Chapter 52: Golf and seperation

Stephanie lead them down a hallway that seemed familier, she walked into the common room. It was like Legolas remembered it, the chairs, fireplaces, everything was the same. None of the fellowship was there and none of the Hogwarts students where there, but he noticed one person that he reconized from Earth. He walked toward the person that was in a chair and was very confused.

"Name?" asked Legolas as he got within speaking distance of the person.

"Drykah" he replied as Stephanie came over, "You really don't have to ask, the person you had to worry about it dead."

"I heard about that," said Stephanie, then she looked toward a picture that was on the wall, "but that does not mean that they will not come back."

"Neither of them are coming back." Stephanie looked at him, something seemed different about her when she looked back from the painting.

"It is not that simple to be rid of people like that." he rose in anger from this comment.

"You think that was easy!?" he was going to continue when Stephanie put a hand up.

"I never said it was, I mean, something evil may be gone, but to balance it out, something good must go as well." she said before she looked back at the picture, this drew everyone elses attention that was in the conversation to the picture. It was a picture of a women that looked like she had been in a great battle. One half of her was dressed in white, the other in black, her hair was also divided the same way. She had wings as well that where torn and tattered, one an angels, the other a demons. The blood that dripped from the slit on her neck gathered together to form a jewel of some kind. The thing that everyone had noticed first, the woman had no face, it was just a pale head that staired blankly back at you. If you looked close enough, you could almost say that there was a face, but you could never see it.

"Just don't tell Cassandra, she is more than likly just gald to be rid of Hope. They will try to come back, I will just take care of it before it is noticed. I will take care of that later, would you like to join us, Drykah?"

"Join you for what?" he asked, he mainly wanted to go back and see what she said was true.

"To teach these two to play golf." he shook his head, "Well you need to talk to someone because you may be here for a while."

"No I will be just fine here until I figure out a way back."

"Why don't you talk to some of our dragons, you might find out something interesting from them." she said and before he could object he was being dragged off by a couple of children out the door. She walked over to Tay and Cassandra who was asleep in his lap and tapped him on the head waking him up from his nap.

"What do you want?" he said in mid-yawn running his hands through Cassandra's hair without realizing it. Stephanie gestured to what he was doing, stopped and tried to get up. Cassandra held him down in her sleep.

"My Tay!" Stephanie stepped out of the room for a few moments as Tay glared at the human and elf that where tring to hold back the chuckles that where caused by the prdictiment that Tay was in. Stephanie came back in with a stuffed panther that was half the size of Tay. Tay took the panther and put it in his place in Cassandra's arms, "My Tay, smells nice."

She grinned in her sleep, Tay pointed toward her then the door. Stephanie understanding what he was saying nodded and Tay carried Cassandra out of the room.

"He will be joining us outside, once he tucks her in." she chuckled as she lead them out of the room and down a flight of stairs. Sure enough, Tay was waiting for them outside of the castle with a bag of golf clubs at his side.

"Is this like baseball?" asked Legolas as he grabbed one of the golf clubs, Stephanie shook her head as well as Tay.

"Not really, you hit the ball as hard as you can..." started Stephanie.

"Try to get it in the hole with the flag sticking out of it..." continued Tay.

"There are on a average nine holes and whoever gets the ball in all nine holes..."

"With the least hits..."

"Wins." Legolas and Aragorn nodded, it was simple enough. Until they found out how dangerous it was.

Tay decided to go first, he wanted to show them how it sould be done. When he swung back, he felt the club hit something soft. Looking back he saw Aragorn on the ground in pain. He knew then that if he ever saw Arwen again, to run for his life.

"Are you alright?" asked Tay, knowing the answer very well.

In a very high pitched voice he answered, "No!"

Aragorn was normally not one to go for revenge, but he had a reason to do so today. Still in pain he decieded to try, but because of the pain he misjudged and hit the wrong elf.

"I am sorry my friend!" he had a feeling that there wouldn't be any mini-Legolases running around for a while.

"That is alright, I think." replied Legolas in an even higher voice than poor Aragorn had.

It was Legolas's turn and he honestly didn't try to hit anyone, but he was still in pain. He felt something hit the club as he swung backwards and now it was Tay's turn to be on the ground in pain.

