The Risk

        Mourning for my sister once more was something I didn't want to get used to. I stood over her grave once more. "I forgive you sister." I whispered to her grave. "I remember when we were kids and we would fight over who would be Polly Pocket. Especially when we would both play Princess and you would always tell me to be the pauper. I miss my sister. Not the sister who was driven by madness. You were my sister Ally and I would've shared anything with you... if you just could've asked." I whimpered at the last part as I broke down to my knees and knelled in front of her grave.

"But I forgive you Ally. I forgive that you killed our parents. That you tried destroying Middle Earth, that you stole my life and might have taken advantage of my husband. I forgive you for kidnapping my son. I forgive you." I whispered as I put my head against the ground when suddenly a hand shot up through the ground and grabbed my neck cutting off my air. I gasped for air as I tried prying her hand away from my neck then Ally's moldy and dirty body came bursting through the ground grinning menacingly, her eyes were all white and she had green molds all over her body and her teeth were black and grey. She hissed "You will never find happiness." As she cackled a laugh.

I gasped for air and woke up finding I was laid upon a bed. I looked around and noticed I was in Legolas' room in Mirkwood. My eye then saw Grandfather sitting at the edge of my bed. 

"Auggh! When did I get here?" I asked as I sat up but as I did a throbbing pain surprised me in my stomach. "Easy there now Ella, you got here 2 days ago." he said and I laid back in bed and asked "Where is my husband?" 

But then Grandfather asked "And may I ask who is your husband?" Suddenly I looked at Grandfather and noticed I wasn't in my time yet because Grandfather was still wearing his Grey robes. "Oh my, I am not in my time?" I said as I face palm myself.

"I am sorry Ella but we don't know how to get you home." he said that's when I shot up in bed ignoring the aching pain in my stomach. "You did it in my time, you must at least know something." I said almost too frantically. All he did was frown as he looked at me. The door pushed open and in came Thranduil holding Thalion. 

"Gandalf don't you think this boy has my eyes?" Thranduil asked as he and Thalion looked at Grandfather. "Ah, yes my King! You both have the same eyes." 

"Naneth." Thalion cried as he saw me awake. He got down from Thranduil's arms and ran to my bed. "My baby! Are you alright?" I asked as I checked for any injuries.

"He is alright, I made sure of it." Thranduil said as he gave me a smile which made me feel uncomfortable. "Where is Legolas?" I asked. Thranduil scowled and said "He is also in the healings but he might be on his way here. Why do you ask?" 

"I wanted to thank him because if it wasn't for him then I would have been dead and so would my little boy." I said half of the truth but mostly I wanted to see for myself if he was alright. 

"Oh, it is expected of him. He is to be the King someday." Thranduil said as he poured me a glass of water and helped me drink it which only made me want the ground to swallow me.

Just as Thranduil wiped a stray water that was dripping down my chin, Legolas decides to walk in and as soon as he saw the situation I was in he bowed his head. "I see Lady Ella is awake." Legolas said without making eye contact with any of us. "Yes, uh. Legolas, I wanted to say thank you for saving me. I owe you my life." I said, Legolas' eyes then connected with mine and he gave me a loving smile and I happily returned one as well. We both just stared at each other as if we had our on world when suddenly Thranduil cleared his throat obviously wanted to break whatever we had and as of now I was seriously getting annoyed with my father-in-law.

"Please tell me Gr-- Gandalf that you have at least answers to lead me home for I do wish to return. I miss my husband too much." I said and I didn't miss the jealous and sad looks of Legolas and Thranduil if only they knew. Grandfather made a face but then said "I might have a solution but it may be risky." 

"What?" I asked too quickly that everyone was shocked. "It requires jumping off a cliff and I'm not so sure that it would work." Grandfather said gravely which made me gulp and look at Thalion who was happily playing with my hair. "Then let's try." I said.

"Are you a fool Ella? Didn't you hear that he is not sure it will work-- if it does't then--" I cut Thranduil off by saying, "I die. I know but I rather die than live without my husband." 

"Why can't you just live with your husband here?" Thranduil argued and my eyes darted towards Legolas who was already looking at me. "Because it doesn't work that way." I said softly. 

"She is right Thranduil. She cannot stay. We must leave at once." Grandfather said as he stood up and walked out of the door. "Thalion, we're gonna go home." I said to him as I kissed his nose. "Legolas! Get my horse ready!" Thranduil commanded. "You're going?" Legolas asked with disbelief eyes. "Why of course! She is the chosen one after all." Thranduil said as he left the room.

"He is seriously making me uncomfortable." I stated once it was just me, Thalion and Legolas in the room. I then stood up as I put Thalion on the ground and looked at Legolas to see him staring at me with loving eyes. "Legolas, where's Tauriel?" I asked, just curious. Legolas' eyes then fell to the floor and he said "She fell during the battle of the five armies, she died protecting a dwarf." he spat the word dwarf.

"Now don't hate dwarves too much who knows you'll be good friends with one." I said just to humor myself. "You are saying I will be friend a dwarf. That day would never come." he said and laughed as he did not believe a word I said but then realization dawned on him "You are from the future.... Ay Elbereth." he said as he left the room clutching his head with his hand. I giggled and pick Thalion up. "Your Ada is so funny." I said to him. 

"Ada!!" he said as he pointed where Legolas used to stand. "Yeah, but shhh.. we must not tell him." I said and Thalion nodded.

"Come on Thalion! Let's go home!"
