Chapter 6 Departure Again

Please tell me what you think so far in your reviews. I still have many more chapters to write.

Summary: Arwen left Lothlorien, she finds Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. Aragorn and Arwen, obviously very pleased to see each other.

Next morning the company awoke bright and early. Aragorns and Arwens passion for each other was unbreakable.

"We must move out quickly, if we want to find Merry and Pippin," said Aragorn "Alas I feel they will be beyond our reach by now, Uruk-hai travel throughout night, and day."

"Let us not give up hope," said Gimli. Arwen whistled, and Laessurian came trotting towards her. "A fine mare," said Aragorn approvingly.

The company set out in search for the two Hobbits by following the tracks. They stopped, as they were soon spotted by the Rohirim; Riders of Rohan.

"Tell me what business, brings a Dwarf, and Elf, and two rangers to Rohan?" Said one that appeared to be their leader.

"We seek our friends, Hobbits who were taken by Uruk-hai." "We met a group of Uruk-hai, yet left none alive, we burnt their bodies, over yonder," he pointed to a clearing, near Fanghorn Forest, where corpses were buried high.

"You did not see any Hobbits then, they would look like children to your eyes?" asked Aragorn. "We slew all that we saw, but believe me your friends were not among them."

"Alas we have failed then," said Legolas. "I am sorry for your friends. By the way my name is Eomer, brother of Eowyn, son of Eomund. You are welcome to our city, Edoras. Take these horses." He whistled, and two came forth. "Farewell for now," and he left taking the riders with him.

The company walked gloomily over to where the bodies burned, dreading what they might find.

They searched in vain, but then Legolas picked something up "One of their belts," he said grieving.

"Wait," said Aragorn. "A body of a Hobbit lay here." "And here," said Arwen. "I admire your tracking skills," he grinned at her.

"They had their hands bound," she said. "They dragged themselves along the floor," he said "And they must of cut their bonds, for here is some rope." "Footsteps leading into the forest," put in Legolas.

They stopped to eat, and think for a while. "I wonder what possessed them to go into that godforsaken forest," Gimli wondered.

Arwen jumped to her feet "I have to go." "Huh?" said Aragorn, clearly not hearing.

"I must go," she said running to Laessurian, she felt a strong hand restrain her. "Arwen why must you leave?" Aragorn asked, his face had a worried expression. "I have to go to Minas Tirith, Gondor must know." "Arwen wait, what must Gondor know?" "My father saw it, Saruman is breeding an army in Isengard, he will try to attack Rohan, but then Gondor must not go o their aid, because Sauron will bring his army to Gondor near enough the same time."

He turned her around with firm hands kissed her softly, then passionately. "Go Arwen," he whispered, she did not wait. She ran to Laessurian, flung herself onto her, and dashed towards Minas Tirith.

Legolas watched Aragorn hold back tears, he hated to see his friend grieving for Arwen.
