Epilogue

A month passed since Elladan first awoken to find his brother alive once more. During that time, the two were never separated. Elladan refused to sleep on his own and would often awaken in the night screaming from the memories still plaguing him. Elrohir would be there to calm him and reassure him he was alright.

One sunny afternoon, Elladan was having a relapse of guilt and was found cradling his knees crying and hyperventilating. Elrohir raced to his side and forced him to look at him. "Dan, look at me. What is wrong?"

Elladan tried to look away from his brother but was unable to. "Why? Why do you all forgive me after what I did to you? I killed you and yet you still love me and forgive me! I am nothing but a monster who doesn't deserve your forgiveness."

"Stop it!" Elrohir said his voice sounding harsher than he meant it to. Elladan looked at him shrinking back. "It is time you stop beating yourself up for this. What happened was not your fault." Elladan started to interrupt, but Elrohir held his hand up. "Yes, it was by your hand I was slain, BUT you were under the effects of poison and not in your right mind. Elladan, I forgave you because you are my brother and I love you. WE forgive you because you are family and you are worth loving and forgiving. I have accepted what happened a long time ago and it is time you do the same and move on. You are not a monster. You are my brother, and nothing you can do will ever change that. Please, forgive yourself so you can heal."

Elladan wiped his eyes and nodded. "I do not know if I can forgive myself. Not yet, but I promise I will try to, and I will attempt to move on. Just promise me something?"

Elrohir smiled. "What is it?"

"Promise you will never leave me and you will be here by my side the whole way helping me through this."

"Try to keep me away, Elladan," Elrohir smirked before helping his brother to his feet. When Elladan stood, he took his other half's hand and from that day forward, Elladan started to heal.
