Chapter Nine: Tara's Recovery...But losing faith.
Tara's parents walked into her room quietly. Arwen looked at her unconcious daughter.
"How could she do this to herself, Aragorn?" Arwen's eyes would not leave the almost lifeless figure on the bed.
"I know not, but her pain must have been so unbearable that she turned to death as the answer." Aragorn was still in shock about what his daughter had done. Legolas was still in the hall raving like a mad man to everyone who asked what had happened. With what Legolas was doing all of Middle Earth would know by tomorrow.
Tara's eyes flickered, and then opened. "Legolas?"
Arwen walked over to the side of the bed, "No darling...Legolas is in the hall. Your grandfather said it'd be best that only we visit you till your stable enough."
All Tara heard was, "Blah blah blah Legolas....blah blah blah blah." But she nodded anyway not really giving a damn at the current moment. She felt quisy. She felt as if she had had the strongest dwarven wine in all of Middle Earth. And she was not tired... She wanted to get up and run...Well maybe she was tired...But her stubborn mind denied it. That was probably it.
"Darling, can I ask you something?" Arwen asked.
"Sure, what?" Tara tried to play dumb.
"Why'd you do it?" Arwen asked in a hushed tone.
"I-I-I....felt as if I failed you, and father...That if I hadn't of done what I did...Legolas wouldn't have kissed Her...."
"What did you do to cause Legolas to do that?" Arwen stared at her daughters pale face.
"I know not. That's the problem..I was so confused...I hurt so badly...I gave him EVERYTHING. More than enough...And I wasn't enough for him. So...instead of dying of a broken heart, that would have taken longer...I desided to kill myself...Happy? I'm still breathing...And I'm not the least bit glad about it." She said angrily.
Just then the door creaked open, and Legolas' head popped in. "Elrond's mad because he said I was raving...I don't think I was...Just taking matters....Ah-oh-um- She's awakened?" Legolas asked.
"Yes, she's up." Aragorn said glumly.
"I shouldn't be here! I don't want to be here." Tara whispered to herself.
Legolas stared in disbelief, " That is NOT true! I need you, My princess! I couldn't go on if you left me." He cried as he ran to her side.
Tara looked at him, she was testing him. The suicide attempt wasn't a test...It was her taking herself pitty too far. But the things she said were testing his ability to be a husband.
"If that was true, then why would you kiss her?!" Legolas looked sheepishly.
"I don't know."
She glarred at The Mirkwood Prince, "Oh, that's helpful...Than-nks!"
Legolas looked down at his hands, "I'm sorry...I really am. And I'll be happy to work for the rest of my life to get you to forgive me." He teary- eyed at Tara, "Will you forgive me?"
Tara stared at him, "Hmm, yes...But not fully...You don't deserve to be fully forgiven yet."
