Back Again
By Siren
Hola! Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I have the next chapter though! Here it is!!! And thank you everyone who reviewed or sent me an e- mail. I love you guys! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legolas had left her. He didn't want her anymore. She was all alone again. She knew she was dreaming, but...
"Lily."
Lily turned to see Sarah standing in front of her, the bullet wound gone. "Sarah?" The woman in front of her smiled sadly and held out her arms. Lily quickly rushed into them, embracing her friend tightly. "Oh God Sarah, everything's gone so wrong!" the mortal cried. Sarah's face softened and she stroked Lily's hair gently. "I know, Lily. I've seen it all. Your mother's very upset and wants to talk to you as soon as possible." Lily sniffed and pulled away. "Why didn't she come and talk to me now, like you?" Sarah shrugged. "I'm just the messenger. Your mother will come to you in due time. Now that that's settled, how are you? I've been watching over you, but how are you feeling, really?"
Lily sighed and rubbed her throbbing forehead. "The honest answer would be 'utter shit'," she said and laughed quietly, though without mirth. Sarah sighed and placed her hand on Lily's shoulder. "I'm so sorry Lil'. Doesn't Legolas realize what he's losing?" The mortal shrugged. "A crazy mortal woman?" Sarah smirked but shook her head. "Don't put yourself down, Lily. You're better than that." Lily's bitter smile faded, and the exhaustion and pain began to show on her features. She looked tired and worn, and Sarah couldn't help but feel worried for her. "Lil'?" The brunette shook her head and looked away.
"Am I really better than that?" she whispered.
"What? Of course you are." Lily sighed and looked at her friend. "Ever since...well, for as long as I can remember, I've always felt like I'm not enough. After my family died, it didn't really seem to matter. I didn't need to please anybody. But since I met Legolas...Sarah, I'm not enough for him. His father was right. He deserves someone who will be able to make him happy for the rest of his immortal life." Sarah frowned, her brows drawn together. "And what about what you want? What about your happiness?"
"Since when has that mattered?" Lily snapped.
Sarah flinched, but didn't move away. Lily noticed her expression, and her face softened. "I'm sorry Sarah. I didn't mean to snap at you." Sarah nodded, though she was still frowning. "I know. It's no big deal. I'm the one who was going to kill you, remember?" she said, lifting an eyebrow. Lily smiled slightly, but ran her fingers through her hair. "I'm so tired Sarah. I don't want to give Legolas up, but I don't know if I have the energy to fight for him," she said and sat down. Sarah sat down next to her and studied her friend for a moment. "Don't underestimate yourself. You've got more strength in you than you realize."
Lily smiled softly at her, and felt tears gather in her eyes. "I really miss you Sarah." Sarah grinned. "I'm always with you Lily. Never feel alone." Lily hugged her friend tightly before resting her head on her shoulder. Sarah wrapped an arm around her, running her hands through her hair in a sisterly manner. "You'll be fine, Lily. Everything will be okay." Lily closed her eyes and allowed herself to relax.
"Everything will be okay..."
'How can everything be okay when I'm losing the elf I love?' Lily wondered as she drifted into a peaceful abyss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legolas watched with envy as Haldir comforted Lily in her sleep. She had begun tossing and turning and crying out, and Haldir's touch soothed her. It should be him in there, comforting her and soothing away the pain.
"I really miss you Sarah," Lily mumbled in her sleep.
Legolas felt a pang of regret in his heart. Lily missed her friend quite a bit, and he had done nothing to ease the pain of her passing. He had been too busy eyeing Reyna. As Lily's cries subsided, he let out a deep sigh. When had everything become so complicated?
"I think you've eavesdropped long enough, Legolas. Come inside or leave, but do not stand there like an idiot."
Legolas straightened at the sound of Haldir's voice. Blushing sheepishly, he opened the door and stepped inside. Now that he had a full view of Lily and Haldir, the envy he had been feeling before came back full- force. Lily was curled up in Haldir's lap, her head tucked under his chin. The Lothlorien elf was running his fingers through her hair while stroking her arm softly. Haldir noticed the jealousy in Legolas's eyes and fought the urge to smack him upside the head. "Put foolish envy aside and look at her. Do you notice anything?" Legolas frowned and walked over to the side of the bed.
Aside from the occasional twitch, Lily was completely still. Running his blue eyes over her form, he bit back a gasp. Her pale skin had taken on a faint glow, and he could feel a small wave of power rolling off of her. "What has happened to her? What magic is this?" Reaching out a hand, he gently brushed his fingertips across her brow. His eyes widened as a sudden sensation of warmth and love swept over him. "She is being protected by others like her. I believe Lady Galadriel called them 'angels'. They are all around her, holding her, keeping her safe while she sleeps."
