Neemas POV

The elleths words were still fresh in my mind. Would love always fail? Oh who am I kidding?! Do I really love Haldir because a part of me says yes and then another part of me doesn't know.

When he kissed me though I felt passion, almost a sort of hunger as well. I never wanted it to end. It has been two weeks since our kiss and now I feel as though I always want to be with him.

I look out of the window just trying to tire my mind out so that I may be able to get some rest. Hard to do in a hallway though. That'd when I hear two other ellon voices talking and one sounds mad.

Following the voice I barely look around the corner and see my uncle talking with a very upset King.

"I assure you Thranduil, Neema was protecting her sister. Willing to lay down her life for her." Uncle tells him.

"I know that! I was the one who found her lifeless body! That marchwarden you promised her to he has even confessed to her." Thranduil yells.

"Why does this concern you? Neema and Haldir will marry for I have seen it. So has the lady of the light." My uncles says as he stands perfectly still.

"What future could he provide her with?!" The king asks still angry.

I don't understand why he is so mad? Does he want me out of there sooner? Why was he angry with Haldir?

"A happy one. As I have stated before they are destined to be together even if they were torn apart once." My uncle says.

The king doesn't say anything but storms out in the opposite direction I was in. Summoning up my bravery I walk forward.

"Uncle what was that about?" I ask him knowing he probably will not tell me.

"Some things are better unknown Neema. Go get some rest." He tells me about to walk out.

"I can't for I am restless. I worry for Bel and other things as well." I say as I then feel myself yawn.

"Neema rest will come, go lie down and let it come to you." He says as he walks out.

Why does everyone here treat me like a child?! I sigh about to leave myself when I hear someone else enter. I look behind me and see Haldir looking at me.

"Neema, are you well?" He asks me.

"Yes, restless and so many other things I can't describe." I say with a sigh as he comes to my side.

"Neema you can talk to me. I will listen to anything you tell me." He says taking my hand in his.

"I love you, yet I fear the words that horrible elleth told Legolas as I." I say as I look into his eyes.

"I love you Neema and no words will make me think or feel otherwise. What did the elleth say?" He asks putting his hand on my cheek.

"Love fails, it always does." I tell him as a tear rolls down my cheek. "I don't want it to fail."

Haldir takes me in his arms and holds me close to him.

"Our love will not fail Neema. We control our love and our lives not some crazy elleth." He says as he pulls away and looks down at me. ''I swear Neema our love will not fail."

Sorry this one is short but I'm sick and super distracted. I will update more!
