Thanks to:
saiyan-girl-cheetah: My fingers have a tendency of going faster then my brain can process and usually the typos go unnoticed. Although one of my friends helps with the grammer and spell checking.
ToledaSarrah: I try to continue and update as soon as I can.
Androme: I'm glad you thin is so good. In this chapter you find out what happened to Katie to make it difficult for her to trust people.
Requiem Euphoria: I'm glad you agree with me. Aragorn is too freakin' serious. He needs to lighten up some. Okay so the weight of Middle Earth is on his shoulders, he could crack a smile every once in a while.
Elenawen-Nelinalus: I'm writing...I'm writing!!!
Jack-Sparrow-Lover: Believe me when I say, I will keep writing.
Rori: I got my Elvish translations from a website. I'll email you the site when I can find it again. I have so many favorites that it takes some time to find any website I place in my favorites.
little elfling: Here's my update.
fiction gurl: I agree when I say it is hard to find a good LOTR fic, but not impossible. I have quite a few good one in my favorite stories list. I have many that I need to add and when I get more time I'll be updating it.
A few weeks passed. I spent everyday on the training grounds with Boromir or Aragorn. I was up at dawn, rudely awoken by either one. We trained until breakfast, went to ear, left again to train until lunch. They wanted me to continue after lunch, but my begging and pleading got me out of it.
I could never find Steph. She was always missing. It wasn't any of my business, but I was curious.
For some reason I never saw Legolas, meals excluded, but we never talked to one another. I'd see him walking the halls, but that was about it. Was he avoiding me? Questions like that came into my mind. I began to miss him. Sure it was aggravating have him constantly looking over my shoulder, but I never minded. Being around him was sometimes awkward, but it was worth it. He made me feel safe; like nothing in the world could ever hurt me.
I grabbed my CD player and exited my room. I could have a nice quiet day in the library. As I went to grab the handle of the door, I heard a voice call my name. "Katie, wait up" It was Stephanie.
"What do ya need?" I asked.
"What's going on between you and Legolas?" She asked.
I'd like the know that myself. I thought. "Nothing. Why?" My curiosity got the best of me.
"No reason" She shook it off. I eyed her. I didn't believe her. It made me wonder if she had her eye on him. Oh well. If she did, Legolas could handle it.
I went into the library, grabbed my book and sat down in my favorite chair. I hit play and I didn't pay attention to what was actually playing until Celine Dion came up and sang:
"No mountain to high for you to climb
All you have to do is have some find of faith
No river is to wide to make it across
All you have to do, it believe when you pray"
I stopped reading. Every time I heard this song, I wanted to cry. I put my book down and went out to the balcony. It oversaw most of the rest of the city. I hit the forward button, not wanting to listen to such depressing music. The next song…"Back into your System" by Saliva. Hard rock, just what I needed. I turned it up full blast; needing the comfort of music; if you could call it music. I sighed and placed my hands on the railing. What a vacation. What a laugh! I'm in a strange world with even stranger customs.
I suddenly felt a hand on the small of my back. I spun around and saw Legolas. I hit pause. "What do you need?" I asked.
"What is that?" Legolas asked, pointing to my CD player.
"It's a CD player," I said. "It plays music from where I come from"
"And what you were just listening to was music from where you hail?" He asked.
"Some of it. There are many different types of music from where I'm from"
"It's confusing. I cannot make out any of what they are saying" He frowned.
I smiled. "Very few can, but I love music. It's the only way I was able to survive in my world"
"You were healthy when I met you" He said.
"Not physically surviving. Mental and emotional survival. A lot of my world was crazy, as were some of the people in it. Some more than others, but still we have senseless people. Music was a euphoria for me. It kept me sane" I said.
"Is that why you're always listening to it in here?" He asked.
"Music and reading were the only escapes I had in life. It was hellish. Some of the people just made it worse" I said gravely.
I turned from him. "Why do I get the feeling you didn't come here for small chit-chat?"
"Because I didn't. You and I haven't talked much in the past few weeks. In some respects I have been avoiding you. We didn't leave on good terms the last time we spoke to one another. I thought it would be best if we stayed away from each other and relax before we spoke again"
"Fact was fact, Legolas. You had many truths to your words. In some respects I am a troubled woman. Maybe I have lost my way, but who is to say that I'm on the wrong road. For all anyone knows I'm on the right one; I just don't know it yet"
"Perhaps" Was the only thing he said.
