Chapter 11: Someone like you

Inwë sat looking at her food, Legolas watched her. She could feel his eyes on her. Olwë was the only one eating like everything was alright. Celebriän was the only woman there who would NOT be going to sail over the sea to the Haven's. The only sound in that dining hall was the sound of metal on Olwë's plate. Inwë looked to Arwen who looked like she'd be sick soon at just the thought of leaving.

"Lord Elrond may I please have leave," Inwë said her eyes disobeying her and straying to Legolas who had looked up at her.

"Yes," Elrond said clearing his throat as he looked up at the girl was biting her lip.

"Father may I be excuse," Arwen said looking down at her plate.

"Yes," he said sighing; everyone was leaving so early, "does anyone else want to leave while we're at it?"

"Yes, and thank you," buzzed around the room as they all got up trying to leave the awkward silence. Everyone went their own ways, Arwen to the bathroom, Aragorn to check on her, Celebriän and Éomer off to practice for the fight, Olwë stayed and ate some more, Éowyn and Fararmir went for a walk, Inwë went to go out into the forest while Legolas followed behind her. She was walking through the forest when she noticed a patch of black sand. She looked at it in marvel; it was rare to find black sand.

She thought of all the powerful potions she could make with this, explosive potions, smoke screen potions, and so much more. She slowly started to gather it and place it on her skirt and ran back to the castle losing Legolas. She asked one of the servants to bring lots of glass vials, and a large bowl. They did as she said and she dumped all the contents into the large bowl. She could make a lot of money selling the black sand, or had paid a lot of money to by some cause it was so rare. She decided to search for other plants, and objects she could use to experiment with. She heard a voice singing and decided to see who it was. She noticed Legolas walking through the forest singing softly.

(Sorry I can't put it in elvish right now, but later I shall if I find time… so imagine you understand elvish lol! Lucky ones you…)

"Cold to the touch, fire and ice, two different sides, I cannot decide.

I love her with my heart, or maybe my mind, either way, I cannot decide.

Her fury is passion, her passion is blinding, rendering me sightless, through all this bliss.

I can only touch her in my dreams, for I doubt she has even really seen me.

Her skin so pale, around her, my heart flails, and my words fail.

Her hair as brown as the leafs in the autumn, falling from the deep dark, mighty oak tree.

Her eyes, they're ice, and baby blue, the color of the cold sky, like a breath of December, freezing my heart so that it only is hers, but I know it guards her innocence.

She's a beauty from another world, a beauty I may never hold…" he didn't get to finish for he was interrupted.

"That was beautiful Legolas, who is she?" she asked feeling a little sad. He looked at her in surprise.

"Oh, Inwë, it was about… my mother… yeah about my mother," he said swallowing as she emerged from the sunlit trees.

"Well that was an interesting song then, I don't know of anyone who feels that way about their mothers, good day my lord," she said walking past him smiling slightly. He smiled looking down. He saw some flowers and picked them before running after her.

"These are for you," he said handing the flowers to her.

"Oh thank you," she smiled at him, and then kept walking.

"Are you still mad at me? You should know I told them you should get the choice," he said walking beside her.

"Well I am not mad at you, just disappointed. What are you doing right now anyways?" she said looking at the ground before pulling a lot of Kings Foil flowers out form the ground.

"Nothing, what are you doing?" he asked as she pulled the Kings Foil from the ground and kept walking.

"Looking for certain pants, I have a new creation I want to try, a couple of them at least…" she said gather flowers, plants, roots, and some water from the main water source in Rivendell.

"Why do you need that water?" he asked looking at her in surprise, "there is plenty of it back in Rivendell."

"I need fresh, un-tampered with water," she said looking at him with a smile. For hours and hours they looked around for the stuff she needed. She then gathered some regular sand from a pit of quicksand that she was careful not to fall into. They went back and went their separate ways. She started working on potions, while Legolas went to practice archery and gather her some beautiful smelling and looking flowers. All day Inwë sat creating potions that would be useful for those she began to love. Arwen walked in and smelt the horrible smell and plugged her nose.

"What are you doing Inwë?" Arwen said still holding her nose as she closed the door behind her.

"I am creating potions," Inwë said smiling as she threw some Djin juice into the boiling pot of ingredients.

"You know how to make potions? That is neat, can I help? What is in this pot here?" she said watching Inwë pour some flour into it.

"Pelarumus plant, Djin plant juice, sand, flour, and Buckleweed crushed," Inwë said finally adding the crushed Bucklweed. When it was done she poured the ingredients into ten small vials. She then put a cork inside all of them before cleaning the pot and adding different ingredience.

