Author's note: Sorry if I hadn't updated for awhile. But I have been busy working and hadn't been feeling good either.

Aragorn: Hello, Elena. It is good to see you again.

Legolas: Yeah, we missed you so much.

Me: Umm, Boromir, why is Sirius running around the room like crazy trying to catch his tail.

Boromir: Because dum-dum Jack Sparrow gave him some chocolate.

Me: What! Doesn't he know that chocolate is poisonous to dogs!

Sirius Black: Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger. Mushroom, Mushroom.

Phantom of the Opera: Clearly it's not fazing him.

Captain Jack Sparrow; sweat drops Umm, Elena, why are giving me that I am going beat you to an inch of you life look?

Me: Because Sirius will drive everyone crazy for almost 2 days until his hyper ness wears off.

Sirius Black: Singing off key. How much is that doggie in the window? Woof, Woof! That one with the waggily tail?

Legolas: Oh brother!

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Lord of the Rings. Oh what a cruel world! Also I don't own the song Remember When It Rained by Josh Groban, somehow I thought the song fit the story. And when Aragorn sings about love, he means love for a friend, no slash. Read and review, no flames.

Chapter Four A Fading Light.

The sounds of Legolas gasping for breath woke Aragorn with a start. Oh Valar, he thought, did the elf get worse while he was asleep? He instantly went to his friend's side, trying to hold him up to ease his breathing. But he then noticed that Legolas had a hand around his throat, he was chocking. Panicked Aragorn went to take Legolas's hand down when he noticed to his horror blood oozing between the elf's fingers. He couldn't understand, did something attack Legolas during the time that he slept and he didn't know about it? But if that was the case why didn't the others get attacked too? Desperate to find out he gently pried Legolas's fingers from around his throat. Aragorn's eyes widened in fear when he saw two deep holes in the elf's neck, blood still oozing from them. Who dared to attack the elf while everyone was asleep? Suddenly he heard Legolas trying to gasp out something in elfish. At first he didn't understand what the elf was saying, but after a few attempts he knew that the elf was saying something about being cold and demons. Then before the ranger could do anything, Legolas's eyes rolled back into his head and he started to convulse. Right then Aragorn knew that this was beyond his help, he had to get Gandalf. He went over to the sleeping wizard and shook him gently.

"Gandalf, I need your help." The wizard was about to ask Aragorn what was wrong, but when he saw Legolas convulsing on the ground he immediately went over to the sick elf's side. A look of concern and worry came over his face.

"It has begun." He said.

"What do you mean?" asked Aragorn.

"Did Legolas ever tell you about his brother?"

"Yes, a long time ago." Said Aragorn. "He said that he died but he never told me how."

"His brother was killed by ice demons. Fearsome creatures, they can appear and reappear before you know it. One bit Legolas too, as you can tell."

"But how come Legolas survived and his brother didn't?"

"That I do not know. But if we don't do something now, we will loose Legolas too." Aragorn gasped. No, he thought, we can't loose him. Not like this. Legolas started gasping for breath again and Gandalf put a kind hand on Legolas's brow.

"Shh, my friend, don't be frightened. I am here to help you." He muttered some words which started to calm Legolas down a bit, thought the fever was still raging inside his body. Aragorn again took a cool cloth and put it on his friend's forehead. Tears fell from his eyes, why was his friend being tormented like this? If he could he would willingly go through this torment himself if it meant that his friend would be in no more pain. The elf kept muttering words in elfish, slowly going in and out of conscience.

"I wish there something more I could do Gandalf." Then he suddenly thought of it, he would sing. He closed his eyes and let the words of the song rush over him.

Wash away the thoughts inside, that keep my mind away from you. No more love and no more pride. And thoughts are all I have to do. Remember when it rained, I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name. Remember when it rained, in the darkness I remain.

Tears of hope run down my skin. Tears for you that will not dry. They magnify the one within, and let the outside slowly die. Remember when it rained, I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name. Remember when it rained, in the water I remain, running down. After the final word left his lips he looked into his friend's eyes, hoping to see a sense of calm and peace into him, instead he saw Legolas's eyes starting to glaze over, and the light leaving them. His heart sank with this realization, Legolas was fading.
