Tonight was a feast of starlight (I don't know if they do that in Lothlorien)

Galedria instantly remembered Thranduil...That night he broke her heart but now was not the time to feel sad..what happened is what happened

'Does Thranduil always think of me...as much as I think of him?"She whispered to herself

She didn't know if it was a trick of a wind when he heard Thranduil's voice

"Yes"It said with a throaty chuckle

Then she let few tears slip by her eyes as she stood at the garden watching views...She didn't know Haldir was on the tree leaning on it watching her,he saw tears that spilled down her cheek and he knew why

The starlight feast.The shadow that told them when Thranduil broke her heart that night on the woodland realm's starlight feast..He felt bad for her...He needed to comfort her

He slowly approach her and sat down beside her...surprising her but she didn't need to look who it is...Firstly Haldir's scent and secondly he always was the one to comfort her on hard times

"I know why you're here"She said but enough for both of them to hear

He nodded...
"I don't know...I just want to always comfort you...I dislike that you have tears that is spilling down you sapphire eyes...I don't like seeing you like this,Galedria"He whispered

She smiled and glanced at him before looking back at the view

"I know...You're always the one comforting me whenever I'm sad..."She trailed off
"I noticed you and you're brothers distance"She said looking at him

He just nodded

"Haldir they kissed me...and I didn't know why..I just let them do it...It's like someone's telling me to do this...Telling me to break you're hearts....And I didn't want that"she confessed

"Then why didn't you stop?"He asked caressing her cheek as she leaned in to it then few tears were now falling as he wiped it while looking at her with saddened eyes

"It felt like someone is controlling it...you know..I don't know why it won't leave me alone"She sobbed as he pulled her into his chest stroking her hair

"Shhhh....it is not you're fault...It is that beings fault to why you can't control it....Maybe he came back?"He whispered pecking on her head,cheek,temple and neck

"I'm scared Haldir...what if I hurt you or you're brothers or Thranduil and my parents...I'm scared hurting people I love and care for...I'm too scared...I-I need you by my side...You are the one who always encourages me...You're different...You're understanding,loving,comforting,sweet,and nice...I like that all about you but my heart belongs to Thranduil....But deep down...You were somewhere there...You were the first one who fully own my heart when I realised you truly care and love me it drawn me to you,I too realised I loved you,you were always somewhere in my heart..But you know I can't do that...Thranduil is the one I fully love...Thranduil's heart will break and I don't like seeing him hurt...I just wished sometimes I didn't want to exist"She sobbed and sobbed violently and tears never stopped falling

When he heard these he didn't realise few tears slip on his cheek that landed on her blonde hair

"Yes,Galedria...I love you and I always will...You were the one encouraging me to go on in life...When I first saw you on the Chamber of the woodland realm...I was instantly attracted to you...I was drawn to you..and just by you're beauty...I knew you had great heart...I knew that I fell deep for you...and when I saw you depart with King Thranduil...I felt sad for you...because I felt that too"He paused as he pecked on her head then continued stroking her hair