He waited for a moment. "I wish to know why you have such a hard time trusting people, especially those who are trying to help you"
I removed my headphones and turn off my player. I closed my eyes and felt tears start forming in my eyes. It had been several years, yet the pain and the hurt remained. I went back and sat down; Legolas followed. "There was a boy, Allen. He and I basically grew up together. He and I became very close and everyone said we were…courting each other. Truth was we weren't, but we didn't really care about what other people said or thought. We were so close that it didn't matter. I guess in some forms, I gave him my heart. It was a few years later that he and I stopped courting. He left me for another girl. It wasn't too long after that that he came back to me and asked if he and I could go back out and I was stupid. I gave him a second chance. The next day he came up to me and said that he never broke it off with the other girl, he just wanted to see what I would say. Truth be told, I don't know why I was so heartbroken. After that I promised myself that I wouldn't fall for anyone else's tricks. I guess in the process, it became hard for me to trust people. In a way, I became cold and emotionless. I blocked away all felling that my heard so desperately wanted to feel. I never meant for myself to become cold and emotionless, it just happened"
"Leave it to one person to spoil a pure soul of another" He said.
We didn't say anything for a few minutes. "What about me? Do you trust me?" he asked.
I breathed in deeply. "That's what I don't understand. I don't know how you managed to do it, but you helped me trust people again. I do trust you and in reality that's what scares me so. I trust you with all of my heart and soul" I told him.
"That's good to know," He said, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb.
"why?" my voice was indistinct.
"Because whether you like it or not, you've opened up to someone"
I got up to walk away. He grabbed my arm. "Legolas don't, please. Just let me go," I pleaded.
"You were sent here for a reason. Whether it was to fulfill your destiny or some trivial matter, you are here for a reason" He explained to me.
"If you know so much, why don't you tell me why I'm here," I demanded.
"I truly with I could; however, I do not know. Amin hiraetha" He said.
"Nothing could prepare me for my parents death. Nor can anything prepare me for what is to come. My reasons for being here are known to only a few. Those few reside here in Rivendell" I said, firmly.
"Mithrandir and Lord Elrond" He confirmed.
"They both know why I'm here, though they refuse to tell me. I'm not curious enough to ask them point blank. Some things I would much rather live without knowing"
"Yet, some things must be known. If matters not if you wish to know it or not. Truth is rather painful and I'm sorry for it," He said.
"Nothing is your fault so would you quit apologizing!" I scolded. "I believe that somehow my past is related to my future"
"That's not what you said a few weeks ago. I believe your words were "My past is my past. There's no point in going back to analyze it when it holds no meaning whatsoever. My future doesn't lie in my past". That's what you said, is it not?" He asked.
I glared at him. "Your memory may serve you well Legolas, but I am entitled to change my mind am I not?"
"I never said you weren't, but why did you change your mind?"
"Both Gandalf and Lord Elrond are wary of me. They're stepping around me like one would do on thin ice"
"You're analogy is unusual, but true nonetheless" He said.
I rubbed my eyes. "Lle tyava quel?" He asked.
"N'uma" I said.
"Mani naa ta?"
"Just tired it suppose"
"Tula sinome"
I walked over to him. He felt my forehead and immediately withdrew it. "You're burning up with fever," He told me.
"Amin quel. Ta…" I fell to my knees.
"Lady Katherine" Legolas was immediately by my side. "Lle anta esta "
My breathing became heavy. "Legolas, I don't feel well," I told him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said, tiredly.
"Let's get you to bed" He said.
He stood up with me in his arms. He walked down the corridors and opened the door to my room. He laid me down on the bed. "I'm going to find Lord Elrond. Just rest" He told me.
I closed my eyes and curled up into a fetal position. I didn't even notice that they came back. "She's just tired. She needs rest"
"I'm no healer, but a fever doesn't appear because someone is tired" Legolas argued.
"The fact that she has been skipping many meals since her arrival could be a factor as well, Legolas. Just let her rest. When she awakens, tell me" Elrond got up and left the room.
Legolas sat by my side for two days, watching over me. I woke up on the morning of the third day. The birds were chirping and the leaves swayed in the breeze. I sat up and saw Legolas standing on my balcony. I stood up and walked over to him. "Hey" I said.
He turned, obviously startled. I laughed. "I thought Elves had good hearing?" I teased.
"We do, but if we're distracted or thinking about something else, we don't hear our surroundings"
"Score one for me," I whispered. "I was able to sneak up on you"
He smiled. "It won't happen again. How do you feel?" He asked.
