(THORIN POV.)
"Thranduil?" I ask while he did not move a muscle.
"Thranduil... My Flower, Wake up please." I ask again, he did not awoke.
I touched the bandage from the left side of his face.
It was bloody again.
"Thranduil... Are you ever going to wake up for me?" I ask him with a sigh of pain and grief.
Why is my Flower so cracked? He did not deserve this pain. Any pain.
We came so far together, we tried and lost so much. It doesn't have to end. We did so much for us to survive.
Love is enough for us to survive.
He is all I have. I don't need gold! I need his gold hair. I need no diamonds, I need his big eyes to open. I need no money, I need his hands to hold me. I need no power, I need him to tell me he is alright.
Why did this happen?
I remember that we were in battle. All of us.
He too. It was nice to have my lover by my side.
Until his face changed.
I saw this only one time in my life. And I remember the painful look really well.
"THRANDUIL!" I yelled for him, but it was too late. He fell unconscious on the ground, with his scar exposed.
I rushed over him and took him to the healing wing.
His scar was a weak point of Thranduil.
This all happened three weeks ago.
Three weeks.
No sign of life, except for his heartbeat and breath.
No sign of my lover, complaining, hating, ruling, singing, eating, dancing, feeling, loving, bathing, hoping, laughing, jumping, screaming, riding, drinking, smelling, seeing, walking, being, going, wearing, wanting... I miss all of it.
No sign of life, only a heartbeat and breath.
We are loosing him more and more everyday.
The last thing he said to me, before battle was: 'love is for us enough to survive.'
"Thranduil... My Flower. Come back." I say again.
Silence
"Thranduil... Don't leave me here." I say and kiss his lips, half bandage and half dry and exposed.
I leaned on the edge of the bed with my elbows.
His eyes were closed. As three weeks ago.
His body was dying. Going.
I took his hand in mine.
"You are wearing our wedding ring." I say to him, while a sound of clicking metal against each other sounded while our rings touched.
Yes he loved our rings.
Our rings matched so beautifully good.
"If you die... I will not last long." I assured him with a sad smile on my face.
"And I will follow soon enough after you." I said with tears in my eyes.
Our hands locked together. As on our wedding. When he was so scared of loosing all of his nerves that he had to hold my hand.
It was a big step for us. A marriage.
Now again, our hands locked. He has to take a big step now.
Living... Or dying...
Thranduil took a really deep breath.
A different one.
A long one, as if it was the last one ever.
And it was.
There was no other breath after that.
No heartbeat.
There was no heartbeat.
I listen to his chest...
Still no heartbeat...
No Thranduil to love.
"Thranduil?" I ask him while he laid there. Motionless.
"Come back." I cried and hugged his dead body close to me.
"Come back now. You are killing me." I begged him with a cry of grief.
"Love is enough for us to survive. You told me that yourself! Come back NOW" I nearly yelled at him.
"Thranduil... Come back. You are sucking the life out of me. Come back now." I cried and hugged Thranduils body.
"Don't go away... I need you." I plead him.
"You make me so unlucky... That I can't breath." I say and looked a our locked hands.
"Love wasn't enough for us to survive." I stated and cried more over his dead body.
"But we were in love. We are in love. We will always be in love." I assured him.
Tears rolled out my eyes.
The only thing I live for is gone.
The door opened and Elrond rushed in.
"OUT OF THE WAY THORIN." He yelled at me and rushed to Thranduils bed.
"Its too late Elrond. He is gone." I cried, but he did not listen.
He opened the bottle in his hand and gave it to me.
"Drink the half of it, and quickly the other half to Thranduil." He said in a hurry.
"He is gone." I say again, refusing the posion.
"You can get him back, you can share your healness, and he can share his immortality with you." lord Elrond said and opened Thranduils mouth with his hand.
I was still holding his dead hand.
"Quickly, you have not so much time." He said and gave me the potion.
Is this real.
It can't be.
Its worth to try.
I took a sip of the poison in the small bottle.
"More." Lord Elrond said as I took a bigger doses of it.
"Now give it to Thranduil." Elrond nearly yelled at me.
I positioned Thranduil, so he could drink it.
The poison was in his body now.
No heartbeat.
"It doesn't work." I said to Lord Elrond with a sigh.
"Wait for a while. I am back in a second." Lord Elrond said and rushed out the room.
I look back at Thranduil.
No breath nor a heartbeat.
I cried again. And sobbed in his shirt.
"Come back..." I say again, but there was nothing to talk to.
Nothing.
"Love is... Is..." I try, but it is too much for me.
"Love is..." I can't do it.
No heartbeat.
"Lo- love... Is..." Tears filled my eyes while I cried in his shirt.
No Thraduil.
No heartbeat.
No life.
So much pain.
"Love..." I try again, but it is not true. I sob his shirt wet.
"Love is more then enough for us to survive." I looked up from his shirt.
His eyes still closed.
His mouth slightly open.
Breath.
My hand touched his heart.
Heartbeat.
"T- t... No..." I cry and hug him so close that he could never let me go. Never.
"I'm back." He whispered in a dry voice.
"You have a heartbeat again?" I cried while he patted my hair.
"I... Have yours." He said and stopped patting me.
Now I saw that our hands were still locked.
"I am... Tired... See you later... I co- come back." He assured me and squeezed my hand.
"I believe in you." I whisper back, while his eyes slowly closed and his body went to sleep again.
A heartbeat.
Yes...
We were conected. I was immortal now. And he was a part of me aswell.
Oh yes.
All I need from him is a heartbeat.
Heartbeat.
A heartbeat.
The heartbeat.
My heartbeat.
Our heartbeat.
