Summer Wind
Chapter 5
About ten minutes later, I finished the soup, bread, water, and some grapes. During the whole time, I had to stop once in a while for my stomach didn't agree with the amount I was eating, and wanted it out of my system. I folded my legs on the chair, as I wrapped my arms around my waist, laying my head to the side, not feeling so well.
"Are you all right Lady Magdalena?" Elrohir asked concerned.
He got off his chair and kneeled next to me, his hand on my right cheek. I just nodded, smiling weakly.
"No you are not." He put his hand on my forehead.
I took his hand in mine and smiled. I knew I was going to regret it but if I don't say anything now, he will never leave me alone.
"I'm fine. Just not used to eating so much is all."
Elrohir had a shock and surprise look. I don't know if it was from me talking for the first time to him, or it was from what I said. He shook his head, than furrowed his eyebrows in both confusion and concern.
"What do you mean 'not eat so much'?"
I just shrugged my shoulders, looking at him tired. "You might want to go. Someone could be looking for you."
"I do not care. I will not leave you like this."
I shook my head. "I just need to adjust, is all. Go, now."
Elrohir hesitated to stand up but did so and walked slowly to the door. He looked back the whole time, not knowing what to do. When he reached the door, he looked around the hallway, and left, closing the door behind him. Putting my left hand to my mouth, I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. I threw up all that I just eaten. Feeling a lot weaker, I walked to the bed and flopped on my back, the sickness starting to pass over. Feeling too weak for anything, I started to drift off to sleep, not hearing the noise outside my balcony.

I woke up but didn't open my eyes. I smiled and sighed in content at the caress ness on my cheek. It stops for a couple of seconds, than started again. I realized I moved to my side during my dreamless slumber. Yes, no nightmares of my father came to me this one time. I curled into a ball, not wanting the warm feeling inside me to leave. I started drifting again, hopefully to another dreamless sleep.

--1st POV, Elrohir--
After practicing for the archery contest throughout the whole morning, and half the afternoon, I went back to Magdalena's room to see if she was all right. I should not have left her alone. Not the way she was looking. As I reached her doors, I knocked but did not hear anything. So I tried again. Once again silence. So I slowly opened the door and poked my head inside.
The scene I saw made me smile, as I saw Magdalena on her bed, asleep. I walked inside, closing the door behind me, and walked over to her. I sat at the edge of the bed, watching her sleep. She looked so calm and peaceful when she was asleep, when she is not having a nightmare that is. The mortal than started to move to her side for a better position. Some of her honey brown hair falling onto her face.
I pushed her hair behind her ear. As my fingers touched her smooth tan skin, I shuddered inside. I do not know why I reacted like that. It's not like I have not touched a woman's skin before. Not able to fight the temptation, I caressed her cheek, loving the feeling. I saw Magdalena smile and sigh. I stopped, believing I woke her up. But she did not, so I started caressing her cheek once more.
She than curled into a ball. I smiled, as she looked like a small child. I leaned my head down and kissed her brow. Though, I do not know what came over me to do such thing, for she is mortal and I am immortal.
I moved to her ear, whispering in elvish. "Sweet dreams, little one."
Than I stood up and walked out to get some food for her when she awakes.

--1st POV, Legolas--
I was walking down the west wing hallway, knowing full well that this was Lady Magdalena's room was located. I turned the corner but quickly hid back. I peeked around the corner, seeing Elrohir closing the door to Magdalena's room. I wonder why he was in there? Magdalena does not talk. Not even to me anymore.
I better keep a close eye on Elrohir. It seems to me that he spent the night with Magdalena yesterday. For they both disappeared during the party last night. Though they could have not down what I think they have. Elrohir is not that stupid to do it with a mortal. No matter how beautiful she is. Though, I wouldn't blame him for having such thoughts. They have been in my mind also.
But we both know, we wouldn't give up our immortality for her. Not unless we love her. Which will probably not happen in a millennium.

--1st POV, Magdalena--
I awoke again, this time lying on my stomach. Groaning, I stretched out like a cat, my back and arms cracking. Sighing in relief at the wonderful feeling, I laid back down, smiling. It felt nice. Now all I needed was a nice long bath and a good massage. I than heard chuckling to my left. I quickly sat up and saw Elrohir trying to hold in his laughter.
I felt myself start blushing, and was thankful that the room was dark. I sat on my knees, staring at Elrohir, my head tilted to the side. I arched an eyebrow, wanting to know why he was in my room at this hour. Whatever hour it is.
"I came to see how you were feeling after breakfast. I did not feel right just leaving your side when you looked so ill."
I shook my head, waving a hand at the same time.
"Will, now that I know you are all right, I will take my leave. Good night, Lady Magdalena."
I nod my head, as he walked out of my room. I got off the bed and walked over to the balcony. I saw that it was now night but it was difficult for me to know what time it was. Because I didn't know how to tell time without a watch or digital clock. I closed my eyes, as I felt the wind blow towards me, cooling me down a bit.
I than felt somebody's eyes on me, so I snapped my eyes open to see a pair of bright red, golden color eyes. I screamed a bloody murder scream, as I stumbled backwards. I recognize those eyes. It was the same color of my father's eyes last night in my nightmare. I saw the figure jump out of the tree that was in front of my balcony, and stand on top of the railing.
I fell to the floor, still screaming. It was my father, yet not my father. He had the same body and almost face structure but it was not him. I heard the door pounding, as Elrohir's voice came through.
"Magdalena! Magdalena!!"
I stood up and ran towards the door but I was tackled half way. I tried to crawl away from him but he had a death grip on me. He turned me to my back, so I could face him. I than heard the king's voice, as will as Legolas, Lord Elrond, and other's that I met last night. I started crying, kicking, scratching, and biting but nothing worked.
Than it spoke in that voice that seemed to be a screeching noise with a snarl. He pressed a pure black dagger against my neck. The hilt had some kind of creature on it, it's mouth opened wide, showing it's teeth.
"Believe me when I say this, Dínenwen: Your turn will come. You will suffer the same fate as your father. The bloodline of the FallingStar will now be gone forever. And my revenge on the family will now be complete with you dead!"
My 'father' took the dagger and dugged it into my left upper arm. I cried out in pain and fear. I heard the door bust open, the weight of my 'father' off of me, than Elrohir hugging me. I grabbed his shirt for dear life, not wanting to be alone anymore. I don't know who that man was. He was not my father. He was somebody else. And what did he mean about this family bloodline of this FallingStar will be gone. And his revenge will be complete with me dead?
I didn't know what to think anymore. I don't know what's happening. I just want a normal life for once! I than heard Elrohir gasp and started talking to everybody in the room in elvish. But I didn't hear any of it, for I was weak already from the loss of blood when my 'father' dugged that dagger in my arm.

--3rd POV--
"Father, look!" Elrohir held up Magdalena's left arm.
Elrond kneeled down and gasped. "It is the symbol of Deachír from the Far East. But it was said that he died centuries ago." Elrond stood up, looking at everyone.
"It seems that he has return for a family member of the FallingStar has returned to this world." Galadriel said, as she took a step forward.
"You mean Magdalena has the bloodline of a FallingStar?" Legolas asked, confused.
"It seems that way."
