:: Chapter I The Party, and Leaving Rivendell::

Alatariel was already up; she was looking out her window. She was mesmerized by the sun's beauty. She walked over to her closet to get dressed.

Alatariel was still wearing her nightgown (A/N: That is the only dress she will wear!!) She opened the closet door, and gasped. Instead of seeing her tunics, cloaks, and boots, she saw dresses!! There is only one person who would do this.

"Atar." She whispered. ::Father::

"Yes?"

Alatariel turned around to see her father, with an amused smirk on his face.

"Why do you take things that do not belong to you?" Alatariel asked.

"Why do you disobey me?" Elrond questioned.

"Why do you care?" Alatariel asked as she sat down on her bed.

"Because I am you father." Elrond replied.

"That is not a reason." Alatariel replied coldly.

"Why don't you be like your sister and behave?"

"Why do you compare me to her?" She questioned.

"I." Elrond started.

"If you haven't noticed I am not Arwen. I will never be."

At this moment, Arwen walked in the room.

Elrond sighed," You are hopeless."

With that he left the room letting the two sisters talk.

"Yes?"

"Why do you bother father, so much?" Arwen asked her sister.

"I bother father? If anyone should understand what I am going through, it would be you. He always compares me to you. It aggravates me. " Alatariel replied.

"He doesn't mean to."

"You should not be defending him." Alatariel said.

Arwen sighed, and sat down next to her sister," Do you know what day it is?"

"The Twenty-Second." Alatariel responded.

"Yes, but what happens today?" Arwen asked.

"I do not know." Alatariel replied.

"It's the twin's birthday. They want you to be there." Arwen said. (A/N: I do not know their exact day they are born.)

"When is the party?" Alatariel questioned.

"Noon." She responded.

"Also Father wants you to wear a dress. "

"What if I refuse?" Alatariel asked.

"He says he will take away your sword." Arwen answered.

"I cannot believe he would do that!" Alatariel exclaimed.

"Do not fret, Father has threatened to take your sword away before. He has yet to do it." Arwen replied.

"You are right." Alatariel said.

*** It was one thirty. Alatariel was rushing to get dressed. Half of the day she was practicing her archery. She had lost track of the time.

When she walked out of her room, she was wearing a long dark blue dress. The sleeves reached the floor; along the neckline was a gold embroidering, the belt was much like the neckline. Alatariel was still wearing her boots.
As she began to wall down the hall she heard music. She quietly opened the doors, while doing this the cook was coming out of the kitchen doors with the cake. Both kitchen and hallway door collided. The cake flew into the air, and fell onto Aragorn.

The whole room became quiet.

Aragorn wiped frosting from his nose onto his finger. He put his finger to his mouth.

"Mmm! Not bad. Would anyone like some?" Aragorn said smirking.

The room erupted in laughter, and went back to what they were doing. Alatariel ran over to Aragorn.

"I am so sorry, Elessar! Are you all right?" Alatariel asked. (A/N: Galadriel gave him this name. Alatariel calls him this instead of Aragorn. He has too many names!!)

"No harm done." Aragorn replied.

"Do you want me to get some towels?" Alatariel asked.

He nodded. In less than a minute Alatariel returned with a handful of towels.

Aragorn quickly cleaned himself off. After Alatariel apologized to Aragorn a lot. He finally got her to leave him alone.

***

It was almost eight; Alatariel already gave the twins their presents. She gave a new sword for Elrohir. The sword had his name engraved into it. Alatariel also gave Elladan a new bow. The bow was sliver, and had his name engraved into it. She was about to leave when her father called her.

"There is my dear daughter!" Elrond exclaimed.

'Just my luck.' Alatariel thought.

She turned around, and put on her best fake smile.

"Hello Atar." ::Father::

"Hello Alatariel. How do you fair?" Elrond asked.

"Amin autien rath." Alatariel replied. ::I am going to bed::

"The night is still young. What is wrong?" Elrond asked in a concerned tone.

"My head is bothering me, it is nothing to worry about." Alatariel answered.

Elrond nodded," Quel kaima. " ::Sleep well::

Alatariel walked out of the room.

'It is the right thing to do. I cannot say here in Rivendell. I have travel. '

As Alatariel went into her room, she quickly gathered her belongs, and placed them on her bed. She took out a parchment, and some ink. She began to write a letter. It stated:

If you are reading this, I am no longer in Rivendell. I have enjoyed time with you all. I desire to explore Middle-Earth. I will not come back; do not hold hope for me. Father, we have never got along, but remember this I will always love you. Arwen, you have helped me in ways I cannot explain. I hope you a wonderful life with Elessar. Elladan, and Elrohir thank you for teaching me how to wield a sword, and a bow. Thank you everyone. Most of you have treated me better than I have treated you. For that I thank you. I do not think I will be returning. I love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful life, without me.

She then signed her name, and placed it on her bed. Alatariel walked to her window.
