Note: Thanks for all the reviews and ideas. I will work with them. Let´s begin.
The week had gone by quickly and Joyce and Legolas were ready to depart for Ithilien. Some of the Greenwood Elves have decided to come with them. They are the younger ones. The ones that don´t want to leave these shores yet.
Joyce softly petted Bredo on the nose to calm the horse. "Easy, Mellon (friend). We will leave soon. You can run free again."
Legolas smiled as he saw Joyce talk to Bredo. He knew she was not only talking to the horse but also to her own desire.
"Well, Lad. We will leave soon. It is nice from you to let me ride with you instead of walking." Legolas heard a voice next to him say.
When he looked down, he saw Gimli standing there. "It is no problem, Gimli." Legolas answered the dwarf.
Gimli smiled and then he also looked at Joyce before he said. "Don´t do the same as your father did. If you keep her locked inside a room, she will kill you."
Legolas nodded and said. "Yes, she is like me. I don´t like being inside all the time. But now if you would hurry up we can finaly leave."
Gimli muttered something that Legolas could not quite catch and then shook his head.
Legolas smiled at the dwarf but then moved when he saw his father coming out. He moved to him and the King said.
"My son, I wish you good luck and a safe journey. Send word when you reached the woods."
Legolas nodded and then hugged his father.
When they broke apart, Legolas aw tears in his father´s eyes. The king smiled and said. "I never tought I would have to say goodbye to you, so soon after you got back. May the Valar keep your safe."
Legolas smiled and said. "I will, father. Everything will be fine. I will not leave for real. I will always be in your heart."
Thranduil nodded at his son and then smiled before he pulled him in a quick hug again.
Joyce had dismounted the horse and moved to them.
Thranduil smiled at her and said. "I hope you will make my son happy, child. Take care."
Joyce nodded and bowed briefly.

They had left Gimli yesterday by Helms Deep. Legolas kept looking back until he felt a hand on his arm.
"You will see him again soon, my love. We will send word to him when we are done and he can come and see." Joyce said.
Legolas smiled at her and then said. "It is just ever since the quest we have not been apart. Now it is only you and me. I guess I just need time to get used to this."
"You have all the time in the world. Did Thranduil say what he was going to do about Ireth?" Joyce asked.
"He is not sure yet. But I don´t think she will hurt us again." Legolas said. He never knew how wrong he was.

They had started building on the colony since yesterday.
Joyce stretched her back. It felt good to be outside again and to work. She had missed it. She felt at home among the tree and the Elves that had gone with them from Eryn Lasgalen.
"We take a break. We will continue in an hour." Somebody shouted.
Joyce dropped what she was doing and moved to Legolas.
The Elf was looking around and admiring the work. He smiled when he heard her aproach. "It is going good. Don´t you agree."
Joyce nodded and the pointed to the house they had built first and she asked. "What is that House for?"
"It is our houses of healing. Just in case we need it." Legolas answered.

