I decide to do a follow up chapter to Taking over me but this time from Aragorn's point of view. I hope you enjoy it.

Whisper my last breath

As Aragorn lay exhausted on the muddy grass beside the river his thoughts strayed to Arwen. He closed his eyes and he could see her in front of him. His chest heaved as he gasped for breath, tired from his brush with death only moments earlier as he thought of everything he could have lost if he hadn't made it out of that river. The pain in his chest and limbs was almost unbearable and he would have given up hope of getting back to where he should be had it not been for the vision of Arwen that now became so clear in front of his eyes.

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away

Finally his breathing had slowed to an almost normal rate and he opened his eyes to face the blue sky above him. It was Éowyn's turn to appear to Aragorn now. He thought of her as a true friend, someone he had felt he had to protect. She was a fighter and would willingly stand in front of him to save his life but he knew it must be him who did that for her. He also knew that she felt something deeper than friendship for him but his heart lay elsewhere. His heart was with Arwen. Éowyn must stay strong, and whether he made it back to Helms Deep or not, she must be strong enough to do her part in the war that was to come. This part may not have been fighting, as she would have wished, but it would be important and many people's lives would depend on her.

Don't turn away

Don't give in to the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep never die

As Aragorn willed himself to a sitting position, though his muscles were screaming with pain, he clambered onto his horse and thought of the battle that could be taking place as he did so. He had seen so much death and fighting already, and though they were fighting for good, they faced a great evil. He knew that there would be a much greater war before all this was over and no one yet knew the outcome. Would good overthrow evil? All anybody could do was hope.

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know that there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain if I will it all away

Aragorn though back to Arwen and the last time they had seen each other. Her bright eyes were grieved deeply by the evil that went on around her and he knew the time would come when they would eventually be parted forever. If good won this war and he made his way back to her she may not even be there waiting for him. It would be safer for to sail with the rest of her kin to the Undying Lands but would she do that and leave him behind? He knew she wouldn't go unless she had no other choice but did anybody have a choice in this war? He could only hope that whilst he fought for the good of the world she would be safe.

Don't turn away

Don't give in to the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep never die

At last the horse was aloud to set off with his rider once again. Though Aragorn was in pain and tired he knew he must get back. He must see Éowyn and the others once again even if it was only to give them encouragement to fight. He felt the love he held for Arwen deep within his heart. Her beauty and grace gave him strength and he would fight in this war once more for her. To protect her.

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eyes

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me shall I give in?

Upon my end shall I begin?

Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

He would fight, and die if he had to, so that Arwen and her kind could live once more in a carefree world that they longed for. Eternity could be a long time when you lived amongst such suffering and pain. Once, Aragorn had long to immortal so that he could live forever with Arwen. But now he saw how immortality could be seen as a curse. An evil thing placed on few that were bound to suffer with the world forever. His heart showed no envy to this kind though he longed to relieve his loved one of this burden he knew he could not. Aragorn could only protect Arwen whilst he was hear but, whether he made it through the war or not, his time would eventually come when he would be take away from her, and then no one would be there to protect her any longer.

Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

Once more his head swirled with visions of Arwen, Éowyn and the suffering he had seen during the last few months. Beings such as these didn't deserve to see such evil. They should live in a world free of worries and pain. Live a happy life. Evil, which had been growing all around with each day, shouldn't be allowed to trouble the hearts of graceful creatures. Creatures who would never hurt another living thing. They should be protected.

Holding my last breath

Safe inside my self

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

Aragorn made a vow to himself as he rode on his horse back to the keep. He may be forced to leave behind the people he loved in body, but he would never leave them behind totally, never leave them alone. He would protect them even after he had gone. He would be all around, in the trees, the air and the very earth they walked on. Whenever Arwen needed him he could still be there for her. Never would he forget her and so, never, would she have to be alone.

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

Never again would someone he cared for have to suffer alone. He would be there. Be there by their side to protect them. Evil could kill many things but it could not kill love. The love he had for Arwen could never be destroyed by anything and it was this love that would stay after he had gone. This love that would protect her for him. Haunt her if need be. This love that would keep her safe until one day, maybe, they were reunited.

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But you wake and know the truth

No one's there

Say Goodnight don't be afraid

Calling me, calling me as you fade to black.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed my first chapter. I hope you like this one as much. The two songs were called Whisper and My last Breathe (hence the title) by Evanescence. Please review. It means a lot to me to know what you think. Thanx
