Hey. I was thinking recently that Lord Elrond need him some lovin'. Everyone else gets ladies thrown at them left and right. But not poor Elrond. So here is his chance at love too.

The sun rose high into the sky cascading a rainbow of colors around the room. A bird chirped outside the window of the room. The sounds of bustling servants could be heard from outside the door. And then a knock sounded.

"Milady," came a voice on the other side, "your father wishes your presence in the dinning hall."

"Tell him I will be down presently," came the reply of the young woman resting upon the bed.

"But milady," came the reply.

"I said I would be down presently," came the tense reply. "It's either that or not at all."

"I will tell him milady."

The sounds of footsteps disappearing down the hall made the young woman smile happily. Her father Denethor the Steward of Gondor was sending her older brother away. And Lavandella was not about to let that happen willingly. Or with her blessing.

A few minutes later a knock was heard at the door.

"I said I would be down present..."

She was cut off by her older brothers Faramir and Boromir walking into her room.

"We know full well what you said Della," said Boromir. "I just couldn't go off to Rivendell without saying good-bye to my favorite little sister."

"I'm your only little sister," she told him.

"So you are."

"Here you all are," came the voice of their father. Denethor walked into his daughter's room and sat down in one of her chairs. "Why did you not come down to breakfast? Your brother leaves for Rivendell within the hour Lavandella."

Not without me she thought to herself.

Lavandella looked down at her feet sadly. They say that she looked like her mother. That was why she always seemed to get her way. "Father why can't some other person go to Rivendell?" she asked. "Boromir and Faramir where going to take me on boating trip tomorrow."

"This can not be left to some other person," snapped Denethor. "Now say good-bye to your brother and get done with it."

He stormed out of the room. Everyone stared in shock at young reddish blonde haired girl. She always got why she wanted. Why hadn't that happened this time.

"It's not good-bye forever Della," Boromir told her. "I will be back within the fortnight."

That is what he always told her when he or Faramir went on one of their journeys. They weren't going away forever it was just going to be a fortnight. But the thought always lingered in the back of her mind. What if it turned out to be more than just a fortnight? What if it did turn into forever?

"I know," she said wrapping her arms around her older brother's neck. "I will miss you big brother."

She knew she wouldn't miss him for that long. She had a plan in place since she found out that her brother was going to Rivendell. And it would be easy for her implement it too. She had everything she need all set up. She just needed her brothers to leave the room.

"I will make sure to bring you something pretty back from Rivendell," Boromir told her.

If all went according to plan she would be able to bring back her own pretty things from Rivendell. She smiled and nodded not giving away a single one of her thoughts.

"I must go now," said Boromir.

Boromir and Faramir left the room after giving their sister a quick hug each. After seeing that both men were gone Lavandella snuck out her secret passage way. The hallway she found herself in was deserted so she quickly changed into her disguise. If her father was that bull-headed about sending Boromir to Rivendell. She was going to go too. Just try to stop her.

She quickly joined the party that was getting ready to leaving for Rivendell. She smiled knowing no one would realize she was gone until noon time. When she and Faramir usually had lunch. And by that time it would be too late to recall her.
