Fallen Chapter Fourteen

Namarie melamin, Au Revoir Imladris

Kira was in her room only half awake as the morning light hit her face. It had been three days since Elladan had returned had she hadn't seen him since she had met him as he returned. As she slowly opened her eyes she was blinded by the sun and gave a small grunt of annoyance.

She rolled over and fell out of bed, she hadn't noticed how close to the edge she had been till she hit the floor with a low thud. She sat up and rubbed her back. "Ouch that really hurt." She said wincing a little.

She got up and made the bed then got dressed unhurriedly choosing to wear a simple pair of breeches and a tunic. She opened her door and their stood Anthony and Nathan looking like they where about to knock.

"Oh hello, we didn't think you would be up yet. We where going to come and wake you then offer you our company to the dining hall." Said Nathan.

Kira chuckled and glanced between her brother and Anthony. "Well I am sorry to disappoint you by already being up and ready." She said smirking.

She took there offered arms so she had one arm looped through one of theirs on either side. And they made their way towards the dinning room for breakfast. When she entered the room her face brightened as she saw Elladan sitting next to his brother and across from Legolas. He smiled up at her as he saw her enter.

He got up and moved towards her, Anthony let go of her arm and moved away so she could properly greet the elf she loved and hadn't seen in awhile. Nathan stood where he was and watched Elladan approached his face was expressionless but his eyes held annoyance and disapproval.

Nathan was still making an effort to be polite to the elf but he still didn't like him or approve of his sisters relationship with him. He wished the elf would just move on and leave his sister be, their parting would break her heart and he wasn't looking forward to it.

"Kira melamin, I am glad to see you at last. My father had me buried in work. But I am here now." There was a tinge of anger in his voice but he quickly silenced it. He took her free hand and kissed the back of it lightly. Then turning his attention to Nathan he inclined his head slightly and looked at him thoughtfully. "Lord Nathan, may I borrow your sister for the morning?" he asked.

Nathan arched an eyebrow and his jaw stiffened. "I suppose so. Since three days from now you will never see her again." He said his voice was low and he walked away and joined Anthony who was sitting with Boromir and Gimli.

Elladan sighed heavily and cupped Kira's cheek in his palm kissing her forehead. "Come and sit with my brother, Prince Legolas and myself. It has been long since I last saw you melamin."

"Too long." She said smiling gently at him as she followed him to sit at his opposite side. She looked across the table and caught Legolas smirking and he winked at her.

She just rolled her eyes and smiled politely. "Elladan what have you been doing since you got back? It has been three whole days since you returned and I have not seen you since." She said.

Elladan took her hand in his and sighed. "Ada has been keeping me busy, he thinks that I have been neglectful of my other responsibilities. He has been working me since I got back from the scouting mission." Was his response.

Kira nodded and played with his fingers. Elrohir and Legolas where just 'pretending' not to watch, but not doing a great job of it. This when the hobbits walked in looking rather exhausted. Kira turned her head to look at them and grinned. "So let me guess," she said jovially. "You went 'exploring' again last night didn't you? I guess that'll teach you to do that so late at night." She said with a joking smirk on her face.

They gave her an annoyed glare and walked over to their usual table sitting down slowly. Frodo looked absolutely dead on his feet, Kira felt sorry for the little guy. He was weary enough as it was, he didn't need sleep deprivation to add to his troubles. She sent him a sympathetic look when he glanced her way and he smiled back weakly.

Everyone ate with relative silence, it only took a few minutes, however, before the hobbits where back to their talkative selves. Merry and Pippin both kept shooting her knowing looks, but she just smiled and arched an eyebrow in return.

When she was finished she excused herself and made her way back to her room to get her bow. Once she had gotten it she made her way to the archery range and tried to get in some target practice.

She felt Elladan's presence before she actually saw or heard him. she lost her concentration then and the arrow landed in the red ring just outside the bulls-eye. She turned slowly and looked around for him. He revealed himself by stepping out from the shadow of a nearby tree and walking towards her gradually.

She bit her lip as he approached and gave a half smile. When he was close enough he cupped her face in his hand and stared into her eyes, searching. She wanted to look away but was unable, he had a way of hypnotizing her with his stare. She was caught in his gaze and couldn't look away. He closed his eyes after a time and lowered his head to lean on her shoulder. He held her close, just breathing her in. it had been awhile since they had been this close and he had missed it.

