I do not own anything.
Thank you so much Kalythianna for your awesome review. You are awesome.
This chapter is just for you. I hope you enjoy it.
Eomer
"What happened?" I shouted at him. He didn't answer. Just kept staring at the man
who had attacked him. Suddenly the man broke free and lunged at him. He hit Covren
hard in the stomach. Knocking him to the ground. His cap flew off when he hit the
ground. A collective gasp went threw the crowd. I stared down at the sea of black that
covered the ground. Alot of questions had just been answered with the removing of
the cap. Covren rolled over so that he was looking up at me. He pulled his eyebrows
together worriedly.
Eomer." He said concerned. He stumbled up." What's wrong.?" I stared at him for a
minute then I turned and walked away.
Covren
I watched him walk away and wondered what had gone wrong. I turned and looked at
the other men. They all stared at me as if I had the one ring. I looked at the ground
and saw my cap sitting there. I groaned and looked around again. I reached down and
picked up the cap that had never failed me till now and took a step towards the line of
men standing to my right. Liondred at their front. They collectively flinched backwards. I
lowered my eyes to the ground and then I looked up at Eomer's retreating form. I
glanced at the men around me and then I ran after my king.
Eomer
"Eomer." She called behind me."Wait." I stopped but didn't turn around. She stopped
next to me and stood ther panting for a minute.
"Eomer." She began. "I'm sorry. But you must understand. I couldn't travel alone as a
woman. It was the only way. please." She whimpered. I turned to her anger etched on
my face in hard lines.
"You betrayed me." I said. She winced and looked at the ground. Her long inky black
hair falling around her shoulders. "I treated you like a brother and yet it turns out I
should have treated you as a sister. You betrayed me and all my men." A trumpet
sounded. I looked up and saw that the carriage was now entering the gates. I walked
away from Covren towards the carriage. I heard her footsteps behind me. I pasted a
smile on my face as my sister climbed out carrying a baby.
"Sister." I said reaching out my arms to her. "And which child is this. He is so grown
since I last saw him that I cannot recognize him."
"Neither can his father." She replied and placed a kiss on each of my cheeks.
Faramir climbed out carrying the other child.
"Eomer." I turned and saw that Eowyn was looking at Covren." Who is this?" She
smiled. I shook my head at her.
"I am Covren my lady." Covren said bowing."His lordship has brought me here to
watch your children while you catch up." Faramir looked at me slyly.
"Child what has happened to your face?" Eowyn asked placing a finger on the swelling
cheek of Covren. I saw the angry red welt and grew even more furious with her. If she
hadn't of lied to me that wouldnt have happened.
"Oh my lady tis nothong." Covren said covering the wound with her hand. "I was
training with the men and was knocked to the ground." I groaned. Please not this.
Eowyn looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"You trained with the men?" SHe asked Covren yet she looked at me.
"WHere I come from it is necessary to now how to fight. Even if you are a woman."
SHe said. She glanced me. "My lord Eomer, was not able to persuade me not to."
Eowyn smiled at me then turned back to Covren.
"And where do you come from?" Eowyn asked.
"Across the sea." I narrowed my eyes at her. How did I know that she wasn't lying
with that too?
"I bet you didn't bring her here just for the children." He said. I turned to him and
glared. How could he even think that I would touch a child like Covren? He retreated
behind my sister. I lead them into the main hall where chairs had been set up for
them all.
" Which one is this?" I asked my sister in regard to her baby.
"Denethor." She said. I smiled an rubbed the baby's head.
"They have grown." I said. She nodded and shifted the baby in her arms. I opened the
door for her and waited for her and Faramir to enter then I turned to Covren.
"I will deal with you later." I hissed. SHe glared at me and entereed the room. I
followed and watched her as she walked to the back of the room and stood there. I
turned back to my sister and smiled.
"What has happened since I saw you last?" I asked as I thought to myself. There
goes finding a wife.
Covren
Eomer had me taken to a room and dressed in dresses. It felt good to wear a dress
again and get the wraps from around my breasts off. I had dismissed the servants
that had been ordered to attend to me and I sat there combing my hair. I ran my hand
through it and felt how soft it was. Like baby silk. My mother had said. Tears filled
my eyes as I thought of her. Suddenly the door flew open and Eomer was standing
there staring at me. I dropped the comb and stood facing him. I felt strangely self
conscious wearing a dress in front of this man. I looked away from him.
"What possessed you to act like a man?" He asked. No demanded. "Did you think
that I would turn you away if you were a woman?" I snorted.
"Would you have treated me different." I asked. He sputtered for a moment.
"Yes I wouldn't have let you fight with a sword had I known you were a female." He
said. " I would have treated you like a lady." I gave a disgusted snort.
"I lied to you because I was afraid of what your men or you might have done to me
had you known I was a woman." I explained. "But I also wanted to be treated as an
equal." He looked at me for a moment then he turned and left the room. I sighed and
flopped own on the bed. At least I didn't have to hide who I was anymore.
Eomer
I stayed up late drinking. It seemed I did alot of that lately. I blamed it on loneliness.
"What the hell was she thinking?" I sid to myself. "She could have been killed." I
remembered the huge bruise on her cheek.
"damn it." I shouted and slammed the goblet down on the table.
"Eomer. I think you have had enough." I looked up and saw Faramir standing htere.
"You know that girl was a man." I said. Faramir looked at me as if I had just
confessed to a terrible sin.
"I don't want to know what you are talking about." He said walking over to me and
helping me up.
"She lied to me." I said as we stumbled out of the room.
"You had a woman?" He asked. I nodded.
"And I didn't even know it." Faramir nodded.
"Right Eomer." He said. We reached my room and he laid me down on the bed on
my stomach. I started to snore and I wasn't even asleep yet.
