Summary: Legolas is about to leave with the Fellowship but there is someone who doesn't want him to go. Will Legolas leave his past behind? Songfic. Feedback: poet_in_training03@yahoo.com My Immortal I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone. ~*~Allora turned her face into her tear-stained pillow. She breathed in heavily and sobbed once more before lifting her face to look out her bedroom window. Her closest friend would be leaving her in a matter of days, and she could do nothing to stop him. The agony of knowledge and the pain of having to wait was torture of the worst kind upon her soul; Allora wished it were already over, as she had never been good at good-byes.~*~ These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase ~*~Legolas had never felt this sort of pain before. In all his 3142 years of life, he had considered himself a loner and a wanderer by nature. That is until he discovered something in his heart that startled and frightened him. He loved her. Legolas had joined the Fellowship in representation of his Elvin kindred; and now the realization of the truth behind his actions hurt more than ever. When he joined, he had not considered his life important; however, upon lamentation, he realized that leaving Mirkwood and Rivendell would mean leaving the only one who ever really cared for him. It was something he could hardly bear to deal with.~*~ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all these years You still have... ~*~Allora sighed and slid from off her bed and after repairing her hair; she draped a cloak over her and stepped outside into the colder-than-natural night air. She began to walk and though she did not know where at first, she did however end up at Legolas' bedroom door. She had to tell him, there was no other option. Allora knocked softly, for fear of waking his neighbors; after all, it was the middle of the night. She heard the rustle of bed sheets and soft padding across the floor and slowly, the door was pulled open.~*~ All of me... ~*~Legolas sat up sleepily from his place in his bed at the sound of the tap on his bedroom door. He wadded across the floor, assuming it was Gandalf for who else would bother him at such an hour? And thus did not bother to clothe himself properly. Instead, he opened the door wearing only his leggings to face Allora. Allora glanced unbidden down the length of Legolas' body, and finally brought her face to face his own, startled gaze. "Allora, wha-?" Was all Legolas got out before he found Allora pressed neatly into his arms, her face resting solidly in the crook of his neck. "You still have it. You still have it all..." She breathed heatedly. "This hurts so much. Why do you have to go away?" she asked, knowing full well the answer he would give her she would not like and could not except. "Allora." Legolas said, still stunned by the sudden closeness of his best friend... The best friend of which all his most intimate and erotic fantasies dwelled.~*~ You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me ~*~"Legolas, if you have to leave, take me first." Allora said cryptically, and Legolas did not dare to presume. Allora went on: "Please... this is haunting me. You know I do not with for you to go away. I cannot sleep any longer, I cannot think, I cannot bare the thought of you going off to die. There is something I must tell you, Legolas." Allora took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "Amin Mela Lle. [I love you.]"~*~ These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase ~*~~Dig the knife a little deeper, twist it just a little more... there... a broken heart lays bleeding at your feet.~ Legolas gasped at the profession, a profession that he had deemed himself unworthy of. If he had only known how she felt a day earlier. If he had only had the courage to ask her himself. Legolas' reaction was only to clutch her violently to himself, and murmur the words back to her. She released a sob into his chest and pressed herself against him.~*~ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all these years You still have... ~*~"Allora, please, don't cry. I will return." Legolas breathed in her ear. "I know you will." She cried back softly. "But could you... would you..." she trailed off, looking him in the eyes. "I would do anything for you, Allora, you know, I want to be here for you in any way I can, while I can." He said softly. "Take me." She said then;~*~ "All of me..." ~*~Legolas gasped at the realization and with excitement. He had dreamed about this moment, though he wished it had not come during such a sad time. "A...Are you sure?" He asked, pulling away from her, putting some distance between their bodies. "You don't just have to do this because I'm going away... you know-..." Allora didn't let him finish. She crushed her mouth to his violently and shoved him backwards into his room. "Legolas, please, Amin Mela Lle." She whispered desperately. "I want to know you. And I want you to know what you will have waiting for you." Her eyes pleaded and Legolas melted. "Alright, Allora. Tonight, we shall know one another, and tomorrow, I shall go away missing every moment we spent together." Legolas said quietly, closing the door and leading Allora toward his bed.~*~ I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along ~*~Allora had been alone for 11 months. The seasons had changed from summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, and from winter to spring... it was once again summer in the Golden City. Allora sighed heavily as the news hit her full force. The War of the Ring was finished. She was staring out of her bedroom window when a soft rap on her door diverted her attention from the birds in the trees. "C-Come in." she rasped. The door swung open loosely to reveal a taller, buffer, weathered Elf. Legolas' blond hair was longer, his eyes were bluer, but his skin was just as pale and his smile was just as charming. "I'm home." He said softly, opening his arms for her. Allora ran to him, hugged him tightly, and kissed him thoroughly. "Creoso A Beramin. [Welcome to my dwelling.]" She said softly, wrapping her arms around his neck. Legolas smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned his forehead against her own and smiled. "Melamin. [My love.]" He said shortly, "I have asked your father for your hand in marriage. He has granted me permission to ask you." Allora gasped and hugged his muscular form tighter. "I could marry no one else." She said, and pulled away from him to look into his face. He kissed her. "Good. Because there is something else." He pulled away from her, and reached into a pocket of his tunic. Pulling out a small box, he presented it to her. "It came from your Grandmother. The Lady Galadriel; she told me that it was an heirloom that belonged in the family, and she wanted it to be your wedding ring... as it was hers." Legolas grinned as the box was opened and a silver moonstone ring was plucked carefully from its cradle. "Thank you, Legolas. It was thoughtful of you to ask my grandmother for my hand." Allora stated, sliding the ring on her finger. "I didn't ask her, but when I visited her, after Gandalf fell into the shadows, she saw into my heart, and she smiled down upon me." Legolas said... "After all...~*~ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all these years You still have..." ~*~"I know I do, Legolas." Allora interrupted him. "Just as you still have all of me..."~*~ All of me... ~*~"I'll love you forever." Came the husky reply as the sun sank below the horizon and left only the passion filled darkness...~*~ All of me... ~*~Fin~*~ Authors Notes: I do not own any of the Middle Earth places/things/people, other than Allora, I do not own the song and give full credit to Evanescence.
