" If this is love i do not want it" Tauriel said with a tear streaking down her face. Her exhausted body slumping over Kili's body, her mind numb, her heart nonexistent. The pain that rippled through her spirit was nothing compared to the ache in her bones and the ugly purple and yellow bruises that where taking form around her cheek bones. She barely notices the slight crunching if the snow underneath Thailand's feet as he approached.He looked at her with pity in his eyes. Slowly compassion filled his heart as he gazed at this lost soul who had nothing in the world , and couldn't help but wonder if he had done things differently perhaps there would not be so much agony.
"Take it from me, please!" she pleaded. " Why does it hurt so much?" she cried her voice cracking, the numbness fading as the pain and loneliness slowly seeped back in like the autumn replaces the spring with its sharp biting teeth.
Thailand finally spoke and said some thing he did not expect, " Because it was real!" .Was it real? Tauriel puzzled over this for some time as she held kili's had in hers. She felt pain indeed, but could one call it love. Was she more devastated at the fact that she now was alone once again in this middle earth, without love or someone to cherish ? She had lost yet another person who could have been her future. Of course she was devastated by his death, but one could be without loving couldn't they? Did she really love him? She thought that she had.
Close by she heard foot steps once again, slow and searing . She knew who it was just by the air he brought with him.
As Legolas saw her crying over the body, a sharp pain went through his heart. Strength, hope, and faith was depleted like a light that finally burnt out at the end of a tunnel. What he had feared was true. She carried feelings for that dwarf, such that he could never hope to receive. His father had been right. All love would ever bring was pain. He couldn't help but wonder, should he had been the one to have died, perhaps she could have been happy with him. Would she have kneeled and wept over his lifeless body as well, or run to her loves aid, checking his injuries, and whispering words of affection as she held onto him?
She looked at his pain stricken face. Something behind his eyes wasn't right. The starish grey and Crystal blue held no flame, only emptiness. He looked... tired. Exhausted in body yes, but the dark circles under his eyes and the now deep crease in his forehead proved many sleepless nights. How had she not noticed these small things before? Her gaze drifted down his lean but slumping body. His magnificent form seems as if it would blow away with the wind and the green leather battle shirt he was seemed less vibrant do to the mud caked on it. His lip was badly busted and fresh and old bruises covered the top of his hair line and temples. It was then she noticed the large gash on his left leg peaking through his torn leg pant.It was bleeding, bad!!Tauriel stood up in a rushing attempt to rid her mind of grief, while bestowing one last look upon Kili.
"Mellon, come let me see to your wounds.", she said in a strained panic. She needed to heal him, she need to feel his life under her finger tips to assure her mind that he was still with her .
He just stood there, motionless, not a word. Had she not been paying attention, the slight shake of his head would have gone unnoticed. She came closer and before she could speak, he lightly stroked her face with his hand and her breath caught in her lungs as time stood still. His eyes. His eyes held so much anguish and hopelessness yet she couldn't tear away from the gaze. What had happened to him? Who had caused this? The silence was broken as he managed to speak.
"Tauriel, I know not why I ever had a hope that you could love me, and I know that you are not oblivious to my love either. I see who your love is for, so i will leave you at peace. All i ask is that you release the grip that you have held over my heart."
And with that his hand caressed her faced and gently traveled down her arm to take hold of her hand.
He kept his eyes on their hands linked together and marveled at how perfect hers felt invaded in his fingers. Legolas stole a glance up to her face looking into her deep pine green eyes, then back down to her hand as he gently kissed her it, a tear sliding down his face. He didn't dare look at her again. He wouldn't be able to leave if he did. So he turned on his heal, eyes focused on the snowy dead ground as he put distance between himself and the only creature on middle earth and all of the undying lands that could capture his heart. " Let this go, let it go" we're the words he spoke to himself as he limped away trying not to show his pain." Let her go..."
