Disclaimer: I own nothing from Lord of the Rings ::sob:: but I do own Arinomialwen so don't take her!
Gimli and Aragorn stared at Legolas, unsure of what to do. The elf was standing there, completely dumbfounded. Finally, Gimli spoke as gently as he could,
"What were you doing with the knife Legolas?" Suddenly, the elf's eyes blazed in anger. He said in a most un-elfish way,
"Why must you meddle in my affairs? Leave me alone!"
"Legolas, we are only trying to help!" Aragorn exclaimed, taking a step towards the elf, worried of what he might do. The man noticed that the knife Legolas had carried lay on the ground where Arinomialwen had dropped it.
"I need no help, I am faring just fine as I am!" The elf quickly ran from the clearing, leaving dwarf and elf alone to ponder what to do about him.

Legolas paced his room, fuming about the behavior of his "friends" They had tried to question him several times that night about his actions. He had already given up on sleep, and was going to try to leave his room again without the escort of either Gimli or Aragorn who were still keeping watch ride outside his chambers, when there was a sound from above him. He strained his ears for what it was and, upon hearing it again realized that it was a sob. Curiously he went to his window, because the only thing over his room was the roof.

She tried to run away from him but it was impossible, he was too fast for her, even faster then Legolas.
"Leave me alone!" she screamed, but he only laughed at her and grabbed for her. "What do you want from me?" she asked in despair. He smiled as he tied her hands together.
"Everything."
Arinomialwen woke, gasping and stifling a scream, the cool night air brushing her face gently. It would have been soothing but she was too much in hysterics to care. She had come out to the roof of the castle to think, but had inadvertently fallen asleep and had that dream again..
It had been haunting her since she had been brought back to the palace after her fight with the orc. The poor elf sobbed in despair, for there was no one else to lean on, only herself. She hugged her chin to her knees, suddenly jumping at a sound from below her.
Legolas climbed out onto the roof, seeing the person who was up there. She jumped when she saw him, and began to quickly move away.
"Don't, please!" he cried, but it was useless.
Arinomialwen quickly scrambled away from him, cursing her habit of always settling herself over his room when she wanted to think on the roof. He followed her, but did not have the lightness and quickness that she had achieved from years of climbing around the roof of Mirkwood castle. He had never liked it on top of the place, but she had loved it up here since she discovered that she could climb out of the window onto the roof.
She got to the part where there was a single, narrow flat part that was only about a foot wide with steep sides that fell either directly into the castle moat or into the courtyard. It was a long fall that would not likely be made alive, not even by an elf. Arinomialwen hesitated climbing onto this part, not having done it before, but Legolas was close behind her. She lightly hopped up onto it and began her dissent.
"Stop!" Legolas called. "What is wrong?"
"Leave me alone Legolas!" She replied, and took a step ahead. At that time, a loose stone slid out of place and fell towards the courtyard side, taking Arinomialwen's foot with it. She screamed and grabbed onto the edge of the roof, her hands quickly slipping.
Legolas winced as he saw her fall because he hated heights and climbing on the roof of his palace, but he didn't hesitate to scramble out to where she had fell. If she fell, it would be his entire fault; he had called to her. The guilt was already welling up in him in huge waves. The elf swallowed a lump that was forming in his throat and continued on, tears now streaming down his cheeks.
"Hold on!" He cried to the she-elf willing her with all his heart to hold on. After what seemed like hours, he inched to the point where she was and leaned down to grab her hands. She looked up at him hopelessly as she began to lose her failing grip.
"Hold on!" he said desperately. "I'm trying!" She replied, equally desperate. Legolas grabbed her hands, but they were wet from her own tears.
Her hands slipped from his as she began to fall..
