Close your Eyes Chapter 13
The day had left in such a short and simple time, though what had gone about inside it made everyone uncomfortable. The sky was a light crisp colored orange. The gentle wind blew the leaves of the trees, spinning them back and around like twirling green diamonds.
Haldir stood a ways away from the other elves. "Haldir… Sir? Are we departing for Lothlorien?" one of them asked,
Haldir did not move his eyes were fixed on Legolas who was slowly making his way into the stable. "Yes… Yes we are leaving soon."
Legolas dropped his bag down next to the gate, he took hold of a saddle that was settled on the fence, and pulled it down to position it on his steed.
He wondered what was going to happen now, 'Aragorn and I are no more… I will never love again… never again…' Legolas sighed inside, he felt like he were sick almost.
A cold sweat shook him but he did not let it show. Gandalf had been following close behind a disgruntled dwarf that ran into the stable.
Gimli stood stalk still as he entered the stable.
Legolas was saddling his horse the other elves had walked so they were waiting outside, the dwarf looked up at his fair friend, his face was pale… whiter than usual.
Perhaps it was the shock of all that had happened. Gimli thought so; his fair friend had not even washed the shield maiden's blood away. Gimli sighed and bravely approached Legolas who did not look at him.
"Legolas why are you leaving so soon?" he asked in a confused tone, Gandalf came out from around the corner he had not wanted to see Legolas leave, no one did he shouldn't have had to leave in the first place.
But men are stubborn creatures and would take their time on realizing their own faults
"It is not his choice Gimli, King Theoden has ordered the elves to move on." Gimli looked at Gandalf with wild eyes.
"But Legolas came with us! He should not be forced out like a criminal!"
Legolas stared blankly at the horse's saddle, these words hurt him but he tried to keep his sad eyes away from their piercing stares. Gandalf had tried to look supportive then.
"This is not our keep, Master dwarf. We have no say." Gimli walked over to Legolas and took hold of his arm,
"Then I shall go with you." Legolas smiled then turning to look at Gimli,
"No Gimli, you must not trouble yourself with my own happiness."
Gimli's eyes were sad as he held his grip.
"Elf I would never say this but, I would miss you if you left." Legolas knelt down to meet Gimli's gaze.
"I would miss you too my friend." Gimli pulled Legolas down and hugged him, Legolas laughed lightly.
"Gimli it's not as if you will never see me again." Gimli let go of Legolas brushing himself off and trying to look more formidable.
"You will see me again some day my friend." Gimli nodded, but turned away a bit to hide his eyes Legolas laughed.
"Do not cry for me master dwarf, a warrior should never let people see his vulnerable side." Gimli nodded once again whipping his eyes on his arm then turning to put his hands on his hips. Gandalf smiled at Legolas,
"You are taking this quite well Legolas." Legolas looked at the floor, he held a sweet small smile as he turned back to his horse,
"The time of the elves has come to an end I fear."
Gandalf did not move these words were true in their sense but not the way Legolas was saying them,
"Our fellowship has broken, and Frodo must endure things alone. I fear my usefulness is out lived."
Gandalf shook his head in protest walking a ways over to the saddened elf.
"That is not true Legolas." Legolas smiled, shaking his head.
"Do not fret over me Gandalf; I have an eternity to come to terms with myself."
Gandalf looked into Legolas' sapphire eyes even though the elf tried his best not to look at him.
"Do you welcome an eternity of loneliness as well?" Legolas turned away.
"Do not speak of things you do not know of." He said with force in his voice. But he knew Gandalf was right
(Soon)
Legolas slowly led his horse out of the stable, he was surprised to see so many people standing outside.
Theoden stood up on the walls.
Faramir was standing out front by the walls great hole.
Many children and their mothers were standing there too.
Legolas tried not to notice their eyes.
He noted that Aragorn had not come to see him off.
Perhaps he didn't know he was leaving. Haldir hadn't told him.
Gandalf patted Legolas on the shoulder. "Good journeys to you." He said, Legolas smiled.
He looked hurt; he still wore his bloodied, tattered tunic. And the blood on his face was a dried dark red.
Eowyn stared out from one of the towers. She stared down at Legolas with satisfaction on her face.
Legolas pulled himself up on the horse. He strode slowly after Haldir and the other elves that began to leave. "Goodbye Legolas!" Gimli yelled, Gandalf rolled his eyes. Of course they could not let him go in silence.
Aragorn had been searching the halls, he could not find Legolas.
He had wondered if he had gone somewhere. Eowyn stood in front of the window she turned and looked at Aragorn.
"My lord what troubles you?" she asked in a sweet tone,
"Where is Legolas Eowyn?" he asked, Eowyn's eyes clouded over.
"He is nothing Aragorn! Why must you still think of him? He has done no good for you!" Aragorn looked at Eowyn. "Legolas didn't try to hurt you did he?" Eowyn's face hardened, "You did it to yourself. Didn't you?" Eowyn smirked, "I don't know what you're talking about." Aragorn growled and kept searching.
Eowyn's smile widened as she watched the elves traveling away in the distance. She turned as Faramir had come up to her.
"Why didn't you go after your precious elf?" Eowyn asked sarcastically. Faramir took hold of Eowyn's wrists, "What were you thinking you stupid girl?" Eowyn tried to pull away.
"Let go of me Faramir!" she said sternly.
"I will not! You are a selfish girl!" he said, Eowyn began to laugh; it was strange and sounded insane.
"You silly man, I will never do it the way you want it to be done!" Faramir stared at her,
"I told you I would do it myself. I don't need your help." Faramir pushed Eowyn against the window. Eowyn laughed, her hand had begun to bleed again.
"Aragorn will love me Faramir." Faramir shook his head,
"No Eowyn he will never love you." Eowyn looked at him,
"What do you know about it? Nothing!" she yelled at him. She had not changed either her white dress had blood spilt all over it.
"You couldn't get Legolas for yourself so now it's my fault is it?" Faramir glared at her.
"You stupid girl, don't you realize what you've done?" Eowyn rolled her head on her shoulders,
"No Faramir please tell me because I am just dying to know!" Faramir looked at Eowyn.
"You've killed Legolas; his heart will shatter from the pain you have caused him! Don't you even care about the way he feels?" Eowyn laughed,
"Oh I'm supposed to care now? You didn't. Not when you told me the things you were thinking. You wanted to pull them apart as much as I did. But you were weak!" Faramir slapped Eowyn who fell against the wall.
"I was misguided Eowyn, your just crazy is what you are! Aragorn will never love you!" Eowyn laughed against the wall,
"Aragorn and I will have something deeper than you can ever imagine." She said angrily,
"No your wrong, your in denial Eowyn. Aragorn will go after Legolas." Eowyn looked up at Faramir,
"No he won't it is too late the elves have already left." Faramir pulled Eowyn up to face him,
"You will tell him where they went then." Eowyn's eyes were angry.
"I will not!" she yelled.
"Oh I believe you will lady Eowyn." Eowyn looked to where the voice had come from.
Gandalf stood around the corner.
"You will tell Aragorn everything, or we shall have to talk with the king. And I don't believe you'd want to be punished from him for his."
