Chapter Nine

"Go were you wish but stay close so you can hear my call." She whispered into his ear softly. Her stead bolted off and made for the edge of the forest that lay close to the palace. He stopped and began to graze. His main lying lazily on the floor as he ate. Celendil watched her horse begin to graze, a smile grew on her lips. * He usually would stay out of sight and graze but here he is out in the open he feels safe! Why can I find rest and then the next minute I don't find rest here! *

Celendil turned and began to walk towards the palace. Once inside the palace she realised she had no idea were she was going other than to walk around for a while until she finds something interesting. She walked down long halls, one after another, long and full of light, tapestries and paintings. In some window sills there would be ivy growing, falling down on the inside of the walls giving it the feel of nature. She carried on walking until she came to an archway. As you walked through the archway you came to the most beautiful sight. The garden was full of colour, the flowers blooming in full magnificence, old tall trees stretching towards the sun. Celendil carried on walking through the garden. She came to a stream with an out stretched bridge above it. She walked on to the bridge and sat in the middle, her legs dangling off the side swing to and froe. Celendil was deep in thought when an elf approached; he quietly approached and greeted her.

Celendils pov

I was sitting there just thinking yeah you heard right just thinking about what the hell I was doing here, why I thought I had an obligation to stay here and let them find out what the hell was happening to me. I do not know what is happening but if they find out they will probably lock me up and throw away the key. Just earlier this old man came into my life you might say and called me by my own name! And says he knows things about me. What does he know? Does he know who I am? Does he know what I am? Or what I am turning into? Does he know my true family? So many questions that don't seem to be going away! They just stay here repeating them selves over and over it is enough to send anyone insane it is amazing I am not gone yet. I need to find out what that old man knows. And what exactly the prince is up to that means I will have to be reasonably nice ha don't think sooo some how! Shit what am I going to do. Just then I heard footsteps behind me I didn't recognize them as the princes but maybe he wanted to be heard.

"Cel sii'! I don't want to be tormented I just want to be left alone!"

"Maybe you would think differently if you knew who you are talking to." It was a soft voice not a deep testosterone filled voice like that of the prince, mind you he just had the right deep voice I could just listen to all day. Did I just say that where the hell did that come from! I slowly turned around wondering who would have the stomach to approach me. To my complete surprise an old friend stood in front of me. I rose to my feet as fast as I could with out falling into the stream. That was all I needed today to make a fool of myself.

"Arwen! Vedui'!" I embraced her in a tight hug. It had been along time since I had seen her last. wait it has been at least a thousand years. "It is so nice to see you fairing well. What have you been up to these past years?"

She smiled at me and continued to answer my questions. "I have been fairing well my old friend. I am married to a perfect man. We are still in love with each other as much as the first time we met."

I could feel my face splitting in half my smile was that big. "You said man not elf is there something you should tell me Arwen?"

Her smile faded and she turned motionless, her face unreadable to emotions. "Arwen tell me what bothers you so?"

"I AM married to a man Cel, his name is Aragorn. He is the king of Gondor." She didn't break her gaze with me for even a second. She had always been very strong when you least expected it.

"I am happy for you my friend, it does not bother me you married to a man as long as you love him and he loves you in return, that is all that matters. You do love him as much as you say you do. do you not?" I carried on looking her straight in the eye waiting for some sort of emotion pass by them even a flicker, just anything.

"I do love him Cel so much it makes my heart ache not to be around him every second of the day. And I think of him continually." She carried on with the staring contest.

"Then that is all that matters I do not care who you marry even if it is a dwarf you might be mad to actually consider it but still I would hold my tongue to the best of my ability and try not to kill the quick witted ones, but still I would be there for you." She moved forward and gave me a hug; I returned that small favour with a pat on her back for reassurance.

"How have you been fairing over the last years my friend?" she smiled at me lightly and we started walking further into the garden.

And how do I answer that one! Erm... I have bee fairing well my friend but enough of me let us carry on with you.. or just turn around and sat not saying one word of that one!

"Cel, are you alright?"

"Pardon, o sorry I was just thinking."

"Well obviously but what were you thinking about?"

"Nothing. really. What would you like to no Arwen?"

"What brought you here to Mirkwood?" she looked at me. You know how they do it they just look and you know there is no fooling them.

"Ok" I took a deep breath thinking how the hell am I going to explain this one, Just blurt it out you stupid moron was what I got back. "You know my mother was into gardens and her herbs?" "Yes I do she had the most gorgeous flowers as well as the rare herbs." She smiled at the thought of seeing my mother's gardens. Well she would never see them again EVER!

