Chapter Seven - Decisions
*Takes place two days after Chapter Six - Mekhar*
"Something is wrong, I can feel it," Legolas murmered as he stood next to
Elladan, looking down at the sleeping form on the bed. He tore his eyes away
from her and glanced at his friend. "Things are not as they seem to be."
That morning Arwen had awakened to find that the pain was completely gone.
"I feel better than I have in years," she had told her father, who found the
mysterious turn of events rather unsettling. She had spent the day resting on
the balcony outside her room, though she had protested when she was informed
by one of the Healers that she was not to leave her room for fear of a
recurrence of her condition. She had found this ridiculous, but had
reluctantly agreed when she had seen the pleading look in her father's eyes.
Now, as she slept, Legolas and Elladan watched over her while her father and
Elrohir hunted through old records for some hint as to the nature of her
illness.
"How could her condition have changed so quickly? It does not seem right..."
Elladan sighed. "I fear that you are right, my friend. Arwen's recovery was
too swift and thorough to be true, especially if she was indeed poisoned.
Father fears that the fatal drug lies dormant in her body, waiting like a
serpent for the perfect time to strike. When that will be we do not know, but
I fear that it will happen soon and with greater speed and effect than
before."
Legolas turned towards him, saying, "I think we should send for Aragorn. The
sooner the better."
"Why do you think that?" Elladan questioned.
"They care deeply about each other. You can see it in their eyes whenever the
other is near. It is almost as if Luthien and Beren have come forth once
again," Legolas murmered with a deep sigh.
"I would hope that our sister's fate wouold not be the same as the fair
Tinuviel's, though I can sense already that Aragorn will be her doom as well
as her love," Elrohir stated as he walked towards them. He had stood there
during most of the conversation, going unacknowledged by his twin but
unnoticed by Legolas who, in his state of worry, was paying attention to
little else.
Elladan asked his brother, "What is your opinion of sending for Aragorn?"
There was a long pause from his twin before he answered , "It would benefit
all if Aragorn returned. He may know something of ths mysterious poison that
we do not, or know of someone who does."
Elrohir's eyes wandered to his sleeping sister and he whispered, "If he will
bring happiness to her, then I would do all within my power to stop that from
being taken from her. Aragorn is pure of heart, and I can think of no other
that I would rather her be with, even if it means that she must forsake her
elven gift of life."
A/N: Sorry so short, but I have to go work on a *gag* speech for school. Big
presentation tomorrow, big CONTEST (i.e. people judging every move you make
and every syllable you speak) on Friday. I may end up posting the speech on
here just in case anyone wants to read it. Everyone gets all teary-eyed when
they start reading/hearing it, so I'm pretty sure I can classify as sad but
inspirational. Too bad those aren't categories... LOL. Anywayz, please check
in from time to time, since I may have it up later, and I would really love
to hear what people HONESTLY think.
As for the contest I'm holding, so far people have come close in their
guesses, but I'm not telling if anyone got it right yet. I'll try to work on
including extra characters for those who do get it right. I've already
decided where I can put some, but ya gotta have backup.
Anywayz, please tell me what ya think, and the next chapter should be up
soon, since Alexandra (my wonderfully beautiful muse) has decided to hold off
on vacation for a while to help me out. Why don't ya'll give her a shout
out?! (LMOA)
