Subject: Guilt Author: Faeirex [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:49:49 04/03/02 Wed Go to the palace? Still with her back to the elf, Faeirex's eyes widened. The emotions that she was struggling to control flooded back up inside her. The guilt that she thought she had put behind her was back. They had been right, she reflected grimly. A woman wasn't suited to do this. She had the power all right, power enough to do the deed. It was the aftermath that she couldn't handle. The solitude, the endless knowing what she had done, and what she had yet to do. She wasn't strong enough to go through it alone. How long had it been since she had had someone to support her, to love her and give her strength when she needed it? So long, ever since- It all tied together, didn't it. A single moment in time where everything changed, where she had to change too, or die with the rest. And now he asked her to go to the palace, to look into the face of Elessar, knowing what had happenned. She couldn't stand it, the guilt. Sorry would never be enough, she couldn't change the past. No past, only the future. Her future. She couldn't let all the years of waiting go to waste. She had to continue. She walked back to him. The time for disguises was over. "I can't go to the palace. Please, don't make me. No-one can know I'm here. No-one - do you understand me?" Faeirex could hear the powerful emotion in her voice. Would he listen? "You have to trust me. If I come out into the open, everything I've worked for will be lost. I'll die. Don't make me do that." No lies this time. Just the need for somebody, anybody, to erase that deep feeling of loneliness. There were tears on her cheeks, she could feel them. Stepping close to him, she tilted her head- he was only about an inch taller than her- and gently kissed him full on the lips. Then she stood facing him. She looked defiantly into his face, but her body quivered as she tried to hold back the tears. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
