Immortality: Part IV

Fulfill your destiny,

It's there within the truth.

My storm will never end

My fate is on the wind.

The king of hearts, the joker's wild.

"Where are you darling?" she heard him mutter from over the long distance. She was safely in Minas Tirith sleeping the day away, but she still heard his murmur, as he was about to fight the battle of his life.

If there had ever been any real danger she would have awoken from her sleep and moaned aloud as she scratched against the dirt that held her safely beneath the ground and out of the sun's rays. Of course she didn't really show up until nights later when he was walking around, alone, outside the walls of Minas Tirith. Dolgurak knew he was waiting for her. She didn't even bother to surprise him.

"You took long enough," he sighed turning towards her.

"Forgive me sweet prince, you seemed a bit busy with that halfling of yours," she beamed.

"You told me we'd pick up where we left off," he reminded.

"Sweet prince, do you think I would just forget such a thing. You appall me sometimes."

She placed her head on his shoulder and licked his neck lightly. "Do you wish to die tonight?" she asked.

"Do I have a choice?" he asked.

"No."

"Then yes."

She closed her eyes and raised her head. Upon opening she whispered, "Not tonight sweet prince."

"I'm ready when you are, darling."

She gently kissed his lips and then bent her head towards his neck again. Lightly she nibbled at it causing a small pinprick to bubble up, and she licked that from his skin. He shivered, and strangely bent his head toward her neck and kissed it. For the first time in hundreds of years she shivered with excitement. Legolas continued kissing her neck and she began to nibble his ear as he did so.

Quickly and in breathless anticipation she pulled away and with her nail ripped a hole in her neck, "Drink sweet prince, but not too much."

Tenderly he lapped at her flowing blood and she shivered excitedly. Goose bumps rose all over her arms and legs and she felt herself begin to feel strangely. That's when she bit into his neck and took a long drag of his blood like she'd done many times before. He stopped as soon as she did so and clenched his teeth.

"Take me now, end my suffering," he whispered.

She stopped suddenly and looked him in the eye. "Do you love your suffering?" she asked.

He nodded.

"I love my pain," and with that she closed his wounds and turned away as if to leave.

"Do you still love me?" he asked earnestly.

"Very much," she replied turning back towards him and walking back to his side.

"Could you ever love me more than pain?"

"Maybe..."

"What do you mean by maybe?" He was wringing his hands now, obviously distressed by the fact that she would kill him.

"Oh, you anger me sometimes Legolas, my sweet prince. You know that I can no more tell the future than you can kill me, if by some chance I do come to love you more than pain then I will alert you. Until then prepare to die."

He smiled. "Fine then. Do you wish to be... normal again?"

"Yes and no."

"That's no answer."

"It is so, next question."

He laughed and beamed at her majestically. "Do you think I love you?"

"That question, I can answer easily," she teased, "I can read your thoughts, but even so I can read your face just a well."

"Then what's your answer?"

"Yes, of course you do. How could you not?"

"Some people don't like having Vampires torment them for months only to kill them in the end."

"Those people taste terrible!" she grimaced.

"Can we ever truly be in love?"

"What do you call this? A game?" she asked a bit taken aback herself.

"It seems much so," he replied his eyes wide.

"Isn't love just a game anyways?"

"If you look at it as so."

"Then we will always be in love, even after you're gone," she sighed. Dolgurak turned and began to walk off into the night.

"Why do you leave me like this? Every time, we always part without a word. Why leave me alone like this?" he called after her.

"You still have much to fulfill, in the mean time I'll visit you from time to time, you'll hear from me again someday," she shouted over her shoulder.

"Please, don't be too long," he pleaded.

"I'll see what I can do." Dolgurak quietly faded into the night.

There you go! –DB:D
