chapter 9
Cry
"How is Lorien to your liking, Milady?" a maid elf as she asked the wife of the march warden in curiosity.
Kylie turned to face the she-elf, whose name was Gracia and opened her mouth to comment but was too stunned to say anything.
Lorien was as Haldir had described and even more.
'Beautiful,'she managed under her breath.
Gracia smiled as she placed a new set of bedsheets on their bed.
"May I ask, how long have you been wed to Master Haldir, Milady?"
Kylie was surprised by her question because noone had ever asked her that before.
Everyone in Rivendell knew they were married but she forgot that they were now in lorien and things were not the same anymore.
She let out a soft sigh at how many changes went through her life these short few years she had been in Middle-earth.
"Not very long. About 7 to 8 years..."she said, sounding as if she was going to continue but she didn't.
She realised that she had been married to Haldir longer than she had been with Legolas.
Atfer she had replaced the bedsheets, Gracia turned to leave but before she did, she joked," You have a very beautiful child, Milady. When she is old enough, many young elves will line up to have her hand. Beware."
Kylie laughed. It had been a while since she had heard anything amusing and was glad that Gracia was so talkative.
Kylie nodded.
"Thank you, Gracia. For everything."she said weakly.
"If you need anything, Milady, don't hesitate to look for me. And take good care of Master Haldir, you're fortunate to have him."Gracia added before she left the flet.
Haldir kneeled down in front of his mother and father's graves and placed an iris before them.
It had been so long. So very long.
"I want to tell you so many things. And I know you can't answer me but I know you're there. So I'll just talk and you can...listen."he whispered.
But bfeore he could continue, he broke into tears and he was glad he was hidden in the darkness of the night when noone could see him.
"What troubles you so?"
Haldir didn't even turn to look at who it was, he already knew.
"You know what troubles me. Or I wouldn't be here."he said softly but firmly.
Galadriel gave a slight nod.
"But what you are here for is hardly as important as what you have to say. What has been troubling you heart since the day..."
She paused for a moment and waited until Haldir looked up at her.
"Since the day Branwen was born."
"And what is that?"
"You fear the prince will return. And when he came back that day, to see his daughter, you prayed that he wouldn't decide that he wanted his child back...and further more..."
"Further more?" Haldir asked, starting to feel aggitated.
"The human girl...You feared he might take her away from you."
Haldir was not ready to listen.
He did not want to listen.
The more she went on, the more he felt he had betrayed Legolas although, he knew she was right. He didn't want Legolas to come back.
"And the child senses something is going on but she has yet to find out."
Galadriel said nothing more and Haldir was thankful.
If she did, he thought he would go crazy.
He didn't stay there very long before he retired for the night.
When he went back to the flet, Branwen was already asleep in her room but Kylie was awake and was reading a book in bed.
They didn't say anything to each other so Haldir removed a clean white shirt from the wardrobe and grabbed the other pillow on the bed and left their room.
When he left, Kylie remembered what Gracia had said.
'Take good care of Master Haldir, you are very fortunate to have him.'
She immediately got up from the bed and went out into the living room where Haldir was.
And she caught him just as he removed his shirt, revealing his pale, muscular body.
They both blushed and she looked down awkwardly.
Haldir quickly pulled over the clean one and stammered.
"Uhh.. do you need something?"
Kylie looked at him and decided against inviting him to sleep in the bed with her that night.
"Well, ummm, no...sorry."she said and was about to return to the room when he grabbed her hand.
She turned and stared at him in shock and before she could say anything, he pushed her against the wall and kissed her.
She found herself kissing him back.
When they finally stopped and Haldir was going to kiss her again but she moved away.
"No..no..Oh God... I'm so sorry.... but I can't. I just can't. Legolas... I love Legolas..."she cried softly as she started to tear.
Haldir realized what her had done and he began to shake.
"No. I'm the one who should apologize... I'm sorry, Kylie."He said softly.
And he left the flet without another word.
"Oh God...oh God..."Kylie sobbed as she began to slide her back down the wall.
And she cried.
And cried.
Aurora:Okay that was like super duper major mush... am feeling so 'I'd do anything for you'-ish....watched Oliver the musical last night..sigh...anyways, my sincere apologies for not submiting the new chapter sooner. Was really caught up with umm (hangs her head down in shame)... partying and well, this really good book by Jeffrey Archer ^the fourth estate^... was real brilliant.
Anyhow,
To all you reviewers: Thanks so much, wouldn't have continued without you guys..!!! really makes my day ya'know!!!
