Before anyone could do anything they heard a horn and a group of fifteen guards and Halamar entered the room and started grabbing everyone.

Then the guards took their hostages out of the room and locked them up.

"Who is in charge here?" Thranduil asked the group of guards that had returned.

All of the guards looked at Halamar.

Thranduil raised an eyebrow. "I'm impressed. I didn't expect that from a head healer." He said.

"I don't know how to thank you." Legolas said.

"Thank me by coming back to the healers." Halamar said. "Elanil I'm terribly sorry we accused you. I'm sorry I accused you."

"It's alright. I didn't know she swapped out with me until I was brought here. Could I get back to work now?" Elanil asked.

"Yes." Halamar replied.

Once back to the healers Legolas walked over to Aliya's bed. Her eyes were still closed, her breathing was slow.

Legolas sat down on the edge of her bed and put his face in his hands.

"Goheno nin meleth nín (Forgive me my love). This is all my fault." Legolas whispered.

Legolas felt someone's hand running through his hair. He turned and saw Aliya propped up with one arm looking at him.

Aliya POV

Aliya was awake and laying in bed with her eyes shut when she heard someone come in and sit at the edge of her bed. She didn't know who it was until the person spoke.

"Goheno nin meleth nín (Forgive me my love). This is all my fault." The person whispered.

Aliya opened her eyes and looked at Legolas.

"What do you mean this is all your fault. What happened to me?" Aliya asked.

Legolas sighed and took her hand that was in his hair into his own hand.

"You were poisoned by Ava. She was an old friend of mine. She wanted you dead so she could marry me. She got taken away and locked up. I never wanted to marry her." Legolas said. "This would never have happened if I never became friends with her long ago."

"Legolas this isn't your fault. You had no idea she was going to grow up to become the crazy elleth she is now." Aliya reassured him.

"I know." Legolas said.

Aliya studied Legolas for a moment. He looked troubled.

"What's wrong?"

Legolas looked over at Aliya.

"Do you remember what the guard told you about how I got injured?"

Aliya nodded.

"That wasn't true. I got injured when you were being taken away. I got distracted when you got hurt and that's when I got hurt."

Aliya couldn't believe it. She was the reason he almost died. She was the reason he was struggling for his life. She was the cause of his injury.

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. You probably hate me for this." Aliya said, tearing up.

Legolas felt his heart break in two. She thought he hated her for this. She was blaming herself for his injury.

"No. This is not your fault. I don't hate you. Le melina. Le uivelin (I love you. I will always love you)."

"I love you too."

"I better get going, it's getting pretty late. Halamar cleared me so now I can get back to my own room."

Aliya looked out the window. It was already dark out. Legolas then started to make his way out of the healers when someone stopped him.

"Legolas?" Aliya asked.

"Yes my love?" He asked.

"Will you stay?"

Legolas smiled.

"Of course I will."

Legolas knew Aliya had had a pretty rough day and was probably pretty freaked out that someone wanted to attack her.

Legolas walked over and sat down on top of the bed next to Aliya. Then he moved himself to the center and leaned up against the headboard. Legolas moved Aliya into his lap and she curled up, resting her head on his chest. Legolas leaned back slightly so then he wasn't sitting straight up then he kissed Aliya on the cheek, wrapping his arms protectively around her and closed his eyes.
