Hello my darlings! I was watching the Return of the King, when these ideas popped in my head. So this is going to be compilation of a bunch of one-shots, and for those you reading "Fear" please bear with me the next chapter will be up soon :)
I hear whispers move among the men. They seem confused, so I step out of my tent to investigate the commotion. That's when I hear it:
"Why does Lord Aragorn leave on the eve of battle?"
This cannot be, he would not abandon us. He would not abandon me. I go and seek him out, I must speak with him. I find him preparing his horse for travel. I was suddenly furious, he was leaving! How could he just leave us?
"Why are you doing this? The war lies to the east. You cannot leave on the eve of battle. You cannot abandon the men." I plead with him.
He looks at me for a moment. As if trying to decide what to say.
"Ěowyn..." He sighs. That voice makes me weak at the knees, but I need to focus. I don't think I could bear not having him near me.
"We need you here." I try and plead again. I can tell something is bothering him, like he's trying not to hurt me.
"Why have you come?" He asks. How could he not know why I would come to him now? How could he not know that I love him? That I have loved him since I first saw him? I take a deep breath, trying to calm and steady myself.
"Do you not know?" I counter.
He seems to consider this for a moment. Then he looks at me with those striking blue eyes, like he's trying to commit my face to memory. He raises a hand a places it lightly on my cheek. I feel myself flush and warmth seeps through my body at his touch. He looks in my eyes as if he is searching for something. And then, without any warning, his warm rough lips were on mine. It was a gentle kiss that contradicted his rugged appearance. I let my eyes slip close and my hands found their way to snake into his hair. That's when he pulled away, resting his forehead against my own. We stay like that for a moment, until he straightens up.
"I have wished you joy, since first I saw you. But I cannot give you what you seek." His whisper is barely audible, but every word is like a dagger to my heart. I feel the tears spring to my eyes, I cover my face and race off to my tent. My heart feels as if it is about to burst out of my chest in complete and utter agony. I hear the whispers pick back up, and despite myself I poke my head outside. The last thing I see before he disappears into mist and shadow, are those striking blue eyes looking as if they are trying to take it all back. All the little glances, touches, conversations, the kiss, everything he has done to make me fall for him, he is trying to take back in that single glance. That gives little, but some comfort. I know he never meant to lead me on and hurt me. So for this, single, and probably, the last glance, I will forgive him.
I hope you guys enjoyed it, please remember to review :)
