A/N: OMG I AM SORRY WITH ALL OF MY HEART!!! I have suffered from some kind of writers block syndrome, and I don't seem to be getting ANYWHERE. I just thought that you all ought to know, because I thought that someone would kill me. *shies away from knife* Orli, I have so conveniently sat in front of the TV and he's obsessed with watching Disney channel.

Orli: Shhh! Kim Possible is on now!

Me: and his favorite is Kim Possible for reasons unknown to me.

Orli: SHHH!!!

Me: And here's the chapter.

Chapter Fourteen: Just One Thing.

The days remaining until Fanya and Legolas reached Gondor were slowly fading.

As they stopped for the night, Fanya dismounted and leaned against a tree. 'How did it come to this?' Fanya asked herself on the last day, just as the sun set behind the hill. She could see Minas Tirith in the distance with her sharp eyes. 'Why is it when something good in my life happens, it is always snatched away from me?'

Legolas lit the fire, and beckoned her towards him. She smiled shyly and complied. She settled himself in Legolas' arms; it seemed to be a perfect mold to her body.

She sighed and closed her eyes, her heart content with just hearing his steady heartbeat. Legolas' arms were wrapped around her in a comforting way, which made her feel safe. She let her head rest in the crook of his neck, oblivious to everything in the world.

-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-

Legolas closed his eyes as Fanya settled herself beside him. He decided he would ask one of the many burning questions.

"Fanya...?" he murmured into her hair.

"Uma?" she replied, looking up into his eyes.

"I do not know much about you, yet I desire to." He said slowly, trying to not offend her. "What of your past? Your family? Your life?"

Suddenly, she tore her eyes away from his and gazed at the White City. There were small tears welling up in her eyes, yet she struggled to keep them from falling. "Legolas, you will know when the time comes. 'Tis not important. Not now."

"Very well. I can wait." He replied, planting a chase kiss on her forehead.

-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-

'Ai, Illuvatar, why does he have to ask that question?' Fanya thought. She averted her eyes, and gave a simple answer, telling him to wait.

Her mind spun off in a direction that she didn't want it to. She remembered what she was traveling to do, and how she would have to face her family once again.

Her mind was telling her that she couldn't do it, yet another smaller part of her head encouraged her to take the final step, and face her family once more.

When she finally allowed her gaze to wander back to Legolas, she found him staring at her. Every caring emotion was plainly readable in his eyes. His brown gaze made her melt, and she finally made a decision.

She would tell Legolas one thing. Just one.

"Legolas,' she said cautiously, "There is one thing that you can know..."

"Mani?" he said quickly.

She took a slow breath. "I am a peredhil."

"You're what?" Legolas gasped. Thousands of questions erupted in his mind.

"I'm a half-elf, my mother was Gondorian." She said, her voice full of shame. 'I knew he would take it this way...' she thought.

"Fanya, that is nothing to be ashamed of!" He said, seemingly sending her thought waves.

"Yes it is. My mother and father were not meant to be together." Tears had started working themselves out of her eyes. "They are of different races." She replied coldly, standing up sharply and turning away from him. Legolas quickly rose, and rushed around her. But she turned from him wherever he went.

"Fanya, stop." he finally was able to command.

She stopped moving away from him, which allowed him to position himself in front of her. Her gaze was directed at their feet; she was determined not to let him see her tear-stained face.

"Fanya," he told her surely, "You're parents, human or elf, were meant to be together, because you were meant to be here. You see?" He moved her head up to meet his gaze. He rubbed his thumbs on her cheeks, drying her tears. "Do you understand?" he whispered.

"Uma," was all she could reply, before Legolas pressed his lips against hers.

A/N: I know I know I know. I don't care about length, because I'm tired, I have school, and I needed to get a chapter up before people start complaining. I thought that you deserved something rather than nothing. Next chappy, Leggy leaves the pictures for a while, and Fanya meets up with her 'lil sis! Ooh joy!

Oh, by the way, I think I got a flame...not sure though. They told me they liked my story, but then they told me to get a life...hmm...how does that work out?

Review responses:

Brooke: Well, sorry about the delay! Thanks for dropping a review!

Darkness Eternal: That's ok, the little poem was enough diversity for one story! Lol!

Elerrina: Yes! Ooh goody romance! But guess what?! MORE romance, BETTER romance later! *cheers!*

P3gurl: Orli did nothing to make me feel better, he was just eating lucky charms *glares at him* But that's ok. I'm feeling better, and life has taken an upswing. Sort of. Writers block stinks though.

Crystal Snowflakes: OMG! I can't believe that you read my story! *rants on about how you should go read her fics* Thanks! I really like the review!

Blu-eyed-belle: Sure...you and orli...together... *rolls eyes* Lol, jk. I'm feeling much better, but Fanya isn't! She's beating herself up for something she can't change! Lol! Thanks for the review!

NHOI: Ah...the eternal, 'I-like-your-story-but-you're-stupid-and-you-should- get-a-life-person'. Tell me, was that a flame? If it was, I thought it was rather funny! Frankly, this is what I consider a good story, and that if you have something bad to say, then you can just read what other people said about it, and review then. I know that it's not the best piece of work that is out there, but it is some of the best work that I can put out. It you can't deal with that, then you shouldn't read or review my story.

YueMichiruNaragisawaMiko: Thanks! I hope that I can put out more in the future!

Digital-Tiffany: I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope that you liked the chappy!!! ^^

Inweofnargothrond: I'm getting there, I'm getting there! You know, all this criticism is good for me! Lol! I'm just not sure that in the near future there will be some major plot swing, because I'm honestly not feeling motivated.

Pottaluvva: Thanks, but I do try and make the chapters as long as my free time allows! Sorry about the shortie one though!

A/N: Mom will kill me more than you all will if I don't finish my homework, so I gotta leave now...

Orli: Make her not change the channel! Review!!!