She stepped back slightly knowing that they need to talk, about something rather important. She smiled and took a deep breath preparing to speak, but he silenced her with a soft loving kiss.

When Elladan pulled away from the kiss he looked into her eyes once more briefly and took her hand in his. "Tula." He said plainly.

She followed him through the gardens and soon came to a bench and he sat her down. They where in one of the gardens, she didn't remember being in this one though. There was a small stream going through it and a little footbridge going over that. There where many trees and flowers here. It was truly magnificent. He sat down next to her keeping their finger intertwined he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed the back of it lightly. "Do you know why we are in the privacy of this place?" he asked quietly not looking into her eyes, but rather her hands in his sitting on her lap.

She nodded and said. "Yes, we needed to talk, privately." She said slowly and quietly.

He looked up at her then and took her face in his free hand, smiling gently. "Yes we did. I need to ask if what you said to me just before I left with my brothers, to go scouting, was true." He said. "was it? are you really considering staying in Middle-Earth?" he asked.

She lifted her gaze to meet his. She needed to look into his eyes for this. She gathered up all the courage she had in her and nodded. "Yes, I have been thinking about it for some time now, I do not know if I truly will stay or not. But I do know that I feel like I no longer wish to go back." She said sincerely.

Elladan nodded and smiled at her honesty. He kissed her then deeply and passionately. He heard her moan softly as he then deepened the kiss and he let his hand free itself from hers and cup the other side if her face pulling her closer. He felt her place one hand on his side and the other gently cup his cheek. Elladan then let her pull away, he knew she didn't want to move to fast and he would respect her wishes.

Kira leaned her head into his neck and closed her eyes tightly and breathed him in. memorizing his smell, his feel, his everything. she pulled away from his embrace, albeit reluctantly. She bit her lip and smiled at him. "Please melamin, do not get your hopes up. I know not yet, whether or not I will go back or not. All I know is that my heart and soul will forever reside here, with you." She said looking him in the eye.

Elladan smiled and kissed her forehead lingeringly. "As mine will with you. I do not want to remain if you are not here with me Kira." He said at length.

She pulled away then and searched his eyes. "No, you must promise me that you will move on, to the undying lands if I do leave this world. I cannot go on knowing I caused you to fade from grief." she said closing her eyes again. "Please Elladan do not morn my leaving if that is what does happen." She said beseechingly.

He shook his head. "I cannot do that a'maelamin." He said cupping her chin. "I am afraid that is a promise I cannot make. For I do not think I could keep my word."

She sighed heavily and opened her eyes again. She leaned forward and kissed him, lightly brushing her lips against his. "I do not want you to grieve over me Elladan, I am not worth it."

"Never say that Kira. I love you and your leaving would break my heart. I would not survive it."

"That isn't fair Elladan, you know I am already confused about leaving or staying. It is not fair to use your grief against me." She said evenly.

"Fair or not, it is the truth and I will never lie to you." Was his response.

She sighed again and took his hand in hers. "Amin mela lle Elladan, and I do not want to be the cause of any suffering on your part."

He smiled and kissed her hair. " You could never cause me suffering melamin." He said as he gazed into her eyes. "Tula, I think we have talked enough about this for this morning. The other will be wondering where have gone."

She nodded and got up following him, her hand holding tightly to his. As if she thought he would disappear otherwise. There was still much left unsaid between them, but they both knew what the words where so they would remain unsaid, for now.

***

Kira notched another arrow carefully taking aim and focusing all her attention on the bulls-eye in the center of the target in front of her. She let the arrow fly and watched as it hit on the outer edge of the red center.

"Ah Kira, there you are. Where have you been? You disappeared after breakfast." A voice she immediately recognized to belong to Anthony said from behind her.

"If you must know Anthony, I was with Elladan." She said notching another arrow. Not bothering to even turn around.

"Have you told him how you feel about leaving yet?" he asked curiously.

Kira smirked and let the arrow fly and it landed slightly closer to the center than the last. She turned around and faced her friend and an inquisitive look. "Why would you like to know?" she said.