"Better, I suppose" I said.
"Lord Elrond wanted me to inform him when you awoke. Are you going to be well until I return?" He asked.
"Yeah, no problem" I replied.
He left the room. Why did I pass out? Only one person knows that and that's Elrond. Though I can only guess that he's not much into talking. I thought to myself.
The door opened minutes later, with Elrond and Legolas in tow. "How do you feel?" He asked.
"I feel fine," I said.
A major lie, but nothing was said over it. Truth was I felt like I was going to pass out again. "Legolas, I wish to speak with Lady Katherine alone" Elrond said.
Maybe he is in a talking mood after all. Legolas hesitated but left the room. "I wanna know what is going on," I demanded.
"I had no doubt you would" Elrond said. "The reason you're slipping into and out of consciousness is because of your heart is heavy. It holds much grief and despair. To hold that within yourself for so long can only give you more grief and despair. You can only hold on for so long before you fall into darkness. You cannot keep this up. The darkness will consume you if your heart isn't lightened"
"If and when I tell anyone about me is my business. I, frankly, don't give a damn about falling into darkness. As of right now, if I fell into shadow, I would be one happy woman. And let me tell you why. I have nothing to live for, no one to go home to. My family is gone; my friends will live on because I know I didn't make one bit of difference in their lives. And here? Don't get me started. I have nothing here. Acquaintances and one friendship, nothing more"
"You sound so serious and resolved, but deep inside you are crumbling. I see it in your eyes" Elrond said.
And with that he walked out of the room. As much as it pained me to admit it, Elrond was right, I was crumbling. The depression started the day my parents died. I knew it wouldn't get better. Experience told me that much. It would never end, no matter what I did to try to stop it. I went to my balcony. The breeze was light. I grabbed my CD player and sat down on the railing. For the next couple of hours, I was lost in my own little world.
When I finally decided to enter civilization, it was about an hour before dinner. I walked down the hallways. I went passes Elrond's study. I stopped when I heard voices. It was Elrond and Gandalf. "As much as I hate to admit it, they both have to know of their lineage" I heard Elrond say.
"I don't think it would be wise. It would only be a distraction for the future," Gandalf said.
"It could make them more resilient to the future" Elrond argued.
"Lady Katherine and Lady Stephanie do not know of their past. They do not know of their ties to this world" Gandalf said.
"Which is more of a reason to tell them," Elrond said.
I should have opened the door right then and there and demanded answers. But I don't think it would have been too wise. I went looking for Stephanie. She had a right to know. I found her on the training grounds with Elrohir and Elladan. "Steph, a word if you please" I called.
She ran over to me. "Elrond and Gandalf know about out past. We need answers. We need them now. We've been treading too lightly," I said in a hushed voice.
"How do you know they know anything?" She asked.
"I heard them arguing about it while I was walking by Elrond's study" I explained.
"You were snooping?" She asked.
"It was innocent spying. It didn't hurt anything," I hissed.
"So what do you suggest, we make it a point to bring it up at dinner or something?" she asked.
"I'm not above that," I bluntly told her.
"Do what you want. I'm not interested in knowing about my past"
"Fine. I'll do it without you" I told her, turning sharply.
I saw Arwen come towards us. "Lady Katherine, Lady Stephanie my father and Mithrandir wish to speak with both of you. They are both in my father's study" Arwen said.
I turned and raised an eyebrow at Stephanie. "Now?" Stephanie asked.
I groaned. Idiot, idiot, idiot! I mentally shouted at her.
"Yes" Arwen said.
"We're coming" Stephanie said.
We walked up to the study. I knocked on the door. "Come in" Elrond said.
I opened the door and walked in with Steph in tow. "You said you wanted to see us?" I asked, although I knew what it was about.
"Yes, both of you, please have a seat" Elrond said.
I sat down, making myself look uncertain. "What is this about?" I asked.
"Gandalf and I both think it's time you know about your past" Elrond said.
"To begin with you two are bound to Middle Earth" Gandalf said.
"Bound?" Stephanie interrupted.
"This is our home," I said.
"Correct. Both of you are bound to Middle Earth by your blood relations. You two young ladies are Elves, although Lady Stephanie is half-elven. Lady Katherine is a full-blooded Elf. You were sent to your world for protection. Orc attacks were rampant. Many thought that Sauron himself would come out of hiding soon, seeing as the One Ring wasn't destroyed. They sent you away to keep you safe, you see"
"So we're immortal?" Stephanie asked.
