A/N: Ducks all food being thrown at her, I'm sorry I've been so busy. Please read and review.
She felt nothing anymore.
Not the hardness of the stone floor, nor the sting of the whips, nor the brutal hands or the iron cuffs. She was numb. Her mind blocked out the mocking laughter and the cruel taunts. She could no longer see their evil faces twisted in pleasure as the took her again and again, no longer see the blood that stained every part of her body, no longer see her beloved's face in her minds eye. She was surrounded by brillant white and she was safe, safe from everything that could hurt her. Her soul was slowly fleeing her body and she didn't care.
She didn't notice when the dragged her tortured body from it's dank prison, didn't noticed when she was placed on their leader's makeshift bed, didn't notice when he approched her grinning softly.
I can't see him anymore. I wish I could have seen him again.
He was consumed by fire. Burning raging fire that threatened to consume his soul as he killed one evil creation after the other. He turned to see his men close behind him, they had stumbled on the bastards who had took her more by luck than skill and he praised whichever god had gave him this luck. Narrowly avoiding a sword aimed for his neck he charged up the hill towards the cave, his men hot at his heels, letting out a cry of pure rage
Please let her be alive, Elbereth
She could feel herself being dragged out of her safe haven by the sounds of sword on sword, dimly her mind registered a farmiliar battle cry, then she relapsed back to the safe whiteness.
He barely stopped to realise that all his enemy were dead, including the leader who he himself had personally slew, before rushing into the cave. Horrifed eyes lit upon the bundle on the bed and a cry of pure anguish was released. Skidding to the side of the makeshift bed he gathered up the bloody maid into his arms.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
She felt a dim shard of annoyance as her haven was broken, but it soon disappered, here there was nothing.
Wait, I know that voice.
She struggled to emerge from her hazy stuppor, but she was so tired...so tired.
He cradled her broken body gently to his chest, stroking the matted hair softly, rocking her back and forth.
"I'm here love, I'm here, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he whispered.
Her eyes flew open, then closed again in the harsh light of day. Slowly she opened them again... and saw a face she never hoped she would see again.
"Beloved?" her voice was softer than a whisper, hoarse from torture.
His head shot up to reveal the tears that poured down his cheeks.
"I'm here, don't worry everything is well, you will get better, we will be together and..." he was cut off as she slowly, and with a great amount of effort, lifted her hand to his lips.
"I'm glad...I...got to...see you... one...last...time," her voice was interupted by racking coughs. She could feel herself being dragged back into that comforting whiteness, it was taking all her willpower to stay awake
"No," he shook his head in denial, "You will live," he cried softly.
She gave him a wan smile, "I will...always...be...with you"
He lowered his head to hers as he saw the light slipping from her eyes and began to sing a favourite song of hers.
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-diriel
o galadhremmin ennorath
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!
She gave him a last small smile before the light disappeared from her eyes.
He screamed.