"Simply because I know it was troubling you. I know how worried you where about how Elladan would react and on how you would make the decision." He said slowly walking closer.

She sighed. "Yes you are right of course. I still am confused as to what my decision will be. I love him greatly Anthony, but I love my mother and father as well and it would tear them apart to think I would never return." She said slowly turning away and going to retrieve her arrows.

When she turned back around to put the arrows back she noticed Anthony had moved towards the sidelines and was sitting on one of the spectator benches. She walked towards him and sat down next to him placing her bow down on the other side of her.

"Well Kira I have some questions for you then." He said.

She arched an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly. "Yes then? What are they?"

"Do you love him?" he asked. "I mean truly, with all your heart and soul."

She nodded. "Yes, I love him more than I thought it would ever be possible."

"Could you see yourself happy here?"

She nodded and furrowed her brows a little. "Yes I could."

"Would you be willing to give up everything to be with him? To stay here and live out your life with him." Anthony said searching her eyes thoughtfully.

She stopped and thought carefully for a minute. She looked her friend in his eyes and bit her lip. A sad smile crossed her face suddenly as she sighed and nodded weakly. "I understand what you mean now. And I do not know the answer to the last question, I would give anything to be with him, but it isn't that easy. There are other factors involved. It is my home, and what of my family?" she shook her head. "I need to think, but I thank you for helping me figure out what I needed to focus on." She put her arms around him and hugged him briefly before she got up and picked up her bow.

"I will see you at dinner?" she asked quietly turning her head to look at him for a moment.

He nodded and got up as well. "Should I escort you to your room?" he asked holding out him arm.

She slowly shook her head. "Nay, I think I need time alone to think, but I will see you tonight, alright?" she asked.

"Okay, until tonight Lady Kira." He said with a smile. And he watched as she slowly turned and walked away, but not before she shot him an amused look.

***

Kira sat watching Legolas and Aragorn practice their archery. She had already gotten several hours so far that day, so now she was just watching them along with the hobbits. She smiled as Legolas shot her a grin and quicker than she could follow notched an arrow let it fly. She watched it land squarely in the bulls-eye. She giggled and started to clap along with the hobbits, she caught Aragorn roll his eyes.

"Legolas, stop showing off." Said Aragorn jokingly.

Legolas laughed and shook his head. Again he notched his arrow and let it go before Kira even noticed what he was doing. She smirked and the hobbits started laughing and clapping their hands again. Aragorn shook his head and notched his own arrow. He focused his attention on the target and let it loose. They all watched as it landed in the center of the bulls-eye as well.

There was clapping coming from behind them and they all turned their heads to see Arwen and Elladan standing there, smiling. They both made they're way over, Arwen went and sat with Kira and the hobbits, and Elladan, who pulled the bow he had strapped to his back out, went over to Aragorn and Legolas.

"Mind if I join you two?" he asked cheerily.

The two exchanged looks and smiled. "Sure, why not?" Legolas smiled directing an amused glance at their audience.

Elladan seemed to share the same speed fire that Legolas had for he took and arrow and fired it faster than Kira or any of the hobbits could see. His arrow landed just slightly outside the bulls-eye though.

The hobbits seemed impressed anyway and started clapping again, this time Kira joined them and so did Arwen. Kira knew that there was no way she would have even hit the target at all if she had tried to fire her arrow that fast.

Elladan turned his head slightly and stole a glance from her and grinned. She smiled and him and he winked at her. This made her blush and look away. Aragorn and Legolas seemed to notice the exchange and chuckled softly.

"Oi, isn't it almost time for lunch?" Merry chimed up suddenly.

Pip sat up and looked around. "Is it? Then we should go and get ready then shouldn't we?" he asked looking around at the others.

"Pippin, Merry, lunch isn't for at least another hour or so." Arwen said grinning at them.

Kira covered her face with her hands and shook her face, chuckling softly. "I am not so sure that they care Arwen." She said.

Elladan, Aragorn and Legolas walked over then smiling. "The hobbits trying to argue it into being time for lunch again?" Legolas said lightheartedly.

"Ah, but it's not all of us trying to do that Lord Legolas," Sam piped up. "Merry and Pippin seem to be the only two who wish to go an hour ahead of time and get lunch." He said.

