The Good
The next morning found Haldir passing back and forth on his balcony. His mind was on only one thing... wither or not to apologize to Naomie. Galadriel had basically flat out ordered him to do it yet Haldir was not so shore he wanted to. His pride told him not to and his heart screeched at him to. Then he remembered how she had looked deep into his eyes .... As if she was staring right into his soul. There were no lies in those deep pools of silver. It was in that moment that Haldir realized that he had already made up his mind even before he had left her room that night.
Turning Haldir quickly dressed in his customary black tunic and leggings and quickly rushed to his door, forgetting to pull his hair back leaving it dangling all around him. Walking calmly to Naomie's door, he hesitated. This was his last chance to turn and leave. But then Haldir's hand betrayed him and knocked on the hard wood.
"Enter." A quiet voice came from within.
Haldir burst through the door with a little too much anticipation, sending the double doors right into the gigantic bookshelves that lay behind them. (Oops) Looking around Haldir saw that the balcony door was open. Moving to the door to the outside balcony, Haldir knocked on the doorframe.
The princess was dressed in a long black and white gown with no sleeves and stood leaning over the balcony staring down the tree to the ground below. Her flowing silver and dark brown hair drifted about her shoulders as a soft breeze rippled through the trees.
"You may come out here, March Warden." She said indifferently, not turning.
Haldir walked out and stood next to her. She never once stole a glance his way, only kept staring out at the beauty around them. Her eyes were distant and clouded with tiredness, sorrow, and tears. The two stood there for what seemed like eternity. Neither dared to speak, both waiting for the other to say something. Haldir stood trying to figure out what it was he wished to say. Never before had he had trouble talking to she elves, after all they all crowded around him, but this one was different. Somehow on the same level that he was. That was what made it hard.
Clearing his throat, Haldir began to speak, "Naomie, I came here to tell you ... something." He began to try to master the word but Naomie stopped him with a small sobbing noise.
"That is good, for I need to tell you something, as well." She whispered.
"Well ... you can go first. I suppose." Haldir said.
"No, it is alright ... you may go first." Naomie said.
"No, by all means, you may go first." Haldir said.
"No you can go." Naomie said in a louder voice.
"No, you should go, after all "Lady's First"" Haldir responded.
"Well you are the March Warden of O' 'Lorien and have more power over me ... remember? So as such you should go first." She said.
"Well when I said that you had not told me that you were a princess, nor the fact that Celeborn was truly your uncle. So as such being a princess ... you must go first." Haldir growled.
They both glared at each other.
"No" Naomie simply said.
"Yes." Haldir hissed.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
At this point both were rather testy and glaring daggers at the other.
"Fine. I shall be the better one and go first." Haldir huffed.
"Oh no you will not, I shall." Naomie said calmly.
"No." Haldir growled.
"Yes." Naomie said.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
They both glared.
"Fine." They both said. "You go first." They finished.
They both sighed and glared at each other.
"I will go first." Haldir said finally.
"Go ahead." Naomie growled as she turned and went back to staring out over 'Lorien.
The morning was a cold one and although it was the middle of winter it began to rain softly. By now Haldir found himself a bit soaked and Naomie stood with her hair glistening with freezing water. Thunder sounded every once in a while as lightning lit the whole forest in great blue-white light. The sun refused to shine and Haldir stood there for a long moment just listening to the rain fall on the marble balcony, glaring at the figure next to him.
Naomie then rounded on him.
"I though that you said that you needed to say something?" she growled.
Haldir changed his mind all of the sudden.
"I do not wish to say it anymore." He stated flatly.
"Fine. However I still wish to tell you what I was going to say. And that was I am sorry." The she elf whispered.
Haldir stared at her for what seemed like hours.
"You what?" he managed to ask.
"I said that I was sorry, you know ... apologetic: feeling or expressing regret for an action that has upset or inconvenienced somebody, or for a similar future action, or perhaps you do not under stand that word." She said loudly.
Haldir took a step towards her but Naomie baked away from him. Haldir became a little angry and agitated when he tried again, and again she stepped away.
"What is wrong with you?" Haldir growled as he tried a third time and again she backed away.
"I ... I ..." she stammered.
"Yes? You what?" Haldir said, his tone dangerously quiet.
Haldir stood there glaring at her. She just stood staring out as the rain poured all the more harder down on them. The rain did nothing to improve Haldir's mood, now not only was he mad, he was also soaked and freezing.
"Speak!" he yelled, his voice echoing eerily.
She turned from him entirely and walked to the other side of the white balcony. As she did this Haldir became infuriated. Striding over to her he grabbed her shoulders and spun her around to face him. Her eyes flashed with anger and fear all at the same time.
"What ... is ... wrong ... with ...you?" he whispered. His voice was dripping with venom.
The she elf quickly wriggled out of his grip and stumbled back.
"I'm Sorry!!" she screamed as tears mixed with rain.
She then turned and sank down to the floorboards. Haldir stood there watching as Naomie stared at him softly and then looked away. Quickly getting over his anger, Haldir ran over to her and kneeled next to her. He then opened his arms hesitantly and held her tight. Grasping his tunic in her hands, Naomie sat there just staring with cold tears draining down her face. Haldir rocked her in his arms as lightning struck and the rain began to come down in sheets.
Tried hard not to show it, But I couldn't help but see that you wore your broken heart out on your sleeve. And your loneliness could not disguise the beauty and the charm, Though if I ever get you, Shattered lady, In my arms ... I'm gonna rock you baby to sleep. I'm gonna make you crazy over me. I wanna hold you like you never been held before, And love you till you tell me you can't love anymore. I'm gonna shake your emotions right down to your soul. And then I'm gonna love you all over in and out of control. If this is how love is supposed to feel ... Baby I know I have fallen head over heels. Gonna rock you baby.
Haldir laid his cheek on hers to shield her face from the hard rain.
"What do you have to be sorry about?" he asked in a soft tone.
"Whatever I did last night." She whispered.
"You did nothing. But what are your running from?" Haldir asked.
"Everything. Every time I allow my feelings to show the ones who I love ... they always get hurt. And anyway I have only known you for three days." Naomie said into his cheek.
"I just do not want you to be hurt like all the others." She cried.
"I will not be. Nothing is going to happen. And you have now known me for four." Haldir ashore her.
It was then that Haldir wished that he had not been so hard and heartless to her only a few moments before. The rain poured down so hard now that 'Lorien was only smudgy and undistinguishable blue and white lights. Haldir quickly picked Naomie up and brought her inside. He turned with her still tightly held in his arms and closed the doors. He then moved to the bed and laid her down in it. He looked deep into her eyes and smiled.
"You should not be sorry. Nothing has been your fault." He told her. She just nodded and closed her eyes.
"I need to go change, I shall be back in only a few moments. Is there anything you would like?" he asked reaching the bedroom door.
"Water perhaps some limbas." She said sitting up.
"You shall have both." He said, and with that turned and was gone.
Naomie got up and took time to quickly change into her long deep blue and burgundy robes. Sitting down she suddenly realized how tired she was. The princess had stayed up all night worrying about Haldir. She had debated about going to him after her uncle had spoke to her but decided against it. Lying back on the bed, Naomie closed her eyes.
Haldir moved quickly into his rooms. He threw on a red tunic and black leggings and through on his black over tunic. He then went down to the kitchens to retrieve the princess what she had asked for.
There it is! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
The song that I used, was Toby Keith's "Rock You Baby" that is on the "Unleashed" album.
See you next time!
