Song For Nought

Legolas waited for Nuquer to shut the door and sit down before he said anything.
"I know this is kind of awkward but, we really need to talk." Legolas wanted so much for them to get it over with but he couldn't bring himself to say anything more.
"I know." Nuquer nodded feeling the same way, how was she supposed to tell Legolas what she was really feeling. "I'm really sorry Legolas, you have to believe me but, I don't feel the way I did about us anymore." Nuquer looked down at the floor, she couldn't stand to see the look on Legolas's face when she said this. Legolas sat in silence for a moment.
"I understand Nuquer. I came here to talk so that I'd know this was really the end." Legolas said quietly.
Nuquer held back a sad tear and nodded her consent.
"It's ok. We have our whole lives ahead of us." Legolas stood, he couldn't bear to be in her room any longer. If he had it his way he would have her in his arms and they would be doing nothing near breaking up.
"I'm sorry." Nuquer choked out and turned to look out the window, she wanted to tall him so bad, tell him what she was really feeling.
"Nuquer, I just want to say that I'll always remember you." Legolas whispered and left the room.
Nuquer put her head in her hands and cried softly.

Elladan and Elrohir went to find Maik and Ven.
"I haven't seen Melde around yet today." Elladan commented.
"That's because she hit her head and lost her memory." Ven walked out from behind a tree near their favorite pond.
"What?" Elrohir asked slightly confused.
"It's true, do you want to go see her?" Ven asked as she walked beside Elrohir relishes the feel of having him beside her.
"Yea." Elladan nodded and the three headed towards the infirmary.

Elrond opened the door for the three and they entered quietly.
There was no one else in the room, the elves that were hurt during the battle with the men had all left quite some time ago and that left only Melde sitting in the window seat looking out over Rivendell.
"Hey Melde, how are you feeling?" Ven asked as the three walked towards Melde.
Melde turned and looked at the three, they all seemed so familiar yet she couldn't remember their names or how she knew them.
"Um, I feel fine, just can't remember a thing." Melde answered with a smile.
"You don't remember us do you?" Elladan asked sitting down next to her.
"I'm afraid not." Melde answered truthfully feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's ok. I'm Elladan."
"Elrohir.
"Ven." They all named themselves, "Do you remember how you lost your memory?" Ven asked.
"No, nothing. And it's really starting to bug me. Though Waenmetiel- that's her name right?- said that I must have slipped or something, she found me laying on the floor." Melde offered the story.
"Waenmetiel found you?" Ven asked suspiciously.
"Yes, she's the one who helped me here, oh and I met Nuquer on the way here." Melde smiled as she recalled Nuquer's name.
Elrond walked over to the group.
"It's all very strange. She has no concussion, no bleeding or and damage other than memory lose. And she only has one very minor bump on the side of her head. I'm not sure what to do about her memory yet. I haven't had to deal with this sort of thing before. Elves do not lose their memory easily." Elrond said with a thoughtful frown.
Ven took in what Elrond said and suddenly felt the need to talk to Elladan and Elrohir alone.
"Well, Melde, I hope you feel better. I guess we'll see you at dinner tonight." Ven stood and waited for Elladan and Elrohir to follow suit.
"Ven, what is it?" Elrohir asked as the door to the infirmary closed behind them.
"Don't you find this all very odd?" Ven asked suddenly.
"Well, yes. I've never heard of an elf losing their memory." Elladan nodded in agreement.
"I think it has something to do with Waenmetiel. Isn't in conveniently odd that Nuquer's- who has been acting weird- best friend shows up so we can figure out what's going on suddenly loses her memory and Waenmetiel 'finds' her that way?!" Ven stopped walking and turned to face the twins.
"I think so, let's find Maik, she's have an idea." Elladan nodded.
