**Disclaimer: I only own Zana. All the paragraphs that look like songs are
not mine, because they belong to their singers. I just didn't want to spoil
the story including all the "By.." , that would make everything confusing.
Ok, the names of the songs and the singers:
Iris, by Goo Goo Dolls
My only love, by Jennifer Love Hewitt
Don't cry, by Guns'n Roses
At the beginning, by Richard Marx
Think twice, by Celine Dion
Nothing at all, by Sailor Moon (?)
La noche llegó, by Natalia ( "The night has come")(Great one, download it!)
Thank you very much for all your reviews and suggestions! Here I included some of the songs that Merina suggested (thanks!( ) If you download the songs and listen to them in the same order, you'll be able to join Zana in the party, or at least in the back sound of the party (
As you can see, I already returned from the university, great days there! But now I have to move this story a bit! Again, thanks for supporting it!
***********************************************************
And it feels now
just like heavens coming down
your soul, shakes free
as its conscience hits the ground
these times,this fate,
takes a path you didn't choose
stay strong, keep faith
there's a change that's
coming through
- Heaven coming down- The tea party
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Flashback.. two hours before the party.
Aragorn became inpatient, sighing and moving his hands. The two hobbits sat on the grass, looking at each other. Legolas and the king , full of curiosity, followed the ranger with their gaze.
"Where is Haldir? I can't wait more, we must leave now and he's delaying my journey"
"I'll go with you, we'll check if he's in his room" Legolas offered , running after the human who went upstairs so fast. As they were walking in the corridors, Aragorn calmed a bit, becoming a bit worried.
"Something is wrong with Haldir, I can't recognise the elf I met years ago.. "Aragorn whispered to himself, although Legolas heard him. He had his own theory about that change in the elf of Lorien but he opted for shutting up.
Finally they arrived and knocked on Haldir's door.
"Yes?" A strong voice replied. Legolas opened and they entered the room. Haldir was sitting on his bed, his bag on the ground, his gaze lost somewhere.
"What the hell are you doing? We've been waiting for you more than fifteen minutes!" Aragorn tried to calm down, but he wasn't able, he was walking up and down along the room.
"Haldir, what's wrong?" Legolas looked at him and he saw an unknown Haldir, a new confused elf. Aragorn had also noticed the big change because he stopped to stare at him.
"I'm sorry, Aragorn, but I'm not leaving with you" Haldir finally spoke, and his two friends watched at him in surprise.
"You can't be serious.. are you kidding me? Why, then , did you keep all of us waiting for you?! " Aragorn was becoming mad, obviously he missed Arwen more than the elves had expected. Legolas put a hand over his shoulder with a warning look.
"Aragorn, let me speak with Haldir . You can leave now, I'll be there soon and finally you'll be able to start your journey" The human nodded and gave a last look to Haldir.
"Take care, my friend.. and visit me in Gondor whenever you'll want" And with those words he left the room. Once he closed the door, Haldir stood up, unpacking his bag. Legolas walked towards the balcony and looked up at the moon.
" I had a theory about you, Haldir, but I wasn't sure yet.. now I'm convinced that you will stay here because of something I could never had imagined before". Haldir looked at him and smiled sadly.
"You don't know anything about this, Legolas. You think I'm staying here because of Zana.. but you're completely wrong"
"Why, then, did you decide to stay?" Legolas looked a bit angry, and this made him confused.. why was he angry?
"Gandalf asked me to stay, he believes that I have a mission here, like all of you, and if I left, things could turn into something more complicated"
"But.. why did you keep the mystery? Why didn't you tell all of us that you were just following Gandalf's petition?
Haldir didn't reply, and his friend smiled, moving his head.
"No, Haldir. I don't think this is the only reason that keeps you here. But I won't insist more. Aragorn is in a hurry and I must say good bye to him"
He gave a cold gaze to Haldir and left. Haldir finished unpacking his things and then went for a walk in the gardens. As soon as he started walking, he could hear Galadriel's voice.
