Drop dead beautiful: chapter 11

"Haldir!" Arwen shouted as she sunk to the floor. Haldir sprinted into the tent with his bow notched with an arrow. He looked at Arwen who was crying for no reason until he saw Lera. Her body laid as if nothing had happen, like it was frozen in time yet everything around her was moving forward. Her skin was paler than normal and her ebony was shining as she contiued in her dreamless sleep.

"How long has she stopped breathing?"He asked as he went over a bag of healing suplies.

"About... two minutes! I don't understand why she stopped breathing! She was stable a moment ago, then she's dead the next." Arwen muttered, wrapping her arms around her knees.

"What happened?!" Rumil and Orophin ran into the tent and the first thing they saw was Arwen crying. Their eyes moved to Haldir leaning over Lera as he poured some medicine down her throat.

"Is she..." Rumil didn't have the will to finish his question when Haldir sat beside Lera's dead body.

"She's gone. When she healed my wounds, it must have been too much on her body. Lady Arwen, it was not your fault in any way. Remember that." Haldir pulled the covers of Lera's bed over her pale face and looked over to Arwen. Her cheeks, damp with tears as she looked back up at him.

"What will happen when Legolas gets back? He'll be devistated! When he returns, he will die!" She shouted. Haldir brow knitted together in confusion as Arwen realized what she had just said.

"What? He wouldn't die unless he was in a bond with her but that is impossible since they have only known each other for two weeks." He said with coldness spitting from his lips.

"Never mind, just don't tell Legolas of Lera's death. We will bury her tonight before Legolas gets back." Arwen dried her tears as she walked and half ran out of the tent. Haldir and his brothers got to work as they went out to an empty clearing.

Half an hour later, Lera laid in a wooden coffin as it sat at the bottom of a grave. Rumil and Orophin pushed dirt back into the grave as Haldir and Arwen watched in dread and sadness.

A wooden cross stuck out of the ground to mark the grave. Arwen placed a bouquet leaning against the cross as she crested the petal of a white lily.

"This flower reminds me of her," Arwen said as she picked up a white rose.

"Its beautiful and captivating, but the thorns keep anyone from getting too close. In her case, it was who she was raised by."Arwen stood and looked back to Haldir and his brothers.

"Now I will never know who she really is." A single tear went down her cheek as she turned her back to the grave. Arwen walked forward without looking back and the three brothers followed.

Arwen sat on a chair inside her tent as she stared off into space. Her tear stained cheeks were pale and her hair carelessly tossed to one side. The sound of horses made her snap out of her trance as she rushed outside.

she saw Aragorn, Legolas, and Gandalf rode into the camp with solem expressions. Aragorn jumped off his horse and walked over to Arwen as he saw the tear marks. He wiped a new fallen tear away as he embraced her.

"Why are you crying? I heard that Haldir almost died but I don't understand why you are in tears?" He questioned.

"She's dead, Lera died right after Legolas left." Arwen muttered as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I still don't understand why you are crying? She has been nothing but a problem ever since she was brought from Mordor." Arwen pushed him back in shock as she took in the words he spoke.

"She was never a burden, she was nothing but my friend the whole time she was alive and yet you still think she was trying to kill everyone!" Arwen yelled.

"If she was still here, she would be sharpening her weapons as we speak!" Aragorn hissed back and didn't realize that a pair of Eleven eyes were on them.

"She healed Haldir and took on all his injuries! It claimed her life!" She screamed at him as she backed away. Arwen suddenly looked to Legolas and saw the saddeness grow in his light blue eyes. More tears poured from her eyes as she stepped toward him.

"Legolas... I'm sorry."

I know its a short chapter, but I needed sometime to edit another story I'm doing. I would like some ideas for future chapters or another story. Please review and tell me! ~ShizukaHeyo
