Only Love Can Hurt Like This (Haldir Fanfic) *wattys2015* (book 1)

This Feeling

Haldir's POV
I watched as Nienor walked into her room. Then I walked back to the river. She was so beautiful. I knew I was in love with her. My heart was taken by her. Maybe this was the elf that I would marry. I must tell her how I feel.

Nienor's POV
I watched Haldir walk away. I felt like I had known him forever. I loved him. Stop being silly! I said to myself. You have only known him for one day! I changed into a nightgown and went to bed.

The next morning, Haldir was waiting for me outside. He smiled at me and took my arm.
'May I take you to breakfast?' I smiled and turned to Beleniel. She smiled at me and replied
'I can look after myself, Lalaith.' I frowned at her
'Beleniel, I told you it's Nienor.' She rolled her eyes and replied
'What ever!' I smiled at Haldir then at Beleniel.

We walked for a long time, talking about nothing. Then Hadlir helped me sit down on a log.
'Neinor can I tell you something?' I nodded
'I love you Nienor.' I gasped and looked at him. He wasn't joking. I laughed and replied
'I love you too, Haldir.' He looked at me.
'No way!' We laughed together and he picked me up and swung me around. I laughed as he kissed my cheek.
'Haldir, I feel like I have known you forever.' He laughed
'So do I.' I could tell he was telling to truth. We laughed and walked back to the dinning room for breakfast.

We walked and Beleniel turned to us and called out
'Come on, there's like nothing left.' I smiled and slipped in next to her. Galadriel smiled at me and asked
'Lalaith why did you change your name?' I looked up form my plate and replied slow
'Nienor means sadness. I have lost my parents. Is that not a good reason to change my name?' Galadriel slowly nodded. Haldir looked at me from across that table.
'My lady Galadriel, may I please teach Nienor how to use a sword and bow?' I frowned at him.
'I can use a sword and I don't have patience for a bow.' Haldir smiled and said
'I'm going to teach you how to use a bow and daggers then. And you need to prove to me that you can use a sword.' I smiled and replied
'When do we start?' Haldir got up and walked towards the door.
'Now.' I grabbed some bread and run out of the room after him.
Haldir lead me to the weapons room.
'Choose a sword.' I quickly finished off the bread and ran my hand over the sword handles. Then I picked up one with a leather grip. I swung it in the air. It was light and sharp. Haldir smiled and nodded his approval. Then we walked outside and Haldir drew his sword. The he attacked. I quickly blocked his attack and slung around him, now in the place where he was standing. I hold my sword out at him. Haldir smiled and said
'You think like a warrior. Like your father.' We shared blows and blocks and I asked
'You knew my father.' He smiled and replied
'Your father taught me.' Then we stopped. Haldir took my sword and handed it to an elf.
'Come with me.'
