Legolas POV:
I tried to go back to sleep but with no success, so I decided to go for a walk. I silently wandered down the dark hallway when I heard soft snoring out of the hobbits room. Sam was fast asleep, so where Frodo and Merry, while Pippin mumbled something about mushrooms in his sleep.
I smirked, Hobbits were indeed strange creatures. I kept on walking till I came to the white marble door that let to the big gardens that surrounded Elrond's castle. The high willow trees and mighty bushes were shielding it from the world outside, giving it quiet peace. When I stepped outside the moon showered me in it's silver light, like he was embracing me. Soothing me.
A white marble bench that was not far away; seemed to invite me to sit down for a while; which I gladly did. Looking up to the moon I felt a silver tear slipping down my cheek but I didn't care. Right now I only cared for the moon. Clouds were surrounding it trying to swallow it whole. Stars where blinking everywhere and some birds flew high above but still not high enough to touch on of the glittery sparkles.
Shadows were playing trough the scenery, caused by little critters and the leaves that where carried away by the wind.
It wasn't a cold night but still I shivered. I closed my eyes to think, only to open them again, when pictures of Aragorn made their way trough my mind. I had hurt him tonight. I really had hurt him and it kills me.
Still I have to go on with my plan. It's for the better...
***************************************************************************
As Legolas sat there, a dark figure hidden by tall oak trees was watching the oblivious elf. A sigh could be heard and the figure was instantly worried that the blonde beauty could have heard him but Legolas was so deep in thought he wouldn't have noticed it when one of those trees would have fallen down right in front of his feet.
The silver moon that was hidden by the dark clouds finally came back bathing everything in his silver glow. The figure stepped back but he was slow enough to get a quick glimpse at his pain-streaked face. It was Aragorn who was watching. He himself felt stupid for spying on his friend but since Legolas wouldn't tell him he might as well watch him to get a clue of what was going on.
Right now his eyes showed pity, as he saw the tear slip down his beloved ones face. He wasn't mad at his friend for cursing at him because they had had some really rude fights when they were alone but they would always be at peace a minute later or a hour when Legolas had thrown a fit. 'You think I'm quiet! You think I'm always calm! WELL I'M NOT', his friend once had said and it was true. Legolas could be worse then Gimli when he was irritated or upset.
Right now he wished nothing more then for his friend to come back, telling him that he is sorry like all the other times. But Aragorn had the feeling that this time Legolas wouldn't come and he dreaded that thought. Not because they were going to start the journey in a couple of hours but if his friend was strong enough for it.
Sunrise was fast approaching so Strider quickly left his hiding place to go back to his room and make some more preparations. Legolas however sat there until the sun could be seen as it was rising over the mountains.
***************************************************************************
Legolas POV:
The endless train of my thoughts was interrupted when the sun finally laid its golden hands upon my pale face. 'Have I be sitting here for such a long time?' I quickly got up and ran back to the castle. "Good morning Master Legolas" a guard greeted me with a smile. I nodded and kept on walking without looking back. The four Hobbits were already sitting on one of the tables eagerly eating their breakfast. I smirked again when I saw the extra large portion of mushrooms on Pippins plate.
I then seated myself on the far corner of the hall. Not because I wanted to avoid anyone, it was just a habit. A servant quickly brought rich food to me, smiling like the guard I met before. I thanked him and began to eat. I did not care what food it was as long as its taste was not spicy or sour. I hated those flavours. Every since I had to eat them for 500 years. I made a face as pain filled memories full of sorrow and agony wept trough my mind. Again my heart was aching like it was going to be ripped out of my chest.
When the pain finally subsided I heard someone approaching the table. "Good morning Legolas, can I sit down with you?" Aragorn asked. I gave up my plan for once and pushed it into the back of my head. If he would not ask me any more questions, I would not have to make any use of it. No wait. He would still mourn over me then. Damn what am I going to do now? It's always easy to say that you are able to hurt your best friend when he is NOT sitting right in front of you but when he is; it's truly not in the slightest way easy.
The servant came again to bring Aragorn his food who thanked him in return. "Looks great," he said while looking over the food hungrily. "Yeah it tastes also really good," I returned while taking a bite of my scrambled eggs.
'He is acting like yesterday never happened. Maybe he gave up. Yeah maybe...'
***************************************************************************
Aragorn closely watched Legolas as he ate. He was unbearably hungry so he nearly threw everything into his mouth at the same time. Legolas gave a small laugh, which Aragorn nearly over heard. He could feel the blood shoot into his head and the warmth there. What an embarrassing moment for him!
"Hey I am hungry and the food is great so why are you laughing??? You should taste the spicy chicken it really is the best of it all" as soon as Aragorn said the word spicy Legolas turned white. "What's wrong?" Now his friend wasn't laughing and not even the slightest grin formed around his perfect mouth.
"Nothing I...I gotta go up to my room and prepare for the journey" he lied getting up and leaving a dazzled Aragorn behind. He already had all his preparations done but he could not stand this food. It wasn't even in his reach but still the words made him crumble.
****** Flashback ******
3000 years ago a young Legolas cowardly sat in a dark corner waiting silently for his food. He knew that he would get it, even if he was nothing more then a slave. He also knew that he was his master's favourite slave, which made him proud, and scream at the same time. Soon a growling Orc came to him and gave him a stone plate with some food on it and a cup filled with a strange looking liquid.
The food tasted too spicy for his likes and made him thirsty but the liquid was as sour as a hundred citrons. He made no face as he was used to these flavours. I guess after 379 years everyone would get used to it.
He no longer wished to be free as his mind was erased from every memory he had before he was captured. Truth to be told he didn't even knew anymore what words such as freedom and peace ment.
When he had finished the Orc came back and took the plate and the cup away. "Our master wants to see you and he is not happy with you..." the Orc snickered.
Legolas mouth went dry no he couldn't have known, that the fair elf had takes a quick glance at the sun yesterday. No he just couldn't. He resisted to go as he knew the punishments that were soon to come...but the growling Orc lifted him up and brought him to his master...
Legolas POV:
I cried out in anguish. I had so long tried to forget it and to begin a new live but I have to say that I never really succeeded at both. Those memories were still haunting me, making it unbearable to go on. Somehow, I have a small victory in forgetting who my master was and where I was back then. 'Sounds funny but sometimes your mind is so fucked up that you finally forget it. ' I tell myself but then another thought occurred me. Maybe he wanted me to forget and maybe he is still out there. I quickly push those thoughts away. No that couldn't be. NEVER!!!!
