Chapter 9 Believe
Legolas and Estel informed Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen about Faith current condition. They all waited while Elrond and the other healers fought to save the young elflings life that hung by a thread. The time passed by slowly, as minutes turned into hours. The friends coul only comfort each other in this time of emotional torture.
A healer emerged from the room, and ran toward the friends. They all stood up waiting for news, but the healer just passed them by in a hurry to get some much needed supplies. Finally they decided to go into Estel's room to wait, finally realizing they were only blocking the path if the healing needed to get out and back in fast.
"This can not be happening!" Legolas said for the fourth time in the two hours that they have been waiting.
"But it is Legolas; we must except Faith may not make it through." Elladan tried to explain to his younger friend. But it seemed too hopeless as Legolas insisted that Faith would not die.
Another hour passed and the exhaustion of the days events were taking its toll on them all. They each passed out one by one. The first to fall asleep was Arwen and just was Legolas was dozing off Elrond walked in with a saddened look on his face that made Legolas' blood run cold.
"Lord Elrond please tell me Faith has not passed on." The younger elf asked with pleading childlike eyes.
"No Legolas she has not." The Elven lord said weariness and stress overcoming his voice. Relief washed over Legolas' saddened eyes, to only disappear as he saw Elrond troubled look.
"Lord Elrond what's wrong?" he asked afraid to know the answer.
"She is out of danger for now, but that may not last to long. The poison is spreading quickly and I'm afraid that it has reached her heart, though of this I am not sure. If this is true then there is a very good chance she will not survive the night. Legolas felt like someone had just ripped open his chest and tore out his heart. This girl had become like a sister to him there was no way her could lose her so soon.
He glanced over at the still sleeping forms of his friends as more pain filled his already aching heart. He knew this ill news was not going to be easy to tell them and he dreaded the very thought of having to when they all awoke. Elrond seemed to sense what the young prince was thinking, as he stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I will tell them Legolas, go and sit with Faith." Legolas nodded unable to argue with the older elf. He stood and left moving across the hall to Faith's room.
When he entered the room, he felt very little life present from the limp girl that lay in the huge Elven bed. He couldn't help the tears that ran down his face as he finally realized this could truly be the end.
A few minutes past before the others entered the room. Each on shedding tears of their own. They approached the bed and just stared at the unmoving form, until finally someone spoke.
"Ada says if she survives the night there is a good chance she will recover." Elrohir said hoping that it would bring everyone's spirits up.
"Do not hope for that to happen my brother, for if the poison has truly reached her heart it is very unlikely she will recover." Elladan tried to point out to the younger twin.
"But there is a hope that it has not. Do you not understand that, ada is not sure if the poison has really spread that far. We must believe that Faith has the will to fight this and stay alive. For if we do not believe in her then who's to say she will try to fight at all." Elladan looked away from his brother; he knew he was right they had to have believe.
"Faith if you can hear me then listen carefully." Arwen started trying to send some sort of message to their young friend.
"We are all here for you; we will not leave to alone in this darkness. Please fight and stay here with the ones who love you." She finished as fresh tears rolled down her already tear stained cheek.
Legolas suddenly felt someone slightly gripping his hand, as he looked down to see the muscle in Faith face tighten as if she was trying to open her eyes.
"Quickly go fetch Lord Elrond I believe she's waking up!"
