Rain pounded hard against the glass windows of the room.
A flash of lighting and thunder cut through the rain. Eowyn sat up with a jolt.
She knew she should not be afraid of such things, but fear got the better of her.
It seemed like yesterday that her parents had left her and Eomer alone.
Eowyn wiped away at her tears and stared out to the night sky from her window.
She turned towards her door and opened it gently, not making a sound.
Checking there was nothing but darkness in the halls, she silently crept into her brother's room.
Eowyn curled up next to Eomer and felt the warmth emitting from his body, seeming to reassure her.
She felt a strong arm draping itself lightly across her.
Eowyn smiled and thought no more.
