--------------------
Part VI. Repercussions
Haldir slammed the door behind him shut with a loud bang. He paced the room agitatedly glancing around, breathing heavily. He stopped abruptly and looked at his hand. He unfurled the tight fist to reveal the glimmering blue stone. He closed his eyes a look of agony upon his features, as he let out a deep breath. ‘Eru, what have I done!’ he thought dejectedly, the stone dropping to the floor with a dull thud. It winked up at him as though laughing at him, mocking him for even daring to hope Legolas could possibly be his.
Hdn’tdn’t meant for this to happen, he truly hadn’t. His anger had taken over his actions beforecoulcould think through what he was doing. He had fled, but knew Erestor had awoken and seen him. ‘What will Legolas say, what will he do, when he finds out about this? Oh Elbereth save me from my own folly. I onanteanted to be loved. Is that so much to ask for?’ Haldir thought pitifully as tears slid down his pale cheeks. ‘He’ll never forgive me for this! Never.’
With a scream muffled by biting on his closed fist hard enough to draw blood, he fell to his knees and sobbed helplessly, the blue stone lay beside him all but forgotten in the early morning light shining through the open window.
~~~~~
Legolas awoke to the sound of sobbing, the form embracing him trembling. He could feel wetness upon his neck and his hair was damp from someone’s tears shed while hiding their face in his hair and the crook of his neck. He blinked up blearily, trying to find out who it was that was in such a state of distress.
At the moment he could only make out a sheen of ebony locks falling over his shoulder. The figure was rocking back and forth in not quite concealed sorrow. Well, a black haired figure holding him in a bed. Didn’t take much to figure that one out.
“tor?tor?” He asked softly, his voice filled with concern. Why was his lover acting like this?
Erestor started, not realizing Legolas had woken. “Legolas,” he sniffled.
Legolas turned in his embrace to face the grief-filled advisor, surprised to see the red-rimmed eyes and dry tear trails. Legolas lifted his hand to brush away another stray tear from Erestor’s eye, his face edged in worry.
“Meleth-nin, what has happened?”
“It’s gone.” Erestor whispered so softly that Legolas had to strain to hear it.
Legolas’ brow furrowed in confusion. “Gone? What’s gone?”
This caused Erestor’s body to wrack with more sobs. Legolas quickly pulled the advisor into the warmth of his embrace, letting Erestor lay his head against his chest.
“Shh… Shhh.” Legolas said comfortingly, soothingly running his hands through the advisor’s ebony locks. “It’ll be okay, meleth. I’m here now. Tell me, what’s gone?”
“Th-The pendent.” Erestor whied bed brokenly. “I’m so sorry, Legolas, it’s gone.”
“Shh… Don’t worry, love. Where has it gone?”
“I-I don’t know. Someone, someone took it.”
Legolas frowned. “But, how? You never take it off.” Legolas grew alarmed as the body he held stiffened.
“I-I had it on. Someone came in last night and snatched it, breaking the chain from around my neck.” Erestor fought against another sob.
Legolas’ eyes widened. How had he slept through this? Okay, he knew the answer to that, but it didn’t help the situation knowing his lover had been threatened while he was recovering from too much Dwarven Mead. Legolas looked at Erestor’s neck, noticing a tiny trail of a mark and trickle of blood, left by the chain as it had bit deeply into the soft skin. He closed his eyes, and kissed the spot, tasting the copper tang of blood. Erestor failed in his attempt to keep the tears at bay.
“Who was it?” Legolas asked, his voice hard. Whoever did this was going to pay, if it was the last thing he did.
“I-I don’t know!” Erestor wailed. “It was dark, I had only just woke up before they disappeared. I couldn’t see. I’m sorry. So sorry. It’s gone.”
“Hush now, ‘Restor. It’ll be okay. It can be replaced. I can have a new one made if you wish.” Legolas was more troubled by the fact that someone had been in their room than he was about the lost pendant.
Erestor shook his head in dismissal, turning his watery silver eyes to Legolas’ blue ones.
“You don’t understand. It’s /gone/”
Legolas looked at his lover in confusion. He understood Erestor was frightened about the intruder, but he couldn’t understand why he was so upset about the pendent. It wouldn’t be difficult to have a new one made to replace it. It could even be identical if Erestor wanted it that way. He was more concerned with the fact that he hadn’t been there to protect his love when he had obviously needed him.
“It’s alright, Erestor. I can get you a new pendant. You needn’t concern yourself with that.”
Erestor groaned in frustration. It looked like Legolas didn’t quite realize just how much the pendant had meant to Erestor. It was more than just a pendant to him, it was symbolic of their relationship. now now that it was gone… well Erestor didn’t know what to feel or think or do. He was numb. With another muffled sob he leaned back into Legolas’ embrace too exhausted to do much of anything else.
Legolas let him rest, ignoring his own body’s sickness to care for that of his lover’s. He soothed him with words of love and devotion, and sifted his hands gently through the soft ebony locks hanging down Erestor’s back.
Legolas would get down to the bottom of this, but that could be later. For now, he had to concentrate on making his lover feel safe and comfortable in his warm embrace.
t.b.c…
Notes: Yep. A whole page and a half or so more than last chapter. XD So Haldir feels really REALLY bad about what he did. I’m trying to convey the fact that he’s not really evil or anything, he’s just overcome by his jealousy. He truly regrets what he’s done. Now, what will he do to fix it, hmmm… And yes, he will do something, not that it will necessarily be out of the goodness of his heart. There will, of course, be ulterior motives. =3 I’m so evil. And yeah, Legolas was a mite thick in this chapter. I suppose it in a way shows some of the differences in both their age and personality.
Whenever I write while listening to Evanescence(which has been like the last three or four chapters) the angst factor in the story seems to skyrocket. Hrmm… maybe I should listen to happy music for a few cheery scenes. But that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun, now would it. XD So what do you guys want to see in the next chapter(s)? More angst? Or some fluff? Have no clue what kind of music fluff would come from, but I’m sure I could find something. =)

bernstein_nixe: EVen I'm not completely sure how the pairings are going to work out. I have an idea in my head but I'm not sure if it will work. I put it up mostly as security measure. XD I personally hate having new pairings sprung on me so I figure this way, even if it doesn't work out, at least no one will yell at me for springing it on them. =3
sivan: Here's more. ^_^
Twilight: He already feels quite ashamed of what he's done, but you're right, it's going to get worse before it gets better. =P
erobey: Yes, Erestor is furious, but at the moment he's still in shock. I mean, he was almost attacked by a stranger in his own bed chamber. That would put a strain on anyone. Legolas is definitely outraged. Not to mention worried. Yes, he does care for Haldir as a friend, and perhaps holds some affen fon for him, but the events in this stwillwill definitely put a strain on their relationship.
Minuial Nuwing: lol. Yeah, Erestor is having some trouble dealing, but Legolas will kiss him and make it all better. XD
trustingfriendship: Yes, it was wrong, a fact Hal is painfully aware of. >_<
Talia: I didn't imagine this when I originally planned the story out either. I was writing and it just sort of happened... =3 Legolas' reaction depends on whether or not he finds out it was Hal who stole the stone to begin with. I haven't quite figured out what I want to happen yet... =T As for Erestor... he's not taking it well at all...
