Song For Nought

~

Author's Note: The next week will be slow on updates, if I even update at all due to various school tests and other stressful life stuff.mumble something not so nice about the real world and especially teachers who like to pile stuff up at the same time.*sigh*

Elladan, Elrohir, and Ven found Maik in her room looking very glum.

"Is it the Nuquer things?" Ven asked as she led Elladan and Elrohir into the dark room.

"Yes." Maik leaned against Ven as she sat down next to Maik.

"Maik, we just talked to Melde." Elladan sat in a chair across from Maik.

"Is she alright?" Maik looked up at him.

"Well, I guess. She has no memory what so ever and Elrond is a little confused about how it happened." Elladan explained.

"What do you mean?"

"She doesn't appear to have hit her head hard enough to lose her memory but, she definitely lost her memory. The funny thing about all this is that Waenmetiel found her laying on the floor." Elladan looked very smug as he said this.

"Really now did she?" Maik soon forgot her earlier argument with Nuquer and was fast forming ideas in her head. "That's all very interesting." Maik thought a little more. "I have no idea this time." Maik finally confirmed.

"What do you mean you don't have an idea?!" Ven exclaimed, she had never heard those words come out of Maik's mouth before and never imagined it would be such a shock.

"Well, I mean, how could this have happened?!" Maik was truly fed up with trying to figure this whole situation out. She wanted to strangle Waenmetiel, she wanted to strangle Nuquer! She needed to vent!

"Maik, calm down!" Elladan moved from his spot on his chair and pushed Maik back down onto her bed, her looked into her eyes,

"Maik, don't stress out on us now. You need to take a deep breath and we'll figure this out together. We'll get Legolas in here, he went to talk to Nuquer-"

"He did!?" Ven stood up this time.

"Yea, why?' Elrohir finally spoke up.

"That's why I argued with Nuquer earlier today!" Maik breathed a sigh of relief, at least that was out of the way.

Just then, as if on cue, Legolas came bursting in the room.

"Elladan, Elrohir! I need to talk to you!" Legolas said, sounding very exasperated.

"Well don't bother knocking or anything!" Maik said, though smiling to let Legolas know she didn't mean it.

"Oh yea, sorry about that." Legolas smiled shyly.

"Um, Legolas, actually right now, we need to talk to you." Elrohir stated.

"Why doesn't this sound good?" Legolas looked around at the solemn faces of his friends.

Maik and Ven set out explaining the situation immediately and Legolas told of his and Nuquer's talk in her bedroom.

"Well, now that we have everything straightened out." Ven sighed thinking on what she had been told.

"Ok, so Melde, what are we going to do about that?" Legolas looked around and took in their blank faces.

"I don't know." Maik shook her head in frustration.

"We need to get Nuquer in here, she'd help us." Maik sighed once again.

"Or she'd drive us crazy that our brains would think of something so we could shut her up you mean." Ven corrected Maik.

"Guys, I just thought of something." Legolas said a bit quietly.

"What?" They all asked in unison.

"I think I loved Nuquer." He said looking down at the floor.

Waenmetiel and Haldir were sitting close together on a bench in the central courtyard.

"Waenmetiel, what brought you back to Rivendell?" Haldir asked.

"I don't know really. I guess I was tired of traveling and wanted to come back here." Waenmetiel answered half truthfully.

"I'm glad you came here." Haldir told her, quite truthfully.

"Thank you, I'm glad I came here too." Waenmetiel smiled back at Haldir.
