Never met someone like you. [Legolas Story] *Wattys2014*

On the Run.

Hello guys! In all honesty I don't like the new profile update. But I have to get used to it. What are your opinions?

Valerie's POV:

        I looked at my bloody hands through my blurry eyes. I couldn't move except to stand and tremble. Everything happened so quickly, the police and ambulance arrived Skylar and Legolas quickly grabbed me by the shoulders and started dragging me towards the direction of home. Skylar was shouting something at me but I couldn't figure it out her voice was far far away. 

***

        I didn't know how we got to my apartment all I saw was the familiar white walls of my living room. I was seated at the couch while Skylar closed the curtains of each window and Legolas came back with some leaves and a rag? I didn't know what they were for but all I know was in a few seconds he put the rag against my nose and I suddenly was popped out of my bubble. 

"Val, are you alright?" Skylar asked as she stood in front of me. She had a few bruises and scratches but nothing major like Legolas as he had a cut in his shoulder staining his sky blue polo. "I.. I... " I couldn't get the words out. Legolas looked beyond concerned, "Val! Val! Spit it out!" Skylar cried out worriedly. "I.. I.. killed a living creature," I said softly, Skylar sighed heavily as she plopped on to the chair next to the couch. "Valerie, look at me." Legolas said but I didn't obey as I looked at my dirty hands once more, covered in dirt and black blood. 

He then guided my face with his hands and he looked at me as if he was staring right into my soul, that stare that made me weak in the knees no matter what mood I was in. "Valerie, you killed an Orc. You had to... It was evil," Legolas said as he leaned his head against mine. "It was either your life or his." Skylar spoke out. Suddenly Skylar noticed that her knee was bleeding as she pulled up her pants, "Oh my God... Legolas can you go get the band-aids," Skylar said as she examined her knee like it was dead since she kept poking it. "Bandaids?" Legolas asked as he turned his head to Skylar. 

Skylar looked at him with a look that says 'Seriously? you don't know what a band-aid is?'  "Bloody elf and their lack of knowledge of modern society." Skylar murmured as she stood up and went to get band-aids herself. Legolas then looked down at his body and his hands and then he asked me "Do I got blood on me?" which I couldn't giggled at. I was too angry, too sad to even laugh or giggle. "Valerie, you must let this go... I have killed thousands of Orcs and possibly more but it doesn't mean I am evil." he said 

"That means you are brave, you can kill one and not feel any grief." I said as I crossed my arms to hide my hands away from my sight. "I have a friend back home, he is a wizard named Gandalf but we call him Mithrandir... he once said 'Bravery is not knowing when to take a life but when to spare one' ." he said. "He sounds wise," I commented, "Valerie, we will get through this. I promise." he said as he smiled at and as Skylar came back with her jeans ripped up and me trying to smile. 

The windows exploded on their own making the three of us jump to the ground to take cover, Legolas enveloped me in his arms but still parts of the glass cut through my skin. "Gosh! Talking about overly attached Girlfriend!" Skylar shouted as she looked around the room wide eyed. Deyanira's laugh echoed through the room. "We need to run," Legolas said as he quickly got up and went to his room. He then grabbed his weapons which made me and Skylar wide eyed. "We can't go out in public with those! We might get thrown in jail!" I cried out still staring at his two big swords (I know it is daggers but Valerie doesn't know that) "Then we must think fast because if we leave the weapons behind Deyanira can throw anything at us that is worst than jail-- What's jail?" Legolas asked

Skylar rolled her eyes and shouted frantically "Dungeons, prison... dragons! Gah!" as she threw her hands in the air. "Dragons?" Legolas was shocked. "She's being sarcastic," I quickly said when suddenly all the electronics in my apartment started sparking up getting the curtains and carpet on fire. "Noooo!" I cried out as I saw the flames consume my apartment, all my hard work!

"We need to leave now!" Skylar shouted as she was already making her way to the door. Legolas grabbed my hands as we started running for our lives. Out the door we ran just right before an explosion came from my apartment, the fire alarm rang loudly as people started panicking. I was dazed at the moment, I couldn't feel the sadness that was clawing at me not too long ago and I couldn't feel a part of my humanity slipping away. This was madness. These things only happen in a fairy-tale. When I was 16 I tried so hard to convince myself that fairy-tales only live in books and it took me a long time to realize that my knight and shining armour won't come to sweep me off my feet on a white horse and live happily ever after. 

We got out of my apartment building still running while some of my other neighbors stood in front watching the flames devour their homes. As we turned to an empty alley, the three of us put our backs against the wall, breathing heavily. "That was some final destination shit happening back there." Skylar said, "Maybe I should just surrender myself." Legolas spoke randomly which made my head and Skylars' snap towards him. "Are you crazy? That Female dog is gonna rip your head off-- literally!" Skylar cried out but I ignored her as I said "You can't Legolas," but he turned to us especially me and said "But I am putting you both in too much danger." 

"But that's what people do when we care about each other... No matter what the danger is we'll still stand together even if it is in the middle of a war." I said which I was kind of proud since I just thought of it quickly. "It's not that..." Legolas tried saying but couldn't find the words when Skylar spoke up "Legolas we'll fight this together," but then Legolas cried out as he grabbed my shoulders and started shaking it a bit "I CAN'T LOSE YOU VALERIE! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH! I CAN'T LOSE YOU LIKE HOW MY FATHER LOST MY MOTHER!" more like shouted. 

Skylar stood there awkwardly as me and Legolas were connected with an intense gaze. "You won't lose me... Legolas," I said trying to assure him when I wasn't even sure myself. A tear escaped Legolas' eye and I wiped it away and before anything else could happen between us or before anyone could utter a word the trash cans in the alley started flying around violently. "We need to keep moving." Legolas quickly said as he led the way.

        It was already night time, after the escape of the empty alley. The only things we encountered were moving cars and exploding light posts. "When can we stop running?" Skylar asked out of breath. "We can't unless you want to replace Igor." I said flinching as I said his name, the person or creature that I just killed. 

Legolas looked at me and smiled. "Why are you smiling?" I asked and he just brushed a strand of hair behind my ear and said "Even in danger your beauty still shines." which made me blush. When suddenly something else happened that wasn't suppose to happen to me nor Skylar. We fell.

Fell through the ground. I couldn't see anything but darkness but I could hear Skylar's loud scream and mine. Then another thing happened.

We landed on grass.
