Jade had tried talking to Legolas about what he saw but everytime she sought him out he would run ahead or talk to Aaragorn instead. When night fell and everyone was asleep Jade waited by the fire for Legolas like she always did. After an hour of waiting she looked and saw Legolas sitting at the other end of the camp.
As Jade walked up to Legolas she felt him stiffen. "What do you want." Legolas sneered. "To explain what you saw" "There's not much to explain. You let Haldir kiss you which means you didn't feel what I felt when we kissed." Legolas got up but didn't turn around. "Legs no I didn't even know he was going to kiss me and I pulled away because I absolutely hated it and he did too." Jade went to touch him but Legolas pulled away.
"Leave me alone Lady Jade. And don't call me that. It's not proper." And with that Legolas left. Over the course of the next few weeks Legolas kept avoiding Jade even when she tried to help him grieve for Boromir, Even when she tried rejoicing with him when Gandalf came back. And now as they're preparing for war at Helms Deep he only talks to her when he gives her a command.
"Lass what's wrong? You look pale and your hair is going limp." Gimli asked. "Aye I've noticed it as well my friend. Are you sure you can fight?" Aaragorn asked. "I'm fine guys, I'm just a little under the weather I can fight." Jade said. "She probably misses her beloved. She'll get over it." Legolas said fiddling with his arrows. "I don't have a beloved Legolas. I don't even consider Haldir as a friend after he ruined our friendship. Like I said before kissing him was awful, it felt as though I kissed an orc." Aaragorn snickered until Haldir spoke.
"And I return the feelings my Lady. I actually found my beloved the day you left. Maybe you're fading because of a different reason?" Jade looked confused. "Fading? But I haven't found my beloved let alone lost him." "My lady you have, Elves don't get sick." Haldir said before walking off. Legolas looked at Jade who stood in shock. "Have you kissed any other Lady Jade?" He asked. "No... Just you and Haldir." Jade said before walking to her post.
Jade fought for her life at every turn. Orc after Orc, she fought when the wall started to fall and she fought even when she got shot in the shoulder with an arrow. She was grabbed from behind and an orc spoke to her. "Today is the day you die she-elf" "You think I care? I've lost my beloved, an honourable death is better than fading away into nothingness." Before the blow hit her she fell to the ground and Haldir picked her up. "He's in danger GO NOW!" He screamed at her.
Jade found Legolas fighting of a small army of orcs protecting Gimli. She jumped down in front of Legolas as he was distracted getting his blade out of an orc skull and fought off the last of them. She turned to face him and before she could speak to him she was shot in the same shoulder and she fell to the ground.
Before Jade blacked out she saw Legolas above her. "I... I love you, Legolas." and then nothing but black enveloped her.
