I opened the door while wiping away my tears.

Hopefully Eomer didn't hear me cry.

I curled up next to him, trying to take up as little space as possible. A tear rolled down my cheek.

I shivered a little. My teeth were chattering with either cold or fear, I do not know.

I felt Eomer move beside me, he must've known I was here.

Before I even knew it, I was in his arms, warm and... safe...

My brother must have known about Wormtongue watching my every step, haunting my nightmares.

I closed my eyes and drifted off into darkness.


Eomer woke me at dawn.

Once again, I found myself in his arms. I closed my eyes as he pulled me into tight embrace.

We broke apart when the sun had fully risen.

I went back to my room and leaned out of the window, it was calm after the storm.

Eomer joined me shortly afterwards.

"Remember this day, little sister."
