A/N- It's very short, I'm sorry for that, but I wanted you to see how Legolas was really reacting to Mya's apparent death. The next Chapter will be back with Mya as she makes her way to Helm's Deep. I will post it as soon as it's written. Thank you so much for reading, reviewing and being awesome! As always, I don't own Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings (much to my sadness).
Chapter 26
Sorrow
The group made it the rest of the way to Helm's Deep unscathed. As a whole they were quiet even though they had technically had victory over the Orcs and the Wargs. Legolas became more and more distant, the further they got away from the battle site. Gimli knew the Elf was heartsick over the loss of Mya, but didn't know how deeply he felt his grief.
After they got to Helm's Deep, Legolas separated from the group, seeking solace and quiet. He knew he'd destroyed his chance to be with Mya, because he had been pushing her away and it was his own insecurities and jealousy driving him to do it, but he didn't know he would lose her so soon. He fully blamed himself because she thought he was rejecting their bond and that made her careless. If she had been less careless, then maybe he wouldn't have lost her.
Sobbing to himself, he punched a wall. His Mya, his life was lost to him forever. He didn't think he could keep going, nothing seemed worth it anymore. Falling into a sitting position he could no longer keep the tears to himself. He gasped for breath as the agony of knowing he'd lost his soul mate washed over him. He continued sobbing for what felt like hours, but didn't seem to be able to find an end to his tears.
A gentle hand on his shoulder startled him as he wasn't expecting anyone to follow him. He looked up to see Eowyn's concerned brown eyes, filled with both sorrow and sympathy.
"Legolas," she said lowly. "I don't have the right words to help you feel better, I can't offer you any kind of comfort except to sit here next to you and be your friend. I can't even begin to comprehend the loss you must be feeling, but I am willing to be here for you if you'll let me." Legolas looked at her blankly as she sat down before he turned his head away from her and thought about his Mya. The two sat in silence for most of the day, each lost in their own thoughts before Eowyn again broke the silence.
"I remember the day I met Mya, I was around twelve and she was getting ready to go on the mission to England. She was nervous and excited, but a little sad too. I remember her saying that she'd miss you the most because of how much she loved you. I always wanted to find someone that I could love like that." She said, sadly. Legolas looked at Eowyn, remembering that Mya had come through Rohan on her way to Mirkwood to say goodbye to him before she left. He didn't say anything though, he didn't think he'd be able to speak again.
