More Than a Dream
Disclaimer: Still do not own LOTR... Won't ever either.
A/N: Okay, I decided that when there is dreaming, it will also be in italic print. So, it won't look so confusing... Thanks to everyone who reviewed also. I hope this is turning out better than what I think. ^-^! Oh, and before I forget. Elvish words will also be italic.
Chapter 2: Confessions and Dreams (~~) Mean's dreaming.
A stream of light leaked into a forest green room, waking the sleeping elf. His blue eyes scanned the room before he decided to sit up. He felt exausted, having lost more sleep throughout the long night. Not one star was out to comfort him. And these dreams began to etch themselves into his mind. Like a chizel to stone. Slowly, they were becoming his only thought.
The Mirkwood prince climbed out of bed, and gracefully walked over to the extra room that his human friend, currently occupied. The man was noticeably tired the night before. That would explain why he still slept soundly. With a grin, he decided it was time to wake, and have breakfast.
Legolas gave a sharp kncok, and called into the room. "Estel, we have much to catch up on. Rise, and join me for breakfast." A smirk still played across his lips.
His elevn hearing caught the man mumbleing about getting up too early. Which indeed was strange for the man. But Legolas missed his long time friend, and wanted terribly to hear what he has been up to. With a small laugh, the elf walked away.
*~*~*~*
Minutes later Legolas sat at a wooden table, and Aragorn was just making his appearance. A playful glare was aimed directly at the elf.
"You do know you woke me, don't you?" The ranger asked, sitting across from his friend.
Legolas laughed softly. "Goheno nin, mellon. Losto vae?" He asked in his own tongue.
Aragorn just shook his head. A smile played on his lips. "I slept soundly, untill you demanded I wake." The ranger then folded his hands on the table. "Tell me, how have you been?"
"I am well, Estel. I wonder the same from you." Legolas said with a firm smile on his face. However the dream was still haunting him. "Have you any adventures?" The elf asked, seeing the man shake his head.
"Not since our last one. I am worried though. You do not seem yourself this time around." Estel leaned back and studied the elf's face.
Legolas shook his head, a soft sigh escaped his lips. His friend knew him to well. "Correct. There has been something haunting me. Though I do not feel this is the time to speak of such things." The elf looked up to see Aragorn sigh heavily and lean forward again. The man wanted to know.
"Legolas...there are things you do not know about your...past." Aragorn spoke and looked directly at his friend. "I will not speak of them, for it is not my right. By say of your father and Lord Elrond. Please, tell me what has been haunting you. What shadow looms over your light spirit?"
The elf opened his mouth to speak, though nothing came out. He was so stubborn when it came to admitting weakness. "Estel, this is really not the time..." He followed Aragorn with his eyes as he jumped up and paced the room.
"Then when is the right time, Legolas?" He asked a little sharper than he intended. The man hadn't wanted to come across aggressive. But he was sure his friend would understand his concern. "I believe this is as good a time as ever." He said softer this time. Worry for his friend shown in his eyes.
Legolas looked down and studied his long fingers. "Dreams have been haunting my sleep. They are so real." He looked up at his friend. "Every night they occur. And something horrific happens more often. I am afraid they will eventually exist."
Aragorn sat down and looked his friend in the eyes. "It will be alright, my friend. Do not worry yourself. Is that all that has been bothering you?"
"That is all." Legolas spoke softly.
*~*~*~*
~~Soft whimpering filled the halls. Heavy footsteps filled the air, beginning to drown out the crying. Every door remained closed. There were only two who remained inside the large house.
An elfling who was huddled in a corner, bolted up on his feet, and fled down the hall. His light footsteps made no sound, but his panicked breathing seemed louder than usual. Everything remained dark. Not even the glow of the moon gave light.
The elf found himself trapped. Too young to think of anything, he remained frozen at the end of the long dark hall. His heart hammering in his chest. This was not something he had expected.
The figure approached him slowly, and finally when he reached the child. A smirk played on his thin lips, his eyes sparkled with the thought of what he was to do. It pleased him to see an elf so frightened of him. And a ryal one, none the less.~~
The prince of Mirkwood had woken abrubtly and found himself huddleing into his pillows. He looked around quickly, half expecting the man from his dream to be standing at the foot of his bed. But nothing stood there. Calming his nerves slightly. His heart quit hammering, and slowly, he relaxed into a dreamless sleep.
A/N: Sorry if anyone is out of character. Specially Legolas. However it might be slightly normal? Maybe not. Anyway, I hope this turned out well. Sorry if this update took a while. I have been busy with school, and working. Review please! It would be very helpful. :)
