For about a week Aliya was confined to a bed, and I was told not to upset her. I didn't know how to be around her- so I made sure she was sleeping when I visited.
I just sat there stroking her hair, holding her head in my lap. I loved just being able to hold her again- no complications. Finally, one day, Father made me talk to her.
She now held a child within her that was the last legacy of Miama. It made me hate her, to think that she in a way had caused all of this, but it had made everything different. When I walked into the room I was amazed to see her standing. She was still beautiful and slender, even with the new spirit within.
I sighed as I walked into the room. I was afraid, I didn't know what to say, so I looked to the floor, arms folded. She walked over to me and held my chin in her hands. They were so small it took two of them to cup my chin. I smiled as I looked into her eyes, seeing that she was eagerly awaiting a response from me. I kissed her lightly, not wanting to hurt her. She smiled and hugged me with her shoulders, I assumed her stomach still hurt.
" I missed you," she said holding my hands in hers, until I took her hands into mine and kissed them.
" I couldn't come, it just hurt too much to see you like that." I tried to make her understand... but she just got frustrated.
" I went through all of this for you, and you couldn't see me?" She turned away from me and started to walk away, but I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I saw her wince so I tried to hurry. Laying her back on the bed, I kissed her again, saying I had missed her too.
" I don't understand you," She said, looking at me with concern. " I hurt, in my body, in my heart. You said you loved me yet you were not there when I needed you the most." She stood up slowly, and dusted herself off defiantly. " I know we were separated, but that made me want to see you all the more. And you weren't there."
She walked past me to the door. " I can't stand to be without you, but like this, this distance, I can't stand to be with you." With that she left the room, walking to who knows where. I tried to follow, but as she sometimes did, she disappeared.
I once again alerted all the guards, who soon brought back a kicking and screaming Aliya, who I locked in her room.
"Are you going to hear me out?" I whispered through the door.
"Let me out, Legolas…" she growled.
"Are you going to listen to me?" I pressed, "I will not open this door until you say yes."
I heard her sigh in defeat, then receding steps. I felt that she refused to say it, but that she gave in.
I unlocked the door, and opened it slowly. She was back on the bed, sitting thoughtfully. I moved to sit next to her. I took her hand in mine and kissed it.
She smiled her honey smile, but only with her lips, and her voice was still strained, "To many times you have abandoned me, Legolas…I love you, but I can't stand it." Her eyes looked severely hurt.. as she looked for a true consolation.
"I love you too, Melamin!" I exclaimed, "I will be with you forever now! I will never leave you again, I promise with all my heart!"
She looked away, "You promise?" she asked suspiciously.
"Yes!" I said, with all honesty, "I love you!"
"I love you too, Legolas…" she offered, "But right now I need to talk to someone else, some one who has never hurt me. May I speak with the King?"
I looked at her questioningly, but she offered not hint as to why she wanted to speak to him, "Yes…" I said slowly, "I will tell him to come to you…"
"Thank You, Legolas…" she whispered as I kissed her briefly on the lips. She looked away as I left. I closed the door, once again locking it behind. I have her back, I thought to myself, smiling, I may have to lock her up now, but I have her back.
