Covren
We sat in the great hall that night waiting for our men to return with the days meat.
But it was late and they had not yet returned. I was worried. More for Eomer then
Feramir. But I could tell that Eowyn was worried as well.
"Eowyn." I said putting a hand on her shoulder."They will be fine. We must have
patience." Eowyn looked at me. Concern filling her eyes.
"I have never been a patient person." She said. " I am worried about them."
" I am too." I said looking out into the darkness. just then snow started to fall. I sighed
worriedly. They knew how to survive. I would give them tonight. Then I would really
begin to worry.
Eomer
I watched the sun set and felt the cold press closer to me. I wrapped my cloak more
tightly about me and trudged on. Feramir was not doing so well. His leg pained him. I
did not worry about him bleeding to death. The wound was not that great. I worried
that he would be bitten with frost because of the rip in his pants. Snow started to fall.
"Great. Just great." Feramir muttered next to me. I turned and gave him what I hoped
was an uplifting smile.
"What?" I asked him." You do not like the snow?" I reached down and grabbed a
handful.
"No. I don't like the snow when I am walking thirty miles in it." He said I laughed and
threw the snow in the air.
"I love it." I said happily. Yet I was worried. It would be freezing tonight. Just like every
night of winter.
"Feramir let's stop." I called to him. He nodded and sank to the earth. I sat down next
to him.
"We will have to huddle together to keep warm." He said. I nodded and scooted
closer. Neither of us was ready to get to close. We were men. We had to keep our
dignity. But finally wee both succumbed to the cold and wrapped ourselves together
with our cloaks.
"Eomer." I heard faintly. I opened my eyes and looked out at the white world around
me. I saw the snowflakes frozen to my lashes.
"Eomer." I heard again.
"Feramir." I sat up.
"Here." I croaked. The cold had parched my throat and left it raw. I cleared my throat
a time or two and sucked on some snow to moisten my throat.
"Here." I called again this time louder. Feramir stirred next me.
"Stop your shouting." He grumbled and pulled the cloaks closer. I shivered and
hugged my arms to myself.
"Eomer."
"Here." I called. Feramir sat up.
"What was that?" He asked.
"Feramir."
"Here." He shouted. I smiled at his enthusiasm.
"Here." He shouted again. I looked through the darkness.
"Eomer." I heard this time closer. It was a womans voice.
"We're here." I called. I saw a silhouette of a horse and rider then Covren. Eowyn close
behind.
"Feramir." She shouted and jumped off her horse. She ran to him and threw her arms
about his neck. He hugged her back.
"I was so worried." She said. I heard the sound of tears in her voice. I looked at
Covren. She was smiling at them softly for a moment then she looked at me.
"When your horses came back without you." She told me." We worried so much that
we decided to come after you." I nodded.
"What were you thinking?" I heard Feramir say." You should not have come out here
in the cold of night." I turned and raised an eyebrow at Covren.
"I agree." I said to her." We would have been fine tonight and been home in the
morning." Covren smiled doubtfully and looked away.
"Come on."SHe said pulling her cloak closer to herself. "It's cold. We should get
home." I followed her to her horse and turned back and saw that Eowyn was helping
Feramir up. I smile ruefully. He was getting the special treatment from Eowyn
because of his hurt leg. Covren swung up onto her horse and then reached a hand
down. I reached up and swung myself up behind her. I wrapped my arms around her
Waist.
"Your so warm." I told her. She giggled nervously.
" I have not been sleeping in the snow for half the night." She said. I watched as
Eowyn helped Feramir up onto her horse. As we rode away from our camp I tightened
my grip around Covren. She squirmed nervously under me.
"Sorry." I said but did not loosen my hold. Soon tiredness overtook me. I laid my head
on Covren's back and closed my eyes.
