~Gone~

Part 3 ~Galadriel
All my sarcasm disappeared as I saw the Lady, glowing as she approached us.
I think my jaw dropped to the floor and I have forgotten how to breathe,
funny how that works. That voice whispered in my mind, 'Breathe child.'
I obeyed, my eyes focused on the elven woman, smiling down at me, her eyes
sparkled, like star sapphires. **What did you dream child, that caused so much
pain in your eyes?**
Sudden tears slipped down my cheek unchecked, as I answered the Lady, choaking
on my thoughts, **I saw a fortress in a ravine, bearing down on it was an army, as
far as the eye could see.** I looked at Haldir, **There were elves there, helping the humans
within the fortress. He was there, my Lady, he was there helping them.**
I paused, scared to tell her what happened to her March-Warden, then a soft reasuring voice
said, **Child, tell me, even if its bad, I need to know.**
Gulping I went on, **A voice yelled down from the battlements, Telling this Aragorn to get up to the Keep,
Aragorn shouts to all around him, he looks up seeing the elves still on the wall, they didn't hear the call,
shouts out to Haldir, who nodds. Haldir protected the backs of his men as they ran to the safety of the Keep.
He was struck in the arm, then in the back. Aragorn caught him as he fell, his eyes were vacant.
I saw him die!! He was dead..............** With that last thought I collasped on my hands and knees
my tears falling in tiny rivers, splashing onto the floor.
How long I was there crying I did not know, until a soft finger slid under my chin, with gentle force
I looked into her eyes, that held wisdom and understanding. "Child, why do you feel so much pain
for a stranger you just met?"
'Thats what I wanted to know, why do I care, for a jackass like him?' I thought my sarcasm coming back.
'(1) Hes WAY to old for me, (2)Hes such a JERK! (3)........., damn couldn't think of a good one for
number 3!'
"I don't know my Lady."
"All of you have," she gestured to include my sisters, "seen so much pain, in your young lives. Rest
here young ones, relieve your minds of your sorrows. Go with Haldir, children."
As we followed him, I looked back, the Lady gave me a small smile, **Open his heart child, for it has
been frozen for too long, now. Open it and all the joys shall be yours.**
I shuttered at that, looking back, catching 'his' icy grey eyes, Haldir was glaring at me, I snarled as I
walked passed him, 'Easier said than done. The only thing that will melt that hunk of glacier would be
time.......lots of time.'
**Time he does not have, child**
'Damn.' I cringed.
Walking down the kalzillions of stairs, we finally came to the bottom. Tents has been
sent up, for us? Who knows.
Gesturing to the tents, Haldir whirled around and vanished around a corner, my sisters and I looked
at eachother, "Who spit into his bean curd?" I thought out of the blue, not realizing I spoke outloud.
"Okay someone has been watching, 'Mulan' way to many times." Beth said with a hint of laughter in her voice.
I turned to my younger sibling, raising one eyebrow.
She immediately shut up.
Our stuff was alright there, I walked around the tent and in a corner was neatly folded bedcovers.
So Niki being the perfectionist in the family, besides our mom, made the beds, I grimaced as she
neatly folded the covers into place.
I rolled my eyes to the heavens, 'God give me strength.'
(note) In cause everyone was wondering, this is RIGHT before the fellowship comes to Lothlorien.
I know Lady Galadriel has the sight, but not all things are reveiled to her
Im already writing the next chapter............so R/R please!!