"You have to choose to be mortal or immortal. Katherine's the exception," Elrond said.
"What would have happened if I wouldn't have come to Middle Earth? Would I still be immortal?" I asked.
"No, in your world there are no such things as immortals unless they are fiction. You were mortal in your world, but here you are immortal. You're Elven blood flows freely through your veins" Gandalf said.
"Then how come I don't have pointy ears?" I asked.
"I simple spell to hide appearances. It works quiet well. I can take it off if you'd like" Gandalf said.
I hesitated. Taking off the spell would raise question that I don't think I'd be ready to answer. But I knew what would happen in Moria. Of course he comes back, but by then we'd be too busy. "I want you to take off the spell, but can we do it after dinner tonight?" I asked.
"Certainly" He said.
"Thank you"
"Now obviously much more time has passed here then in your world" Elrond pointed out.
"I'd say. We're only 17 in our world" Steph interrupted.
"Stephanie, be quiet. It's rude to disrupt people when they're talking?" I whispered.
She frowned. "What about our parents?" She asked.
"Ah, yes. Lady Stephanie, I regret to inform you that you're parents died. They were killed in an Orc attack. Lady Katherine's mother died as well, but her father still lives," Gandalf said.
"What was my mother's name?" I asked.
"Aviva"
"My father's name?" I asked.
"Haldir"
"Of Lórien?" I asked.
"Yes" The wizard said.
The blood in my veins ran cold. Haldir was my dad? That was a twist. Now if I only make it to Lórien. I opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. "Katie's speechless. Wow! That's a first," Stephanie said.
"Dina" I hissed, although I knew she wouldn't understand what it meant.
"You're mother was a native of Mirkwood. They met in Mirkwood. Haldir had an important message for Thranduil. Your mother, Aviva, was a good friend of the queen and king. Legolas was only a few hundred years at the time. Haldir and Aviva became good friends and it was only a few months later that they were married. It wasn't long after that that Aviva became pregnant. You were only about two hundred years old when your mother was killed by an orc attack"
"I need some air"
I stood up abruptly and ran out of the room. I ran down the hallway and headed towards…well anywhere but there. I laughed at myself. I was the one who wanted to know about my past.
I stopped running when I couldn't take it anymore. I was well outside the boundaries of Rivendell. Not that it mattered. Why did this affect me? It shouldn't, should it? "Lady Katherine?"
I spun around and saw Elrohir standing about fifteen feet behind me. "What?" I snapped, harshly.
"I didn't mean to disturb you. You ran out of the city so fast that I thought something was wrong," he said.
"No, it's okay. I'm fine, really. Sorry for snapping. I just received some shocking news. That's all" I told him.
"It's not safe out here. Why don't I accompany you back to the city" He offered.
I smiled at the Elf. We get along pretty well considering we started off on the wrong foot. "Sure" I said.
I turned and started walking back. Elrohir stayed by my side the entire walk back. He looked at me, like he was studying me. I didn't like being under his gaze. It made me feel small. We didn't have to walk very far. I walked back to my room. Dinner came and went. I knew because I heard the bell. I didn't attend. I was too busy thinking. The last thing I needed was to be among people.
I went out to my balcony and sat down on the railing, my feet dangling over the edge. Part of me wanted to leave right now and go to Lórien to see him. I needed to know about my mother, I needed to know about my family. The other part just wanted to leave Middle Earth and never come back. But I had an obligation to Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship. I couldn't leave; I couldn't betray them. My knowledge of the future was important. Wait. Future. Helm's Deep. The Elves come to help. 10000 Uruk-hai. Haldir is killed. Oh this is bad. If I don't make it through Amon Hen, if I'm killed by the Uruk-hai, then I can't save him. "Dammit!" I cursed loudly.
"I thought you're use of colorful language was gone" I turned my head and saw Legolas standing against the doorframe.
"Now isn't the time to disturb me" I hissed, dangerously.
"Well, then, tell me, what time is it? It's past supper, which you missed. I thought you agreed not to miss anymore meals" He frowned.
"I lost my appetite," I said.
"Elrohir said you ran out of the city earlier, though he doesn't know why. That's something I would like to know. Mithrandir and Lord Elrond have a knowing look in their eyes and Lady Stephanie wasn't as talkative tonight. What did they tell you two?" Legolas asked.
