Gone

T.A. 2511

Rivendell

3rd POV

Elronds' eye snapped open, as he sat straight up. He looked around the room, to find he was alone. The voice still lingering in his mind.

~"You better find her, before it's to late."~

(Find her?)

Thunder roared, along with lightning cracking across the sky. Glancing out the window, watching the rain pour down.

Elrond threw the covers back, heading to Lìvias' room. He had to know.

~~~

He opened Lìvias' door, just as lightning flashed. Finding it empty.

"Lìvia?" He asked walking in, hoping she was just hiding.

But no reply.

Elrond walked around his daughters' empty chamber. His eyes landed on the bed, as lightning cracked, he saw a scroll, laying at the end of the bed.

Sitting on the bed, he lighted the lantern on her stand, reading the scroll.

-T.A. 2510

Dear Ada,

If you are reading this, then you know I am no longer here. I have caused everyone too much pain. I have yet to regret my decision.

Even though I am no longer, a sister, in the eyes of some. I still will write this goodbye.

When they return, I do not know. Tell Elladan and Elrohir that I'm sorry, for everything. Also tell them thank you, for everything I've learned. Tell Arwen I'm sorry as well. I believe she will be happy, now that I'm gone.

I do not regret leaving, Ada, not yet anyways. I just have hurt everyone. Its better if I just leave.

I did not want to say goodbye, but.. maybe goodbye is a second chance.

I will miss you all.

Goodbye.

- Your daughter,

Lìvian -

Elrond read an re-read the letter, over and over. He let her words sink in, that she is gone.

She left.

Just like he left her.

The promise he did not keep.

Hot tears rolled down his cheeks, but quickly wiped the away, when he heard the sound of horses.

Elrond placed the letter back, where he found it. Grabbing the lantern, he left the room, to see who it was.

Hoping it was the one lost, but that is unlikely.

Looking out, over the rails, there came two brown horses, entering one gate, and a white one entering another. But all three stopped in the court yard.

He met them, as they approached the to of the stairway.

"Children."

'Ada.' They replied, hugging their father.

Once they parted, Elrond asked.

"Arwen, what are you doing back so early?"

"Grandma, said something was wrong, and that I must return."

So Galadriel knows.

"Indeed. She is not wrong."

"What do you mean?" Elladan asked.

"-Lìvia's gone."

"Gone? I do not understand." Arwen cried.

"She left. Leaving a letter goodbye, as well." Their father replied, holding back his tears.

They could not believe their own ears. Their sister left. Gone. With no idea, of where she could possibly be.

"We have to find her!" Elrohir urged.

"How? She has been gone for a year. You'll never fin her, she could be a hundred miles by now."

"Or just ten, my Lord." Lindir's' voice came over the rain.

They all turned and found Lindir starring out West, of the border.

"Lindir, what do you know?" Elrond asked, frantically.

"Of her whereabouts, I do not know. She comes back every sunset, so I know she is alright."

Elrond and his children were somewhat relieved.

"But, - I fear something is wrong, for she has not yet shown herself."

There was silence, hearing the rain.

'Ada.'

Elrond turned, facing his son.

"We think we know where she is."

He nodded.

"Go. Find her."

The twins ran down the stairs, and back into the rain. Grabbing their horses, and off into the woods.

~~~

The rain still pored, as they ran though the trees. They ran till they came upon a clearing. Hoping to find their sister, but found orcs instead. Dead, across the wet grass.

"LÌVIA?!" Elladan shouted, walking over the dead bodies.

"SQUIRT?!" Elrohir called, doing the same.

"I don't believe this." Elladan whispered.

They then heard a coughing, choking noise. They found an orc, still alive, tied up, blood everywhere. Looked like it was tortured.

"Not more, - elves." It hissed.

"How did a creature like you, get like that?" Elrohir asked coldly.

"That!" it shouted, taking a beep breath. "She-elf!"

"Lìvia." They whispered.

"Where is she?!" Elrohir barked, holding his sword out to the orcs' neck.

"Bound to be dead by now, with that poison in her system. No, elf can live that long."

"She's not like other elves." Elrohir replied, raising his sword, cutting off the orcs' head, clean off.

The body, then fell to the ground. Cleaning off the black blood, off his sword, Elrohir heard his brothers' voice.

"I found her!"

Placing his sword back, Elrohir ran to his brothers' side. Getting down on his knees, like Elladan, he saw their sister motionless, in her brothers' arms.

Eyes closed, pale to the bone. Covered in black blood, on her face and clothes.

"Lìvia?" Elrohir whispered, wishing for a response, as he checked for any sign of her breathing.

He sighed in relief.

"She's still alive."

"Not for long." Elladan replied, moving her tunic, to reveal a long gash across her left collarbone.

"We need to get her to 'Ada', quickly." Elrohir stated.

Elladan picked up Lìvia, bridal style, heading to their horses.

"I still can not believe, your sister did this." Elladan whispered.

~~~

The rain no longer poured, or fell, only puddles, remained. It was a silent night. Only to be caught in shouting.

'Ada! Ada!' The twins cried, getting off their horses.

"Elladan?! Elrohir?!" He replied, now seeing his sons and a motionless daughter.

"Valar, no." Elrond whispered, meeting his sons.

"Hurry, 'Ada.' She does not have much time." Elladan said.

Elrond was confused, till Elrohir showed him the gash. He quickly took her from Elladans' arms, and into his.

"I want an explanation, when I'm done."

"Yes, 'Ada.'" They replied.

~~~