Kira and Arwen started laughing and just shook their heads smiling at each other. "Trust Pippin and Merry to think with their stomachs." Kira said, at which the two just pouted.

Elladan went and stood closer to Kira and took her hand in his. She smiled up at him and pulled his to sit on her other side. Elladan put his arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Aragorn noticed this and smiled sadly at his brother. Who smiled back in much the same manner.

Elladan gave Kira a small squeeze with his arm and kissed her earlobe lightly. "Amin mela lle." He whispered softly into her ear.

She smiled and turned her face to kiss his cheek delicately. "Je T'aime." She said quietly.

They heard a few giggles and someone clearing their throats so they turned and saw four giggling hobbits a clearly amused and smirking Legolas. Aragorn and Arwen where just smiling at them meaningfully.

She blushed and smiled shyly. She looked to Arwen who gave her a kind half smile and rolled eyes as the hobbits continued to giggle. "Ai, why don't we all make our way to the dinning room? what harm could it cause to be a little early.?" She asked.

"Alright," Pip aid smilingly. "Lets go then I mean, what are we waiting for?" he said enthusiastically.

Kira could feel Elladan chuckle into her shoulder. "Yes lets go then." She said and slowly got up and waited as all the others did the same.

They all leisurely made their way to the dinning room and talked and joked the whole way. Sam and Frodo walked together in the back of the group, while Pippin and Merry led at the front. In between were Kira, Legolas and Arwen and Elladan and Aragorn just behind them.

***

Kira and Arwen where sitting on the bed in Kira's room. It was mid- afternoon and Arwen was helping Kira finish her packing. They had finished lunch about an hour ago where Kira had spent most of her time fending off teasing from Legolas and the hobbits.

"Have you gotten something to remember my brother by yet?" Arwen asked suddenly.

Kira stopped and arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean something to remember him by?" she answered.

"I mean did you get something that you could remember him by while you're on the quest?" she asked she looked like she was about to say something else but stopped herself.

"Yes? You where about to say something else Arwen? You don't need to dodge around the subject with me, just say it please."

Arwen sighed and pressed her lips into a thin line. "I mean have you gotten something to remember my brother by, you know, if you leave Middle-Earth and go home."

Kira bit her lip and shook her head tiredly. "No Arwen I haven't. What would you suggest I get from him, to remember him by."

Arwen shrugged. "I wouldn't know mellonamin, but I know you'll regret it if you do end up going back to your world and you have nothing of his to remind you of him and the time you had together."

"Though I agree with you, I cannot take anything from him without his permission Arwen. That would be stealing; I will not steal from him. So I guess it would have to be something he gave me." Kira answered.

Arwen just smiled secretively. "Of course it would Kira, I'm sure my brother has something that would show his love for you and remind you of him, that he would be willing to part with." She answered.

Kira frowned at her tone and narrowed her eyes. "I don't know what you are referring to Arwen, but I wish you would be less subtle."

Arwen chuckled and just said. "All I am saying mellonamin is that I am sure my brother will give you something that will remind you of his love for you before you leave on the quest, that is all."

Kira arched and eyebrow and shook her head. 'Fine if she wants to be elusive, let her. If what she is saying is anything to go by, I will find out what she means soon enough anyway, for we leave tomorrow.' She thought to herself as she and Arwen finished packing her bag. "One thing I do know for sure is, that I will miss this place terribly, along with all the friends I have made here."

Arwen smiled sadly and nodded. "As I will miss you Kira. But I wish to look at it this way, for I am ever hopeful. I always hope that I will see the fellowship again, sometime down the road, that includes you mellonamin." She said and Arwen hugged Kira tightly then. "I my self have something for you, a gift for the quest." She said. And she pulled a beautifully designed bow out from hiding.

Kira stared at it for a moment and smiled shaking her head. "I cannot take this Arwen, it is far to grand a gift. And isn't it your own bow?" she asked.

"It was mine yes, but I am giving it to you, for I no longer use it anyhow." The elf answered. "It would please me if you took it Kira. Please, consider it a gift of my friendship."

Kira sighed heavily knowing she wasn't going to win this one. Not with an argument like that. "Alright mellonamin, I will take it. But know that it is with reluctance."

