Only Time will tell

Disclaimer: *sigh* I don't own LotR.

Note: Jan, I'm sorry you don't like the threats about me not writing more if I don't get however many good reviews. I'm going to stop putting threats up. I only did that because I just wanted to make sure that people like my story. I've had stories posted on another pen name that nobody liked, so… just checking!

Other note: CornflowerIII, don't worry I won't get discouraged by those bastards who think my work sucks…whoever they may be. And thanks for the positive compliments!

Other note: If this chapter seems a little bit less… angsty… it's because I'm

hyper on marshmallow Peeps and crispy M&M's at an incredible loss for ideas watching Invader Zim reruns while trying to write

"No," Aragorn whispered quietly, tears streaming freely down his face.

"No, it can't be!"

"I'm afraid so. We must inform the rest of the Fellowship about what has happened."

Elrond walked out of the room, trying not to let his true emotions show. He called an emergency council for the Fellowship to attend in an hour.

Back in the room, Aragorn was sitting in a chair, watching Legolas. The young Elf's breathing was slow and ragged, and the pauses in between breaths were long and many. The Man was sobbing, his shoulders shook with emotion. He brushed a strand of golden hair from Legolas' face.

"Don't go Legolas!" He sobbed. "Please don't go! I love you!"

Only then did Aragorn realize how true that last sentence was. He did love Legolas, more than a friend, more than a brother. Slowly Aragorn leaned over Legolas...

"Aragorn!" Aragorn looked up, startled. Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, and Gimli were crowded around the bed. He tried to ignore the slight smile on Frodo's face and the odd look Gimli was giving him.

"We heard what happened. Elrond held a counsel and told us." Frodo said sadly. His face was grim and he seemed to be fighting tears.

"He's not gone yet," said a quiet voice. The Fellowship turned to see Meg standing in the doorway. Her face was streaked with tears, but she had a smug face on.

"I know something we can do."

Meg then proceeded to tell the Fellowship her plan.

AE: MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I love cliffhangers… Well, next time we find out what Meg's plan is. Heck, I don't even know what it is! ^_^' heh… Well, be kind and review!

PS: Happy Easter!!!! ^_~
