Aragorn woke up alone. Nothing was wrapped in his arms. He lay there for a minute, contemplating what had happened the night before. He looked at his clothes on a table near the corner of the room and a small note. It was written by fair feeble hands, it read in elfish.
Aragorn,

I will be downstairs when you wake. I wish to speak to my father and find a course of action. Please come down when you feel ready. However, we must leave with haste. I will be awaiting you. I have assembled clothes that you could ware for the day. I love you.

Arwen
He picked up the clothes whilst he read the letter. He let out a sigh and put them on. He was overjoyed with the pasted night, but the thought of traveling again, he lost his joy to weariness.

"Alas for these times we can not just walk under the beautiful trees of Rivendell." He said softy.

He walked down the stairs and he saw Arwen around a table with Éomer. He was seated rather close to her and she was laughing with him. Aragorn walked to them in a hurry.

"Arwen?" he said.

"Aragorn! I am so happy you have come! Éomer was telling me about to battle of Helms deep. It was rather distressing was it not?"

"Yes, but anyways when are we to leave." He shot a look of annoyance at Éomer and he returned to gaze with pity.

"Before my father wakes!" his tone was cold, not humble like it had been when he was talking to Arwen.

"Very well." Aragorn said. He glared at Éomer who moved closer to Arwen. Aragorn took Arwen by the hand and led her outside. Éomer had a look of disgust on his face.

"Aragorn?" she said. Her eyes were wide and she was very confused. "What's wrong?"

"Éomer, why do you stay with him rather than me?" he asked sharply.

"You were sleeping my love." She said then she kissed his cheek. "It was a wonderful night." She said softly.

"But Éomer." He said again.

"Éomer, he is nothing to me Aragorn. No one would I love more than you. Alas he has taken a liking to me. But I would not dishonor you or myself. He does know we are together. He will not try anything." She said as he smoothed his hair with her fingers.

"Yes, well whom could think such a beautiful maiden is not worthy of affection. Everyone must think you are beautiful Arwen." He stroked her hair softly.

She smiled a little and kissed him softly. He was reassured by her kiss. Though it was soft and sweet, it was sealing her words.

"Now we must ready!" she said.

Elrond walked out onto the patio at that moment and saw Aragorn and Arwen together. He smiled with great affection in his eyes.

"Aragorn, we must leave now! Arwen will be taken to Rivendell. But when you come back from the wars of the Dark lord on mount doom you will see her again.

He nodded. Tears ran down Arwen's face as she looked at him. She did not want to leave him. But this time they were not to be separated. They were going to meet again and she would be in her home, and were they were to be wed.

"Arwen, I will come back for you." He said softly kissing her forehead.

"Yes Aragorn, and I will be awaiting your return."

They walked down the patio into a stationed area where elves and men were camping out. Arwen saw her horse, lone with her father's. She walked to it and mounted it.

"Aragorn, en elf from our country will escort you back." Legolas said.

She looked at him with compassion and she hugged him. He did not know why but he embraced the hug. Aragorn walked down to him and smiled.

"Legolas, I would have not reached Aragorn had it not been for you. And I would have been lost." She said.

"Arwen, I would never let a maiden my companion loves to fall stray." He said softly. He kissed her cheek and mounted his horse.

An elf came towards her and he mounted his own horse. He had long gold hair. It was tied by many braids. His ears were more defined then her own. His eyes were bright blue and he was tall.

She mounted her own next to his and Aragorn took her hands in his own. He smiled at her and she began to tear.

"I will come for you." He said softly.

"There is always hope, I will be waiting." She said. He nodded and back away from her steed.

"Arwen, ride hard, don't look back." he said. She nodded and turned to the elf next to her.

"I am Glendelan."

"I'm Arwen." She smiled wearily.

"Let us ride!" he said and he backed his horse out to the entrance. She waved to her father and followed his horse. It was big and brown with white streaks down its main.

*~~~~~*~~~~~*

They stopped for a brief second and he brought her lambas bread. She felt energized and they talked for a while before starting again.

A couple days went by and they had become great friends. When they reached her home it had been a week. He departed and kissed her hand. She cried and he reassured her that Aragorn would be there soon.

She looked at her home after the elf had left. All the elves had returned and welcomed her back.

**~~~~~*~~~~~**

Aragorn watched her departed and then mounted his horse. All the elves were ready to leave and so where the men. Gandalf sent word throughout the crowd that they were going to Mordor, to fight the enemy.

Aragorn sighed and followed their lead. Several days had gone by and each night we would stay up and look at the stars. He would imagine the nights with Arwen and her beauty.

Legolas often had to consult him on his thoughts. They talked for almost the whole night and exchanged remarks of the journey and how happy they would be to go back home.

Several days and weeks go by when they came upon the black gates. They had not come across the ring bearer. They guessed he might have taken a different route.

Mordor looked gloomy and he black gate was bigger than two oliphants put together standing on each other.

There was a slight cliff before the eyes of many orcs could see you. The company rested there. Gandalf thought of a plan of attack. He decided to wait until nightfall.

Aragorn looked up at the sun and mountains of Emin muil and called out to Arwen with his mind.

"Arwen, I am screamed. There is nothing would rather do than to be at your side. I would rather not die in this evil land. My hope s fading and I wonder how you got home, safely or not." He cried in his thoughts. She answered him.

"There is always hope Aragorn. We will meet again, you and I. Fight for our hope, and fight for the future of the elves and middle earth and of your own people."

He smiled brightly and looked to Legolas who was bent beside him. He laid on the ground and Legolas mimicked his movements.

"Legolas, no matter what happens, you and me until the end of time, companions." He smiled at his elf friend again.

"For ever and a day." Legolas replied.
