Disclaimer- I own nothing!
A/N I was just thinking about how there will be no more LOTR movies and I got kinda sad today L lol. So I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but I have not given up on this story! BTW, Arwen is in this chap for a bit, if she gets a little OOC I'm sorry…I just really hate her with a passion. This chap gets angsty and is basically mostly dialog but please, bear with me people.
On with the chap!
"Legolas, please Mellon eat something. Even an elf cannot last without nourishment forever." Haldir begged the pale form. In just two weeks, Legolas had gone from a fitfully slender, healthy, attractive elf to a gaunt sunken lifeless form that barely moved or spoke. Legolas weakly shook his head and turned to look out the window towards the west.
"Legolas do not look towards the west yet," Haldir pleaded, "It is not yet your time to sail, and you still have so much left to give."
"So much to give, yet what do I receive? There is nothing for me here Haldir." Legolas croaked.
"I am here for you," Haldir's voice cracked as he looked on at the lifeless form of his friend, it was as if he had just given up.
"Do not fear Haldir I will not set sail." Haldir breathed a sigh of relief at his friend's words. "It is too late for me to set sail." Haldir looked confused.
"What is this nonsense you speak of Legolas?"
"I fade Haldir," Legolas whispered.
Haldir gasped in surprise, and for the first time noticed the lack of glow around his love. His tangled blond hair lay in knots at his shoulders, and his blue/violet eyes lacked their luster and shine. In fact, they were glazed over in pain.
"Do not speak of such things Legolas," Haldir nervously laughed. "You are just grieving, you will get better soon and we will move somewhere completely new. Someplace away from all of this where we can start fresh, and painful memories will not haunt us."
"It is not that simple Haldir," Legolas tried to explain, but it seemed like even these few words were taxing. "My heart is breaking."
"You cannot just give up Legolas," Haldir pleaded, running a hand over his friend's hair to smooth it. "I love you."
"I am sorry my friend," Legolas gasped a shuddering breath before closing his eyes.
(Scene Break)
"Aragorn!" Arwen cried rushing to her beloved's side.
"Arwen, what brings you to Lorien?" Aragorn asked surprise etched into his features with traces or worry.
"I've come to visit you. We've been apart so often lately that I decided we needed a little more alone time, and what place is more romantic then Lorien?" When Aragorn did not respond right away Arwen's mouth formed itself into a delicate frown. "Are you not glad to see me?"
"No meleth, of course I am glad to see you. I'm just a little surprised is all." Aragorn smiled a reassuring smile as he pulled Arwen into a secure embrace. After they broke apart Arwen frowned again and ran her hand over Aragorn's creased brow.
"What is it Estel?" She asked a look of concern flashing across her face. "You seem burdened." Before Aragorn could answer, the door to their talon flew open and an enraged Haldir stormed in. Although Haldir's temper was hotter then most elves, and his demeanor arrogant, he usually had good control over his emotions as all elves did, but this was something entirely different. His white blond hair flew out behind him, and his eyes shone in a wild rage. He stormed right up to Aragorn and wrapped a hand around his throat, pinning him against the wall.
"Haldir Daro! Haldir stop" Arwen shrieked, attempting to pull him off. "Seas Haldir, tortha yo rûth! please Haldir control your anger"
"Deleb echil! Loathsome human" Haldir spat, throwing him to the ground.
"Haldir please," Aragorn coughed in an attempt to catch his breath. "What is this about?"
"He fades Aragorn!" Haldir hissed, advancing on him again.
"Who fades?" Arwen asked, genuinely confused.
This extracted a bitter laugh from Haldir. "She does not know? No, of course she doesn't you filthy human. Should you tell her or should I?"
"Haldir, let us go speak in private," Aragorn said, trying to usher the elf into a different room.
"I think what you have to say can be said in front of your lady," Haldir said, bowing sarcastically to the both of them.
"Who is fading?" Arwen asked. "What is it you two are speaking of?"
"Oh, it is quite a tale my lady full of romance and intrigue. It is Legolas who fades your fiancés closest friend and lover."
Arwen gasped and Aragorn winced.
"Your what?" Arwen asked her face white with shock and suppressed anger.
"His l-o-v-e-r or, did you not hear me correctly?" Haldir asked.
"You had a lover Estel? You had a lover!" Arwen screeched.
"Arwen please," Aragorn said softly, touching her shoulder, "Legolas means nothing to me that way."
"How wonderful to hear you say that about your dieing best friend." Haldir mimicked cruelly.
"Dieing?" Aragorn blanched.
"Dieing, fading, he won't be among the living anymore!" Haldir shouted, advancing towards Aragorn again.
"I must go to him," Aragorn declared, grabbing his cloak.
"Excuse me?" Arwen asked, her voice betraying quiet rage. "Your lover is in trouble and you leave your fiancé! I forbid you from going to him Aragorn. In fact, I forbid you from seeing Legolas ever again!"
"Arwen," Aragorn pleaded quickly "I know it was wrong to betray you but, I cannot just let Legolas die, I must save him somehow."
"How do you expect to save him? If he is truly fading only some sort of promise from your loved one can stop him." Arwen tried to reason.
"I know, I know, I know not what I am to do but I must do something!" Aragorn said, turning to go.
"Aragorn Telcontar! Do not walk out that door!" Arwen screeched. Aragorn halted for a moment.
"I'm sorry meleth," He finally whispered. "But I cannot let him die." And with that, Aragorn left.
Ahh I know it sucks and it's short, but next chap lots of A/L and fluff! I promise! Don't give up on me yet!
