The
trek back to the foot of the mountain was a slow and silent one. Legolas was
speechless for words, misunderstanding what had just happened. She had kissed
him… him! Of all people why him? Because he was there? Maybe… no… she couldn't
have meant what she had done that wouldn't make any sense… she hadn't even
known him for that long… it had been what? 4? 5 Days? This didn't make any
sense… Legolas shook his head trying to figure this out in the best sense
possible. Fayte watched him from the corner of her eye, the confused look on
his face was extremely amusing. His ocean eyes clouded with frustration and
confusion, his slick eyebrows shaped into a frown, she almost felt like kissing
him again, not just for the result, but it felt… Her thoughts were abruptly
ceased as the two of them came upon Aragorn and Gimli walking up the mountain
to meet them, Gimli some ways behind of course. Aragorn's eyes trailed from
Fayte to Legolas, the confused face was very comical in his eyes. He didn't
know what had gone on, but it looked like Legolas had gotten quite a shock.
"We almost thought you had gotten
yourselves ambushed by orcs! What took you two so long?" Aragorn's smile reeked
of sarcasm and mockery. Fayte glared at him, he knew what had gone on, any
logical person could have figured it out. Her eyes suddenly changed to match
his sarcasm and lifted her brows.
"The mountain pass is safe, we
could run into some trouble fouler then orcs up there, we had come across there
path on the decline down." Legolas stared down at the dark earth below him,
thoughts streaming through his elven mind. Aragorn nodded and brushed past
Fayte, his pace quickening from a walk to a light jog. Fayte and Legolas
followed closely behind him Gimli still struggling to keep up. There walk was
quick, keeping up their light pace up the now fogged mountain. The fog was
indeed thick Legolas searching to make sure Gimli could keep or just even see
them as the jogged. Fayte felt vibrations from the ground below her, her
somewhat clouded senses focusing to hear the light footsteps around her. There
was definitely someone walking toward them, couldn't he just give up on her?
Why did he have to be so damn persistent! Aragorn came face to face with
Faramir, Though he was a little surprised by Aragorn's sudden appearance,
expecting to see that of an elf's. His eyes searched behind Aragorn to see
Fayte and Legolas a few meter's behind. He looked at Aragorn with somewhat of
respecting features.
"The elf comes with me Lord
Aragorn, I apologize for her disobedience and troublesome ways she has been to
you and your company." He brushed past Aragorn and stared down at Fayte with fierce
cold eyes shrouded in pure hatred. She met his cold stare for her own
devastating one. She wasn't afraid of him, and its about time he should realize
that. Aragorn's hand placed itself on Faramir's tensed shoulder.
"That won't be necessary Captain, She
has been quite a pleasant addition to our company." Faramir turned back to
Aragorn his eyes fierce but pleasant to his Lord.
"She has disobeyed my
rules, I shall be in charge of her where about's, this doesn't concern
you, I apologize for my crude remark but this isn't your business anymore" When
he turned his eyes back to Fayte, a sharp arrow point met him instead. Legolas
stood protectively in front of Fayte, eyes fierce.
"Fayte is our business
Captain, she stays with us" Faramir searched the angry faced elf and his
troublesome eyes. He let out a tiny snicker and raised his eyebrow
threateningly.
"You don't actually think she
likes you do you? This elf is far different from the ones you've encountered,
she feels not emotion nor pain, don't grow attached to his dark minded rouge"
Legolas looked at his serious eyes. He wouldn't believe what this man was
telling him. Of course it wasn't true… The anger and frustration was keen in
the pools of blue. His hand pulled back more giving the arrow more strength if
it were to rip into its opponent.
"She is part of our company
now, what she has done in the past does not concern us, she is in our
protection now captain, I suggest you stand down before my steel meets your
worthless flesh." Faramir's stone cold glare threatened the elf. Aragorn placed
himself between the two furious rivals. Aragorn pushed Legolas's bow slowly
towards the ground. Legolas's eyes never leaving Faramir as he allowed his
weapon to be lowered. Aragorn turned himself to Faramir.
"We will be taking Fayte with us,
I sincerely apologize for any distraught actions this may cause you and your
knights." His calm yet stern eyes waited for Faramir's rebellion but it never
came. He simply nodded and brushed past the three. Whispering silently as he
passed Fayte.
"This isn't the end elf" Legolas
catching word of this threat. He ignored it and waited for Gimli to pass in
front of him. The four continued there way up to the peak of the fogged
mountain. It didn't take long for the dark sky to catch up with them. As they
reached the top of the mountain the entire sky was covered in darkness with the
small lights of the sky and the crescent cloud covered moon above them. Fayte
felt some what at a comfort stage as the night surrounded her. She smiled as
her heart eased. Aragorn stopped in his footsteps and searched there darkened
surroundings. He turned to the others briefly.
"We're going to make camp
tonight…" His eyes never met any of there's as he continued scanning there
area. Legolas looked at him quizzingly.
