Chapter 10

Forever Love

Idril and Elrohir quickly notched an arrow to their bows. Legolas unfortunately did not have his bow or a quiver of arrows. He still did have; however, the orc sword which was now covered in orc blood.

"Is there any other way out?" Legolas asked as he slashed at the orcs.

"There are tales of another exit, but I don't know where it is or if there even is another." Idril said as she fired an arrow.

"I think I might know where it is." Elrohir said as he too fired an arrow. "Follow me."

Elrohir shot of another arrow and ran into the tunnels of the cave. Idril and Legolas followed; Legolas was at rear. Elrohir led them to what seemed to be a dead end. It was dimly lit like the rest of the cave.

"I found this when I was looking for Legolas. The door was just closing when I had stepped inside. There has to be a rock to push or something." Elrohir said as he began looking around the room.

"We better find it fast." Idril said as she shot off an arrow.

"Idril, find out how to open the door. Elrohir and I will keep the orcs busy." Legolas said.

Idril nodded. She desperately searched the wall for any stone out of place. Suddenly she found one. She turned it to the left and watched as a door opened.

"Let's go." Idril shouted as she ran out the door.

Elrohir and Legolas followed closely behind. Legolas blinked at the daylight. He had not seen it for so long.

"Idril."

Idril turned to see Elrond and the others not too far away. She quickly notched an arrow to her bow and fired at the orcs. Suddenly arrows began flying from the other elves. In no time at all the orcs were killed. Through the whole battle, only three elves had been wounded, excluding Legolas. A few had scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. Elessar had been cut on the arm and hands were bloodied, but he was okay. No one had been killed.

Greetings were quickly exchanged. Legolas held Idril tightly in his arms. Idril starred into his beautiful blue eyes. Legolas rubbed the side of her face. "I love you, Idril. More than anything."

Idril smiled. "I love you too."

Silently the group began to walk back. The horses had run off some time ago, so the group had to walk the three-day journey back to Rivendell. They were all weary, but it did not matter now. They had found Legolas and killed the orcs.

Legolas was sore and weary most of all, but he did not care. He pulled Idril in closer to him and gently squeezed her hand. She smiled back at him.

Suddenly Idril tensed. She sensed something. She looked around. There on her left Retu, the same goblin that had killed her father, had an arrow pulled back to his bow. Before anyone else even noticed he let go. The arrow whizzed through the air and hit Idril in the chest.

All the elves quickly notched an arrow to their bows. They fired, but the orc had disappeared behind the trees. Elessar and Elladan ran to find him.

Legolas slowly lowered Idril down to the ground. She was gasping for air as she struggled to breathe. Legolas gently placed her head down on the ground. "Idril, Idril, can you hear me?"

Idril barely nodded.

Elrond rushed to her side. He looked at her wound. "I must remove the arrow." He announced. Looking down at Idril he said, "This is going to hurt, just hang in there."

Legolas was near tears as he gripped her hand. Idril cringed and hissed in pain as Elrond carefully removed the arrow. Then he carefully looked the wound over. He tore a piece of his clothing and placed it over the wound to try to stop the blood.

Legolas leaned in close to Idril. "You're going to be okay." He whispered.

Idril gripped his hand tightly. "I.I am sorry." She whispered.

Legolas smoothed her hair against her face in comfort. "Ssh, don't try to talk." Legolas looked up at Elrond. Tears were in the elf's eyes. "She's going to be okay, right?"

Elrond slowly shook his head. "The arrow was poisoned with some type of strong poison. It is even beyond my skill. There is nothing I can do." He replied sadly.

Tears began streaming down Legolas's face. "No, NO! There has to be something."

Elrond sadly shook his head as the tears began to fall.

At this time, Elessar and Elladan returned. Elladan was leading the goblin with a sword close to his neck. The goblin hands were bound behind him.

Idril saw the goblin. "He killed my father." She said struggling for breath.

Legolas turned his head and looked at the goblin.

"And now I've killed you." Hissed the goblin.

Elladan pulled his sword closer to the goblins neck making him struggle to breathe.

"Is there a cure for the poison?" Elrond asked knowing full well that the goblin would never tell.

"It's too late already. I have succeeded in killing her." The goblin hissed with glee.

Legolas looked back down at Idril. "Idril, you have to fight. Don't leave me, Idril. I need you."

Idril reached up with the last of her strength and touched Legolas's face. "Amin mella le." She barely whispered.

"You are forever my love, Idril. Forever my love." Legolas sobbed.

Idril smiled weakly. Then her hand went limp. She was dead.

Legolas cried in agony. "No."

The goblin behind Legolas laughed bitterly.

Legolas looked up at him with infuriating anger. He quickly stood up. He took the orc sword and thrust it into the goblin's body. Then he whipped the sword around and killed the orc. Elladan had wisely stepped back.

Elrond watched with tears streaming down his face. The other elves also had tears streaming their faces. No one wanted to believe she was dead. Elrond felt like he had lost his daughter. Elrohir and Elladan felt like they had lost a sister. The others felt like they had lost a close friend. They all wept bitterly, but it was Legolas who wept most off all. He had lost his only love.

Legolas dropped the sword and fell to his knees. He covered his face in his hands. Then looking up to the sky he said, "Never again will I love another like I loved Idril. Never again will anyone be worthy of that love. Never again. Closing his eyes he said, **Hiro he hîdh ab 'wanath. Then again, he wept.

A/N: *sniff* *sniff* I know it's really sad, but I hoped all of you enjoyed. It makes me cry too. Just to let you know '*Amin mella le' means 'I love you' and '**Hiro he hîdh ab 'wanath' means 'May she find peace after death'. It is a line from The Two Towers. Only I changed the 'they' to 'she'. Anyway, I hoped you all like it. Please review. If I get a lot of reviews I might even right another chapter about how Legolas copes with everything. But that's only if you all want it. So, let me know. If you don't want it than I won't write it. If you do, than please review and tell me. God Bless You All!
