Legolas tried desperately to hold on to his sanity as he watched Hewen lay motion less in bed. "Why are you doing this! You Comer Doctors can save her! Don't leave her there to die!" He shouted angrily.

Tinondel took one look at Legolas and frowned, "Detain him. He'll get in the way once her Dead Wound opens up."

One of the Comer Doctors looked up in shock, "She has a Dead Wound? How?!"

Legolas paused feeling this was a moment he had to imprint into his memory to ask about later. Tinondel look at him off handedly, "The Laws of the Dead were broken."

"Alright. I hope she's made a choice because we're bringing her back." A female Comer Doctor said.

Legolas saw the little spot of red on her shoulder. He recognized it as the scar he had seen. Hewen said she couldn't remember where she had gotten it.

"So that's what happened?" Hewen asked calmly.

Legolas nodded, "Yes, that is all I can remember they tell me I went into shock after that. I'm just glad you're okay."

She smiled faintly. He held back the frown of seeing her like that. She lay in her bed with different sheets. The ones with blood having been carried off. She looked up at him with weak eyes and pale skin.

"I didn't think it through did I?" She asked quietly reaching out to him.

He took her hand in his scare of how fragile it felt. "You didn't have time. You weren't told. You didn't know. It's not your fault."

She nodded licking her cracked lips. "Legolas... tell me you love me." She whispered blushing faintly.

"Why?" He questioned feeling his heart crack. How could you state this to him now after all she had done to him?

"Because no one does and I hoped you did!" She sobbed. Legolas instantly gathered her up into his arms. He heart was still pieces on the floor but something was different know.

Maybe it was the knowledge that she needed as she had when she was child. That there was space in her heart enough for him.

He looked at her pale face and dull hair. She looked at him with her icy gray eyes and lost it.

"I don't know what you are anymore. I don't care though. You were always my ward and I always loved you even if it wasn't fair and if you die on me now I'll never forgive you." He said calmly holding her face between his hands.

She looked up at him with her big sweet eyes and smiled for the first time since she had been sick. She had truly smiled and truly meant it and Legolas nearly melted with the idea that it had been his doing.

He leaned in to kiss her cheer but he stopped feeling that it wasn't right. Instead to looked her straight in the eyes and touched his lips to hers.

"Legolas." She whispered.

"What?" He questioned pulling away in a daze.

"Tell me when I wake up."