"It's none of your business"
He shook his head. "Don't you dare pull yourself back into your protective shell. Not after it took me so long to get you out," Legolas pleaded.
"Your pleads fall on deaf ears"
"You either tell me or I go straight to Lady Stephanie. She seemed like she wanted to talk about what was bothering her. My only guess is that what is bothering her is also bothering you" Legolas started for the door.
An ultimatum? He's smart. He knows the only way to get me to talk is to challenge me. Interesting. He knows me better than I thought. "Wait" I called.
He turned and looked at me, a small smile tugged at his lips. "You remember our conversation the other day when you and I were talking about the reason of me being here?" I asked.
He nodded. "Well, I found out today, why I'm here, more or less"
He sat down on the chair that was on the balcony. "Come to find out, I'm originally from here. So is Stephanie. Middle Earth is our actual home. Elrond and Gandalf even told me about my parents. My mom died, but my father is still around. Steph's parents are both dead"
There was a knock on my door. Thank God! I silently prayed. "If you want to continue talking about this, meet me in the gardens tonight when the moon is high"
I shook my head in acknowledgement. He got up and opened the door. "Mithrandir" Legolas greeted.
The door closed. "You wanted the spell removed, I believe," He said.
I nodded in agreement. He started mumbling something incoherent. I didn't notice anything changing. "It's done," He said.
"Thank you" I muttered.
I heard the door close moments later. I stayed on the railing for a few more hours. I saw the moon. It was full and it held and eerie shade of yellow. I got off the rail and exited my room. I headed towards the gardens. My ears, which were now pointed, picked up almost everything. I heard the smallest movement of a bush made by an animal. My eyesight, even in the dark, I could tell was enhanced. I was aware of even the smallest movement. I sat down on the one-way bridge and stared into the water.
Even with my Elven hearing, I didn't hear Legolas walk up to me. He sat down next to me, not saying anything. "I wasn't sure if you'd wanted to continue or not" Legolas said.
I smiled, faintly. "Are you alright?" He asked.
"In some respects, I suppose, in others I'm not"
He laid a hand on my upper leg. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to" He said.
"I know. Do you remember any of your parents friends?" I asked.
"Not too much. There was one, she died when I was just and Elfling, but she and my mother were good friends. I remember mother bringing her up at times. She married Haldir of Lórien and they had a child together. I do not know what happened to the little one though. Haldir doesn't speak of the past much. Why do you ask? It seems like a bizarre question"
"Never mind" I shook it off. "My parents were both Elves. My father's home was Lothlórien. My mother, oddly enough grew up in Mirkwood. I think she was some sort of a noble"
"And your father?" he inquired.
"A warrior" I whispered.
"Do you know their names?"
I hesitated. More than likely Legolas knew my mother, or at least her name. "Aviva" I whispered.
My voice was so low that I could barely hear myself and yet somehow the Elf heard me. "That would make your father Haldir," He said.
I nodded my head. "This is quiet a turn of events" He murmured.
Tell me about it! I thought. I wanted to voice the opinion, but I kept my mouth shut. He stood up. "Stand up" He ordered.
"Why?" I asked.
He smiled. "Just stand up"
I did. He guided me over to an open area. "Stand here and close your eyes"
I raised an eyebrow at him, but folded my arms and closed my eyes. "Relax. Unfold your arms," He said.
I placed my arms at my sides. "Now concentrate on your surroundings. What do you hear?"
I concentrated on my surroundings like Legolas told me to. I started hearing small birds, chirping for food. Chipmunks and squirrels scurrying up or down a tree. Some were running through bushes and made them rustle. I couldn't hear Legolas, but I knew he was somewhere around me. I tried to find him; for anything that would give his location away. I found him; he was almost directly behind me. I heard his light, controlled breathing. Then, no, it couldn't be? I was hearing his heartbeat! I shook it out of my mind and expanded my hearing. I heard water, running above all else. Horses neighing. "Okay, that's enough" He said.
I opened my eyes. "What did you hear?" He asked.
"I heard water, the horses in the stable, the small animals running around, the birds chirping, then I heard you"
"Me?" He asked, clearly amused.
"I heard your heartbeat," I said. A clear frown marred his beautiful, ivory face. "Why? Is anything wrong?" I asked.
He sighed. "No. Not entirely. There's a myth among the Elves that if you can hear another's heart beating within their chest, you've found your soul mate," He said.
"Is it true?" I asked.