Arwen smiled and clasped her shoulder. "Good, I hope it is of use to you. I also hope you don't find too many situations where you would need to use It." she said with sad eyes.

After that they finished her packing in relative silence. Just talking of how much they would miss one another. How Arwen would miss Aragorn terribly and how Kira would miss Elladan with all her heart.

***

Kira wandered around the Rivendell late that night. She knew she should be in bed sleeping, Aragorn has said that they would be leaving at dusk the following day. But for some reason she was unable to sleep. She had yet to say goodbye to Elladan, they hadn't had a chance at dinner for it had been a farewell feast for the entire fellowship and everyone had been there.

She had been pulled aside after to speak of which travel routs they would be taking, with the group after dinner so she was not capable of speaking to him then either. So now she was stuck. 'Hopefully I will have a chance with him tomorrow, before we depart, to say goodbye.' She thought sadly to herself. Knowing it would never be enough time.

She noticed something then that she berated herself for not noticing before. Someone was watching her, she could feel it. She knew it was an elf because she couldn't hear or see it. A twig snapped and she knew it had done that one purpose to let her know he or she was there. Kira turned slowly to see who it was that was following her around the gardens of Rivendell so late at night. A slowly smile appeared at the corners of her mouth as she walked towards the figured carefully.

"Kira melamin, what are you doing out here so late? Shouldn't you be asleep right now?" Elladan asked as she walked slowly closer. "Why are you out here, when you will need all the energy you can get tomorrow." He said.

Kira just smiled and cupped his cheek with her palm. "I couldn't sleep, I needed to get out and say my goodbye to Rivendell I suppose. I will miss this place," she confessed. "And it's inhabitants." She added the last part almost as an afterthought, in a teasing tone.

Elladan smiled and lowered his face to kiss her slowly, lingeringly. He held her closely for what would seem an eternity to any watching, but it felt like a flash in time to them both. He pulled away reluctantly for he knew she would need air.

Kira opened her eyes and gazed at him as the kiss broke. She smiled at him and leaned her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat loudly in her ear. It sounded as if it was beating inside her very head.

"Kira a'maelamin, I think you should go back to your room now. Tula, I will accompany you." He said after some time.

She pulled away from his embrace slowly and looked up into his eyes. "Alright then, if you are to accompany me." She smiled.

They walked in silence all the way to her room their arms intertwined. They would stop every now and again to kiss or just to hold each other in the silence of the night. When they finally got to her room they stopped at the door and she leaned with her back against it facing him.

He leaned forward and kissed her slowly running his thumb over her face as his hand cupped around her neck. He pulled away and he smiled as he heard a small barley audible whimper. He placed his thumb over her lips to keep her from speaking. "I have something to give you melamin." He said quietly. And he reached into his pocket and took something out of it.

Elladan then took Kira's hand in his and placed the item in her palm closing it over the object. He took one very small step back so she could look at it. When Kira opened her hand she saw a beautiful elvish ring with an ornate elvish design along the edge, she assumed it to be his family ring, Nathan had one that had her own family crest on it that their father had given him. But this was far more stunning; it had a long silver chain attached to it so it could go around her neck.

Kira looked up at Elladan with uncertainty written on her face. "Elladan, this is far to gorgeous for me, I could not possibly accept this."

Elladan just smiled and filled the small gap he had made earlier. "Melamin, I wish you to have it. It is a symbol of my love for you. I give myself to you fully, for I would rather stay behind in the memory of you, than to live without you for all the rest of this worlds ages." He then took the chain and slipped it around her neck. He took her hair and lifted it out of the way so the chain could fall around the back of her neck. He watched as she fiddled with it between her fingers while nervously biting her lip.

She sighed and looked up at him her eyes searching. "Elladan I."

He silenced her with a long soft kiss. He wrapped an arm around the back of her neck and placed the other gently around her back. Elladan felt her nervousness through the kiss, as she seemed unsure of what to do with her own hands. She seemed to decide to just let them rest against his chest.

She pulled away from him then and lowered her head to lean her forehead against his chest. "I am sorry melamin. I cannot go any further with you, I must stop there."

Elladan lowered his head to kiss her hair and smiled into it. "I understand Kira, it is what you have been taught. I will respect that." He said as he pulled away.

