Immortality: Part II And I will stand for my dream if I canSymbol of my faith and who I am,
But you are my only,
And I will follow on the road that lies ahead
I won't let my heart control my head,
But you are my only.
Weeks had passed since she had seen that lovely young elf. In fact she felt very much lonely, but she had followed their trail and she knew she would soon see them, in fact she felt their presence very close. They had been traveling for some time and had reached the Holin area. That meant nothing to her, all she knew is that Legolas was on watch and she had needed to drop in anyways.
He was sitting staring forward as most elves do when engrossed in their own thoughts in a sort of mock sleep. Quietly as a vampire/elf can she walked up behind him and sat down behind him. For minutes that lasted like hours she sat there staring at his beautiful hair and the distinct curvature of his back as he looked off into the east.
Slowly she reached a hand out and grabbed a handful of hair, immediately he tensed up. "Hush sweet prince," she cooed, pulling the hair from his neck and placing his lips close to his ear. Playfully she bit his ear and giggled.
"Do you wish to wake the whole fellowship?" he said through clenched teeth.
"Fellowship are we? Well, aren't you important, my sweet prince!" she laughed loudly jumping up and dancing in the moonlight.
"Please shush!" he pleaded angrily, "I can't have you cavorting with the ring bearer too!"
"Ring?" she asked stopping and sitting down in the dirt before him, "I love rings, they're ever so shiny, and I adore shiny things. In fact you're quite shiny now that I think about it!"
"What does that have to do with anything?" he asked rolling his eyes.
"Nothing, I should just kill you now. You make me sad pretty one."
"Go ahead, you will eventually."
"How can you be so sure? You are no seer, or Istari like your friend asleep behind you. You don't have a Plantir do you?" her eyes shone with interest as she leaned forward on her knees.
"No, I have nothing, but a nagging little creature that follows me."
"You're already fed up with me?"
"I was fed up the night you showed your face at the Last Homely House."
"Terrible, but I was there first, excuse me darling."
"Will you quit calling me that?"
"Alright, sweet prince, as you wish."
He sighed exasperated. "Couldn't you have come at a better time?" he asked.
"No, I don't think I could have. I couldn't wait much longer to see my sweet prince. But sadly I see there are problems with him."
"It's nothing you would care or know about!" he exclaimed.
"Do you really believe so?"
"Yes!"
"Then ask me and find out."
Legolas paused and raised an eyebrow before sighing and speaking. "It's called love. I doubt a creature like you would understand that."
"I know all about love, fair one, it's love that has kept you alive."
"Not love of the heart, love of the flesh."
"Love is love darling- I mean sweet prince," she smiled showing off her canines again.
"Well, the love of my life has no notion that my love exists," he frowned.
"Oh my poor baby, your human lover does not return your feelings?"
"Human? No! The dwarf!" he answered.
"Oh well in that case you are in a bit of a pickle are you?"
"I thought you said you could help?"
"I said you would have to see if I can!"
"I knew you wouldn't understand."
In another sudden movement she quickly walked beside him and sat down next to him. "Sweet prince, you may love who you want, but in the end you'll always be mine. But please, live for the moment, even I do not know when I may wish to take your life."
"If you love me so much why do you wish to take my breath from me?"
"Because your death brings me pain and I love pain more than I love you sweet prince. I am your mother, and pain is your father and together we made you what you are now and together we will make you what you will become. Till then, tell your friend how you feel and live, for Eru's sake!" In another swift movement she stood at the edge of the clearing.
"You leave so swiftly?" he asked sarcastically.
"Yes, I'm afraid I must, you make me thirst, but I can't yet bear to let you die. You have so much life yet to live."
"I've seen many lifetimes, what is one more?"
"That I do not know. Ask your dwarf friend on my behalf."
He smiled and chuckled to himself. "You won't have but a sip, before you go?" he asked raising his wrist.
She quickly flew to his side and grasped the wrist. "Since you offered," she smiled. Just as before she took a long drag of his warm and thick immortal blood, healing the wounds just as before. Just as before his eyes rolled back in his head and he muttered something she couldn't make out. "What was that you said, love?" she asked as she dropped his wrist.
He grasped it and inspected it quickly. "Will it hurt this much when you really take my life?" he asked sweat droplets on his forehead.
"Oh yes, but it will be enjoyable at the same time," and with that she left.
Once she was many miles away she sat down and physically rammed her head into a tree. "What are you doing Dolgurak?" she screamed aloud, "You can't allow this immortal to charm you with his good looks and his lack of fear. In fact you should have taken him then and there."
A voice inside responded, 'Do you really believe you could have done that?"
"Yes!" she screamed, "In fact I will next time!"
"Why not now?"
"Because, he needs to stew in his fear!" Dolgurak pointed her finger at the heavens accusingly.
"I saw no quaking. You love this creature and you know it!"
"As I said I love pain more. It will be sweet to drink his blood." The vampire rolled her eyes.
"You aren't as focused as you appeared to be when you first planned to toy with this elf."
"Yes, well you're dead! How about that one?"
"Do you really believe you'll follow through on this?"
"Yes, in fact I mean to make his death slow and oh so beautiful, just like him."
"There you go on beauty. That's what you said about me."
"Yeah, well aren't you dead?"
"No."
"Shut up Riok!"
"What ever you say Dol."
"That's right, whatever I say!" She paused and looked up into the empty sky to see she was alone as she had been the whole time. The disembodied voice was just a figment of her imagination. Whatever creatures saw her rant were sore confused and sore afraid she knew that.
"What ever I say," she repeated and went in search of her meal that night.
Happy now? Confused now? Cool!-DB:D
