The song in this chapter is 'Without You' by 3 Doors Down.

Chapter 39

~A hundred days have made me older,~

~Since the last time that I saw your pretty face.~

Legolas searched the entire room. He couldn't find the white dress anywhere. She must've left.

Picking up a fallen sword, he ran towards the closed door.

~A thousand lights have made me colder,~

~And I don't that I can look at this the same.~

The trees outside were all perfectly frosted with white ice. He could see Elenest's like tracks in the snow on the path that led towards the courtyard.

He followed closely and carefully, thinking about the fate that was ahead of him.

~But all the miles have separated,~

~They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face.~

Killing Elenest.

In the very end, he'd never have thought it would have come to this.

~I'm here without you baby,~

~But you're still on my lonely mind.~

She was close. Just around this stone archway.

A thin cloud of fog appeared in front of Legolas's mouth whenever he had exhaled.

~I think about you baby,~

~And I dream about you all the time.~

He looked up at the great palace through the treetops. The palace was nothing but a great oak tree with long thick branches stretching to the sky with spots of light from the windows.

~I'm here without you baby,~

~But you're still with me in my dreams.~

Legolas's gaze looked away, at Elenest in front if him.

~And tonight,~

~It's only you and me.~

'Why?' Legolas asked simply, holding his sword at ready.

'To take a kingdom that had to potential to be more powerful than any other!'

~The miles just keep rolling,~

~As the people lead the way to say hello.~

Legolas decided he couldn't waste any time. He stabbed, she dodged. He could hear the clash of battle in the throne room.

~I hear this life is overrated,~

~But I hope it gets better as we go.~

'You're not on my side. You never were.' Legolas stabbed again.

'Neither were you!' laughed Elenest as she dodged.

The knife plunged into her back.

Legolas entered the throne room, feeling very tired. He noticed a servant still dusting the great chair at the end of the hall. He looked up at the ceiling.

He was home.

He never wanted to leave again.

~Everything I know and Everywhere I go,~

~It gets hard but it won't take away my love.~

'Legolas?' Legolas turned around to see his father. He offered a weak smile. 'You all right?'

'Yeah, uh... just, upset... a little.'

'I understand.' Thranduil nodded.

~When the last one falls, when all is said and done,~

~It gets hard but it won't take away my love.~

'I set it down at the end of the courtyard.' he said slowly. 'Are you going to go see it?'

'Yeah... in a minute.' Legolas's mind began to stray to thoughts of the past.

~I'm here without you baby,~

~But you're still on my lonely mind.~

~I think about you baby,~

~And I dream about you all the time.~

~I'm here without you baby,~

~But you're still with me in my dreams.~

~And tonight,~

~It's only you and me.~

Elenest was gone. A new life was beginning for him.

~I'm here without you baby,~

~But you're still on my lonely mind.~

~I think about you baby,~

~And I dream about you all the time.~

He headed out to the courtyard. He saw the stone at the end of the path.

~I'm here without you baby,~

He approached it slowly, not wanting to read the letters that were printed on it, both in elven and the common tongue.

~But you're still with me in my dreams.~

~And tonight,~

He kneeled, running his fingers over the engravings of the smooth stone.

~It's only you and me.~

It read: 'May the soul of one Redd rest in peace deserving of his fortitude and undying companionship.'

DONE! ALL GONE! :.( I'm sorry so many people died in this fic! Really I am!

Just below are some stats & stuff that I think is useful for this fic. Y'know, all that inspiration and stuff along with a track list for all the songs I used.

TRACK LIST:

FAITH HILL – There You'll Be ALABAMA – Angels Among Us RYAN MALCOLM – Something More VERTICAL HORIZON – You're a God SALIVA – Rest in Pieces EVE 6 – Here's to the Night FINGER ELEVEN – One Thing CRUSH – King for a Day FORTY FOOT ECHO – Save Me EVANESCENCE – Bring Me To Life FIVE FOR FIGHTING – Superman MIDNIGHT SONS – If Only Tears Could Bring You Back to Me 3 DOORS DOWN – Without You

OTHER STUFF:

I suppose this fic just came to me one night. There was a whole lot of stuff I wanted to do with it, like some Queen songs and a lot of different friends, but I thought it was long enough! I'm glad it was like 13 books and the actual story was over 100 pages long! That really boosts my confidence level since I've never written anything that long and I've always wanted to!

I never really had a moral for this story, but I think it even taught me a lot about all sorts of things: bravery, wisdom and, of course, the annual in-depth description!

ANYWAY! back to the CALGARY vs. VANCOUVER Stanley Cup playoffs! GO FLAMES GO!

*whew*! can't believe I'm done!