Kira looked up into his eyes and half smiled. She lifted a hand and traced his lips. "Thank you." She said simply and went on her tiptoes to kiss him ever so softly on his lips. Letting her lips lightly brush over his, barley touching.

Elladan let go his embrace on her then so she could turn around and open her door. She did so and walked into her room unhurriedly. She turned around before she closed the door and looked into the eyes of the elf she loved so dear. She smiled at him and her hand strayed to the ring on the chain around her neck as she fingered it absently.

Elladan smiled at her and touched his hand to his forehead, lips then his heart. Silently telling her she would always be in his thoughts and heart, that he would always love her.

She sighed heavily as she watched him turn and walked away, not looking back. A single tear fell as she shut the door and her heart broke. She flung herself on the bed and let the tears come and she sobbed without sound.

***

Kira checked through her bag to make sure she had everything. There was a soft tapping at the door and it opened to reveal Anthony and Boromir, both where seemed sad to be leaving but knew that it was time.

"Come Kira, it is time. Are you ready?" Boromir asked holding out his arm for her.

She smiled and nodded. "About as ready as could be expected Lord Boromir, considering." She said smiling sadly.

Kira adjusted the bag around her shoulder and took Boromir's offered arm as he led her out the door. Anthony took her other arm and they slowly made there way to the courtyard where the fellowship awaited them.

When they got there they saw that they where not the last, for Frodo was not there nor was Aragorn or Gandalf. She chatted quietly with the hobbits, trying to cheer up Sam who seemed worried about Frodo and where he was and why he was late.

Soon enough he came down the steps though with Bilbo close behind. Not long after that Aragorn came down looking very forlorn and tired, Arwen wasn't far behind she looked like someone had just ripped her heart out. Not long after, a minute or so, Elrond came down the steps with Gandalf.

Kira narrowed her eyes and looked from Aragorn to Arwen wondering what had transpired between them, but knowing that there was not time to ask, nor was it any of her business. Kira sighed heavily then noticed Elladan and Elrohir walked down the stairs and take their places beside Arwen, close to their father.

Kira unconsciously fiddled with the ring around her neck as she gazed at her beloved. She smiled sadly at him as he looked back at her and inclined his head staring into her very soul. She let him, she wanted him to know how much it hurt to be leaving him, how much she wished she could stay. Kira wanted Elladan to see the confusion in her soul and to understand why she felt that way. It seemed like he did for he nodded slightly and returned his own sad smile back to her.

Elrond started to speak then it seemed he noticed the exchange and was eyeing Kira curiously *"This is my last word," he said in a low voice. "The ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom. On him alone is any charge laid: neither to cast away the ring, nor to deliver it to any servant of the Enemy nor indeed to let any handle it, save members of the Company and the Council, and only then in gravest need. The others go with him as free companions, to help him on his way. You may tarry, or come back, or turn aside into other paths, as chance allows. The further you go, the less easy will it be to withdraw; yet no oath or bond is laid on you to go further than you will. For you do not yet know the strength of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet upon the road." He finished.

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens," Gimli said suddenly.

"Maybe," said Elrond, "but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not yet seen the nightfall."

"Yet sworn word may strengthen quaking heart," said Gimli.

"Or break it," said Elrond noticing Kira fiddling with something around her neck. "Look not to far ahead! But go now with good hearts! Farewell, and may the blessings of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you. May the stars shine upon your faces!"

"Good.good luck!" cried Bilbo, who stuttered with cold. "I don't suppose you will be able to keep a diary, Frodo my lad, but I shall expect a full account when you get back. And don't be too long! Farewell!" and he waved to everyone. He shot Kira and sad wink and started to walk slowly back up the stairs as the fellowship turned to depart.

They silently walked across the bridge and wound slowly up the long very steep paths that led out of the cloven vale of Rivendell; and they came after a time to the high moor where the wind hissed through the heather. Then they all turned and spared one last glance at the Last Homely House twinkling below them, and the then strode far into the night. "Namarie melamin, Au revoir Imladris." Kira whispered to the wind.