"What was the last one you made?" Arwen asked sitting down beside Inwë and crushing something Inwë wanted crushed.

"A smoke screen," she said adding ten pinches of black sand, cooking oil, watered down flour, and some Candanite stem, "it sends a big cloud of smoke giving you a chance to escape, they cannot see through it."

"And what is that you just made, it seemed simple," Arwen said as Inwë poured the content into ten vials.

"Simple, but effective and a great strategy... It explodes when you throw it onto the ground," Inwë said cleaning out the bowl again before starting more stuff. Hours later after the two of them worked on potions Inwë had a question, "do we have any water from Lorien?"

"No but we could get some, we can't cause we leave for the Haven's tomorrow," Arwen said pouring her contents into the vials. When they were done they set them on the shelf and went to fine their friends.

"Why have you called upon us, I was just in the middle of eating pie," Olwë said munching on some elven fruit.

"I want to show those of you who get to stay here something that could be helpful while you are out and about, while we are being sent to some island," Inwë said a little heatedly. Slowly Farothin made his way towards Inwë slowly walking towards her.

"If I had it my way you would not be leaving, Farothin said looking at her through deep eyes.

"As would we all, some more then you," Legolas said shooting a glare at the mortal who trespassed on what he thought of as 'his property'.

"Enough you two," Inwë said looking from one to the other. She softly pulled out vials full of liquid, paste, or powdery stuff. One after the other they all started to argue obviously frustrated with the human and the elf's bickering. Arwen looked to Inwë and sighed, no one was going to listen now that they all found a way to vent. Inwë pulled out a vial, Arwen caught a glimpse of it and knew what it was, slowly they separated and both threw down the vials away from the ground making a big BOOM scaring them all to death.

"What was that!" Aragorn said covering his head from the flying chunks of earth. Everyone looked at the charcoaled spot on the ground and then to each other.

"That was what we call, and explosive potion," Arwen said looking to Inwë and smiling. She had fun throwing down that explosive vial.

"How did you make it?" Éowyn said looking at the spot. Faramir bent down and observed it carefully.

"It really did explode, that would definitely be useful," Faramir said looking to Éomer.

"Indeed, it would," Éomer said crossing both arms as he thought about it, "we could catch our enemies off guard or even to destroy our enemy."

"What else do you have," Legolas said walking towards her in obvious amazement, "or was that it?"

"No we have more," Arwen said smiling at Aragorn who took her hand. They looked at the basket full of vials.

"Show us," Celebriän said obviously amazed by these wondrous devices. Inwë picked up a vial, a powdery substance swirled around.

"This here is a smoke screen, everyone back up," she said before throwing the device, smoke and powder spread everywhere making it hard to see, "this one here," she said holding another vial up, "is healing salve… the one I used to help your wound after you saved me from the orcs Legolas," she then placed it back down grabbing another one, "oh and this here is sleeping drought, it will make anyone not prepared for it, anyone who breathes it fall fast asleep for half an hour to an hour," she said putting the bottle down, "this here is truth potion, oh and this one here… is slippery road, I have a few more conctiouns I just need certain items to make them."

"What are they I will get them," Aragorn said assuring her and Arwen. Arwen took the basket from Inwë.

"I need Bucklin root, near Lorien, I need water from the special lake in Rivendell, I have no idea where it is at, I also need some more black sand, normal sand, and some water from the main river in Lorien to finish the rest of my potions, please I leave tomorrow so you must ride hard and fast. Oh I need some crystals and diamonds, trust me I promise to give you some good things for your journey," Inwë said before walking off. Aragorn kissed Arwen before running off to ride to Lorien as fast as possible. Legolas decided he'd go off for a moment, when he came back Inwë and Farothin were gone.

----

"So… what do you think about leaving?" Farothin asked moving a strand on his brown hair before looking to her; he was so young, and youthful, naïve to the world.

"I think… that I don't want to go," she said nodding her head as they walked underneath the dark trees. The night was slowly creeping up sending shadows through the lands.

"I wonder where the sun goes when it leaves, and where does the moon come from," Farothin said his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

"One day you will find out, you are a very ambitious man," she said smiling up at the winking stars.

"Will you be with me then?" he asked looking to her before looking at the ground.

"What ever do you mean my dear friend?" she said still walking but getting nervous.

"I mean will you love me by then? Will… you marry me then?" he asked grabbing her arm softly to stop her. She thought a moment before turning to look at him.

"I am elven Farothin..." she began before he interrupted.

"And my lady?" he said feeling his stomach turn.

