A Thousand Years (LoTR/Harry Potter)

Chapter 24

Alex's P. O. V.

Legolas was interrogating Dalena. I was too distracted by 'the thing' behind the curtain. I walked over to the curtain.

My hands were shaky. I reached out for the curtain, the moment my hand touched the curtain, I felt something wet. I looked at my hands. Blood.

I pulled the curtains open. I gasped and fell backwards. Katie... she's dead. Her hands and legs were tied up. There were big, deep cuts. It was like nails digging into her flesh then ripping the flesh out. Bones were jutting out from her stomach and back. Her beautiful face, now slashed. Her once beautiful hair, now cut off.

She was killed probably last night...

The corpse is still fresh...

Lily broke down.

I was still, I didn't know what was happening. I felt tears roll down my face. So many are dying because of me... and my best friend, close to being sisters, is now dead, tortured till her last breath.

I felt a pair of arms around my shoulders. I looked up. Legolas. I cried on his shoulder.

Why did Alaya take Katie? And Willy? And those 4 students who died by the fire? Why can't she just take me?

I'd sacrifice all I have for the innocents. Even my life...

Wait... that's it.

I need to get to her... tonight.

Later that night...

I watched Legolas' eye droop. Soon enough, he was snoring away. I put a drop of Sleeping Potion in his drink earlier this evening.

"I'm sorry... " I whispered.

I walked over to my bag of Lembas, my equipment and a pouch of vials with potion in it. I took everything, and put them in place.

I bent down and pecked Legolas' lips.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered again.

I placed a letter beside Legolas.

I blinked the tear in my eye away. I took my wand and sword. I pushed open the window, then jumping out, landing on two legs. I quickly ran towards the Dark Forest, not looking behind.

As much as I don't want to do this it's for the sake of Middle Earth and the Wizarding World.

Legolas' P. O. V.

My eyes opened, I shot up from bed. What happened?

This is unusual. It's so quiet.

I felt something beside me. A letter. I picked it up, and opened it.

Dear Legolas,

I've left. You were knocked out, and yes, I did it. I put Sleeping Potion inside your drink. But it has a reason behind it.

I had to get away, away from Hogwarts. The innocent wouldn't be hurt this way. You wouldn't be hurt. I know you would have came along, or you'll probably 'convince' me not to go or do something stupid.

You wouldn't want to kill your own mother right?

So many died, Legolas... and partly, it's because of me. I'm bringing this war Legolas. Now, I need to stop it.

I know what you'd say. 'Alex, why blame yourself? How many times have I told you, it's not your fault? I don't want to lose you again...'

Well, I don't want to lose you too. Also, I'm a stubborn girl.

But the point is, I believe that this war can be stopped, just like I believe our long ever-lasting love.

Tell my father and brothers that I love them.

And if I don't return, I just wanted you to know, I love you with all my heart, Legolas.

I will always love you. Through fire and water, I promise I will come back. Just believe.

It's not a goodbye yet.

Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au' (My heart shall weep until it sees thee again)

Love,

Alex

No...

I've lost her again.

A/N:

I have a really bad habit of leaving you guys hanging at a cliffhanger.

Get it? Get it?

Hanging on a cliff hanger?

No? Nevermind.

This is a pretty short chapter, to me, and I realized this chapter goes on quite fast.

Anyways no updates for a week coz I have exam for the whole two weeks, starting from Wednesday and ending on the following Tuesday. So yeah... I need to study.
