I have decided that since I had to endure Marton Csokas (Celeborn)'s new movie Dream House that I would just have this be an argumentative chapter...HA! thats what happens when you upset me LOL...
CHAPTER 3
Celeborn stepped forward and put his hand on Haldir's shoulder. He winced when Haldir cringed and pulled away. Celeborn sighed.
" Haldir, tell me. What truly ails you?"
Haldir slowly turned around to look at Celeborn.
" It matters not. All who knew before turned a blind eye to it."
Celeborn shook his head.
" What do you speak of Haldir?"
Haldir scoffed.
" You should know. These are YOUR woods are they not."
Celeborn raised an eyebrow.
" You have never acted this way toward me. I demand to know what this is about!"
Haldir winced at his Lord's tone. Celeborn was right. Haldir had never spoken like this to him before. Haldir sighed and turned away from Celeborn once more.
" Brethiel did not only abuse the elves he had come across in Lorien."
Celeborn did not speak, but waited for Haldir to continue.
" He beat many of the ones be bedded, but he raped one. The only elf who ever told him no."
Celeborn touched Haldir's shoulder, smiling when Haldir didn't pull away.
" It was you, wasn't it? You told him no."
Haldir turned to face Celeborn. He had tears streaming down his face.
" Yes. It was me."
Haldir felt Celeborn's arms wrap around him.
" I will speak with Galadriel immediately regarding this."
Haldir winced and pulled away from Celeborn.
" You will not tell her that he raped me will you?"
Celeborn shook his head.
" Never."
Haldir allowed himself to be pulled back into an embrace.
" Why would you not tell her?"
Celeborn sighed.
"She does not need to know such things about the one I love."