I was curious, but above all scared. If the myth held any truth to it at all, boy was I in trouble. "Some say there is. My mother believed in the myth, but my father always said it was nonsense. Of course that was before she left for the west. He doesn't voice his opinion on it much, but I feel he believes it"
"What about you?" I asked.
"I was taught to believe in my heart. I always have and it's never steered me wrong yet. When you asked me why I couldn't ignore the look in your eyes and I told you I didn't know, truth was part of me did know. I was falling in love with you. Being away from you for these past few weeks have done nothing but torture me"
I was speechless, for the second time that day. How could I respond to that? It was simple, I couldn't. I walked up to him, reached up and gently touched his cheek. His eyes held so much. Compassion, love, and just a tinge of fear. But what did he have to fear? Then it hit me. Rejection. "I don't know what do say. For so long, I've hidden everything away from people. You're the first one who's brought it out for a long time. Maybe the reason or reasons for me feeling safe around you weren't known to me. Maybe I was afraid to admit what I really felt," I whispered.
"Then how do you feel?" Legolas asked, his face inching closer to mine.
"I think I'm in love with you," I disclosed.
I felt him smile. His arms snaked around my waist, but didn't say anything. He pulled me into a kiss. My arms snakes wound around his neck. It wasn't too long before we were getting pretty hot. I had never felt anything like it in my life. So much passion and need were mixed with love and lust. I heard someone clear their throat and was about ready to kill the person or Elf who interrupted us. "Amin hiraetha heruamin. I have a message from your father." An elf said.
Legolas groaned and I partly wanted to thank or kill the messenger. He left me, and went over to the messenger. He took the letter and read it quickly. "I'll have a response for you tomorrow by lunch" he said.
"Very well, sir" The Elven courier said.
He walked off, leaving Legolas and I alone. I sunk down to my knees. All I wanted to do was go to bed and sleep, though I knew it wasn't going to happen. Legolas walked over to me and stooped down. "You should get some sleep," he whispered.
That's never gonna happen! I said to myself. "I should, but I probably won't" I told him.
He smiled. "You need it. I see it in your eyes" He pushed back some hair and placed it behind my ears. He lightly traced my pointed ear. Shivers ran down my spine. I tried to pull away, only to see him smiling.
"What is so funny?" I demanded.
He stole a kiss and replied, "You"
I playfully shoved him away and stood up. He gracefully stood up. "Not so fast, mela " He said, grabbing my wrist.
"What now? You said it yourself, I need sleep. Where do you think I'm going?" I asked.
"Lying doesn't seem to suit you, melamin" He said. I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm too tired to lie," I said.
"Maybe you're just not good at it," he said with a smile on his face.
"That too"
"All I wish to do is help you. I heard the conversation between Lord Elrond and yourself this afternoon and I can't think about anything else. I refuse to let you fall into shadow. I won't allow it to happen. I will fight for you, regardless of what you want"
"What if my choice is not to fight? What if I want to be claimed by the darkness?"
"You cannot be serious!" He shouted.
My ears started to ring. I winched at his tone. "These past few weeks haven't exactly been easy. My parents passing was hard enough, but now I find out that they weren't even my parents? That I'm not even from the only world I knew? How would you feel?" I shouted.
His face softened. "In all probability, I'd feel exactly like you"
I made my point. What was the purpose of pushing the subject any further? "Let me escort you to your room" He said.
I shook my head in agreement. We walked back in silence. I reached for the knob on my door, but paused. "Thank you, for everything" I said.
"You don't have to thank me. You deserve to be happy, no matter what you think," He said, kissing my cheek.
He turned to his room. "Legolas?" I called.
He stopped and turned toward me. I walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. Okay, granted, I probably wasn't in my right mind at the time, but it couldn't really hurt anything, could it? Then again, it wasn't the time to be picky. But for some odd reason, I couldn't let him go. I couldn't end the kiss. He gently pulled away. "What is it?" he asked.
"I don't want to be alone" I whispered.
He pulled me to his room. I entered it, and found little difference between his and mine. He closed the door behind him. "Mela, you'll never be alone," He told me.
I became silent. He pulled me into a tender hug and I clung to him for dear life. I buried my face deep within his chest. He pulled away minutes later and kissed my forehead. Without any warning, his lips were on mine. I didn't care. He guided me over to the bed and I knew what was going to happen. Even if it was a fantasy it was a damn good one! I lay back on the silk sheets, which were wine in color. All night we stayed in the same bed, never leaving each other.
