Chapter 5, Farewell Again.
Legolas was walking in the gardens next morning, when Rinamarth rushed up to him. She linked her arm through his, and smiled at him. "Morning," she said brightly. He smiled. "Morning."
They walked along a while, then came to their spot. They sat down, and Rinamarth decided to start it. "Legolas, about the Fellowship…" she began, but he held up his hand to silence her. He went next to her, and slipped his arm round her shoulders.
"I'll be fine," he told her, almost as if he knew what she was going to say.
She sighed and leant against him. "I guess I'm just…scared about losing you. Again."
"You won't lose me. I'll always be with you after this war is over."
"Really?"
"Really, now stop worrying!" He kissed her. She smiled, and felt her heart rest again. They sat there in silence for a bit, then went back to the House. Legolas would be leaving in two months time, and Rinamarth wanted to spend as much of the time he had left with him as she could.
The two months flew by far too quickly for her. On the day of their leaving, her and Arwen felt each other's pain. Arwen would be missing Aragorn, and Rinamarth Legolas. Before he left, they had a private meeting by the river. She stood there, not knowing what to say. Her eyes filled with tears, and she had her hands on his waist, not wanting to let him go. "Be safe won't you."
He kissed her gently on her lips. She put her arms round his neck, and they stood in each other's arms, not wanting to release their grip. But very soon, too soon for Rinamarth, Legolas had to go. They had one, last, kiss, then let go.
She remembered that last moment as she stood beside her sister watching them stand before Elrond.
"The Ringbearer is setting out on the quest of Mount Doom. And you who travel with him, no oath nor bond is laid to go further than you will. Farewell. Hold to your purpose, and may the blessings of Elves, and Men, and all free folk, go with you."
He sent them his blessing. They returned it. Rinamarth heard hardly any of this. She glanced up at Legolas. He very slightly, bowed his head to her.
"The Fellowship awaits the Ringbearer," said Gandalf. Frodo turned, headed slowly out under the arch, and the others followed. As she saw Legolas disappear round the corner, she felt tears well up, but she was determined not to let them fall. He had one last look back, smiled, and left. Aragorn did the same to Arwen. As he too, disappeared, Rinamarth looked at her sister, and squeezed her hand. Arwen looked at her. "Why?" she whispered.
"Why what?"
"Why did we have to fall in love, with two members of the flippin' Fellowship?" Rinamarth smiled. "Typical us I suppose." Arwen smiled back. They felt their fathers' hand on their shoulders. "You two ok?" he asked.
"Fine father, don't worry," answered Arwen, wiping her eyes. He squeezed their shoulders gently, and walked back into the House. They stood there a while together, still holding hands, staring at the last place their loved ones had stood. Then slowly, they turned, and followed their father.
Please review, and read chapter 6. Please? ^_^