"Mother used to tell me about the gardens at the Mirkwood palace of the big fountain that no one other than the king and his royal family could lay eyes on. And when she died I took up on my self that I would be the one to look at it with my own eyes. When I turned up and started to look around the Gardens a certain prince was on his balcony. I turned and got out of there as fast as I could but I stopped in a clearing thinking he wouldn't be after me now, big mistake, that I will never make again. He found me and wanted me to go with him back to the palace, but I had other plans so we got in to a fight and he brought me back. I was unconscious mind you so I couldn't say much. When I woke up we got into a heated discussion. And I sort of blasted him." I was waiting for it.

"YOU DID WHAT!!" her eyes wide with shock.

I scrunched my face up " I kind of blasted him. I did not mean to!"

"You did not mean to? You sound like an elf ling! Why on Middle Earth would you zap the PRINCE?!" She glared at me with ice eyes.

"I was angry with Prince Legolas at the time I have no control over that! And, do not try to defend him! His head is big enough as it is, it does not need to expand!" O my god! I really do not need this right now.

"I am sorry Celendil but you just shot the Prince, he is a good friend to me." Arwen placed her hand gently on my shoulder and squeezed.

"I do not need your pity Arwen. And I do not care what kind of a friend he is! It makes no difference!" I carried on walking.

There was silence for the next following minutes; it became uneasy but worse when my friend asked that one question I knew she would ask.

"You blame him do you not?" She looked me straight in the eye when I turned my head.

"Yes I do blame him it his realm as well as his fathers. And they were the ones to leave them to die horrible for no reason they had done nothing wrong!"

"The King is not like that I know him well trust me when I say he must have had a good reason or someone else took the order and dealt with it. Give them a chance they are not evil as you make them out to be." She looked at with concern but confusion on her part.

"Why should I give them the chance that they never gave my people?" this was it I was getting angry and angry rather quickly.

"Fine you blame the King then but do no think of blaming Legolas to this because he was away with the fellowship TRYING TO SAVE MIDDLE EARTH!" Arwen rarely lost her temper with others. But today was obviously one of those rare occasions.

"Why should i trust the Prince, he is the Kings flesh and blood. In time the Prince will become like his father. heartless for others only caring for him self! And do not say Legolas and we have things in common because the only thing we do have in common is that we want to kill each other!"

"I was not going to say anything of the sort! And if he does not kill you first god so help me I will! What I was going to say to you Celendil is that you are the Heartless one here or you are made of ice. You are nothing like your father or your mother that is one thing I am sure of!"

My anger flared it was becoming too much to handle. "Do not bring my parents in to this in any shape or form Arwen!"

"Well then stop being so level headed and find out what actually happened!" By this time we were both as angry as each other. We walked into the palace halls and carried on with the argument.

"Celendil!" Arwen shouted as we carried on walking "You do not know what exactly went on because you can not be in two places at once! Argue or even god forbid talk with the King he will answer your questions as long as you start to answer theirs in return! They know nothing of you, were, as you know as much of them as everybody else in this realm!"

"Good! And that is the way it shall stay!"

"No it will not stay like that! I will tell them EVERYTHING myself if you do not tell them the answers to their questions!" She glared at me like she had been doing scince the beginning of this argument it was becoming less and less threatening.

"The only answer the King shall get out of me is how it feels to loose his only son!" I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to look at Arwen straight in the eyes. This was it she knew exactly how I felt and what I was going to do.

"That is not the way to deal with this Celendil you must know enough to at least acknowledge this much!"

"Like you said Arwen I am level headed. I am not going to give in I am the last of my family and tribe. If you were the only one left and some one was to blame for their deaths then you in turn would understand!" My stomach felt like many knives had been stabbed in to it, through the knowledge of never being able to see them, again. The next thing to leave Arwen's mouth came to me as a surprise.

"GUARDS!"

I looked at her completely aw struck, as too what she had just done. I did not think she would do that. I glared at her and turned to get out of this place as fast as I could.

"GUARDS! Come quickly!"

"I will see you later, Arwen!" I turned and began to run down the hall only to see two guards coming my way. I turned quickly to run in the opposite direction only to see another two guards coming from the opposite way. I stood my ground and waited for them to approach. I swung my arm at one of the guards, hearing a load crack coming from his jaw I had broken it. One of the guards had took the opportunity to grab hold of my stomach while I was hitting the other guard in front of me he grabbed my arms and forced them round to my back. That was it they had caught me!!