Legolas looked over at Haldir in surprise. "But when Lily was sent back, she was sent without an angel to watch over her. Why are they here now?" Haldir smiled softly. "Because she called out to them. All throughout her life, she has tried to survive on her own, never seeking anyone's aid. But now, after everything she's been through, she realizes that she can't do everything by herself. She may not realize it, but her soul called out to her God in her hour of need and he has responded."
Legolas stared at the small form of Lily in awe. "Haldir, can you leave us alone for the rest of the night?" Haldir studied him for a moment, than nodded. "Apologize to her for your behavior, but do not expect forgiveness right away. She's hurt deeply." The Lothlorien elf sat up in the bed and laid Lily down before standing up and allowing Legolas to lie down next to her. The prince quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and spooned against her. Haldir watched with a soft smile as the glow that had been centered on Lily slowly spread to Legolas. He watched the blonde prince relax and his eyes glaze over.
"Sleep well, my friends. I shall think of a way to deal with Reyna." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After dawn came and night fell away, Reyna dressed and made her way toward Legolas's chambers. 'I'll have him eating out of the palm of my hand before noon,' she thought with a smirk. Stopping in front of two massive oak doors, she pushed them open and stepped inside. "Lord Legolas, 'tis me, Reyna!" She smiled brightly and made her way over to the bed. "Are you still sleeping?" She drew back the curtains and peered inside, only to let out a growl of frustration. Where was he?
"Looking for someone?"
Reyna turned to the door and forced a smile on her face. "I was merely looking for lord Legolas. Do you know where he is?" Haldir grinned slightly and nodded. "Yes I do, milady. He is in lady Lily's chambers, asleep. I doubt he will be awake for several more hours." The blonde elf bit back a chuckle at the sight of Reyna's furious look. "Oh. What a shame. Well then, when my lord wakes, please inform him that I was searching for him." Haldir nodded. "Of course, milady. Is there anything else you need?" Reyna shook her head. "No, thank you." She walked over to the door and brushed past him. "Lady Reyna..." The she-elf stopped walking but did not turn around. "I would be careful if I were you. Legolas treasures his love and son above all else and will let nothing harm them." Reyna said nothing and resumed walking.
Lily's eyes opened slowly and she blinked the sleep away. She felt utterly at peace, lying in bed. Her body was warm and comfortable, and a sense of security and love was wrapped around her. Smiling warmly, Lily closed her eyes again and began to drift off to sleep once more. Just as she was slipping away, she felt an arm tighten around her waist. Her gray eyes shot open and her sense of peace was shattered. She glanced down at the hand and followed the limb until she saw its owner. Her breath caught in her throat and for a moment she forgot how to breathe. He looked so beautiful, so angelic. His deep blue eyes were glazed over, showing that he was asleep. His lips were parted slightly, letting out warm puffs of air. His blonde hair was strewn about him, shining in the morning sun like a halo. And his skin...his skin had taken on an ethereal glow. All in all, he was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen.
Her love for him swelled in her chest and brought tears to her eyes. Reaching out a hand, she traced the features of his face as she had done so long ago. All anger and thoughts of Reyna were forgotten. All that existed was him. Hesitantly, she brushed his lips with her's. Gaining confidence, she kissed him again, this time tracing his bottom lip with her tongue. Legolas responded, opening his mouth to her and kissing her back. His grip on her tightened and he pulled her closer. Lily sighed when she felt his hands run up and along her back and through her hair. His touch was soft and gentle, yet firm and demanding. Legolas let out a small moan when Lily pressed herself against him, arching into his touch.
It was perfect unity and bliss.
Thranduil stood on his balcony in his chambers. This was where he came to think, and he had much to think about. He had just gotten word that Legolas was asleep in Lily's chambers. He was certain that Lily hated him for being attracted to Reyna. After all, what female wouldn't? And yet they were together, lost in peaceful slumber.
"Lord Thranduil."
Thranduil turned to see Radian standing in his doorway. "Good morning, lord Radian. What brings you to my chambers?" Radian's face was grim as he approached the king. "Your son," he answered. Thranduil let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead. "And what has he done now?" Radian stood beside him and gazed out at the majesty of Mirkwood. "You have a beautiful kingdom, Thranduil. It will continue to thrive when Legolas takes the throne, I'm sure. But...it shall certainly fall to ruin if he chooses the human woman as his queen." Thranduil nodded. "I agree. Surely you did not miss the obvious attraction my son feels for lady Reyna?" Radian shook his head. "Thranduil, you are wise beyond your years yet still naïve." He glanced over at Mirkwood's king for a moment. "Legolas loves the mortal."
