'Run Away' Rin
"Damn it Rin, I said aim for the target not your uncle's window, which I might add is about 180 degrees in the other direction!"
"Just shut up and run!" the girl, Rin, said
"No wonder they call you 'Run away.' That's all you do"
"Shut up!"
Rinuwe was running through the city of Rivendell hoping to avoid a lecture she knew would be coming. She was Lord Elrond's niece but that didn't mean he would be lenient when she just broke a 1,000 year old window.
Her dark brown hair whipped against her face as she ran with one of her only friends away from the crime scene. Her green eyes chanced a look back at her black haired Elf friend. His dark eyes stared angrily at her.
She knew she shouldn't have even tried to use a bow and arrow especially since she could barely hold it steady long enough to aim let alone hit the target. She knew she was hopeless at all weapons but yet still after 300 years of life she still tried.
They finally stopped behind one of the houses and sat panting.
"Lord Elrond is going to kill you"
"I know Tyrael!"
Rin slumped to the ground and shut her eyes.
"How on earth can you be an Elf and that horrible at any kind of weaponry?!"
"When I figure it out I'll let you know."
"If you weren't so good at healing your uncle would have already sent you off! I bet if he knew what he was in for when he took you in he would have left you in the Wilds"
"Thanks for your confidence"
"No problem" he said as they both started laughing. "Now remember—"
"—I know. You had nothing to do with it. Go. I'm sure Arwen will soften him up a little before he finds me"
"Bye Rin"
After Tyrael left, Rin chanced a glance up at the window and she saw Lord Elrond ready to explode. She saw Arwen come up and as Rin thought was calming down her uncle. She was in for it now but she'd wait a good while before going to face his wrath. She watched for a long time and he finally stopped yelling and went back inside. Arwen glanced her way knowing that's where Rin always ran off to. Rin headed back up
"How mad is he?"
"If this was the first time it wouldn't be too bad"
"I know" she said "You'd think if he's got the gift of foresight he'd know when I'm about to shatter a valuable window"
"You'd think so"
"Well I better let him yell at me"
"Stay silent. Avoid your usual remarks"
"Right"
"Good luck"
"Promise you'll intervene if I can't handle it?"
"Promise"
Rin smiled at her cousin and headed into the house where Elrond was waiting with his arms folded.
"Vedui Uncle"
"Rinuwe Undómiel what on earth is going through your head?! Have you not tried before and failed! Even when you tried to be careful you ruined a valuable window that can never be replaced!"
"I'll never learn if I don't try" Rin interrupted
"You've been trying for almost 250 years! You have yet to show any improvement! Why? Is it lack of motivation? You just don't want to? What?!"
"I don't know! Look, I know I am a far from admirable Elf but I am trying. I mean, I'm not trying to break your things but I am trying to be the niece you want me to be. I want to make you proud of me. If there is anything I can do, please tell me"
Elrond sighed deeply as his niece stared at the ground.
"Rinuwe. I took you in and I hope you do not think that if I'd known you would cause such chaos I would disown you. You're right, you are far from admirable in many ways you for what you lack in most skills, you make up for in other areas. I have given up completely on your fighting abilities but now I think it's time to work on your diplomatic skills. This I know will be difficult for you but still something you need to work on"
"What are you getting at?"
"You're going to Mirkwood to see King Thranduil. We'd like to convince him to send his troops to aid in the war."
"No way"
"You don't really have a choice, Rinuwe. Either you go to Mirkwood or you spend the next 1,000 years of your life putting every last piece of that window together"
"Hmm, after much thought I've decided I'll go"
"Go pack. You leave tonight"
"Tonight!?"
Rin could see his teeth clench and decided to back out. Arwen was waiting to hear what happened.
"Did you know?"
"Know what?"
"That your father is sending me to Mirkwood?"
"Oh dear god" Arwen sighed. "Thranduil definitely wont send is troops now"
"Hey!"
"Anyway, whether you convince Thranduil or not, my father probably needs some time away from you"
"He's needed that since I arrive. I sure am a failure as a niece especially one in such a family" Rin said sitting down on a bench. Arwen joined her.
"You're not a failure. You should hear him talk about your healing abilities"
"That I'm horrible"
"More like how good you are"
"It's a miracle"
"No its not. He even thinks you might possess the same gift of foresight both he and your mother have or had"
"If that was true I never would have tried the bow again" Rin joked
"Well, you should go get ready. If you're late it will not help your situation." Arwen said "Oh, and pack a dress"
"I don't have one"
"Borrow one of mine"
A few hours later Rin was rushing down to the main entrance where Elrond's caravan was waiting. Arwen warned her but she still wasted time and was half an hour late. She moved her legs as fast as she could down the stairs and ended up getting tangled in her stuff and fell. Luckily Tyrael caught her at the bottom.
"I'd leave before Elrond gets down here"
"Right"
Tyrael pushed her up on the horse and slapped it so that she went off.