"Aragorn, there is no need to make
camp, we can walk in the dark" Legolas tried to get Aragorn to look at him but
whatever he was looking for he was apparently determined to find it." Fayte was
looking around the area Aragorn was searching seeing nothing so important it
prosecuted there journey. Eventually she gave up and just kept herself in
silence.
Camp was made in a few minutes,
nothing was needed, no tent to shelter under for the sky was remarkably clear
that night. The stars not hidden from the mists of the clouds, they stared
blankly down at the travelers. Fayte had chosen a somewhat not rocky area for
sleep. It had been awhile since she had visited her nightmares in her dark
shrouded mind. She felt a little uneasy about rest. It would brighten her
spirit and refreshen her body… but the nightmares of her past disturbed her.
Ignoring her uneasiness she lay her head down on the cold ground making sure
not to draw any unwanted attention. Gimli was out like a rock, snoring loudly.
Aragorn was unusually tense and alert, perching himself on a rock scouting the
perimeter. Legolas beside the fire watching the flames spit up full of anger
from the burning wood and ash. Her eyes were slowly gaining weight, she didn't
argue against her body needs and shut them unaware of the darkness she would
visit this night…
|- Song: Evanescence – Bring me to life -|
:How can you see into my eyes
like open doors:
Darkness
clouding Fayte's mind until nothing remained. Memories flashed through her mind
slowly cutting her down bit by bit.
:Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb:
A clouded forest emerged into her mind. Thick with trees and a dark sky staring down at her from above. She was covered in her black cloak but younger then she was now. The only light visible was the half clouded moon a light mist played about the floor of the forest.
:Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home:
Her
dark eyes stared up at the moon's light. Her eyes were full of misery. Clouded
with tears her dark eyes traveled to her hands. Blood streaked every inch
dripping from her finger tips she looked back up at the moon a soft cry
escaping her frozen lips.
:(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up:
Her tear stained eyes traveled to the three bodies lying a few feet away from her. She closed her eyes and stared down at the cold forest floor. She covered her ears with her hands and shook her head tears streaming. It wasn't her fault… it was them! Those filthy worthless men… it was them… not her! She was defending herself… she was defending herself… Fayte cried trying to push the words that she was innocent into her mind.
:Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up:
She cried holding her head in her red hands. A flash cursed through her mind to what had previously happened. The three men had advanced on her. They were visiting Rivendell from Gondor. They were there to see Fayte's father… But they stared at her as if she was prey. Her eyes glared with fear and hate as they stepped closer to her with evil eyes. Another flash split through her as she felt them grab her arm. She fought back with force and grabbed one of the daggers sheathed on the man's belt. Flashes of the fight and kill streaked through her haunted mind.
:Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
(Save me from the nothing I've become):
She sat huddled against a
tree shaking from what she had just done. Staring at her blood stained hands.
She couldn't go back there... Not again… they would hate her… they would call
her names… they would ban her from that place… her father would hate her… her
sister would despise her… she had no home there anymore.
:Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life:
Picking herself off of the ground she ran through the forest never stopping. Tears streaming. She kept her fast pace for hours. Running through the endless forest until she found herself at the edge of a mountain.
:Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life:
Not thinking about anything else but to get away she climbed. Her eyes focused to the top of the mountain she continued her climb not stop for a break. She slowly reached the top of the mountain after an hours fast climb.
:Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead:
Fayte stood tall on the top of the mountain looking below her at the endless forest. Her tears had slowed as she took in deep breaths of the fresh clean air. Scanning the forest until she came upon the city. Rivendell looked beautiful in the night.
:All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me:
The moonlight glistened
off of the structures. She stared over the horizon the night sky was slowly
lightening. She wasn't ready to go back to the place yet. Sighing she took one
last deep breath and began her climb down from the mountain.
:I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything:
The day passed. Night had once again gained its control over the sky. Fayte had her black cloak covering her, the hood covering her face. She walked swiftly through the forest. Passing the place were the attack was she looked over at it. Her eyes cold and unfeeling she simply turned her face and continued her walk back to Rivendell.
:Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul:
She had snuck into the
city. She knew they had sensed her arrival. Quickly she grabbed her bow and
quiver from her bedroom. Packing few travel supplies she turned to come face to
face with her Father. His eyes were tearful but full of anger.
:Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life:
He stared at her. Why? Why had she done what she had did? Didn't she love her city? Her people? Her family? What has happened to her? Questions none of them she could answer. She looked up at her father closed her eyes briefly and brushed past him towards the doorway ignoring his last calls to her.
:Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside:
She stood on the bridge her cloak once again covering her face as a tear slipped from her eyes hitting the stone beneath her. She took a deep breath. This is it… she will never return… these are her new emotions… cold… unfeeling… not a care… no more tears… no more nightmares. She exhaled her breath and took her first step of her journey. The destination wasn't quite clear to her but she needed to leave to get away. Walking swiftly she left the city and its people after that horrible night that had changed her in so many ways.
:Bring me to life:
