I am very sorry that this chapter took so long to put up. I have been very busy at the moment and I apologise. I apologise especially to ~Amariel~ who has sent me many reviews pleading for this story to be updated. It is here now and sorry for the delay. Hope you like it and please don't forget to review. Thank you.

Back in the room Novavar was sat talking to Legolas. She was holding his hand in hers and talking of all the wonderful things they did in Mirkwood. She longed to be back there. Just the two of them, walking through the trees together.
Novavar had always had a deep love for Legolas. He was a few years older than she was. She loved the way he hunted with his carefree manner. He was never afraid and reassured anyone else when they were. She longed to be more than just friends with Legolas but had never spoken to anyone about this in case he heard and this ruined their friendship forever. Now she couldn't help but feel anything but love for him.
She was feeling confused. She loved him as a friend yet she also loved him beyond friendship and the thought of loosing him made her feel sick inside. She regretted not telling him about how she felt. It may ruin their friendship but she couldn't stand how it had all turned out. No one would ever know how she felt.
She had never spoken to him about it because she was sure he wouldn't feel the same. She was just an ordinary elf. He was a prince and perfect in everything he did. Why would he like her?
A single tear ran down her cheek and fell onto Legolas' head. She wiped it off and kissed him gently on the lips. She loved him so much.
*~*~*~*~*
Aragorn was having no luck in the library. He never realised there were so many different types of poison. He had learnt many new names in the last hour yet none of them were any use, as they didn't match Legolas symptoms. He was beginning to loose hope.
After several more books he walked down the corridor back to Legolas room. When he arrived he found Novavar in tears on the bed. His heart went out to her. He knew she had always felt deeply about Legolas. She didn't know he knew this.
Aragorn walked over to where she was sat. She stood up and they hugged each other. Novavar was sobbing and Aragorn also had tears running freely down his face.
"What are we going to do Aragorn?" Novavar sobbed.
"We'll be fine." Aragorn tried to sound confident. "Legolas will be ok. He's strong. He will get through this. Before you know it Legolas will be back to his old ways as if nothing had happened." Aragorn sounded much more confident than he felt.
"I hope you're right Aragorn." Novavar felt better after talking to Aragorn. They both sat down on the floor by the bed. They sat watching Legolas until it was late evening and one of Novavar's friends brought them their supper. After eating, they fell asleep together leaning against the bed.
*~*~*~*~*
Novavar was dreaming of Mirkwood. She and Legolas were eating their dinner sat at the base of one of the many trees. She was leaning back in his warm arms and they were watching the clouds go by together. He was cradling her in his arms and she felt so happy.
A pain suddenly woke her. She had been leaning against Aragorn and the corner of the bed, which wasn't a comfy position to be in. It had been Legolas she was dreaming of yet she had been in Aragorn's arms. She wished with all her heart that Legolas would be ok and he would get better. If he did then she was going to tell him how she felt. She had decided she would.
She stood up and picked a blanket up off the end of Legolas' bed. She wrapped it around Aragorn and then went to sit on the balcony of the room. She sat looking at the stars. Stars symbolised the soul and she wondered whether Legolas' soul would soon be up there with them.
She had to stop thinking like that. She would stay positive for Legolas' sake. If they were all strong for him it would help him through it. She would be strong.
Ok, so that was the fourth chapter. All those who have already reviewed I have thanked and I also thank anyone else who I have not mentioned (though I think I got everyone). Love you all and please keep reviewing, they make me very happy.