A couple of days had gone by and they still continued on working. Joyce was getting restless. A thunderstorm had started about a hour ago. Something that was not unusual for this time of year.
She had told Legolas that they had to stop working due to the storm but the Elf only laughed and said that is did not matter.
They had recieved word that Ireth would be send to Lorien to wait her destiny at the mercy of Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn.
Joyce was working underneath the tree but kept an eye out for anything that could happen.
Legolas did not understand that Joyce was so restless, everything was going to be fine. He would feel it if there was any danger. But he was wrong this time.
Joyce saw the arrow that was poited at her to late. She did hear it coming and stepped aside just in time.
Legolas was not so lucky. He and some other Elves were working on another stone house and were lifting big and heavy rocks with ropes.
One of the fired arrows slashed one of the ropes, which caused the stone to fall.
One of the other Elves was directly underneath the stone. Legolas saw the fear written on his face and pushed him out of the way of the stone. Causing the stone to fall on him.
Joyce had moved so fast to the place from where the arrows where coming.
It were a few men who fired it and Ireth. Joyce shot the men down and then rushed after Ireth.
The Elves-maiden was fast but she was no match for the super saiyan speed of Joyce.
Joyce used an energy ball to trip Ireth and the She-Elf soon found herself on the ground.
Joyce forcefully picked her up and pushed her towards the nearest tree trunks.
"I see your back. I warned you, did I?"
Ireth laughed and said. "It is too late. He is dead soon. If I cannot be happy with him then nobody can."
"What are you talking about?" Joyce shouted.
"Legolas will be dead soon." Ireth smiled.
"If he is then so are you now." Joyce said her voice dangerously calm.
Ireth then saw the look in her eyes and the next thing she knew was that a big flashing light was there and then everything was dark.
Joyce´s rage had exploded and she had killed Ireth. She rushed back but by the time she got there it was too late. It had already happened.
She closed her eyes for a brief moment but that image she just saw she would never forget.
Legolas had been trapped underneath the rock. His eyes were closed.
Joyce forced her grief down and moved to him.
Croushing down next to him, she saw that some Elves were already sitting with him.
"I need to move the rock. Keep him steady, please." Joyce instructed the Elves.
They nodded and moved out of the way.
Joyce walked away from the rock and pulled her hands back.
She knew that if she tried to move the rock, it would mean more pain for Legolas and it could damage him more. So she had to destroy it.
She concentrate her energy into her hands and slowly said. "Ka-me-ha-me- ha."
She then let the energy go and it rushed towards the rock and it was blasted into a million pieces.
The Elves with Legolas protected him from the impact of the blast.
She then ran back at him and croushed down again.
She let her eyes scan his body for any injuries.
He was death pale and his tunic was turning red around his stomach area. By the look of it he had no broken bones but Joyce did not know for sure.
She closed her eyes and then while taking a deep breath and calming herself, she then said. "Send word for King Ellesar of Gondor, saying that we need his healing skills and send word for Gandalf the White too. Hurry!"
One of the Elves nodded and then took a horse and left for Minas Tirith.
Looking at one of the guards, she asked. "What is your name?"
"My name is Meaglin." He answered.
Joyce nodded and then said. "Alright. We need to move him inside. I cannot tend to him here. Do you think you can help me?"
Meaglin nodded and shouted to one of the other Elves. "Get some clean water and somebody with healing skills."
"On the count of tree." Joyce said.
And then they both lifted Legolas.
When they were inside, they gently eased Legolas down on the bed.
Joyce asked all the Elves to leave unlesh they had some healing skills.
One of the maidens stepped forward. "My name is Tari. I can help. My father is a healer and I learned from him."
Joyce nodded and said. "Fine, let us get to work. The rest of you leave the room but do not go far. If there is any news let us know. We will send word when there is any change."
The Elves nodded and left the room.
"Is there any change that he will survive?" Tari asked.
Joyce looked at her and then said. "Right now, not much. I need to give him some of my strenght and then we will tent his wounds. If he does not wake up before the first light tomorrow he will not make it."
Tari took a deep breath and then said. "We will not let him die. I swear."
Joyce smiled and then said. "Take a few steps back. This will not look pretty."
Tari nodded and did what was asked of her.
Joyce placed her hand above Legolas´s chest and then closed her eyes.
She said words in a unknown langues taught to her by Gandalf.
She was asking to give her power to him and to let him live. If her request was permitted, Legolas would live else he would die.
When she was done, she had to sink to her knees and catch her breath. Her request had been permitted.
Standing up, she nodded to Tari and the both of them began.
When Joyce removed Legolas´s tunic, she saw that there was a huge gash running from the left to the right side of his stomach. It was not very deep but still bled pretty bad.
Tari smiled and said. "It does not look to bad."
Joyce shook her head and said. "He had internal bleedings. That is where my powers come in. They can fix thing inside that we cannot see. But that is not what I fear. He had pulled back deep inside himself. I don´t know if I can reach him."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
A couple of hours had gone by and Joyce was sitting next to Legolas´s bed. He had not awoken yet.
It was in the middle of the night and Joyce had prayed to every Valar she knew to spare his life. She could not take it, if he were to die.
It did not look good and while tears started to fall, Joyce began to sing.
I am so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fear.
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave.
Because your presence still lingers here and it won´t leave me alone.
These wounds won´t seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There is just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I would wipe away all your tears.
When your would scream I would fight away all your fears.
And I still held your hand trough all of these years, but you still have all of me.
You used to captivate me by your resonating light.
But now I am bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams.
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me.
These wounds won´t seem to heal.
This pain is just to real.
There is just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cry I would wipe away all of your tears.
When you would scream I would fight away all your fears.
And I have held your hand trough all of these years, but you still have all of me.
I have tried so hard to tell myself that your are gone.
But trough you are still with me
I have been alone.
Then her voice cracked and she could not sing anymore.
Legolas slowly squeeshed her hand and Joyce looked up. His eyes were open, they were dull and painfully but there was spark of life in them.
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Joyce helped him drink some water and said. "Don´t speak. It is alright."
But Legolas shook his head and gestured for her to come closer. When she was close enough, he whispered in her ear. "The Valar heard your prayers and song. I would have been death, but they have granted me a new change. It will be fine. You have done so much for them, they did not dare to take me away. And I did not want to go."
Joyce smiled a bit trough her tears but then Legolas hand came up behind her head and the Elf pressed her ear against his heart.
He stroked her hair and said. "Like I said my heart beats for you and I will not stop loving you."
Joyce lifted her head and kissed the Elf before she said. "Sleep, now. I have send word to Minas Tirith and to Gandalf. They will be hear soon."
Legolas´s eyes drifted over and even if he tried to fight it. Soon he was asleep again.
Joyce made herself comfortable in the chair and thanked the Valar for letting him life for now. She knew he was not out of the woods yet.
Will Legolas make it? Find out in the next chapter. Please review.
