Why?

AN: This is about what Elrond was thinking when Arwen told him that she gave up her immortality for Aragorn. Yeah, I know, it's been done before, but oh well. Review please! Criticism is welcome, but only if it is CONSTRUCTIVE!!!

Disclaimer- In my past life, I owned it!

*Spoken in Elvish*



Elrond, half elvin, ruler of Rivendell, sat. He awaited his daughter, the Lady Arwen, Evanstar of her people. In his heart, he knew what tale she needed to tell him. A noise jarred him out of his thoughts. A quiet knock sounded on the door, but to Elrond, the knock was louder than dwarven footsteps.

"Enter"

Arwen entered the room, almost hesitantly.

"Arwen, you bring me news." It was not a question.

The Lady Arwen bowed her head in response.

"Well?"

Elrond could see tears dripping down her face, and he knew that what he presumed was indeed true, but waited to hear it from her, in hopes that he was wrong.

"Well?" He again demanded, harsher than he meant.

"I have given up my immortality for Aragorn Lord Elrond."

It hurt him that she referred to him as Lord Elrond, when all of her life she referred to him as father.

"Lady Arwen, what meaneth you by that?" The Lord of Rivendell questioned.

Arwen gasped slightly at her father using her formal name, but let on nothing. "Exactly what I said."

"How could you do this?" Elrond now was callous in demanding.

"Because I love him. Not like you would actually know what the word means father" Father was spoken in a very sarcastic tone.

Elrond's eyes flashed furiously, and he replied "How could you do this to me? Why must you punish me? First your mother left, now you? What about the people of Rivendell? You have an obligation to them."

"Blame me not for what you allowed happen to my mother!" Arwen shouted, and Elrond immediately knew he had gone too far, but at Arwen's next words, he immediately had no regret.

"If you hadn't chased her away, she never would have gone to Lothlorien!"

"How dare you! You never knew what I went through after she left, you were to busy wooing every elf lord in Rivendell!"

"What you went through? The day after she left you—"

"Enough! Both of you!" The voice of Elrohir rang through the room.

"Father, you should be ashamed! Arwen has found someone she loves, and you accuse her of driving mother away! She's your daughter, and you should be proud that she—" he was cut off by Elrond.

"I have no daughter."
