Belowins POV
I grab the edge of my gown and run as fast as I can back to the room. Shockingly I did remember where it was. I couldn't leave Neema to take that crazy elleth alone.
I burst through the doors and my Uncle, Haldir and Legolas look at me.
"We have to help Neema!" I yell at them.
That makes all of them look to the table where she was once laying and see her body is no longer there.
"Where is she Belowin?" Uncle asks me.
"She saved me, the elleth tried to kill me after I questioned her. The elleth would have killed me but Neema stopped her." I tell in a panic I know I have to get back to Neema.
"How she was barely able to move?" Haldir questions.
"I don't know but I really don't have time to try and explain can we go help my sister before she really dies?!'' I scream at the three of them.
Neemas POV
Standing with twin daggers in my hand facing this elleth who has caused enough trouble for my sister.
"Well it looks like you just won't die. Too bad after all I have no true fight with you." She tells me as she turns my way with a wicked grin.
"It became my fight the minute you decided to try and kill my sister. You picked the wrong family to mess with elleth." I tell her as we now circle each other.
"Family? From what I hear you are just a little run away. Couldn't stand to marry Haldir? I had a go at him but then your sister stopped that. Or did either of them not tell you Haldir had affection for your sister?" She asks putting her hand on her hip.
"It matters not, my sister is married and happy. That is all I care about."
The elleth scoffs at me. I knew she was trying to fill my head with lie but I even now I was curious if it were true. Did Haldir love my sister?
"Your so selfless its sickening." She says as I notice her take out a sword that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
The elleth attacks me first but I easily block her. She is testing to see how much I know. She won't be me and if I have to I will kill her with or without the kings permission.
I'm able to keep the elleth on her fight, I have learned to fight like an elf, man, and dwarf combined so I have a bit of an advantage. Hey when you've been around the world you pick up on things.
Still after all our fighting she somehow manage to get get me on the ground with her blade to my throat.
"Once you are dead I will kill your sister and her child." She tells me as she raises her sword and when it is only a few centimeters from my neck it clashes with something.
Looking to my side I am somewhat relieved to see Haldir holding a sword before my neck. He was able to block the elleth sword.
Jumping back knowing she is out numbered the elleth turns and makes a run for it.
"Someone shoot her!" I yell at them.
Surprising that Bel grabs Legolas bow and strings and arrow. Taking her aim she releases the arrow and we all see the elleth fall.
"We better go make sure she is dead." Legolas says.
Haldir offers me assistance but I stand up on my own. Not knowing the truth about him and Bel makes me just want to stay away from him.
I walk over with Legolas and see my sisters arrow has pierced the elleths heart. Legolas turns her over and makes her look at us.
"Love will fail, it always does." Were the elleths last words to Legolas and I.
Her body starts to shrivel before us and eventually turns to ash before being carried away by the wind.
"What do you think she meant by that?" I ask Legolas.
"I'm not sure but I know it can't be good." He replies as we look back to see Haldir talking with Bel.
"Have we both been blind or are we jumping to conclusions?" I say not turning my head.
"I love Belowin, she is my wife and we are going to have a child. I won't let anything come between my family." Legolas says as he goes up to Belowin and takes her out of the dungeons.
Haldir looks over at me. A part of me wants to know the truth yet another part of me is scared to ask.
"Do you love my sister?" My lips say before my heart or brain can stop them.
Haldir walks up to me with a confused look on his face.
"Bel is my friend, once yes I thought I wanted more than that but I know that I don't now." He tells me trying to take my hand.
"Its a yes or no question. Answer it in that way." I say as I pull my hands away from him.
"No, I do not love Bel any longer." He says as he takes one of my hands in his even though I didn't want to.
"You did once, then you figured out that she would never leave Legolas. Yet I happen to come in looking so much like my sister. You tries to replace her with me." I say trying to pull away.
"I would never! I know you and Bel are different! I cannot change the past nor can you but I forgave you when you ran from our wedding." He tells me.
What? He knew about that this entire time? Yet he was still kind to me and didn't judge me for my past...the exact opposite of what I am doing to him.
"You knew?" I question him.
"Yes, I actually had seen you once before all the marriage business. I thought and still do think you are the most beautiful elleth in the world." He says putting his hand on my cheek.
'"My sister and I look just alike, how could you tell the difference? "
Haldir smiles as he looks me in the eyes. Almost as if he was hiding a secret.
"Your eyes are green as Legolas pointed out, you have more freckles on your arms than your sister and you were the one that never left my heart even only after seeing you one time. I wasn't sure it was love until I saw you again but now there is no denying it. I love you Neema.' Haldir tells me as he leans in and kisses me.
I don't resist for the first time in my life I allow someone to show me to what its like to be loved.