"And… you are human, I cannot be with you. I… my heart already belongs to another, he is the one I think. Even if it didn't, it would never work between us. I could not handle the heart break of marrying you, baring your children, and then having you die," she said looking at him sadly. He looked at her before storming off, "I am so sorry." Inwë sighed as she walked back to the castle, Legolas had been watching them, wondering what they were saying. He let her pass him without noticing him there as she entered the castle. She was in her room on the balcony when Legolas knocked on it. He came in when she yelled it was ok to enter. He walked onto the balcony.

"These are for you," he smiled holding out a bundle of beautiful multicolored flowers.

"They are beautiful," she said with a smile as she took them. She placed one in her ear.

"I wanted to talk to you, because tomorrow I know I'll fail… I always try to tell you, I always felt… I always wanted to impress you, and I can… when I…" he couldn't seem to get the words out.

"Legolas," she said smiling as she looked down, "say what you want to say."

"I just want to know how you are feeling about leaving," he sighed placing his hand on the banister.

"I am sad because I think that I finally found the one I want to be with, and I have to leave," she said looking down trying to hint to him.

"Oh, so then… you want to be with Farothin," he said backing up slightly, "I saw that you were talking with him. I… am happy… for you guys," he said turning to leave.

"Aren't you even going to let me answer? Tell me what you were going to say Legolas Greenleaf and tell me right now," she said getting impatient; her smiles were getting thinner as her patience was being used up.

"I can't cause every time I do it gets stuck on the tip of my tongue, what do you want me to say?" he said trying to play the victim.

"I want you to look me in the eyes, and tell me that I no longer need to feel alone," she said catching him off guard.

"What?" he said looking at her, his eyes slowly finding her own eye's, "I keep trying to impress you… and you don't need to feel alone anymore, as long as you tell me when you will love me."

"What? Well, you don't have to try so hard to make me fall for you; I surprised myself today, because just today I heard myself say you were the one. I guess I might as well come clean, I didn't shout it out, but everybody knew… funny you're the only one who didn't have a clue. Laugh, I guess I need to laugh more, because I really thought you knew. I can't believe your asking me, when I will love you… I already do," she said catching him off guard.

"Are you sure?" he said not sure what to say, she gave him a look, "I mean are you sure? As in no turning back?"

"If turning back was even a option, it would be an option I wouldn't take," she said smiling at him.

"Inwë, I've loved you for awhile… it was no accident, me finding you. Someone had a hand in it, long before we ever knew. Now I just can't believe, your telling me this… I bet the Valar is smiling down at me as I look at you tonight. I give my thanks to the keeper of the stars; he sure knew what he was doing when he brought us together. I hold everything, when I hold you in my arms… I've got all I'll ever need thanks to the Valar. There is a soft moonlight on your face, oh how you shine Inwë. It takes my breath away… just to look into your eyes. I know I don't deserve a treasure like you. So there really are no words that could show my gratitude, and my love for you. I've waited so long to say this… I do love you, for the rest of my life you will never have to think twice, I will love you still… from the depths of my soul it is beyond my control. If you're asking do I love you, then I do," he said his hand finding her face and slowly bringing it to his.

"Legolas," she said softly between kisses.

"In my world before you, I lived outside my emotions, didn't know where I was going… until that day I found you. How you opened my life to a new and exciting paradise, in a world of torment and change, no one can ever take my love for you away," he said kissing her again. His arms folded around her pulling her closer. Her arms wrapped around his neck as tears (of happiness) filled her eyes. Suddenly an image of her sailing away, never to return filled his mind… slowly he pulled away.

"What is wrong Legolas?" Inwë asked nervously.

"Inwë I am sorry, I can't, I thought I could… your leaving, this isn't right. It will only hurt us both in the end," he said before letting her go suddenly making her stumble back as he walked out of the room. Tears flooded her eyes as she slowly walked into the room letting the curtain fall. She began to pace slowly as tears filled her chilly eyes.

Legolas sat by her door feeling his heart pounding. He remembered what she had said; how she confessed her love for him… all the words and more he ever wanted to hear come from her sweet lips. He laid his head back as he thought about her, how there bodies were close, he held her in his arms, and he had her in his grasp. He couldn't hold it back any longer he was shaking so bad that he lost all control. He opened her door quickly catching the crying girl off guard making her instantly stand up with her hand to her mouth holding back a gasp and her tears. Before she could even say his name he had his lips pressed to hers and her on the bed.

