Chapter 2 - ARABETH
Arabeth found herself ridding to Bree, where she was to meet with Aragorn and Gandalf to take Frodo who possessed the Ring of Power to Rivendell. She had taken the decision to return to Rivendell so that she wouldn't have to cross paths with her father but destiny, her old grey mentor and her best friend/adopted brother were making her return to the one place she did not want to return. Al thought she did miss her sister Arwen and her brothers Elladan and Elhrohir. Arabeth arrived to Bree at night time, she knock at the gates of the village waiting for the gate keeper to open the gate.
He opened the little window in the gate door to see who it could be at these hours of the night.
-Who is it? What do you want? - the gatekeeper sounded kind of rude but Arabeth just ignored it adjusted her cape so her ears wouldn't be noticed.
-I need to get to the Prancing Pony - the gate\keeper opened the door as Arabeth came down from her horse.
-You're a Woman, I think you might as well return after all this is no place for women specially at this hour- the gatekeeper took a look at Arabeth from head to toes, and when her eyes returned to face hers, She quickly took out her sword and placed it under his neck.
-I have a business of own to take care of in the inn, now if you will please let me pass, I wouldn't want to leave the village without its gatekeeper? – the old man nodded and Arabeth let down her sword and she grabbed the reins of her horse and she started to walk to the inn.
The village of Bree which was located at the east of the Shire; South of Fornost Erain in Eriador was frequently visited by Men and some Hobbits. Rude, drunk and mostly aggressive men frequented the village. Arabeth left Ghost in front of the inn and gave him a treat before entering the inn. She was welcomed by who seemed to be the owner and bartender of the place.
-Good evening my lady, if you are looking for accommodation we have a lovely room for you to stay in- the bartender seemed nice but she didn't care she only wanted to find Aragorn and Gandalf.
-I'm looking for Strider- the man choked a bit hearing the name, the rangers had already a very bad reputation but with Aragorn joining them and giving his name as Strider made a the reputation get worst
-His right over there in the corner my lady, you shouldn't be messing around with him my lady- said the man a little nervous pointed to the darkest corner of the inn.
-Why not? He is my business after all – that's when the men looked right into her eyes, Arabeth deep blue sky eyes turned into a yellow orange kind of color and the guy got spooked and she went to where he had pointed a minute ago. She sat next to Strider who like her was hooded trying not to draw to much attention to his direction.
-You just couldn't resist couldn't you? – said Aragorn in a whisper knowing that she could hear him like that because of how good where elves hearing.
-Everyone kept calling me my lady, I got tired of it, plus the gatekeeper and the bartender thought because I was woman I shouldn't be here – Arabeth didn't like to be reminded what all her life she had been told, she was a lady and she had to act like one but she never was one of those lady like she elf, she loved action, adventure, weapons and fights. So Lord Elrond in order to make her happy he had Arabeth trained to be a warrior but without getting in the way of her proper training of becoming a lady in the process.
-That's your explanation to your little show just now? You're attracting too much attention - Not many knew about her powers at least not outside Rivendell until she joined the Rangers, it was her way of making everyone fear her. Sending everyone who would cross her path a warning of how powerful she was and that she wasn't to be mess with.
- Don't start with the pet talks beside, is good for your strider reputation to be seen with me as is good for my reputation too- she was tired of everyone treating her like a baby she had more than two thousand years.
-This isn't about me Ara is about you, Lord Elrond is right for your own good you should go back, marry, have a family and sail to the undying lands- as Aragorn said those words Arabeth could swear she could hear her own father speaking.
-This isn't you Aragorn why are you telling me this you're the one who I thought I had in my side- Arabeth could see on he's expression that something had happen for him to mutter those words that where so unlike him.
-I'm just telling you this because I care for you- Aragorn looked at her with a love and security a brother only could give.
-No you are doing this because of Ada aren't you? What happened? - Arabeth knew that her father had to have had a conversation with him turning him against what he believed in.
-Nothing- Aragorn insisted this time not turning to see her, backing up in his chair and continued smoking.
-Strider! - Arabeth called his name
-I said nothing Ara – said Aragorn turning himself into Ranger Strider mode.
-Where's Gandalf? - Arabeth backed herself in her chair changing the subject.
-I don't know but we have strict orders, get the hobbits, and take them to Rivendell with or without him- said Strider replying only the necessary.
-You think something could have happen to him? - Arabeth couldn't just do anything else but worry over her mentor.
-Don't worry Ara, Gandalf can take care of himself-said Aragorn trying to assure Arabeth.
-Yes I know- said Arabeth forming a believable smile on her face to convince Aragorn that she was okay when the truth was the worry was eating her.
