Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the rings, simple, pure. And I change the
stories a little, since she's Galadreil's grand daughter and Elrond's
daugher she has some powers.. so yeah don't beat me to much.. And sorry for
making this story to fast for SOME people to not understand. I like stories
to be a little fast so that no one gets bored.. But tell me if you think
otherwise.

Arwen rode hard into the day towards Helms. She wanted to see her love soon but she was not a ranger, and must rest eventually. She sat down by a bank of the river Andun. She refilled her water supplies and let her horse rest. She looked up into the sky and over the plans.
"Aragorn! I am coming!" She yelled across the land. It echoed and she was almost sure he had heard her. She wished she could contact him, but she could only pass messages to elves. She sighed and looked at her horse beside the river, bending it's head to drink. She needed to ride on.
"Come we go." She said. She jumped on the horse and yelled to it.
"Noro Lim!"
The horse reared and ran on. It was almost nightfall as she passed Fangorn forest and into the gap of Rohan. She stopped at its edges.
She saw a small black pile of ashes near the trees. She wondered what was burnt there. She did not have the time to linger. She rode on a little ways farther as she heard the calls of the trees. She was troubled in her thoughts but rode on late into the night. She came to the passing of Edoras, she knew Aragorn was not there, he needed to be at Helms deep. There was no use in wasting time.
She ran towards Helms deep but soon became very weary. The sounds of the forest were gone and she felt she could rest. She dropped down off the horse after bringing it to a halt. She laid a green blanket upon the earth and laid there until the sun of the morning came to the sky.
Her horse laid beside her and she slept, dreaming of her love. She thought of how happy we would be to see her. He smiled in her sleep.
As she awoke to the morning sun, she took some water from her supplies and washed her face. Her hair remained in waves, fluttering down her back. Her blue eyes seemed tired but even so searching for something.
As she woke her horse that opened its eyes, it got up and shook off. Arwen gave it some water and to herself some lambas bread given to her by Galadriel. She sighed and leaped on her horse once again. She rode for at least five or six hours before coming to see Helms deep in the distance. It looked filled with people, and many fallen bodied of orcs elves and men were upon the blood stained ground. She looked at the great fortress and saw holes blown through the walls and decided to quicken her pace.
She ran her horse down the slops into the grassy valley and over the small river to Helms Deep. The guard watched her coming and saw it was a maiden. He called out to the other guards to open the gates to let her pass.
"Please I must see your king, and lord Aragorn. He is a man, tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Please! I must make haste!" she said. The guard took a grave look upon her and shook his head down to the floor.
"The king, along with Aragorn and company, left this morning for somewhere we were not informed of." He said.
A look of shock came to Arwen's eyes. Her tears flowed down her cheeks. She was still atop her horse.
"No! This cannot be. I was informed by the Lady Galadriel that they..." She trailed off as he broke into her words.
"They left to the surprise of the king and Aragorn, Gandalf commanded it. I am sorry my lady." He bowed slowly.
Arwen had tears flowing down her cheeks. They were silver among her pale skin. She cupped her hand over her mouth and sank low. She shook her head fiercely.
"You must know where they were going!" She said through sobs.
Then Éwoyn came down the great steps at word of the maiden's arrival. She stopped when she saw Arwen.
"May I help you?" she said coming down the steps and helped Arwen off the horse. Arwen resisted her touch, she backed away towards the door, and leaned against it. Eowyn looked at her with concern.
"Come, we will bathe you and have you eat and at dinner you can tell us what we can do for you." She said.
"No!" Arwen yelled. "Tell me where Aragorn is!" Éwoyn looked surprised.
"He has gone with Gandalf. Legolas and Gimli are with him. Along with my brother and the king." She said softly. "How do you know of Lord Aragorn?"
"He is my love." She cried softly as she feel to her knees.
"Your. the girl he talk of and loves." She said stuttering a bit. Her voice was still kind though seeming angered. She stood now tall as Arwen was at the floor.
"He has gone." She said with anger, " And he is not coming back."
Éwoyn turned away from Arwen and headed up the stairs.
"Are you jealous lady Éwoyn?" Arwen asked her now getting up from the floor.
"No!" she said.
"Have you tried to kiss him? He loves me, I do not think he would go to you." Arwen said becoming defensive.
"You do not know this, he did love me whilst you were away, now you will never find him." She said simply.
"He will come back Éwoyn, though not to you."
Éwoyn took a sword from a soldier and pointed it towards Arwen. "Are you willing to fight for him?" She said.
Arwen pulled a sword from the sheath on her waist. She swung it around with her wrist before answering.
"Éwoyn, you don't want to challenge me."
"Yes I must." She said with rage and she tried to hit Arwen with the sword. Arwen jumped back and returned her hit by slashing through Éwoyn's skirt, revealing her white slender leg and drawing no blood. All the guards stepped back to watch the fight.
Éwoyn slashed at Arwen's stomach missing and Arwen thrust to Éwoyn's stomach. Éwoyn dogged and cut Arwen's arm slightly. Arwen jumped back grasping her cut but not letting go of her sword.
"You are Elf, I am mortal, I will win him!" Éwoyn taunted.
Arwen suddenly became enraged, though she did not show it. Aragorn's words flowed through her mind. The ones he said right before he left to come here.
"I am mortal, you are elf kind. It was a dream Arwen."
Her eyes teared as she took the next step towards Éwoyn. She thought she could get away before Arwen's blade touched her skin but she was wrong. It slit the side of her stomach and she dropped her sword and fell back.
Arwen held her sword strong, the blood from her left arm running down onto its shimmering silver blade. A look of hate was in her eyes, along with her tears.
"Oh my, what have I done." She said softly.
"You have not won." Eowyn hissed.
Arwen looked at her again in vain and pity. She did not like how she had handled the situation with Eowyn but she had threatened her life. She had to act, but still she felt it was wrong.
"I am sorry I have hurt you." Arowen said. Eowyn looked at her in hate, Arwen felt it was no use and turned away.
She remembered Aragorn and jumped to her horse. She took one last look at Éwoyn, who was now being helped by the men around her. The blood ran down her tattered gray dress. Her gold waves looked dim and her blue eyes burned with the same anger towards Arwen.
"Next time, you will show more respect." Arwen said as she turned and the gates were opened for her.
Her horse ran towards the river and forest right outside of Helms Deep. As Arwen rode she tried to think of how she could reach Aragorn.
"Legolas!" she thought. "He is an elf, and I know him well, he will tell Aragorn of my thoughts!"
She closed her eyes while she was still riding beneath the now fallen sun. The stars overhead shined and she tried to contact Legolas using her mind. Yet she was to weary so in the mornings time she tried.
************************************************************
Legolas and Aragorn woke from sleep to find everyone already awake. They mounted their horses without so much as a word until Aragorn notices Legolas's face. It was in hard concentration, almost a grief or worry.
"What is it?" said Aragorn quickly.
"Arwen.." he said softly.
*************************************************************
Sorry for all the confusion in this chapter.. I left it that Legolas doesn't say anything because I wanted to write another chapter soon... This is my newly edited one so even if you've read the story... I think I made it a little more, understandable and believable. SO PLEASE REVIEW!! Tell me what you think so far!
