Eomer
"Why don't you go with them?" I asked her. Anger laced my words. I couldn't stand
anymore of her. She was driving me out of my mind. Her sweet smell her beautifull
face and eyes that looked right through me.
"Emoer." Eowyn sid sharply I glanced at her.
"Well why not?" I asked again." You are of no use here. Probably just get in the
way." The look of hurt that passed over her face sent a slice of pain to go through my
heart.
"Eomer." Eowyn said again standing.
"Eowyn please." Covren said quietly. Eowyn looked ay her for a moment then she
turned and gave me a long hard look before she sat down. Covren looked at me and I
thought that I saw tears in her eyes.
"I swore that I would not cry over you anymore." She said.
"Covren?" Eowyn said. Covren raised a hand.
"It's allright." She said. I watched her face.
"What do you mean cry over me?" I asked. "That doesn't answer my question as to
why you won't go."
"Be cause of you." She whispered into her plate. I stared at her not sure if I had
heard right.
"What?" I asked.
"I won't leave because of you.' She shouted jumping to her feet. "You are the most
horrible man that I know. And I can't help it." Tears fell from her eyes. She turned
those sad eyes on me. "I can't help but love you." She said then she turned and ran
out of the room. I watched her retreating form and then I turned my eyes to my plate.
"Eomer." Eowyn said." You disgust me." I squeezed my eyes shut." How dare you
act so.... childlike. I thought better of you." I looked up at her.
"I thought better of myself too." I said. She looked at me confused.
" I have to go think." I said standing. I walked from the room and outside. Trying to
think of everything that had happened since she had arrived. But the one thing that
stayed in my mind was that she loved me. And was with another man.
Covren
I ran from the room covering my red, tear stained face with my hands. I had done it. I
had told him that I loved him. Now I was going to my room to die. I flung my door
open, slammed it shut behind me, and threw myself onto the bed. 'Maybe I should
reconsider staying'. I thought. 'Maybe I should go with Eowyn in the morning.' I had
no idea what to do. I knew that I would burst into tears every time that I saw Eomer
from now on. And I wouldn't be able to face Eowyn after this. It had been to
humiliating. I sat up and sniffled. I looked around the room that had been my home for
the past month. It was my home. I would miss it. I stood and walked over to the
chest at the back of the room. I had made up my mind as to what to do. I would go
back out as a boy. I would leave here and go away where no one knew me. I opened
the chest and pulled out the boys clothes that I had and quickly donned them. Then I
went to the vanity and sat down to do my hair. It did not take long for I was well
practiced in it. I braided my hair and wrapped it around my head then I put on my
cap.
"Stay put this time." I told it then I wiped the last remaining traces of tears from my
face and grabbed a leather bag from the floor behind my bed. In it I stuffed a fur for
sleeping, a few candles and a knife. Food was not a problem. I knew where to find it
in the snow. I stood at the door and took one last look around the room.
"I will miss you." I said then I closed the door and tiptoed down the hall. It had taken
me an hour to get ready and by then it was late and I expected everyone to be in
bed. I passed the babies room and gently brushed the door with a hand. I would miss
them dearly. Next I passed Eowyn and Feramir's room. Eowyn had been a good
Friend. I would miss her very much. And Feramir's joking and innocent looks. I dared
not pass Eomer's room lest I get the strong desire to peek inside for one last look. I
slipped around the sleeping men in the hall and nudged the door open just enough for
me to slip through. The cold hit me like a flood. I pulled Eomers cloak closer to me. It
was the one thing that he had given me that I kept. The leather bag and fur I had
stolen. I slipped around the side of the huge building and down a pathway that lead to
a small door in the side of the walls of Endoras. The door was unguarded so I got out
easily enough. I walked past low hills covered in snow and made my slowly towards
the north. I had heard tales of forests of such beauty that I would be dazzled beyond
my wildest dreams. I would go there. I turned for one last look at what was my home
for a long time. I blew a kiss at it then I turned and headed out, not looking back
again.
"Why don't you go with them?" I asked her. Anger laced my words. I couldn't stand
anymore of her. She was driving me out of my mind. Her sweet smell her beautifull