----

Legolas woke up and rolled over rubbing his eyes. He saw Inwë softly sleeping beside him, his hand glided across her soft silky skin. He knew they had made a mistake last night, now she would plague his thoughts, she would be hard to let go. He knew only one way that would let him let her go to safety. He got out and quickly dressed. She had woken up with the memories of the night before, but no Legolas. For hours she looked for him, but she couldn't find him. When she did he quickly escaped avoiding her.

"Inwë," Arwen said softly with a couple of helpers, "we need you to help finish up the potions before we leave. We need to make over a hundred of everything. Aragorn brought your special ingredients."

"Thank you," Inwë cried falling into a seat still crying.

"Inwë what is wrong?" Arwen said looking horrified.

"Nothing," Inwë said her hands covering her face as she cried.

"It most certainly doesn't look that way, what is wrong? Is it Legolas?" Arwen asked looking at her friend shake her head yes, "look I am sure that he has feelings for you. But you can't expect a man to just come out and say his feelings… it is hard for them."

"Arwen that isn't it, last night we told each other how we felt," Inwë said as fresh tears crawled out of her eyes and down her flushed cheeks.

"Really what happened?" Arwen said looking completely excited.

"He said that he loves me too… I told him everything, about how I thought he was the one and that I loved him…" she cried sadly.

"Do you regret it? Is it sinking in that you're leaving and you two finally love each other?" Arwen said still confused.

"No!" Inwë said crying harder again, "yes and no."

"Then what is it woman," Arwen said rolling her eyes.

"Last night he left saying that we couldn't because I was leaving and we would both get hurt," she said before Arwen interrupted.

"Oh I see," Arwen said slouching before Inwë broke out in more sobs.

"No!" she cried out again, "he came back… and we… we… you know."

"OH!" Arwen said her eyes getting big, "but I can see that being a problem, but why are you crying?"

"He keeps avoiding me now," Inwë said in tears, Arwen got an angry look on her face.

"Oh I am so sorry," Arwen said not sure how to confort her. That didn't sound like Legolas at all, "are you sure it was Legolas?"

"Yes!" Inwë said tears attacking her voice, "never mind though… let's get to work."

All day they worked, and they worked hard. Making her special potions, and more of the ones she made before. The ladies helping were impressed at the creations they made. All kinds of goodies, truth potions, sleeping drought, time freezers, Fire Flames, Uruk-Hai charmer, Blessed Light, cure head aches and sickness, good dreams, and slippery road. They packed them into backpacks in-between cotton so none would break. When done Inwë went into her room and sat crying. She saw a stack of leaflets sitting on a desk. She grabbed a quill and ink and began scribbling down a note as her tears dotted the paper.

----

It was time leave; she dressed up as was expected. She put on the velvety silver gown, and placed the white shawl over her head. She told one of the servants her stuff was packed and they took it down to the wagon where everyone's luggage went. They brought her a gray (white) horse and she climbed onto it. All the men of the village watched as the woman slowly started to depart. Legolas looked down from a balcony feeling his stomach turn as he looked at how beautiful… and elegant she looked! She glowed under the white shawl and silver dress, her deep blue eyes shot out at him as a tear glided down and the horse began to take her away. He looked up at the stars and hit his fist on the balcony before entering the house.

"It will be alright my friend," Aragorn said obviously in distress as well as he tapped his foot on the ground. Legolas shook as he walked to his room. He began to pace as he saw a note sitting on his bed. He hesitantly walked to it and picked it up. He opened and began to read…

Dear Legolas,

I never thought my heart could find someone like you. You saw the real me, no in-betweens, I had no where to hide. You took away the walls around me, made me feel safe to share my truths. We were meant to be, our chemistry, will last forever. Through the years, we'll see tears, we'll conquer fears, we will grow, and I just wish it could have been together. I thought you meant it when you said I didn't have to feel alone… you saw me, the real me… you believed in me. I saw the heavens open, a heart that was broken holds nothing back… since it found you. You hold me like a prayer, you've touched me everywhere. A life time just isn't enough to love you through… now that I've found you. Since I thought I had you… I wish it wasn't good bye, I wish that goodbye wouldn't have been so lonely and since you didn't give me the chance to tell you this I tell you now. I love you Legolas, and I am sorry I couldn't tell you this in person, that I didn't get to spend my last time here with you…

Remember me, and I pray you never forget me…

Inwë

Legolas sat down on the bed holding the letter in his hand. His other hand went to his head as he looked down on the ground obviously regretting what had happened. How could she even think he'd forget her? How could he forget such a powerful and at times lonely power building with in him… love? He stood up and paced, what was he suppose to do now. He ended up wanting to stop her from going anyways, this later made it so he couldn't so easily let her vanish.
