Alanis didn't go to breakfast that morning. After getting dressed and throwing her cloak on she went out in to the gardens to be alone. She had no doubt that Elrond had already told Legolas who she really was. She had known when Legolas saved her. She remembered the state of mild consciousness she had been in at the time. She really didn't want to see him right now.
She wandered for hours looking out of place in her dark cloak. It had been a long time since she had seen the wonders of Rivendell. She had never known how much she had missed it until her return. She came to her favorite place and couldn't help but gaze at its beauty. She stood on the small bridge and looked down at the river below. She looked up at the sound of someone approaching.
It was Legolas.
There was nowhere to hide. So she merely stayed where she was and allowed him to find her.
~*~ One hour ago.
Legolas followed Elrond silently not knowing what the half-elf wanted. Elrond led the young elf to his study and told him to take a seat. Legolas did as he was asked. Elrond gazed at his face for several moments before sighing and looking out the window.
'There is no simple way to tell you this my young friend' Elrond began, ' I know the pain and suffering you have felt over the last few years.'
Legolas gazed at him in confusion.
'Tell me what Lord Elrond?'
The Half-elfin lord looked at Legolas, a sad smile on his face.
'You will most likely hate your father, myself, Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn for the rest of your life when I tell you so be ready.'
Legolas blinked.
'You were lied to when you were told that Alustriel had died in an orc attack. You and I both know that mere orcs could not kill that girl.'
Elrond sat down across from Legolas.
'The truth is that Alustriel felt the call of her life bonded and had left for the Dark Realm. She has been living there for over fifteen-hundred years.'
Legolas leaned forward in his seat and gripped the arms of the chair tightly.
' She has now returned.' Elrond continued. ' You saved her life a few nights ago.'
Legolas was on his feet in a flash.
'WHAT?!' he cried.
Elrond, expecting the Young elf to be angry prepared himself for the onslaught.
'I can't believe you've been lying to me all these years! I was beaten and broken when I was told she had died! I went insane! And now you have the nerve to tell me that my best friend is alive!'
'It's the truth Legolas' Elrond said calmly
Elrond could see the tears that were threatening to spill from Legolas' eyes.
'Why didn't you tell me?' whispered brokenly
'We had to protect you.' Elrond said as he stood and placed at hand on Legolas' shoulder.
Legolas allowed Elrond to comfort him. All the pain had come flooding back and now he found out that she was alive, he had to talk to her. He at least had to say something.
~*~
Alanis stood silently on the bridge waiting for him. He approached her slowly. Gathering his courage he stepped onto the bridge and looked at her. Even with the cloak on he could tell that she had grown into a beautiful young woman.
"Alustriel?"
~~~~~~
Rebecca moves across the world
She's a sirocco on the sand
She is the Nile that flows forever
Cutting a wound across the land.
She'll be your friend before you know her
She'll have your trust before it's earned
But like any nomad she will wander
Breaking the hearts of all concerned ~~~~~~
She looked at him silently her face hidden by the cloak.
'Elrond told you' she said ' didn't he.'
Legolas nodded and took a step towards her. Though her was both awed and terrified by the black shrouded woman he refused to show his fear.
' Alustriel, I've missed you so much' He said
'Don't call me by that name.' Alanis growled ' My name is Alanis now'
Legolas nodded.
'I was broken when they told me you were dead.'
Alanis remained silent.
'I attempted suicide.'
Alanis looked at him mildly shocked.
'I sent you letters to keep you calm. When you didn't answer I thought you had forgotten me.'
'I received no letters.' Legolas said. ' I would never forget you Elei! You should know that!'
~~~~~
History clouds what we remember
The one that you wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
It is an island in a lonely sea
Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca
~~~~~
Alanis turned away. Legolas felt his heart tear.
'You can't imagine how frightened I was when I left.' She said. 'I was all alone until I met Cerridwyn. Soon all I really cared about was Cerridwyn. She's my life bonded.'
'You have a life bonded?'
Alanis nodded.
'I sent you a letter. But. you never answered.'
Legolas was in shock.
She had a life bonded? But, he had wanted to be her life bonded.
'I was so happy when I met her. She's beautiful Legolas! She's so smart and witty, and I'm.I am still as grotesque as I ever was.'
Legolas shook his head.
'You are not grotesque! You must stop telling yourself that!'
Alanis glared at him.
'At least I am willing to accept the truth!'
They were silent for a few moments before Legolas chuckled.
'I remember when we first met. Do You?'
~~~~~
I was thirteen going on forty
Wasting my summer on the beach
Burned on the outside raw in the middle
That Molly's just too hard to reach
Rebecca moved in
Yeah she moved me
The best friend I'd ever had
And then one day she went away
Didn't think I'd ever feel that bad
~~~~~
'I was so scared,' Legolas said, 'It was my first time in 'Lorien. And then I saw you.'
Alanis nodded
'Yes I remember' she chuckled ' I scared your father silly.'
Legolas chuckled.
'That you did!'
He sighed heavily
'Those had to have been some of the best days of my life.' He said. 'I just don't understand why you didn't tell me where you were going and why.'
~~~~
Where did you go?
Why did you lie?
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
How 'bout the promise that you made me?
Was it really so easy to trade me
For another town
Another friend
Another beginning
Without any end
~~~~~~
'I was in a daze. I couldn't think straight. Cerridwyn had used her one miracle to call me. She needed me more than anything. The only ting I could think about was getting to her. I'm sorry Legolas. I tried to tell you. When I finally gained enough sense to tell you it was too late.'
Legolas tried to get a glimpse of her face but she was standing in the shadows. He remembered how soft her skin was and how shiny her hair had been. Was she still the same girl he had befriended all those years ago? She seemed colder now. Unwelcoming somehow.
She had grown considerably. She was no longer the little squirt he used to hang around with. The wind blew and ruffled her cloak creating a ghostly effect. She seemed to be glaring at him again.
~~~~
So many times I would have called you
If I'd had your number in my hand
You were the one I would have turned to
When things didn't go the way I'd planned
I never got the chance to tell you
Things didn't go the way I'd planned. With that Alanis turned and stepped off the bridge.
'It was good to see you again Legolas,' she said. ' But I must ask you to stay away from me. What once was can no longer be.'
'Why not?!'
~I'm not sure I can survive it.~
With that she left leaving no evidence of ever being there. Legolas sank to his knees and finally let his tears fall. He felt betrayed and lonely. He was worried that things would never change. Never once had the young prince the feeling of love one receives when with their lover. Never once had the young prince taken a lover. And it was all because of Alustriel. She had been the only person her ever really needed. And now he knew for certain that he would always be alone.
~~~~~
History clouds what I remember
The one that I wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
Does she still remember me?
My life is like a turnstile
So many strangers passing through
There have been more than I can number
But I still remember you
Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca
~~~~~
OH! How sad!! Ok I would so like to make this clear. I am NOT a Legolas fan girl. This is because I am Gimli fan girl. Strange I know. I adored Gimli in the books and in the movie. I am also a Gandalf Fan girl and a Sam fan girl. Yes I know I'm disturbed. Legolas is an okay character but Gimli will always be my favorite. Toodles and Please Review!

OH! How sad!! Ok I would so like to make this clear. I am NOT a Legolas fan girl. This is because I am Gimli fan girl. Strange I know. I adored Gimli in the books and in the movie. I am also a Gandalf Fan girl and a Sam fan girl. Yes I know I'm disturbed. Legolas is an okay character but Gimli will always be my favorite. Toodles and Please Review!