***

All right then that's the departure of the fellowship all done and over with. I am sorry that it was a little boring but if I didn't think of stuff to fill some time with, it would have been an incredibly short chapter. As you may have noticed I hinted at the 'little' scene where Aragorn tried to return the Evenstar to Arwen that you see in TTT, but I didn't dwell on it, as Kira will learn in more detail what happened later on. I am also VERY VERY sorry for how long it took to get this chapter up, but it couldn't be helped since my evil computer had died on me. But you can rest assured that it's better now, for now.

Anyway, Disclaimer: nope not in the mood, just look back at my other chapters.

*Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Book Two page, 273-274. I changed it, but only slightly.

Translations (Elvish): Tula-come, mellonamin-my friend, melamin-my love, a'maelamin-beloved, Amin mela lle-I love you, Namarie-farewell

Translations (French): Je T'aime-I love you, Au revoir-goodbye

All my thank yous:

Dancingfae: yep I just kind of thought of the way to tell him on the spot as I was writing the thing. I thought it would be sort of funny if she just sprung it on the guy/elf, because she wasn't sure what she was going to do anyway. Yeah, I wanted to show that Kira had friends outside of her brother and Anthony and the fellowship, so hence the Arwen idea. I'll go check out your website soon, I promise, to see the pictures. It's just that I've been really busy lately. Sorry for the big wait but my computer was dead, so yeah.that my excuse.

Corrina: actually Corrina the other two falling for elves as well, that thought has occurred to me. It's just that I don't know if that what I'm going to do yet. And if I do it'll just be one of 'em. And when they get to Lothlorien, um well, as for that, I haven't figured anything out yet. Oh, and here it is, the last Rivendell chapter, they are finally leaving. Sorry for the wait.

Nox: Hey, glad you liked it, even with the longness issue. Yes, the way she told Elladan she wanted to stay in ME was unfair to the poor elf, but hey if the majority of my readers liked it, then aww well. Sorry for the wait for the new chapter, my computer was being fixed and I guess they took awhile.

Fly Without Wings: Glad you liked it. Its okay if you don't write much, at least you review. And that's a good thing.

Iluvien: Glad you liked it. So you're at a loss for words?? I understand your opinion about the redhead in a red dress, but in my own defense. When I dyed my hair red (I actually meant to dye it auburn, but it turned out a BRIGHT red *Stupid bleach*), I wore red shirts and stuff all the time and it looked fine. Thank you, I will try and keep up the good work.

PyroPixie: I am pleased you loved it so much. Sorry if you didn't like how long it was, but I'm not sure how exactly I could have shortened it. I still don't know if she's going to stay or go back to her world. So don't get your hopes up or anything okay?

Chibi_Chingo: *Fans you with a hanky* sorry if you didn't like the movie scene but I can assure you that I used it as correctly as I could. I had the movie transcript right in front of me as I wrote it. Excuse me but if you want the books, READ THE BOOKS! There is ABSOLUTLY NO WAY that 'a girl falls into middle-earth' story could be cannon. If you don't like my story why did you continue to read it? You reviewed three times, if it was THAT painful for you why didn't you just stop? I LOVE that poem/song as well, it's why I put it in there, and I also thought it sort of fit with the story. What do you think? Glad you signed your last review, um.. explain what you mean exactly by 'its just pretty much re-typing the Tolkien story and inserting a few characters!'???? Cause I have absolutely no clue what you mean by that. Sorry I made you wait so long for an update.but hey its not my fault the computer broke. Still wonder why you read my story at all if you didn't like it though, maybe you could explain that to me as well?

Tara: okay, now although you didn't review this chapter *Cry, pout*. I just wanted to say, I tried to send you this, you know, to beta read. But it got sent back to me, saying there was some sort of error. I guess my attachment thingy isn't working or something? I wouldn't know. Just wanted to say that I did try to send you this one, so it's not my fault, I did try and get a beta reader.

Again, I want to thank all those who reviewed (Even Chibi, cause criticism is welcomed, as long as its not in flame form). So even though I do have the next chapter typed up and ready for upload as well, I will be holding off on uploading it for at least a few days. Just because it's nice to be ahead a few chapters and everything. *Points to a very long table with various deserts and refreshments on it* there you go guys, but that stuff is only for those who review, so if you didn't leave a review, you don't get any *sticks out her tongue all immature like*. Thanks again to every reviewer and I hope you all enjoy this new chapter *crosses fingers*.
