Worlds Apart
Chapter 17
I'm coming back for you
Haldir's POV
Helm's Deep. What an awful place!
I hate walls of stone.
The cold, gray vibes it gives off could drive me out of my mind if I stayed there for too long.
Elves were never meant to live in such an environment.
Aragorn was there, overjoyed to receive help from the elven kind.
Legolas was with him.
He seemed glad as well.
"Haldir! You're here." Legolas exclaimed, he didn't bother to hide his happiness.
I nodded.
"How have you been, my friend?" I asked him.
Legolas smiled.
"To be quite honest with you, I've missed every single day without Kylie. But the adventure here, its beyond what I have ever experienced before. But tell me, how is Kylie? And Branwen? Is she as beautiful as I last saw her?" He kept shooting questions at me as if he was shooting arrows.
"Kylie is doing very well and so is Branwen. She's looking so much like you now. Her eyes are exactly like yours... and yes, very beautiful. I swear she gets more and more beautiful each time I look at her."
Legolas smiled widely as if he had just heard the most comforting news ever. He closed his eyes and took a breath and as he let it go, I could almost see all his tiredness drain from his face.
When he opened his eyes, he gave me a hug and said to me, "Haldir, thank you so much. I am indebted to you."
I gave him a light pat on the back. "Legolas, you've been a great friend to me and I'd die for you, you know that. So why do you speak of what we owe each other? Because there is nothing for you to repay."
But there was something I had to repay.
And that was all the years I had spent with Kylie, I wish I could give them back to him.
I wish I didn't have to love Kylie because I feel guilty for doing so.
Legolas.
That elf would give up everything if I had asked it of him. I've known what sort of friend he is ever since we were elflings.
He would do anything for his friends.
There was long silence between the both of us. It wasn't the uncomfortable sort of silence. But we were appreciating the quietness and understanding that we had never shared for so long.
I had a troubling emotion within me. It had been there for quite a while and I had not any idea why.
It was, prehaps, a sign that something was about to happen to me? I wasn't sure.
I hesitated for a moment and then turned to Legolas.
Reaching around my neck, I pulled off a chain and a ring fell to the ground. We both bent over to pick it up but Legolas grabbed it first.
He stood up and eyed it closely between his fingers.
Then, he smiled.
I wonder what he was thinking of.
"I had to return it to you. It serves no significance to me." I said.
"I was... going to give it to Kylie when we were back at my world...for her birthday...and then at the right time, I wanted to ask her to marry me... but I didn't.." He whispered sadly.
"Why didn't you?"
I could not have thought of any reason why he wouldn't.
"I was going to make it special. I wanted to walk her to the beach after school and then propose there. But when I saw her from the window outside her classroom... she was happily talking to the boy next to her. And then I thought, why would she ever want to be with me? I'm no one. Just the boy next door who never grows up. And I wondered if she even loved me...if she ever would."
I didn't understand half of what he was saying but I knew what I had to say.
"Legolas... Kylie loves you so much that she's doesn't know what to do. She loves you so much that she's afraid she'll never see you again. And she loves you so much... it hurts her to look at Branwen because every part about that little girl has you. And I... will have no part of her heart because she loves only you. You're her soul mate... you've shared what was left of her horrible childhood... making it beautiful..which was why she couldn't forget you and your love for her... is just.."
I stopped for a moment when I remembered how I kissed Kylie that day and how she cried so much after that.
I feel so guilty.
I wished I hadn't forced myself on her, she would never love me.
"Your love for her is pure... and is innocent because you loved her when she was just a child. And nobody can replace you... and I will kill anybody who tries to...even if it be myself."
Legolas smiled at me.
"Thank you so much, Haldir. Thank you so much."
I wasn't sure if he was perspiring or if it was tears around his eyes.
But he was so happy.
He grabbed me and pulled me in a great big hug.
"Thank you." He repeated softly in my ear.
Legolas POV
Kylie, I'm coming back for you!
I'm coming home.
And you will know love like you've never known it before.
Author's POV
The rain poured over all of Helms Deep. It wasn't a heavy rain, in fact, it was graceful and possibly, beautiful if not for what was before the elves and men.
Orcs.
These deadly, filthy creatures were the despise of all elven kind and men alike.
Their ownly thoughts were to kill.
An arrow shot out from the walls of the good side. It signalled the start of a battle, its end, no one could tell when.
"Go for the kill, Legolas. " Haldir said with a smirk as he waited for an opportune moment for his arrow to be shot.
"I'll fight with you to the end, Haldir." Legolas told his friend.
"To the end!" Haldir shouted as he released his arrow and it soared through the dark night.
