The sun was rising through The Shire leaving the sky red.
My eyes were red. I didn't sleep.

I was looking at the red sky when Bilbo appeared with a cup of tea. He sat in front of me but he didn't say any word. He just stood there looking at me with sad eyes.

Arwen appeared.

She sat next me.

"He died fighting, protecting you" she said.
Bilbo looked at her and I looked at him. He looked at her angrily.

"I think we should not talk about this now. She feels the pain."

Bilbo gave me a cup of tea but I didn't drink it. Instead of it, I went out.

I sat on his bench abd I saw happy faces from the hobbits that were around. I heard them say "good morning" when they walked by my side. I didn't even looked up at them.

I started to think how that happened. He couldn't be dead.

The days were passing by so slowly but every day was the same. The same pain, the same cry, the same nightmare.

I needed to go away but something familiar was making me want to stay.
Maybe was The Shire. Nobody knew my pain so they don't ask or remind me. Or maybe was because I had great memories of Legolas here.