"Thank you, Haldir, for following your heart" He stopped, confused.
"Galadriel?" he whispered, and looked at the necklace that was given to all the Lorien soldiers. It was shining. Like the candles in the main building..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Return to the party..
[1- And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight..]
I couldn't believe that. We were standing, facing each other, and after some seconds, Haldir broke the eye contact. And that song.. that song in that moment.. why? Of course, to make me even more embarrassed. He took a deep breath and stared at me again, and I was still in the same position, glass in hand, unable to move.
"So.. do you like the elfish wine?" He asked with a smile.
"What?" I was confused, that elf was crazy! All time thinking he had gone, and he appeared all from the sudden ..and asked about drinks?? I looked at my glass.
"This is juice" I almost couldn't speak with loud voice, so shocked I was..
"And now you want me to believe that you didn't drink wine?" he went on smiling.
"Maybe I drank too much.." I touched my head with my hand and then finally reacted.
" I don't understand anything, Haldir"
[2-You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I've known it from the start
My only love]
Great.. and now that song.. He walked towards me, slowly, looking directly at my eyes.
"What is what you don't understand? Why I decided to stay? " He was too close again, and I was too nervous. I just nodded in reply. "But this was what you wanted, right? " His smile always there, making me feel embarrassed.
"I have to go " I murmured , giving a step away. But he held my arm, and I had to turn around to face him again. "Please, Haldir.. don't make any ironic remark, any stupid comment about that conversation we had some time ago. I don't know what did I say that.." I stopped talking, he had a very strange look.
"Just dance with me ,please"
[3-I know how you feel inside
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And you don't know]
But he slowly took my hand and led me to the dancing floor, where he put his arms around my waist and we started to dance.. that wine, that wine.. what was I doing? I should be shouting, angry, asking for explanations, asking "why are you playing with me like this?" But I was there, silent.
[4- We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you]
In that moment something forced me to look on my left, slowly.. Legolas was standing there.. all the magic of the moment with Haldir was gone.. because I saw Legolas gaze and I felt something strange inside me.. he had a look that.. no, it was impossible.. I was stopped and Haldir looked at me, then at Legolas. And he got separated from me.
"Hello, Legolas.. let me try the wine of Mirkwood" he said, with a kind of happy voice. I was shocked.. maybe Haldir was playing with me.. if not, why that sudden change? What did break the dance? Why that sudden change of mood?
[5-Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice ]
That night was too much for me. I felt stupid, I felt.. I didn't know how I felt, actually, with Legolas there, looking at me.. and Haldir, all from the sudden, ignoring me.. so I exploded.. yes, when you were bearing a situation too much, and although you're a shy girl who fears to face anybody.. yes, we all have our limits and I had reached it.
"Ok, don't move, Haldir!" I shouted. He looked back in surprise. Also Legolas eyes stared at me, astonished. "I'm so tired of this game, Haldir.. you treat me bad, you treat me well.. you leave, you don't leave.. you begin a conversation with me and then leave me in the middle of the dance floor.. " Haldir looked so ashamed, and opened his mouth to say something, but Legolas spoke first.
[6- When you have nothing at all
You'll still have nothing to worry about
Oh no...when you have nothing at all
You'll still have nothing to worry about]
"She's right. Haldir.. what's happening to you? I'm worried, Gandalf should know about all those sudden changes on you, this can't mean anything good.. maybe those events that are supposed to happen have something to see with this.. " Legolas and Haldir looked at each others. But I wasn't in the mood to talk.. somehow too drunk to hear stupid theories.
"You know what?" I was talking to both of them. "I already lived too many stressing events for the past 3 days, and now I explode, yeas.. whatever is happening tonight, I don't care, I don't understand any of you, and.." I didn't find the proper words and I left the place. And of course, the two elves in a deep confusion.
[7- La noche llego
y retuvo del sol,
el aire de fuego,
calor y pasión.
La noche llego
y la luna embrujo,
la màgica danza,
que nos envolvió.
Y con este ritmo
la noche llego.]
