Hey everyone, I am so sorry for all the weird stuff lately (the giant bold text and the short chapters) if anyone wanted to know, No I am not in school and I just started a job on Wednesday. I have been unemployed for alllllmost seven months I believe, (Not fun) well my job is going to keep me rather busy, but I will always try to update promptly. I know it is a good thing to be able to read a story you get into. Well for everyone info because this is actually important, THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER! It is going to sound like it is by the end of it, but it isn't I am already working on Chapter 15, so do not despair! I would never end a story like that anyways. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews (Katherine, Legolas, YuZira EVERYBODY) Sorry, off hand those are the only names I know lol. But I appreciate everyone feedback. Thank you so much, you are what keeps this story going!

Close your Eyes Chapter 14

Eowyn's eyes were wide, Gandalf had heard everything. "We will find Aragorn now." He said, Faramir dragged Eowyn behind him as Gandalf led the way to the room Legolas had stayed in, Eowyn tried to pull away, but it was useless. Aragorn looked up as the door opened. "Legolas is gone." He said, Gandalf nodded, "Yes I know Aragorn." Aragorn was trying to keep himself calm but his hand shook even then as he sat down on the bed. "Eowyn has to tell you something Aragorn." Faramir pushed Eowyn into the room. Aragorn stared at her. Eowyn's eyes were wide and afraid. She wiped her bleeding hand on her dress.

"Tell him Eowyn." Faramir said, Eowyn's breath stifled as Aragorn stared at her. Gandalf poked her in the back with his staff and she fell to her knees. "Alright! Alright!" she said, "I did it!" Aragorn looked at her confused, "Tell him why." Gandalf said forcefully. Eowyn stared at the floor. "I cut myself. I told Eomer that it was Legolas." Aragorn stood up, "But why?" he yelled, "I did it for you my lord." She said, "I love you lord Aragorn." Aragorn stared down at her. "You do not love me Eowyn." Eowyn looked up at him pulling at his pant leg. "But I do my lord. I knew the elf would never be good enough for you. An elf can never love you the way I do." Aragorn's eyes were angry; he hated every word that came from this woman.

"Where is Legolas?" he asked, Eowyn looked at the floor. "Legolas left with the other elves, he said he was done with you." Faramir said, Aragorn looked at him. "Done with me?" Faramir nodded, "He was probably hurt because he thought you believed Eowyn." Aragorn pulled his leg away from Eowyn. "I believe nothing that comes from this wench!" he yelled, Eowyn looked up at Aragorn shocked. "I have never cared more for anyone than Legolas; I would never love you Eowyn." Eowyn stared at him her eyes studied his face. "What?" she asked in disbelief, "but you left him Aragorn that proves you do not care for him, that proves to me you care." Aragorn stared at her. "I have nothing to prove to you Eowyn!" he yelled. Eowyn's ears must have deceived her, she couldn't believe this. "I have nothing to give." Aragorn said.

Gandalf smiled, "You can still catch Legolas if you leave now Aragorn." Aragorn nodded, and the three men left the room. Eowyn held herself and rocked back and forth. "No... No... It's not true…" she cried, "I love you Aragorn… I love you…" she sobbed alone in the darkening room. There was nothing left for Eowyn. And no one would embrace her now.

The sun had begun to sink slowly; it was turning a pale yellow as it hid behind misty clouds. The grasses were lush and beautiful in the on coming evening. The elves traveled briskly. Haldir was determined to get back to Lothlorien; it seemed he would wonder if things were well in his home. He longed for his home now, Legolas was not so enthusiastic. He had said nothing as they traveled for perhaps less than an hour. He smiled sadly, Haldir looked up at him. "Are you coming to Lothlorien with us?" Legolas shook his head. "Are you going back to Mirkwood?" Legolas looked at Haldir, "I don't know where I'm going to go Haldir. I will go where my heart takes me." Haldir gave Legolas a painful smile. "I know things are hard Legolas but you cannot give up on life." Legolas laughed, "Life has given me nothing." Haldir stopped the horse. "Life has given you friends, and people who care for you Legolas! I care for you! Your friends care for you. Do not say such things." Legolas smiled, "I am sorry Haldir I suppose that I am feeling sorry for myself."

Haldir held the reins of the horse and began to walk, the horse snorted as they walked. Legolas looked out into the sky. It was a beautiful aqua blue that turned into a pale white as the sun fell farther down into darkness. 'Aragorn… are you happy? I must wonder where things are going now… I hope you will be happy in what you decide.' Haldir looked up at Legolas, "Are you sure you're alright Legolas? I know you did not really want to leave." Legolas scratched his face; the dried blood came off in crimson flakes. "I'll be alright Haldir… do not worry. I believe everything will work out."

Aragorn had decided to go after Legolas; he refused to believe all the lies that had flown over him. Legolas was not a liar, he was not bad and he was not going to leave him now. Aragorn saddled up the horse. "I will speak with Theoden about the incident Aragorn." Gandalf said, Aragorn nodded. Faramir smiled at Aragorn, Aragorn had not really known the part Faramir had played in this but he did not let that bother him. Faramir had been good to him now, despite what may have gone on between him and Legolas that was a thing of the past. "We will finish rebuilding Helms' deep Aragorn; you can choose to come back or not. But as the future king of Gondor it may be in your best interest to return and lead all men to face Sauron." Aragorn laughed, "My that is a heavy burden to bear Gandalf. But I will see what comes my way." The men exchanged their good byes as Aragorn raced out of the stable.

"What will he do when he finds Legolas?" Faramir asked Gandalf, "I believe he will tell him the truth… though it will be hard for both of them to over come events that have pulled them apart. I believe we will see them again very soon." Faramir smiled, "I hope that is true Gandalf… I hope that is true."
