Valadhiels POV

I woke up to the sunshining and a very tight grip on my waist. I turned around to see Legolas and tried to smile. A huge lump rose in my throat as I thought about last night. It was quite traumatizing if I do say so myself.

A few people would think that I was weak for not defending myself. I know how to, but it's easier said than done when your going against someone twice your size. Some say push your tears away to make you look strong. Easier said than done. It's not that simple and you certainly can't walk it off like it never happened. The memories came flooding back in as I reran through it all. Tears formed in my eyes as I bit my lip to prevent from crying. I buried myself under the covers as I tried to control my sobs.

Control yourself. I commanded as my crying went silent.

The covers were moved for a moment as Legolas snuck underneath and cradled me. I couldn't swallow the lump no matter how hard I tried.

"Valadhiel.... What is it you want me to do?" He asked pleading desperate to help.

"I want to forget it all." I whispered.

"I wish I could, but the only thing I can do is to help you heal overtime." Legolas spoke. I felt something wet on my cheek as I wiped Legolas's tears.

"If only had I walked you there would I be there to protect you. "

"It's nothing but Michaels fault." I spoke closing my eyes. His whole body stiffened at the name as he tried to control his rage.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked quietly.

"It was horrible it all began..." I spoke as I told my tale some points crying and some Legolas crying.

"It's all over." He soothed as I fell into a dark sleep.

Dream

I was walking through the gardens as I spotted Legolas sitting on a branch reading.

"Legolas!" I yelled joyfully. He hopped down, laughed, and spun me around.

"Valadhiel!" He smiled "good to see you!" He held out a dagger as his face became wicked and morphed into Michael.

"Miss me?" He asked

"Your not real." I breathed terrified to the spot "it's a dream. No it's a nightmare!"

"You're mine!"

Dream ended

I sat up bolted upright. I need water. I gently stepped out not feeling any pain as I gently walked over to the basin where a cup and water was. The words echoed in my mind over and over again until I broke the cup.

Calm down. I thought. Just a nightmare. Nightmares aren't real. I picked up the pieces and threw them away....

Legolas POV

Dream

"Valadhiel!" I called looking for her in our game of hide and seek. "Where are you?"

"Right here my king." A sickly voice made me clench my jaw.

"Tauriel!" I roared "GIVE ME MY WIFE!"

She smiled "oh I won't kill her.... Yet... I just want something..."

"What??" I snapped seeing the bloodied beads forming at her throat.

"You. Start a new life with me buy her freedom with your love. This is the choice! The point of no return." (POTO REFRENCE!)

"No! You wouldn't!" I let out a cry of fear "not her!"

"Then you will belong to me forever!"

"No!"

She pressed the bladed further as Valdhiel gasped "you tried my patience. Make your choice."

I wanted to reason with her, but I didn't know how well she was going to listen. "I don't love you Tauriel. It's time to let go!"

At that moment the blade slit across her throat as Valdhiel fell lifeless.

"NO!"

End of Dream.

I opened my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. I patted the space beside me and it was empty. I bolted upright as I sat up digging in the sheets for Valadhiel like a madman.

"Valdhiel! Valadhiel!" I shouted so frantically still digging.

"Legolas!" She called as she rushed forward embracing me tightly.

"Oh my stars!" I cradled her and rocked back and forth trying so hard to calm down.

"What were you doing up? You could hurt yourself! Do you know how much of a heartattack you gave me?"

"I-I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep." She cowered a bit in fear. "Bad dream."

I softened my gaze on her. We were both traumatized like 24 hours ago.

"I'm sorry." She said worried that I was upset. "I really am."

"Oh I could never stay mad at you." I hugged her tighter "we were traumatized like 24 hours ago so it's understandable."

She gave a light laugh as I smiled grateful for it.

She turned around to face me as she moved hair out of my eyes.

"We'll get through this together. I promise."

"I promise." I spoke smiling "I'm supposed to be comforting you! You were like seriously injured!"

She laughed "the perks of being an elf."

We would get through this together, I know I would try to keep my promise that is for sure.
