FAY'S P.O.V.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Two months-that's how long I stayed with Morier. And to be blunt, he treated me like a queen. I was pampered and showered with gifts. Every morning, there was a brand new gown laid out for me, and the food was delicious.
Anything that I requested or wished for was immediately retrieved for me-no matter the absurdity of it. And when I asked to be taught the art of the bow and arrow, it was Morier himself who taught me.
Of course, the moment that I picked up the bow, he decided that I ought to learn how to use a sword and daggers as well.
Life was grand. For a time there, any thought of home, Mirkwood, Legolas, or even Andra strayed as far from my mind as it possibly could...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
LEGOLAS'S P.O.V.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All that I could think about was Fay. Two long months ago, she ran off, and no one had seen her since. I was to blame. It was all my fault. She had tried to talk to me, to reason. I hadn't wanted to hear her.
I see now, though, that she was right. An elf and a mortal? It was a dream.
I sighed and dropped my head into my hands. Everything was ruined. Andra refused to speak with me, Mithrandir was disappointed, and Aragorn pitied me. I hated pity. It didn't change anything.
Looking back, I suppose that I should have been prepared for what was to come...
~*~*~*~*~
FAY'S P.O.V.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Morier?" I called across the table during breakfast one day.
"Yes, melomin*?"
I tapped my fork on the plate anxiously. Thoughts had been gnawing at my mind lately, and I wanted them, no, =needed them= out in the open.
"How do you know so much about me?"
"Well, my dear, when people spend two solid months together, they tend to learn about one another and..."
"No," I interrupted, now turning the fork over and over between my fingers. I bit my bottom lip, inhaled, and let it out. "Please don't misunderstand me. I am very grateful for all that you have done for me. Yet, there is something that I cannot rest without knowing. When you and I first met, you nearly recited my whole history back to me. How did you know?"
Then it happened. A devious smirk spread over Morier's features. "I was wondering how long it would take you to catch on, my sunlight."
"Catch on?"
"How did you think it happened, Fay? How do you suppose you got in Middle Earth in the first place?"
I pushed my chair back slightly. There was a crazed look in his eyes and he was beginning to frighten me... "I...I don't know..."
"I brought you here."
My jaw dropped and my eyes grew wide. I was speechless.
"The Valar told me of this other world-yours. I was granted the power to see into it at will. And who do you suppose that I saw, Fay? The perfect weapon. You."
"Me? Weapon!? Morier, you make no sense!"
"Oh, but don't you see, Fay? I brought you here. I planted all of those insecurities in your mind. That's right. I manipulated you. Every time that you hesitated or thought ill of yourself, it was I. I have complete power over your mind."
My breath was coming in short gasps now. It was too fast-all of it. None of it could be true! How could he possibly have brainwashed me? "Why would you do that!?"
He let out a small, malicious laugh. "It went so perfectly. Everything that I hoped for, planned for... You have been a most successful, puppet, my dear."
I suppose I must have fallen out of my chair, for next thing I knew I was on the ground.
"The prince couldn't help but fall in love with you," He continued. "I allowed it to happen. I allowed feelings to grow. Then I waited. I waited for him to make his move. And while I waited, I placed down the stones to form the path of the next few steps. I began to put horrid thoughts in your head. Then, when Legolas expressed his feelings for you, I made you run- straight to me."
My head was whirling. So I hadn't really been having self-esteem issues. It was Morier. The whole time, it had been him.
"Why do that?" I whispered, still unsure of the whole plan. "If you have such control over me, why not just make me run to you in the first place?"
"In order for the rest of the plan to work, Legolas must love you. It took time for him to acknowledge his feelings. When you ran, I wanted the elves to blame it on your 'self-esteem problems'. It would be far too suspicious if you just up and left if you were completely happy."
"So you made me think I was terrible, knowing that I would tell Andra and the others that I was unhappy with myself? Now that I am gone, they think it is because I was upset. They do not realize that you actually have me."
"Now you understand." He grinned.
"No. I don't. What do you need me for?"
He laughed aloud. "Revenge, of course! The prince of Mirkwood did me wrong many centuries ago. Long I planned to overthrow him, but he seemed to have no weakness. That left me with one other option-to create one. So I placed you in the picture. You, my Inwe, are his weakness."
I leapt up. "You are going to use me against Legolas!?"
He smirked and stepped closer, grasping my hands up in his. "It will break his heart to see that you do not care for him." He whispered in my ear. My eyes grew wide.
"You are wrong!" I cried, a fit of passion suddenly overtaking me. "I do care for him!"
Morier laughed again. "Perhaps, but he does not know that. You ran before you told him..."
"If all that you have said is true, then =I= did not run! You =made= me run!"
"Yes," he nodded. "That is correct."
"Well I'm sick of playing games, Morier. Let me go." I tried to wrench from his grasp, but it was to no avail.
"Oh no. You must stay with me, Inwe."
"Don't call me that!" I struggled against him. "Let go of me!"
"I'm afraid that I cannot do that. You still have a part to play yet. Your prince may be invincible in battle, but his heart is weak. When he sees you and I together, it will shatter and..."
"Together!? Are you mad!?!? I would never help you! Never!"
He forced both of my hands into one iron grip, and grasped my jaw with his free hand. "Look at me." He ordered.
"No!" I shouted, shutting my eyes tightly. I wriggled in his grasp. "Let go!"
"Do not make me hurt you, Fay! I care not how beautiful you are! If you stand in my way, I will take you down!"
Sure enough, I felt myself falling to the floor. My eyes instinctively widened in surprise. The last thing that I remember was his large green orbs, and then a black haze.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
All right, for those of you who did not follow the exchange (I hard a hard time putting in simply), here's a brief summary:
You know how Fay was feeling like she was worthless? Well she wasn't =actually= thinking that. Morier controlled her mind, and made her insecure about herself. He made her tell Andra about being 'insecure', and when she ran away from Legolas, everyone figured that it was because she felt insecure. But we know that that was just a cover up by Morier to keep suspicion low. After all, why would a happy girl run away? Basically, Morier makes her act unhappy, and everyone thinks she's missing because she's unhappy, not because she's been captured.
You all don't know what yet, but Legolas did something to Morier YEARS ago, and Morier is still pissed. He tried to take revenge, but our lovely Legolas was too smart and too crafty in battle for him. He lost. He figured that Legolas had no weaknesses, so he brought Fay to Middle Earth (you'll find out later how he got the power to do that, because he's not a wizard). He knew Legolas would fall in love with her, and she became Legolas's weakness. Now he's going to use her to get back at Lego.
