Shadow in the dark

Darien POV

"Child's face well painted

Smile like warm summer

Heart tattered and tainted

Pain under a black cover

Cries unheard and concealed

Decisions decided

Fresh sores so unhealed

Agony abided"

I looked at my song and then chewed on my pencil for a long time. I looked outside and it was really dark, though because of the streetlight I could see a tall figure walking on the street and he turned in to Emma's house. I stared carefully and the figure seemed to feel my eyes on him, cause he looked from one side to another. When he looked towards me I ducked under the window. As I hid out of his sight, I thought about that face which seemed too familiar. Then I remembered! LEGOLAS!

I peeked through the window again and saw that he had looked away now. He set a ladder against Emma's window and I could see her lean out of the window and talk to him, this huge grin on her face. Sickening. Plain sickening!

He smiles and talked back to her and then crawled up the ladder and into his room. The lights went off in her room and they shut the window. Why couldn't she at least live a little far away and not across the street so I wouldn't have to be reminded how I'd lost her! Why was everything going so wrong?

"WHY?!" I mutter to myself. "Does God hate me?" With that I just curl up in my bed and try to sleep, though tons of thoughts were going through my head.



No one's POV [Somewhere in Gondor, 3:00 am]

"I don't know what's wrong with you Arleen!" Anwell Carver, in the drivers seat took a quick turn, which made his daughter's stomach turn. Her father continued "You have done nothing this whole summer except stay at our pool and come to the studio with me, even when I woke late! You've had no one over all summer and you haven't made an effort to be friends with the Loofers!"

"Dad, the Loofers' kids are the most immature elves ever! Just because they are your boss's kids, doesn't mean I want to be friends with them!"

Her dad scowled. "You need to make some sort of friends, not sit around and try to bother Lila Knolls." Lila was Arleen's favorite music artist and whenever she came to sing in bigphat studio, Arleen would try and talk to her a bit.

"I don't think I bother her! She said I was really nice!" Arleen hissed. "Dad, I'm sorry no one likes me! What can I do about it?"

"They're intimidated by you cause you're so beautiful," her dad said. "You have to get over being so shy with people and make an effort to talk to people."

She shook her head. "All I know is that for some reason I was born really shy and because of it, no one wants to talk to me. Maybe because mom was like that way."

"And mom had no friends, really," Dad pointed out.

"Dad, I can't change it! No one seems to understand me. Maybe if I wasn't home schooled, I'd have other choices as friends then Jem Loofers!" Her dad tried to argue, but Arleen whispered, "I don't want to talk about my horrible friendless life. I just want you to try not to interfere."



Emma's POV

Legolas crept into my room and we snuggled together on my bed. I took in everything about him: his soft lips, his big icy eyes, and soft skin.

"Shall we continue where we left off?" he asks with a grin, leaning over me.

I nod. "Yea, but lets take it slow...you know you're my first."

"And you're mine," he says. He starts to unbutton my pajama shirt slowly from top to bottom. He gradually pulls it away from me while kissing down from my chest to my stomach.

Between kisses he whispers, "You're...perfect."

I take his shirt off really quickly. "What happened to slowly?" he asks.

"Screw slow," I say. "I want to see you naked."

He laughs and helps me take off his shirt. It's obvious he's worked out a lot extra this summer, because his stomach his harder and more muscular than ever. I shiver by just looking at his chest and that's not even the best part!

He starts pulling down my pajama pants and I pull down his jeans and boxers. Screw every guy in the world; Legolas had the body of a perfect sex god! He looked at me down to up, till finally he looked at me straight in the eyes. "Wow, you're so beautiful."

"And so are you," I answer.

"Now, I'm sure I want to do this, but just making sure cause I really don't want to pressure you into anything..."

"Oh, trust me, I've wanted this for a long time from you."

He grins and nods, reminding me of a cute surfer dude, "All right!" I spread my legs and he lays right on top of me. He thrusts himself into me slowly and carefully. I try not to giggle like an idiot or scream, but I really feel like doing both. I can't believe he's never done this before, because he's gentle with me, but making it feel really good at the same time. Once he'd fully got his huge, ahem, dick in me, we start moving in unison.

"I love you, Em," he says slowly. "And not just now, I always have."



The second I wakeup, I freak. "Legolas, you have to go! The sun is rising and you must go back tote palace!" I say, pushing his arm off of my chest.

Legolas jumps up and crawls out of the bed naked. He really quickly gets his clothes on and his shirt is buttoned wrong, but he just hurries down the ladder anyways. "Arwen, Aragorn, and me are going to the fair tonight! Will you come?"

"Yea! I didn't plan on even going this year, but I'll go with you!"

He smiles. "All right, I'll call you later! See you tonight!" He puts the ladder back in the garage and then takes off.



Darien POV

The phone rang and I answered it. "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Darien?" said a male voice.

"Yes, it is."

"This is Anwell Carver from the bigphat studio over in Gondor. Um, we need you to start a little sooner, if it's convenient. I've just recently seen the tape of you in the studio few weeks ago and I'm sorry I missed meeting you! I'd like you to start sooner than two weeks, if that is okay..."

I really had nothing left here that I wanted or would miss. I wanted to leave Rivendell as soon as possible plus my mother said she was fine and that I could leave and follow my dream when I wanted. "I will come as soon as you want me," I finally say. "When do you need me?"

"A week from today. I would like to meet you at the studio at seven o' clock," he says.

"At night?" I ask hopefully.

"Nope, in the morning," he says.

I bite my lip for a moment. "All right, I'll be there. Thank you, sir."

"Please, call me Anwell. See you soon, Darien. Bye."

"Bye," I answer and hang up. Well at least I was finally going, though I would have lots of packing to do. My aunt Luce lived about half and hour away from the studio and I already had plans to stay with her. I just hoped she wouldn't mind me coming early.

I then paused. How was I gonna tell Emma I was leaving? I then remembered Legolas sneaking in her room last night. Yea, she probably wouldn't care very much. Sure, she'd miss me, I guess, but it wasn't like she was gonna lose any sleep over me.

That's it! I was going.



I know, the sex scene totally sucked and I'm sorry. I haven't done a sex scene in a fic for like a year! Lol. Sorry again...
