"Was he injured?" Aragorn asked with full concern in his voice. tearing up hearing about the state of his friend.

"No my king, that was what worried me the most"

"Thank you" he bowed at up and I stared at Aragorn, without another word uttered we both ran in the direction of Legolas's chambers. When we got there, I pounded on the door but there was no answer. Aragorn pushed me to the side gently and laid his ear against the door to catch any sounds from inside. When he didn't say anything, I looked at him horrified. He slouched down against the door and put his head in his hands. I put my hand on the handle of the door and breathed in hoping that it was unlocked, I pushed down and just to my relief it was open. I bolted inside and what I saw in front of me made me go even paler.

Aragorn's PoV:

I looked up at Arwen as she bolted into Legolas's room, her face as pale as paper and I quickly stood up and followed behind her just as worried. What I saw made me feel physically sick and that wasn't just because I felt sick.

Legolas was sprawled out across the bed, his hair covering half of his face and his breathing rapid. He looked deathly pale and his eyes were empty. Just empty, as if someone had just sucked out his soul and left a body. But what stood out to me the most was his tears, the way they flowed down his face full of pain. They confused me so. Why? he never cries. His lips quivered as if trying to call out for someone he needed desperately.

Arwen walked forwards and grasped his pale hand causing Legolas to yelp slightly. She whispered soothing words in elvish as he kept muttering random words. Suddenly sense came back to me and I hurried forward and crouched beside the bed, taking in the scene before me. It looked as if Legolas was in his own world, talking to a random person that wasn't there.

"What is wrong with him?" Instead of answering my question she sat him up made him look straight into her eyes while he was still in his daze like state. I shuffled around to sit next to Arwen to get a better view of him.

Tears cascaded down his cheeks unstoppably and fell onto his hands below. A sort of pain filled my heart seeing him like this, well, of course, I would he is my friend. I was overcome with an urge to grasp his tear-stained hand in mine for some form of comfort for his aching soul. He looked down at me still in his trance and then forced his hand away from mine and wiped his eyes as he stood up.

I was shocked but Arwen just looked at him with sympathy. She understood everything but I didn't, I was beyond confused. What is going on? Why wasn't anyone saying anything? Why do I not understand? Is there something I missed? 

"Legolas you are okay?" It came out more like a question than a statement and I wiped my hands on my trousers and stood up. He now had his back to us, staring at the wall completely still. His hands were shaking still with shock or fear I didn't know but what I did know was that he seemed truly terrified, more so than I have ever seen him before. Ever. "You were not supposed to see that, what are you doing here? The both of you?"

"We were worried. Legolas I understand what is going on" Arwen spoke up and placed a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. I opened my mouth to speak but she silenced me with a wave of her hand. "Please, let me help you?"

"No elf or human has ever seen me that weak before" he turned around and gave us an intense stare.

"What about a dwarf?" He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off "so Gimli has seen this all before has he? You never thought to tell me?" I was hurt. Did I not mean anything to him?

"You don't understand"

"I don't care just what is going on!"  I demanded.

"Even if I wanted to tell you, I can't because it is not that simple" he said keeping his usual calm attitude as I stood there with nothing but confusion flowing throughout my entire body.  just minutes before, he was crying, shaking and calling out to someone who wasn't there.

"So it is simple to tell Gimli but not me? I would've helped you and I still Want to. Please"  we connected our eyes for a long while. I saw a debate going on inside his head and he opened his mouth to speak. "I-"

"Lassie? Legolas, I can't find Aragorn-" Gimli Why did you have to come in here now of all times?  "Oh hi, Aragorn I just wanted to see you. What are you talking about? You all look like ghosts" I growled and marched out of the room, shaking my head in the process "Aragorn?" I ignored his calls and carried on walking away to my chambers. To think.

He was about to tell me!

Or am I just overreacting? Was he going to tell me? Or was he just going to lay my hopes down?

Yes I know it was short I'm sorry 😐 the next one will be way longer I promise.
