Disclaimer Do I Really Have To?

No I do not have a Beta, don't even know what that is as a matter of fact. I am aware that there are hundreds apone hundreds of spelling errors and soon I think I am just going to quite this story because of them. But I will try to review the chapter more and more. I am so sorry to you; truly I am and would understand if you never read this story again. ( I am so glad to hear that at least you enjoy it. As I said before, I will try as hard as I can to re-read the chapters or get a Beta, if I figure out what one of those are. Its just, between Lacrosse practice, Soccer practice, Barrel racing, Archery tournaments, my dad, my mom, the dog shows and my actual "alone" time, I have no time!!!! If any of that makes since. Well again thank you for making me smile ( and I hope that you continue to read. Thank you.

Haldir's Heart & Soul I do not have a Beta. Don't know what one is, actually. When you say "some" spelling errors, do you mean "A whole freakin' lot"? As I told my only other reviewer, I am going to try my hardest to either get a Beta or re- read the chapters, its really hard though when your parents want you to be a perfect human and excel at all the sports they have throne you in and to maintain your own life as well. That's partially why I am even sticking with this story, it helps me get away from the real world, but lately it hasn't even been doing that. ( So as I said I shall try, for you, to get the spelling errors out, perhaps I should just quite while I'm ahead, feed back shall tell me what to do. Till next time! (

Well enough with the "Oh-Whoa-Is-Me"

The ending of a good week

It had been a week since Haldir and Naomie had begun their patrol, and all too soon Naomie had to leave. Haldir smiled as he watched Rumil and Naomie fence. This last week had been wonderful. Haldir had done the best he could to learn everything about the princess. At the end of this week he knew everything, even the she elf's favorite color. She never spoke of her past but Haldir never pried much into it for if she told of her sad story, would that not mean Haldir was entitled to tell her his? They had become very good friends, more so the last few days than any. The only one who did not like this idea much was Orphin. But Haldir did not care much, he had always taken into affect his brothers say but this time he knew that Orphin was wrong. The sun was setting quickly when Haldir and Naomie made their way back to 'Lorien. They road most of the journey in silence. On this journey they had not crossed the river by bridge but by horseback, Naomie had preferred that much better. As Haldir looked at Naomie as she road in front of him, the question that Orphin had brought up surfaced itself back into Haldir's mind. What could she see in him? He wondered. As they neared the city a horse came charging up to them. Haldir groaned as he saw Vanity bring her horse to a canter.

"Your back! My love is back!" she yelled as she urged her horse passed Naomie.

Naomie's eyes widened as Vanity threw herself into Haldir's arms.

"Get off of me!" Haldir growled as he watched Naomie ride away. Pushing Vanity away, Haldir gave her a stricken glare.

"Has she taken my please?" Vanity pouted.

"You never had a place. Nor does she. Naomie is a very close friend, that is all." Haldir said as he urged his horse onward leaving Vanity to glare at the back of his head.

"Does not have a place? We shall see, Haldir." She growled before ridding off.

Haldir looked for Naomie everywhere but she was nowhere to be found. Haldir softly knocked on her bedroom door.

"Come in." Naomie said.

As Haldir did his eyes were met by total darkness. Naomie stood on the balcony staring up at the moon.

"Hello, Haldir." She said in a soft voice.

"Naomie I ..." Haldir began only to be silenced with her icy gaze.

"Do not bother. I should have known there was another. I do not know why I did not think of that before when she warned me." Naomie said in the softest tone yet.

"But you do not understand! She is not anything! She is not what you think." He told her.

"How can I trust you?" was all the she elf said.

"You can't but I swear! As I said before ... I do not ... cannot ... have a relationship at this point in time. But I find myself having one with you all at the same time." Haldir said in a confused tone.

"I do not know what to think anymore." Naomie said looking away.

Haldir put his hand on her chin and raised it up to look at him as their eyes met the March Warden saw tears that were restrained within her own.

"I swear by my own life ... I do not wish to hurt you. I feel nothing for Vanity. Nothing." Haldir pleaded.

Naomie closed her eyes and swallowed readying herself to say something. When she finally opened her eyes the tears were gone.

"I do not doubt that, but I still do not know if I can trust you. Haldir, you are a March Warden. I know that you have access to any she elf that you would like. There will always be doubt in my mind. I am sorry." She said.

Haldir felt the heat of his anger swell. "Why can you not trust me!?" Haldir yelled, pushing the princess harder than he had intended to. The force of the push sent Naomie stumbling back but she caught herself on the railing of the balcony. She glared at him clearly taken aback.

"What is wrong with you?" she yelled.

"Well ... why cant you trust me!?" he yelled back.

"It is not that I do not! It is just that I can not." Naomie said, her voice the opposite of Haldir's and barely above a whisper.

"Why cant you?" Haldir growled as he came towards her. She cowered into the corner of the balcony. When Naomie gave no answer Haldir pushed her up against the corner and put his hands on Naomie's shoulders. Leaning with all his weight Haldir towered over the elf.

"I will ask you again, why can you not trust me?" he growled. Naomie let out a snuffled sob but remained silent.

When Naomie did not speak for a second time Haldir raised his hand. He watched as Naomie's eyes widened.

"Tell me! I must know." Haldir yelled.

"I do not know what to say. I do but then I should not." Naomie pleaded realizing if Haldir was to hit her he would more than certainly break her nose.

Haldir snorted. "Stop answering me with riddles." He hissed.

"I do not know what you wish me to say." She cried.

With a hiss Haldir brought his hand down. Naomie took a sharp intake of breath and closed her eyes. Haldir stopped inches away from his hands target. He looked down at the cowering she elf. He did not know what he had almost done. Pictures of Haldir's father erupted in his mind. He had become all that he had tried to get away from. Haldir quickly moved away and left Naomie to her own thoughts.

That I all for now. No more chapters, I think, until I get feedback or I get out of my upset mood. I should have the next chapter either up by tomorrow or Monday. I am going on a trip starting Thursday and will not be close to a computer until Monday or Sunday night. So review, but please no flames. I'm already upset enough. P.S. spelling get any better, I actually checked it.
