Too Far Gone: Elrohir POV

When I next wake, sunlight shoots through the leaves on the trees and dances upon my face. I feel it rather than see it, for my eyes are still closed.

I sigh as the rays of the sun bathe my weary soul with their light. My hand is grabbed by another. It is probably either Ada’s or Elladan’s.

“Elrohir, come on. Elrohir, open your eyes, my son.”
It is Ada then. His hand squeezes mine as I try to open my eyelids which feel like they have weights on them. I blink a few times to straighten the blurry images. Ada’s face comes into focus a few moments later, his eyes sparkling with joy.

“Ada?” I manage to croak. Wow, that was painful. Note to self: Avoid speaking, it hurts my throat.

“Yes, Elrohir, it is me. You’re making rapid progress, though you’re not breathing as well as I would like you to,” he says.

I flash him a grin. Elladan will be so happy when Ada tells him how much I have improved. Elladan /wait./

Now that I am more aware, the previous night’s events come back to me with a burning feeling of regret.

*Glorfindel rocking a limp Elladan*
*Elladan’s pale face*
*My sense of loneliness*

“Elladan?” I cry pitifully. Ironically, that doesn’t hurt my throat.

Ada’s strong arms wrap around me and he picks me up. I am too weak to walk to ‘Dan’s bed. He sits me down on Elladan’s bed, though he still holds me tight, so I can see how my brother fairs. His hair is unkempt, his face pale, his body unmoving except for a slight movement in his chest. I would have thought him dead if Ada did not place my hand on his chest so I could tell that his heart was still beating.

“What’s wrong with him, Ada? I just don’t understand.”

“My beautiful son, he was consumed by his grief. He blamed himself for your sickness and was so upset about your declining condition that he wanted to die. I suppose he is waiting for you.”

“But Ada, I am not leaving for Mandos’ Halls, yet.”

“No, my son, you aren’t.” I quickly realize now what father is saying. My brother, my twin is waiting for me to travel with him to Mandos’ Halls. He will give up on me and die thinking that I never tried to save him. He is going to die, and I, the one who was supposed to die, will survive.

My spirit screams in agony. This not fair! This was not supposed to happen. We were supposed to grow up together and be there for each other always to confide in. I can’t just be left here alone!

“I’m so sorry, Elrohir. He’s too far gone.”

No, it isn’t possible, it can’t be possible! My brother is NOT going to die, I will NOT let him. My tears fall down onto ‘Dan’s face. This is going to destroy our family.

*too far gone*
*too far gone*
*too far gone*
