ALTERNATE ENDING A
She handed me a rabbit to cook. I take one look at it and frown, "Next time when I tell you to hunt you own food you will not have Celorfiwyn do it for you."
She glared at me; "I don't care what you say. I'll just leave here and leave with Celorfiwyn. The people in his village love me! They give me anything I want!"
I sigh, "Yes, of course, go. I don't mind. When you leave I will return to the castle. I do not mind. In fast I'll begin packing now."
I walk at a steady pace to my room and begin to take all I feel I will need. I turn to the stand and see a small red rock that Hewen found for me a when she was seven. I can't do this, I think to myself, I can't take anything from here that won't hurt my feelings back home.
Striding out of my room I walked past Hewen who looked like she wanted to say something. I didn't want to hear anymore.
-
It's been a year and I think Hewen is now fourteen, I try not to think of her because she takes away from the duties and I have taken up again. Father is happy I am back and so are my people. I have heard rumors and an undercurrent of news about the human that a certain Celorfiwyn found and I ignore it.
I pushed my feelings for Hewen far behind me. So I know I am slowly dying. No one can see it yet. I force myself to eat so I still look health. I run hard and fast to make sure I keep my muscles so I can look fit and wear baggy clothes to hide the fact I am fast thinning. No one knows.
One day a very old elf come in, maybe half the age of my father, and requested something. "My king. My son has picked his wife and I wanted to know if I may have to cottage out past the village so that him may live there." The woman said.
"My dear lady. I don't see why you think you deserve a house from the royal family..." My father says in a nice and questioning way. "Because, sir, I use to live there," Hewen said walking into the room through the open archway.
A hear a scream and I hear my father say, "Take the cottage woman! Just leave!" It's funny but I can't center on anything as the floor rushes up to me.
-
I try to open my eyes but I am so tired.
"Look! Your son is dying!" Someone says. I know it's a comer from the accent.
"Of what! He loves no one!" I hear my father hiss.
"Well, Anorexic people don't always love someone to do what they do. You need to talk to him about this... what ever is making him do this... if he keeps on he'll kill himself," says the doctor again.
"Get out. Please... I need to be alone with him." My father says kindly.
I feel a soft hand press against my face. "Wake up son. Open your eyes." My eyes open instantly and I see my father's worried face. "Tell me... is it that Hewen human that you've done this to yourself for. You fell out of your throne when she arrived." My father asks.
I look away, I can not tell him I love a human. He would go mad. But I can not lie to my father, "Yes."
My father looks almost hurt, "Then get up and go to her now... she's dying as well."
I jump out of bed, "What? Why?"
"She went hunting... her husband failed to train her properly, she fell off a mound of some sort, they say. She broke her back and is bleeding internally so one of the doctors informs me. There is nothing they can do." He sighs knowing what will happen.
-
"I'm sorry Hewen... Please forgive me." Celorfiwyn plead softly to his dying wife.
"NO! Not until you find me Legolas." Hewen winced. I hear all this from the front porch. It's strange how different it looks. More cluttered and used then my clean simple chair and stand. Everything from boots to bows lies on the front porch.
"Let me in." I say calmly and enough for Celorfiwyn to hear. He opens the door and before her can stop me I dash past him. In what use to be my room Hewen lays.
"Legolas! Oh Legolas! You came!" Hewen smiles softly. I look upon her and feel myself be crushed.
"Legolas. Say something." She asked tears starting to fill her eyes.
I shake my head and tears fall. "You hate me don't you?" She said her hands opening and closing. I take her hand in mind and shake my head again.
"Legolas... please... Legolas...." She starts to mutter her hands squeezing mine frantically.
I lean down and kiss her on the forehead; "You were the best daughter I had. I love you."
She starts to cry, "I love you too Daddy!" Her hand goes lax and I didn't shed a tear. I just climb into bed with her.
It reminds me of when she was six and thunder made her run into my bed and hold me tight. I hold her now begging for it to be okay. I know it will be soon. Valar will welcome me with open arms I think. Time slides by like it did before Hewen came... I feel her body turning cold under my hands and I hear Celorfiwyn somewhere off in the distance.
Night slips into Day and back again. I feel my arms grow tired and my eyelids fall. This time it is dare for so long I thought the sun had been eaten whole by the gods. Then she is there.
"I tried to keep my promise. I swear I did." I tell Hewen's mother.
"You did find Legolas. You did wonderful. She's been waiting for you. So have I. I want you to meet my husband. Would you like that?" She asks. I nod, I would like that very much.
