A Love Once Realized
By Clio Leanan Sidhe

Chapter thirteen

When Legolas awakened he was surrounded by elves. Arwen was sitting on the side of his bed, holding his hand while she rubbed the back of it softly. Elrond was standing behind her, a hand placed on her shoulder. On the other side of the bed stood Nayevar, biting on his lip while he seemed somewhat nervous. On the end of the bed stood Erestor, as always silent and unreadable while he watched Legolas.

"What happened?" Legolas asked, looking at Arwen.

Arwen smiled a little. "You fainted."

Elrond nodded in agreement. "Do you have any idea why, Legolas?"

Legolas frowned and watched Elrond. "I had a bad night, and I had a dream about Mirkwood, it came back to me when I heard Nayevar tell me about Mirkwood." He continued quickly. "I felt weak all of a sudden and then I woke up here. "

"If you think there is something else, or could be something else I will examine you." Elrond told him, smiling down at Legolas. "It is your own choice."

Legolas shook his head. "I am find but thank you Lord Elrond."

Elrond nodded. "Then I will leave you to rest." He decided and left the room in silence, followed bye Erestor who gave a quick goodbye. The two remaining elves looked at him in concern. Arwen was the first to speak. "Are you sure you are all right Legolas?" She asked, worried about her friend.

Legolas nodded. "Yes, it was just because of the dream."

Nayevar sat down next to Legolas and looked at him. "I'm sorry Legolas, it was my fault."

Legolas quickly shook his head and hissed when he felt pain shoot through it. "No Nayevar, if it is someone's fault then it is my own, for not taking more rest because I knew I had a bad night."

Nayevar sighed. "Very well." He muttered and then got up, leaving slowly.

Arwen watched Legolas for a long time. "If something is wrong then you can tell me Legolas" She told him and squeezed his hand to comfort him. "You can tell me anything."

Legolas nodded. "I know Arwen but there is nothing to tell, I was just tired."

Arwen smiled and nodded. "All right." She got up, changing the subject. "You must be hungry, it is long passed dinner time."

"Really?" Legolas asked, taken aback that he had been asleep for so long.

Arwen nodded. "Yes, you slept for nine hours."

"I must have been tired." Legolas decided and received another nod from Arwen.

"Yes, you probably were." She decided, but still she found it odd for an elf to be that tired.

Legolas sat up. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you and Daewen."

Arwen quickly shook his head. "That is fine Legolas, when I heard the news I quickly returned." She smiled softly. "Daewen was worried about you, I should go and see if I can find her."

"Tell her I am sorry."

Arwen rolled her eyes and got up. "Don't be sorry Legolas." She told him and then left him alone.

Legolas sighed and looked around the room. His hand found the familiar place on his stomach once again, feeling it turn underneath his hand.

A knock came on Legolas' door and it was then opened. Legolas smiled when a servant brought him a tray of food. "Lady Arwen asked me to bring you some food."

"Thank you." Legolas whispered and took the tray from the dark haired elf.

The elf nodded and smiled. "Do you need anything else?"

Legolas shook his head and took a piece of bread. "No thank you."

"Then I will leave you alone again."

Legolas nodded and watched the servant leave before he continued eating.

O O O

Arwen knocked on her father's door, when she heard Elrond's voice she opened the door and peered inside. "Father, can I have a word with you?"

Elrond nodded and laid down his quill. "What is it Arwen?"

"I am worried about Legolas." Arwen told him and closed the door behind her, stepping inside Elrond's room.

Elrond nodded in agreement. "So am I." He told her.

"Do you know what is wrong with him?" She asked, watching her father get up and walk over to her. Elrond placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head.

"No, not yet at least." Elrond told her. "I want you to keep an eye on him, Arwen." He continued when he saw his daughter nod. "If this happens again and no one is around we will not know what kind of consequences it will have."

Arwen bit her lip. "Do you think it is because of the dream he had, that he is not able to sleep well and just fainted."

Elrond shook his head. "I think there is more about it then just a dream."

"But why doesn't he tell us what is wrong with him." Arwen asked softly, wanting to help her friend.

Elrond squeezed her shoulder which made Arwen look up at him again. "Who says that Legolas himself knows what is wrong with him?"

Arwen frowned. "You think he doesn't know?"

Elrond shook his head. "No, I think he knows as much as we do."

"I understand." She muttered and smiled at her father. "I am going to see if he needs anything."

Elrond nodded and returned to his desk. "Please keep me informed, it will help me find out what is wrong with him."

Arwen nodded and said goodnight to her father, leaving him alone once again. She quickly made her way to Legolas' chambers, hoping to find the blonde elf better again. She had sensed it, felt it when something went wrong with Legolas. Arwen didn't understand why but she had to find him, leaving Daewen and the elflings behind with a small explanation.

Arwen stopped in front of Leoglas' door and knocked on it, waiting for a reply from the other side.

The blonde elf inside looked up at the door. "Yes?"

"It is me, Arwen." Arwen replied and then opened the door stepping inside. She was glad to see that Legolas had eaten and was still lying in the large bed. "How are you feeling?" She asked, closing the door behind her.

Legolas watched Arwen as she sat down on the side of his bed and smiled at her. "I am feeling all right."

Arwen nodded. "Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" She asked, watching Legolas.

Legolas looked down at her hands and nodded. "I would be grateful if you stayed."

Arwen smiled and got up. She lay down on the bed next to Legolas, watching the blonde while she lay on her side, facing him. Legolas looked back at her.

"Do you think Aragorn will return soon?" He asked softly.

Arwen sighed. "I don't know, I hope so."

Legolas nodded. "Yes, I hope so too." He decided and yawned, trying to hide it behind his hand.

Arwen couldn't help but laugh. "Try to sleep, your body needs to rest."

Legolas nodded in agreement.

Arwen watched him for a long time, making sure that the blonde elf was asleep. Legolas tossed and turned in his sleep, muttering something that she couldn't understand. She placed a hand on his forehead and found it rather cold all though Legolas' cheeks were flushed. Arwen pulled the blonde in her arms and placed a kiss on his forehead. "What is wrong with you Legolas?" She whispered softly and stayed with him through the night.
