A Love Once Realized
By Clio Leanan Sidhe

Chapter twelve

Legolas woke alone the next morning and it made him feel as empty inside as the bed was cold. He quickly got out of bed, not wanting to stay in it alone longer then was needed too. He dressed quickly, trying to ignore the things in the room which belonged to Aragorn but he found it difficult. Of course Legolas had been to Mirkwood without Aragorn and had actually been glad to be away from Aragorn but it was completely different now.

Legolas was glad to find Arwen who had made an schedule for the both of them for the entire day. First they would have breakfast on the balcony joined by Elladan and Elrohir, then Legolas would help Erestor and Arwen would wait for him in the gardens. Together they would go and help Daewen with the elflings. Daewen was one of Arwen's friends, Legolas had seen here a couple of times before but never paid much attention to what the blonde elf actually did in the house of Elrond.

A knock interrupted his thoughts and he quickly opened the door to find Arwen on the other side, on her side was Daewen who smiled softly at Legolas staring at him with her pale green eyes. "Arwen."

Arwen smiled. "Let's hurry, Elladan and Elrohir are all ready there."

"That will leave nothing for us." Legolas decided and stepped outside.

Arwen nodded. "Yes, I agree." She told him and took his hand. "How are you feeling today?"

"Why do you ask?" Legolas asked softly, holding his hand on his stomach.

Arwen shrugged. "I was just wondering."

Legolas glanced at her and sighed. "I just feel a little sick, it must be because of Aragorn..."

Arwen smiled at him, and squeezed his hand. "I understand."

O O O

Both Elladan and Elrohir looked up when they heard people approaching them. They smiled when they saw that it were Arwen and Legolas.

"Good morning Legolas." Elladan said and watched Legolas sat down next to him, following by Arwen who sat down next to Legolas, completing the small circle which was made by the four of them.

"Morning Elladan, Elrohir." Legolas greeted them both.

Elrohir smiled at him. "Good Morning."

While Legolas ate his breakfast in silence Arwen and Elrohir argued about silly things and Elladan kept his eyes on Legolas, noticing that Legolas acted somewhat weird. He hoped to see Legolas happier when Aragorn returned again. Elrond had told him some things about Aragorn's journey which would end in Bree. It was an easy journey and he would return safely, everyone seemed to be sure of that except for Legolas.

"Are you all right Legolas?" Elladan asked, watching the blonde elf.

Legolas turned to look at him and nodded. "Yes, just a little tired, I didn't sleep well last night."

"Why not?" Elladan asked.

Legolas shrugged. "I don't know actually." He decided and smiled at Elladan. "Maybe because I am so alone in a overly large bed." He joked and Elladan tried to fake a smile.

When Arwen couldn't win their little argument she crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue to her brother, Elrohir.

"Well that is mature." Elrohir muttered watching his sister with a annoyed and somewhat bored expression and then tried to ignore her completely.

Arwen turned to look at Legolas and brushed a hand over his cheek. "You are cold." She decided and made Legolas look at her, holding his chin between her thumb and forefinger. "Are you all right Legolas?"

" I just didn't sleep to well, that is all, don't worry so much about me." Legolas smiled and placed a hand on Arwen's wrist, holding it softly between his fingers. "Really Arwen, don't worry."

Arwen let go of him and nodded, letting her hand fall back to her side. But all though she had given up this moment she still found that there was going on something strange with her friend and she would keep an eye on him just to make sure everything would be all right with Legolas.

"I need to go to Daewen, she is waiting for me." Arwen told them and got up, brushing her hands over her pale pink dress.

Legolas also got up. "Then I should go and see what Erestor has for me today."

The two twins waved them goodbye and continued their breakfast as both Arwen and Legolas left them once again alone on the balcony. Arwen placed her hand on Legolas' upper arm before they parted. "You are coming after you finished for Erestor, right?"

Legolas nodded. "Of course, spending time with the elflings, I wouldn't want to miss it."

Arwen nodded and smiled. "We will probably be in the great hall, reading stories and those kind of things."

"I will be there." Legolas told her before following the path to the library while Arwen took the one in the opposite direction.

O O O

The time that Legolas helped his friend Erestor was spend in silence but there was no time for Legolas to think of anything but the work in front of him. When Legolas was almost finished Nayevar joined them in the library, needing to talk with Legolas, holding a letter in his right hand.

Legolas excused himself for a second and followed Nayevar outside of the library. "What is it Nayevar?" Legolas asked, holding his breath.

Nayevar held up the letter and looked at Legolas. "I have received a letter from my family, Mirkwood is peacefully and they are fine. They say that King Thranduil misses you but overall everything is all right with him."

Legolas sighed deeply, letting go of the breath he had been holding, remembering his dream. "Thank god." He whispered and smiled at Nayevar, placing his fingers on his lips. "I was so afraid something had happened in Mirkwood." Legolas felt his stomach turn as he remembered the dream, the voices and sounds he had heard filling his ears once again.

Nayevar placed his hands on Legolas' shoulders and frowned. "Are you all right?"

Legolas nodded. "Yes, I just...I just need to lay down for a-" He couldn't finish his sentence, his legs giving away underneath him. He fell in Nayevar's arms who quickly called for Erestor.

The dark haired elf came out of the library and quickly helped Nayevar with Legolas. "What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know, he was talking to me and the he just fainted." Nayevar cried out, looking at his friend.

Erestor quickly picked up Legolas in his arms and looked at Nayevar. "Call Elrond."

Nayevar nodded and quickly ran to Elrond's chambers while Erestor carried Legolas to his room.