"Is it normal for golf to be this dangerous?" asked Legolas as he tried to help Tay up.

"Only if the people who are playing don't know what they are doing." replied Stephanie who was tring not to laugh. She had known better and stood a good distance to the side of everyone. Legolas looked up at her in time to see her start to head back toward the castle. He wanted to go after her, but he knew that he had to spend time with the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stephnaie woke up and sighed, she was hoping that today wasn't the day but she knew it was. She could still feel the warmth on the couch from where he slept, so she knew he didn't leave that long ago.

She stood up and started to head toward the stairs. She figured that if Draco wasn't around any more then she might as well spend as much time with her friend as she could before it was too late.

She looked in as saw that Draco was still there and was trying to wake Cassandra without hurting her.

"It might be best that we get her home so that her mom doesn't get anymore angery with me." said Stephanie when she looked into the room. Draco nodded and both of them carried Cassandra to the car.

"So Legolas left?" asked Draco as they had walked past the living room, Stephanie nodded and Draco looked at the angel that he was helping carry to the car, "Is that why you are sneaking Cassandra out, so that she won't find out that he left and that I havn't?"

"I guess I am predictable, I don't want her to feel guilty for anything that no one had controle over." They placed her in the backseat, with Draco supporting her head. Stephanie found it sweet how those two interacted, she started to long for company that she knew that she would never have.

They got to Cassandra's house and tried to wake her up. She just tightened her grip on Draco.

"No Drykah, I don't wanna, My Drykah." she said in her sleep, Draco had a look of saddness at these words.

"Had it been like this all night?" asked Stephanie kindly, he nodded. Stephanie could see the tears that wanted to come.

"For once I find something that I truely want, something that could have gone right. Only to find out that her heart belongs to another. Why is that? Why am a cursed to live a life that I do not want, to live without someone by my side? She calls his name in her sleep, her dreams, her heart. I may not stand a chance anymore, but I want atleast some more time with her. Yet it is so hard to see her, knowing that I cannot be the one that she wants!" he looked down at her and kissed her on the forehead, she sighed and held his hand. They both knew that she thought it was Drykah, but Draco wanted to believe for a moment that it was him that she was dreaming about.

Stephanie reached over and woke Cassandra up, Cassandra looked up into Draco's eyes. She noticed the slight saddness in his eyes, she began to worry about him.

"Something wrong?" she asked as she sat up, she noticed that Legolas wasn't there, "Where is Leoglas?"

"He went back." replied Draco before Stephanie could make up a reason for him not to be there. Cassandra looked at Draco, then Stephanie then back to Draco.

"Then why are you still here?" Stephanie put a hand in the air before Draco could say anything.

"Because you need him here..." she started before Cassandra interupted her.

"You need Legolas more, I can see that. For how long I have known you, some of the very few moments that I have seen you happy, truely happy, was with Legolas! You can't hide all of your life, you have nothing, no one to hide behind."

Draco heard a voice in his head, "You may wnat to get one last kiss good-bye. In here guilt, Cassandra is sending you back without realizing it."

With that, Draco pulled Cassandra into a passionate kiss. She, without realizing it, returned it. He broke the kiss and looked at her.

"The only time that I wanted something, someone, and she will be gone from me forever." he gave her one last kiss before he disappeared. Cassandra just put her fingers to her lips and hugged herself with arms that still held his warmth.

Stephanie just looked forward, not looking at anything. She was glad that Cassandra got one last look, and one last kiss from someone that truly loved her without realizing it until the end. Cassandra left, still pondering what happened, compleatly forgetting about her friend who's tears started to fall after she was out of the driveway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I hope that was good! I know it was depressing, but it seemed like a way to handle it so that everyone was happy.

Ravage Blue: Yes you got golf, but not as much as I would have liked. I don't know that much about it, I would have to ask David to tell me more about it. Stupid golf-freak! But hey everyone got thier revenge in golf!

Miss Cassi (2 reviews): I know you hate pumpkins thats why I had you have chocolate milk, the kind you like. Sorry I can't have much more of Drykah, but we won't see the Earth people for a good while. When I said just two things that they had done, I ment movies. Only two of Anne Rice's vampire books where made into movies, those are the only way that they can be both book and movie characters. All the others are just books.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this one!
