Song For Nought
~
Waenmetiel stared back at Glorfindel trying to think of any escape that she could. Glorfindel had taken her attempt to escape personally and was now holding her in the chair himself.
The door opened to the study and Haldir walked in. Waenmetiel's heart froze, she had never meant to hurt Haldir in any way and she didn't want him to see her like this.
"Haldir, come here, my friend." Glorfindel said, sounding very sympathetic.
"What is wrong?" Haldir knew something was amiss the moment he had asked the young elves where Glorfindel was.
"There are many things Waenmetiel needs to tell all of us and especially you." Glorfindel waited until Haldir stepped towards Waenmetiel.
"What?" Haldir looked very sad. He had truly liked Waenmetiel and was very hurt to find out that she had done something wrong, and he knew that she must be behind the unusual events lately.
"I've figured out how you made the potion to make Nuquer forget about Legolas, and I understand you made her feelings shift to feelings for me. But I don't understand how you made Melde lose her memory." Elrond stepped forward. He had found the book the day before that explained many magical potions that were long forgotten, if ever even used, by elves.
"I've been studying early magic for many ages now, actually ever since I left that summer in Rivendell. I found it fascinating." Waenmetiel confessed
Elrond nodded his head in agreement, "That's understandable. And I see that all the magic has corrupted you though."
Waenmetiel's eyes started to fill with tears, "It started about five years ago. I can't help it!" Waenmetiel cried.
Haldir stepped towards Waenmetiel but Glorfindel stopped him with a protective hand, he shook his head as a warning. Haldir sighed and stepped back.
"I never meant to hurt anyone! I didn't know what I was doing! I just lost my mind and started doing things that I didn't mean to!" Waenmetiel had completely lost herself and was crying, the tears streaming down her cheeks and her eyes getting very puffy.
"Waenmetiel, I'm not sure if we can every really forgive you, but you must leave Rivendell right away and never bother Melde, Nuquer, or Legolas again. Unless Legolas wishes to come to you." Elrond laid down the rules for her. Waenmetiel nodded and reached for her bag.
"If I catch you in Lothlorien, I won't be as forgiving as Lord Elrond was here." Glorfindel warned and as he released Waenmetiel and she nearly ran from the room.
Haldir stood, still taking everything in that he had heard.
"Are you all right my friend?" Glorfindel asked putting his arm around Haldir's shoulder.
"I'm fine. I didn't really know her that well anyways. Do you really think she'll stay out of trouble?" Haldir looked at his closest and oldest friend.
"Who knows." Glorfindel shrugged and the two turned to Elrond.
"Well, I'm glad this is finally over with. And I believe I found the cure for Melde's injury." Elrond smiled hopefully.
"What would that be?" Haldir asked.
"Sugared violets." Elrond chuckled as he out down the book he had found on ancient magic.
"Really now? Sugared violets? I've heard they are very good*." Glorfindel followed Elrond and Haldir out of the study.

Melde, Ven and Elrohir were all sitting in the dining area waiting for everyone else to arrive at some time or another when Elrond, Glorfindel and Haldir walked in, looking quite pleased with themselves.
"Melde! Good news, we have the cure for your memory." Elrond announced handing Melde a single sugared violet.
"A flower?" Melde asked a little skeptical.
"Not just a flower, a sugared violet to be exact. Eat it whole and tomorrow morning you'll remember everything you did before." Elrond motioned for Melde to eat the flower and she did, making a face that obviously was not to pleased to be eating a flower.
"You'll be better tomorrow!" Elrond announced happily as Nuquer and Legolas walked in together holding hands and smiling complacently at each other.
"Look at them! Aren't they a couple chosen by the Valar themselves?!" Melde sighed.

OK note: I stayed up really late typing this so sorry for any errors and I did it because I'm about to go out of town for 5 days so I won't be updating for a while!
This is not the last chapter, there are still a few more to come and then the third part to the story so that should clear things up there!
* I've actually had sugared violets before, of course there was other stuff on them and they were partially frozen but they were in fact delicious!
