A/N: It is a songfic, and for fun, any reviews are welcome
Little Legolas had went to his room that night and closed the door. He had kissed his father goodnight, but he had hurried off before the tears he felt could fall. It was his amme's birthday today, and all day long his father had been sullen and withdrawn. Legolas had wanted to ask questions, to remember what she looked like one more time, to hear her favorite song, but his father's eyes held to much pain in them to remember just yet.
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Legolas changed out of the formal tunic he had put on in honor of the day. He changed into his nightshirt and crawled into his big empty bed. The shadows of the night danced across his room and frightened him, but he was too big to run to his father. His amme had always somehow known when he was scared, and before he could even call out to her, she had been at his side, chasing away the shadows and filling his room with the light of her smile.
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Legolas curled up with his favorite stuffed bunny. No one knew he had it except his amme, and she had given it to him before she died. It was his last link to her, the last thing to cling to. Closing his eyes he fell into a fitful dream. His dreams were scattered of orcs, and wargs, and horrible things coming for him. He whimpered in his sleep, and soon found himself standing in a hallway. At the other end was his amme's room, but when he ran to it and flung open the door he was greeted only by an empty bed, the same bed he had saw her in last. Silent tears rolled down his face as he tore at the covers, searching for what was lost, the piece if his heart that had died that day.
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
The small elfling could not fight the fears creeping inside him. He wanted to be held, he wanted his amme, and now she was gone. She had always held him, told him how special he was, and wiped away his tears. Sitting straight up in his bed he let the dream slowly fade away, and only then noticed the figure standing in the corner of his room. The tears still glistening on his face he peered into the darkness, and saw it was his father staring back at him. Thranduil came and scooped Legolas up in his arms and toted him down the hall to his room. He stoked the fire and laid Legolas down on the bed. "I am sorry Adar, I did not mean to trouble you," Legolas said with downcast eyes once again filling with tears.
"I may be the King of Mirkwood, but I am your father first young one. Your mother would not have me leave you on this night, and I know she is above looking down on you and smiling." As if to prove the point a rush of wind flew through the window leaving a hint of lavendar, her scent behind. Legolas fell asleep to the sound of his father's song, the song being one his mother had always sang. He would cry no more tears for her tonight, for he knew she was here with him always, in heart and soul.
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