"I know this. But he will forget all about her and learn to love Reyna." Radian lifted an eyebrow and a smile tugged at his lips. "My lord, surely you are not so foolish as to deny the bond between your son and the woman from another realm." Thranduil felt anger boil in his veins. "Bonds can be broken," he shot back hotly. Radian nodded. "This is true. But bonds of love? Come now, Thranduil. It would take unimaginable forces to break such a bond. Forces and powers that we do not possess." Thranduil said nothing, but his eyes narrowed. "All I am saying is to not underestimate your son's love for her." After a moment, Radian turned and left Thranduil to his thoughts once more.
Meanwhile, back in Lily's chambers...
Legolas had to be dreaming. This could not possibly be real. He was holding an angel in his arms and loving her tenderly. And what a beautiful angel she was. Her light brown hair was mussed and rested lightly on her shoulders as she arched her back. Her gray eyes were full of nothing but love and devotion, and those lips...he sighed as he kissed them. Even when he closed his eyes, he could still see her glowing form, a sheen of sweat covering her soft skin. Oh how he loved this angel. "Amin mela lle," he whispered, slipping back into his ancient tongue. "Forever and always," the angel whispered back, sealing their bond with a searing kiss.
Kiss the sun
In your eyes
Love unveiled
I can't deny
Be not warned
Watch it fall
Mesmerized...
Haldir began to pack his belongings, along with Legolas and Lily's. They were going to leave for Lothlorien tomorrow. Why Lady Galadriel wanted to see Lily so badly, he did not know. But she never did anything without a good reason. And Reyna...that she-elf was going to be trouble.
Close your eyes and begin to breathe
Something is coming over me
Lost to find and a soul to keep
'Cause you love me...
Lily was lost in ecstasy. Just when she thought she was going to come back down from heaven, Legolas sent her flying back to it. "I love you so much," Lily said in a choked voice as she leaned against the elf beneath her. Legolas kissed her and wrapped his arms around her, crushing his lips to her's. "Never leave me," he whispered, kissing her cheeks, eyes, chin and lips. "I'll never leave you," Lily promised, her hands roaming his chest before becoming entangled in his hair. "Promise me," Legolas rasped. "I promise."
Give this one
On bended knee
Price to pay
Please wait for me
A trial by fire
A setting sun
A love I've won...
Reyna paced her room impatiently. Where was Legolas? He couldn't possibly still be asleep! It was nearly noon! "Stupid, insolent prince," she hissed to herself. How was she supposed to win over the prince and secure herself a kingdom if he was nowhere to be found? 'I know where to find him. He's with that bitch Lily! What does that stupid mortal have that I don't? I know I'm more attractive then her! I'm the same race as him for Eru's sake! He'd be a fool not to choose me as his bride!' But despite what she told herself, she couldn't help but feel worried. Lily was a hero. While she would die someday, her memory would live on forever. Letting out a shout of rage, Reyna grabbed a chair and hurled it across the room. "STUPID MORTAL!"
Close your eyes and begin to breathe
Something is coming over me
Lost to find and a soul to keep
'Cause you love me...
As the day wore on and night came once again, Legolas collapsed onto his forearms, panting. Opening his eyes, he gazed at the woman beneath him. They were both damp with sweat, but neither cared. Legolas pushed himself up a bit and brushed the wet hair away from her face. His blue eyes roamed her face, memorizing every curve and inch of skin. Her gray eyes full of love yet showed her exhaustion. She held the glow and look of a woman who had been tenderly and thoroughly loved. "You are so beautiful, Aratoamin." Lily smiled at the nickname and lifted her head to kiss him. He kissed her forehead, than rolled onto his side and pulled her into his arms. "Sleep, melamin." Lily snuggled into his embrace and buried her face in his chest. "Please be here when I wake up," she pleaded in a small voice. Legolas ran his fingers through her hair. "I won't leave your side," he promised. Satisfied, Lily closed her eyes and allowed herself to sleep. Legolas watched her sleep for a while, than fell into a peaceful slumber.
Inside I wait
Inside I wait
Close your eyes and begin to breathe
Something is coming over me
Lost to find and a soul to keep
'Cause you love me...
