9. Seeing Haldir

Bella's POV

After talking with Tauriel I walked towards the end of the forest. I needed to think just to be alone. But I knew that I wasn't alone.

"So you've made your choice but your still not sure if you made the right decision." I turned and saw Haldir standing a few feet away from me.

"Yes I did. I hope that pleases you knowing that I just hurt someone that I love in the process." I said with a lot of hatered.

Haldir came towards me looking at me with hatered in his immortal eyes.

"You think I enjoy seeing you upset knowing that you had to hurt Legolas. Well I'm not Bella."

"Why did you fallow me here?"

"You are my mate. It is my duty to keep you safe from harm and to make sure that no harm ever comes to you."

"I can look after myself. I don't need to depend on you for everything."

"Bella, I'm not going to take that chance. I almost lost you in the battle of the five armies. You almost died."

I didn't want to remember that battle. It was my fault that Fili was dead and gone.

Haldir then wrapped his arms around me holding me.

"I have to go Haldir. I have to complete this quest."

"But this has nothing to do with you. It is not your fight."

"It is my duty to make sure that no harm comes to Frodo and it is my fight. When this is over I will come back I promise." Haldir then leaned over and kissed me.

The following morning me and the rest of the fellowship left Lorien. But still it frightened me not knowing if I would ever see Haldir again. But I knew that we would be together in this world or the next.
