I didn’t know where I was going, I just let my feet do the moving. I ran down the many corridors until at last I saw a way out. I sped up until finally my feet were on the cool grass and I stopped. I spotted a tree, it was a weeping Willow. They were my favourite, for two reasons. One; for some reason they always reminded me of the type of trees that fairies would come out and dance under. And two; they make me think of winter. I don’t know why. But nonetheless I always found them beautiful.
As I sat under its protective leaves I could think of nothing but him. His voice was kind, ‘but so was his’, and he radiated power. I could feel his presence pulsing about the room. But it was a different kind of presence. ‘No it wasn’t, he’s just like him’. My heart was thundering in my chest, I could feel the dread seep through every pore in my body. He was coming for me. No he couldn’t be. I’m dead and in Middle-Earth, there’s no way he could find me. ‘Oh yes there is, do you doubt him. Don’t be so foolish girl. You underestimate him. He’s your father. He can do what he wishes, he told you so’. Could he, could he find me?
My arms were itching and I could feel the tension building in the pit of my stomach. I had to do it and quickly, if I didn’t I was going to explode. I re-traced my steps carefully- I didn’t even remember tracing them the first time.
Finally I reached my room. Rushing through the door I set about trying to find my rucksack. Surely they were some in there, I wouldn’t ever leave the house without making sure that I had a razor with me. It took me 40 minutes of frantic searching before I finally found my bag. Somebody had stashed it at the back of my wardrobe.
My arms were on fire and there were tears threatening to fall. Despite my blurry vision I tipped the contents of my rucksack onto the floor and searched through everything. There it was, a bright yellow packet of brand new razors. I still didn’t remember packing anything. I didn’t move a muscle, I stood there like an idiot. My arms were burning, the bile was rising in my throat, the familiar pangs of guilt were already knawing at me and the tears were falling.
Grabbing the packet I ran to the bathroom and shut the door. Without Hesitation I pulled up the skirt of my night-dress. I had only just come to realise that I had been running around Rivendell in nothing but my night-dress.
My legs weren’t as badly scarred as I usually cut my arms, but right now my arms weren’t an option so my legs would have to do. As I drew the razor across I felt nothing but bliss. Watching the blood seep out of me and bubbling on my skin was like letting out all my feelings and watching them collect into a neat package that would just disappear along with the blood as it flowed down my leg. Instead, unlike the blood, the feeling wouldn’t disappear. They would come back the next day and the day after that.
I carefully took a wash rag and cleaned my leg. The sharp pain was there but I could live with it. I felt exhausted.
Getting up from the floor I opened the door to find something I did not expect.
She opened the door and stood still, her eyes locked on my form. Currently I was stretched out on her bed, my head was resting on my arms, and I could smell her scent still clinging to her pillows.
She nervously licked her lips and shut the bathroom door. She walked towards me carefully. She was weighing me up, trying to find something that would allow her to turn me away. Our eyes locked. She had decided that she could trust me for now. I motioned for her to sit next to me. We stayed like that for a while, in a comfortable silence.
"Thalia," I had to ask her.
"Why did you run from Lord Elrond?" she looked alarmed by my question.
"Legolas…I…I", she started but could not finish. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears and her face was marked with the tell tale signs of previous tears.
I said nothing and I did not ask her to continue. Seeing her distress I sat up and opened my arms to her.
She looked at me and chewed her lip in deep thought. Then with a childlike quality she crawled into my lap. Her slender hands gripped my tunic tightly as if she was afraid that I would leave.
I could feel a wet patch start to spread on my shoulder. She was crying. I didn’t tell her to stop. Instead I stroked her back in soothing circles and began to rock her back and forth. Her form seemed to melt into mine and within minutes she was asleep.
I looked down at her sleeping face. She looked peaceful. With her still safe in my arms I laid down. There was no way that she was going to allow me to leave, even in sleep her hands still gripped my tunic.
I was warm and comfortable. I could feel strong arms locked around me, holding me in a protective embrace. Legolas, I’d fallen asleep. I hope he doesn’t mind. I looked at his face. His handsome chiselled features were relaxed in sleep and his eyes were open but glazed in elven dreams. He was angelic to look upon and he had a heart to match. I shifted further into his arms and felt his arms tighten around me. I slowly fell back into the world of dreams, feeling safe and secure for the first time in five years.
