Close your Eyes Chapter 20

Eowyn's heart was lost in sorrow. 'I am not loved… I don't deserve love.' She thought, "You are too hard on yourself." Eowyn was struck from her thoughts as Faramir spoke, "What…?" she asked in barely a whisper. "You cannot feel sorry for yourself forever; it will tear you apart inside." Eowyn breathed a shiver as Faramir traced the cloth over her wounds. It felt nice it reminded her of the way Theodred touched her. She held in her tears at the thought,

"I am sorry Eowyn…" Faramir said softly, the jagged wounds began to look less serious as the dark blood washed away. "I am as guilty as you are in this… if it were up to me I would have dismissed myself." Eowyn laughed lightly. "You are a gallant and courageous man Faramir… my uncle needs you here. You have proved to be a successful alley even though you are quite deceitful." Faramir rolled his eyes, "You're no better off than I am my lady." Eowyn laughed then, even though it pained her.

Faramir pushed the wash basin away. Eowyn closed her eyes as Faramir went over to a chest at the edge of the bed. Inside he found many women's garments. He pulled out a cream colored night dress. And handed it to Eowyn. "Thank you…" she sad quietly. "I suppose I will leave you now… if you need anything my door is open." Eowyn did not look back, "Thank you… but I think I will be fine." Faramir sighed, she may have been a woman but she did not take much help, as she may have needed it.

(The Next Morning)

The night had faded like a passing shadow over head. The grass was brushing lightly against Legolas' face. The sky was white, covered in clouds as far as forever.

It was like invisible sunlight invading his eyes as they fluttered open.

Legolas cringed as he slowly sat up, his body ached with pain. He remembered the spell that he had heard the night before. Deep in his death like sleep he had heard Haldir and Aragorn calling to him.

He wondered to himself about it. Though his wounds were gone he still felt the pain that had been done to him. The scars of battle and the tears inside his broken heart.

A mixed feeling he thought, Aragorn was still asleep next to him, and Haldir was on the other side.

Legolas sighed lightly as he rose from the middle. 'As if I am too fragile to leave alone.' He thought almost disgusted, at this thought though he stopped himself and felt a change inside him, yet still the pain of Aragorn's words filled his head he shook loose all the words that had ensnared him.

It was a grassy ditch in a valley they had stayed in, it was spread long back away from the trees. Legolas could feel the drop of a ridge aways above from them though.

He could hear the flowers whispering to each other, and he glared at them slightly.

The wind changed then turning the flowers away, like embarrassed children hiding from truths and confessions.

Legolas closed his eyes slightly, and shuffled his feet as he left the grounds the party was resting in. he was hurt, and he was angry.

'He came to save me…' Legolas wondered, as he stared back at the sleeping ranger.

Looking tired and distressed. 'I don't need that.' He thought. 'I wonder if I were to have died in that shallow prison if he would even know why I am hurting now… Can he not see my pain? Does he know not what he has done?' Legolas winced as the wind blew at him, rustling his hair over his eyes.

Sapphire orbs that glowed with emotion. He suddenly turned away from them then and began to walk, to where he was going he knew not. 'I can't do this…' Legolas thought, 'I can't stay with him now, he has hurt me so and he will never understand the way I feel…'
