Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I love them all. And I will work with the idea I get just be patience. Beta readers are still welcome. Email me about it. I will try to put romance in it but well Joyce has to be carefull with the wounded Legolas (.
When Joyce awoke later that afternoon her body was all stiff and sore. Looking around it only took her a second to realise where she was. Looking at Legolas she saw that he was still asleep. Slipping of the bed and out of the room, Joyce went in search of a bathroom.
I knew at once that you were meant for me.
Deep in mu soul I know that I am your destiny.
Trough you are unsure.
Whey fight the tide.
Don´t think so much
And let your heart decide
I see your future and it is tied to mine.
Look in your eyes and I see you searching for a sign.
But you will never fall, til you let go.
Don´t be so scared of what you don´t know.
True to your heart
You must be true to your heart.
That is when the heavens will part.
And shower you with my love
Open your eyes.
Your heart can tell you no lies , and when your true to your heart.
I know it is going to lead you straight to me.
When she stopped and opened her eyes again Legolas was relaxed again. She lied back down again until a knock on the door came. Standing up she walked over and opended the door. Aragorn was standing in front of it. He smiled before poiting to the door. Joyce opended it so that he could come in. "How are you?" The man asked softly. "Sore and stiff and you?" She said not telling the whole truth. "I have been better. I came to check on Legolas." Aragorn answered. "Do you know what time it is?" Joyce asked Aragorn. "I think you slept for maybe 2 or 4 hours. It has not been more. Has Legolas been awake?" Joyce shook her head before she answered. "He is in pain. I sang to him and he relaxed. But I don´t think it will last long. He is also sweating. Something he should not be doing." Aragorn nodded before he walked over to the bed.
After looking at Legolas he said."Joyce, can you find Gandalf for me? I need his help." Joyce nodded before she ran off. She ran trough the halls in search of the wizard. She found him sitting outside. "Gandalf, Aragorn send me. He said he needed your help with Legolas." Gandalf stood up and ran after her.
Getting in the room he asked Aragorn what was wrong. "I think he is getting a fever of something. He is sweating and tossing around. I don´t really know what is wrong but I need your help." The man said. Gandalf then looked at Joyce. The girl was turning as white as the sheets. "Joyce, wait outside okay:" Gandalf pushed her outside and closed the door.
Joyce sat down against the wall. She felt again how tired and hurt she was. She was getting scared. This is why she waited with giving away her heart. Everytime she let someone come close, they would die or get hurt. She did not want to lose Legolas. Her head fell into her arms when she began to cry.
"Lassie, what is wrong?" Gimli asked. "With everything I heard from you and Legolas, you should be smiling." Joyce lifted up her head before answering. "Legolas is wounded and I am scared he will lose his life."
The Dwarf put his hand up her shoulder before answering. "The Elf is one of the most stuborn people I know. He will not lose that easily. Not while he has got something to stay here for." Joyce looked up and smiled a bit. "Thanks Gimli. Your are great friend." The dwarf blushed. "Now Lass. No need for that. How about I get you some food?" Joyce nods.
After a while Gimli comes back with two plaits filled with food. He puts one in front of her. Joyce begins to eat. After a while she shoves the plait away. "Not hungry, lassie?" Gimli asks concerned. "Not really. I am not feeling so good. Very tired and hurt. It is problaby nothing." Joyce said.
The door opened and Aragorn and Gandalf stepped out. "He is awake and you can both see him." Gandalf said while smiling. Joyce stood and after leaning for suport against the wall she walked into the door after Gimli.
Legolas was lying on the bed with underneath his head a pillow. He smiled a bit but his eyes remained painfully. "Don´t ever do that again Lad. You scared us. Don´t do it again got it." Gimli told him. Legolas nodded but then focused on Joyce. In his opinion she did not look good. She was looking out the window. Legolas asked Gimli softly if he wanted to leave. The Dwarf wanted to answer no but then he saw that Legolas was watching Joyce. So he said instead. "You want to be alone with her right. I will leave you then alone. Take good care of her Elf she needs it. You scared her most of all." Legolas looked at him and mounted the words "Thank you" Gimli only smiled before closing the door.
"Meleth-Nin (my love) tell me what is wrong?" Legolas asked her. Joyce turned around before walking over. "I am just tired and a bit sore that is all. You should get some rest instead of worrying about me." Joyce said while sitting on the bed. She let her face look at the blankets. Legolas lifted her chin up with his hand. He looked into her eyes and saw that they were not as bright as before. He then ran his hand to strike the lose stringes of hair out her face. He stopped when he felt how hot she was. "You can´t fool me Joyce. You are not okay. Please tell me what is wrong? You helped me when I needed you now let me help you." He told her.
"I am just so tired and everything is hurting me. I was so scared of losing you today. I guess the battle efected me more then I tought it would. And I am not feeling so good." She finished. Legolas sat up and opened his arm. "Come here." He said. It took Joyce only a moment to nearly trow herself in his arms. Legolas presses her close. He can hear her cry softly into his shoulder. Stroking her hair he sings softly.
Someone you know is on your side, can set you fee.
I can do that for you if you believe in me.
Why second guess? What feels so right?
Just trust your heart and you will see the light.
True to your heart.
You must be true to your heart.
That is when the heavens will part.
And shower you with my love.
Open your eyes.
Your heart can tell you no lies.
And when your true to your heart.
It is going to lead you staight to me.
Joyce was falling asleep while listening to Legolas singing and the beating of his heart. The Elf smiled before lying back down. This time he made sure that she was warn enough else she would get more sicker then she was. He then to fell asleep.
