=========================

Legolas watched the Palantìr as it showed the world Kei was in. His heart was enraged and his mind was in a quandary state as he saw the men before her. He had never felt utterly helpless in his lifetime as he tried to contain himself from calling out her name. He watched intently as if trying to reach her, clutching the Palantìr as if it would shatter at any given moment.

Some of the elves made a motion to stop him yet, Arwen, understanding his pain, precluded them from doing so. She knew his agony and was deeply moved by his affections for her.

=========================

Kei opened her eyes and found that she was in the last position she was in after the man had hit her in the face. With the elven sword in her hand, she lashed out at him in a desperate attempt to get away. The sword caught his shoulder and cried out in pain. Foreseeing a probable route of escape, she stroke its heath to the head of his companion who fell at the intense impact. Seeing that that was the chance, she gathered her belongings and hastened back to her house where Sean was waiting.

The front door was not an option for her for she does not want her living room soiled. She went through the back door silently but not without heaving gasps for air. She dropped her belongings save the sword lightly by the kitchen sink and was astonished to hear two voices as she was about to call her partner.

"I'm sure she's dead by now. We will have her inheritance soon, Angel." Sean's voice came, "And, no one will stand a chance against you in the competition because she is out of the picture."

"I'm so happy of the way you have used her through the years. To love someone like her is something stupid!" his companion purred, "That is why I love you so much. No one will ever suspect that we killed her. That fake disease was a real hoot."

They laughed heartily making Kei's heart beat wildly in her chest. She unsheathed the sword and with a bowed head, approached them. The two people at her lounge were startled at her emergence and were not able to say a word.

"Has.it been.this long?" she asked, tears evident in her eyes.

Picking himself up, Sean stood up started to reason. "I was talking of a different person, Kei. You know I love you - maybe much more than you'll ever know."

"Don't you mean much less?" she asked looking up at him. "I meant nothing to you then?" Enraged she raised the sword in level with her eyes. "I may not know how to fight but, when angered, you know how I am, Sean. Or perhaps you would wish to find out."

"Alright, enough of this!" Angel stood up. "Sean, just kill her right now."

=========================

Legolas watched the events powerlessly half hating himself for it. With all his will, he thought of aiding her in his heart as tears cascaded from his eyes.

=========================

It was as if some form of power surged within her body and she was able to fight forthrightly with great skill. Sean was held aback as she cut him at his chest. She immobilized him against the wall; sword in hand ready to puncture his throat. "Get out of my house! I never want to see any of you ever again. Another infraction such as this and you shall find yourselves staring at your bodies from a height. Don't try to do anything drastic, Angel. I know what you're planning."

Angel was forced to let go of her vase; the action caused Kei to let go of the vulnerable man before her. The pair exited with hatred flaring within their hearts. They knew that they couldn't attempt another action such as that ever again since it shall be then that they may die or decompose in incarceration; in which none was their option.

Kei sat on the floor crying out her heart and Legolas' name irrepressibly. She knew he had helped her in some way she could not conceive for she cannot wield a sword.

=========================

Elrohir decided to come between him and the Palantìr before he dies of grief. He decided to talk to him before the day completely waned. "Legolas, it is to our knowledge that it is hard for us to bear the loss of a being, mortal or otherwise, close to us. That, too, had been my burden when my father had departed and my sister wed Elessar."

"Yet why do I deem it different and more aggravating than the loss of my good friend, Frodo?" Legolas asked in the midst of the turmoil raging within his soul.

"Your love for her is thus far stronger than your friendship with Frodo." Elrohir answered.

"If it is so, then there is one wish that I have in my heart."
