10. Chapter 10

Summer and Arwen ran around Rivendell, laughing as Elladan and Elrohir tried to catch them. Running around the corner the girls bumped into Glorfindel and Erestor who were on their way to inform Elrond of something and paused to why Arwen, off all eleths, would be running around the corners with smile on her face, the twins bumping them as they also turned the corner. For a moment there was silence. Before the two older elves broke it by laughing "Well, it must have worked if your running around like that!" Erestor laughed as the group of six began walking to Elrond's study still laughing at the twins expense. "Alright, now that you've had your fun, you must change them back. There is a meeting in Mirkwood that we must attend and we are leaving tomorrow." Elrond chuckled slightly as Summer pouted and Arwen was still smiling at her brothers.

"You know, I was going to put in dresses, but Arwen said it was too much. Consider the color of your clothes some kind of mercy." Summer stated and took her wand from the holster on her arm and wordlessly waved it to change the twins clothes back to their original color. "The dye however, is not from a spell, we actually did dye your hair, and though I COULD use a spell to change them back, I WON'T!" Summer exclaimed as Elladan and Elrohir looked at her with horrified faces and started for the door before Arwen called "She could have done worse!" Then she too left the room to pack for the journey to Mirkwood, Summer looking at Gandalf to silently ask if she could also go, to which the grey wizard nodded with a smile before she too left, leaving the wizard and elf lord in the study.

"Gandalf, do you think she is hiding something?" Elrond asked as he continued to think about her sudden immortality issue "She is undoubtedly hiding something. In the years of our travels, she avoided the topic revolving around her family and friends, explaining what was necessary and telling of their adventures in the span of only four years. Before she came here. Her personal life is still a mystery, your children as well as Legolas and Tauriel may be the only ones know anything at all, while her skills and abilities are well known. In time though, I know that she will eventually tell us of her family." Gandalf finished confidently "Perhaps an ancestor or parent was of immortal descent. If so it is a possibility that the enemy will seek her out in the future, she must know this." Elrond said solemnly and went to stand in front of the window, Gandalf sitting in one of the chairs by the desk to think. Meanwhile, Elladan and Elrohir began packing their now normal clothes, everything changing back when the spell was lifted an hour before and spent the next three hours removing the orange and pink dye from their hair. Arwen had finished packing and went to help Summer sort out which clothes she would have to wear, dresses being more of what would be expected of her despite her dislike of some dresses, the twins knocking and entering at the call of the door being open.
