Chapter nine: Unknown
"Galadwen?" Elrond said with a deep breath.
He smiled joyfully and ran over to me. He paused only seconds away from me. I stared at him with all the care in the world; he was in fact my father.
"Atar!" I cried.
I pushed myself up on the bed and pulled him into a long lasting embrace. But I quickly let go and clenched from the pain in my aching arm. I laid back down slowly. I stared lovingly into his auburn eyes.
"My daughter you are back!" he happily said.
I grinned weakly at him I knew I was back. But why is it that I thought I had been someone completely different. I thought I was someone who was not of this world. And then it had some to me.
"The man," I blurted out. "He said princess, but he was going to kill me, I am a princess. Does that mean anything?" I questioned them.
Both Galadriel and Elrond turned to each other and gave a stare, which was shared by Gandalf. They all seemed squeamish for some reason.
"What is it?" I asked them.
They began to worry me as they did not answer.
"What?" I angrily shouted.
Gandalf stepped closer to the foot of Belle's bed. He paused for a moment and turned back to Elrond who gave a reassuring nod. He turned his electrifying blue eyes back at me.
"That is why we had to send you to Mirkwood initially," He began. "I am sorry to inform you of this, in the state you are in now, he is after you!"
My eyes widened in fear. I knew of the 'he' that Gandalf had mentioned.
"But how could Handir? Be. I mean I thought he had died? In the battles?" I shakily asked.
I slowly sat up in the bed again as pain rushed in. But I blocked the hurt from my head as I rose up to face all of them. I awaited Gandalf's reply.
"No, that was mistaken by his father. But Haldir has passed in the Battle for Helms Deep." He explained.
I grew saddened as I drooped my head and let a lone tear fall from my crystal eyes. How long had it been? Was the only thing I thought of.
"Is this when Prince Legolas had left?" I asked. "But a few years before. Although it seems as if only weeks have passed."
Gandalf nodded, as he understood. He slowly stepped closer to the bedside and sat in a chair that was next to the bed. He began to mumble to himself and stare blankly into the air.
"How could it be that he has found you?" Gandalf thought aloud.
"Gandalf, do you believe this spell had anything to do with it?" Galadriel asked.
Gandalf hummed again. He then brought his eyes to Elrond.
"Have you not seen this?" Gandalf asked him.
"Nay, I have not, it could be something not meant for the future." Elrond explained. "She is the only key to us knowing."
I turned to them and then I remembered that I was not the only princess in the castle, and the promise that Handir had said to me. It was almost half a decade before.
** I stared deeply into Handir's eyes as he gently caressed my cheek gently. His eyes were the bluest of clear waters.
"Handir, why do you torture me so? You know I hate when you do that to my cheek." I complained with a smirk.
He smiled playfully.
"Aye, I do. But you are the most beautiful creature, and it is when you blush you are most beautiful." He sweetly said.
I smiled at him. But he still caressed my cheek. So in one swift movement I stood up. He tried to grab me but I jumped from him. I curtsied then began to run through the Rivendell forest. I ran as quickly as my light elven feet could carry me. But I could still hear the laughter of Handir as he ran as quickly as I. His footsteps grew closer and closer and I fell down laughing. He came up behind me and drew out a knife.
'He's Evil!' I scarcely thought.
"Now my love, it is time." He said aloud.
I stared at him in confusion. He was speaking in riddles, as elves often do not, unless it is poetry.
"You are not making since." I said to him.
"I am, I believe it is you who is not. But that will change."
"What has come over you?" I shouted. "Are you playing a child's game with me, you are a grown elf-"
But I stopped as he threw the knife down landing beside me in the dirt. I unsteadily turned my gaze to him as he rushed towards me. **
"I do not know what has happened. But he will not harm Bariela or I, or my sister as long as I am here." I sternly swore.
And with that I stood up in the bed once again. I slid my legs out of the bed and then down to the soft wooden floor. I then turned to my sister who calmed down, and was smiling.
"Shall we go to dinner?" I insisted as everyone gave me a look of shock.
I smiled at them as I stood up. But shakily fell back to the bed. I turned to Gandalf with a sweet and helpless smile.
"Will you assist me to the kitchen?" I asked him.
He stared at me in wonder.
"You do not have to eat there anymore. Everyone in the castle know now, if it had not been for your friend and the prince, you might have not been found." Gandalf said.
I took in a deep gulp. I had to eat with the royals and everyone else. I stood again with the assistance of Gandalf, but then I remembered I was in no apparel to eat with them. I smiled and turned my gaze to my grandmother.
"Will you get me Bariela, so we may get ready together, and she can help me?" I asked her.
Galadriel nodded and headed out of the room. Along with everyone else who gave me a large embrace before they left. The last to leave was Arwen.
"I love you sister, please be well." She whispered as I help her lightly so I would not be in pain.
She then stepped back from me and gave me a kiss on my forehead. I smiled at her as she left the room. I slowly walked over to where a nice red velvet chair was and I sat in it. I anxiously awaited Bariela's return to her room.
And not long later she entered her room. I slowly stood and she approached me. We gave each other a giant hug. I supposed she had found out who she really was.
"Gabby-I mean, Galadwen. This is going to be quite difficult to adjust to. I mean we have always been Bariela and Galadwen, but we are once again, only fuzzier." She babbled.
But I understood. She was right, that it would be a while before we would be like we were once upon a full moon.
"Shall we?" I hinted towards the closet.
She nodded to me as we slowly walked into the long and dark of the closet. I smiled as I lit a small lantern, which hung off to the side. The closet was full of the most brilliant colored dresses. We walked along the edges until I viewed a beautiful dress.
It was a sort of teal with a plunging neckline. The bottom fell like a bell to the ground. My eyes glinted at it and I walked over to it. Even the arms were covered, so I would be able to wear it.
I brought my happy gaze to Belle who was still searching. I giggled as she twirled in a yellow golden dress.
"Is this it then?" I asked her.
She brought her eyes to me and smiled. We walked out of the room and headed over to the large bathroom. We began to dress. But before we realized the time, with doing each other's hair, someone knocked at the door.
"Yes?" Bariela called to it.
"'Tis Legolas!" Legolas said on the other side.
"Coming!" She shouted back.
I grinned at her as I saw her rush to force her shoe on her foot. I knew she fancied Legolas more now than ever. She ran to the door and I slowly followed after her. She creaked the door open to reveal Legolas.
He was holding the most beautiful bouquet of irises I have ever seen. He brought his hand to hers, as he handed her the flower. She was so much in love with him. I wasn't going to let anything come between them.
But then I saw two pairs of legs behind him. I noticed blonde hair passed Legolas and I shuffled my feet to see the figure that stood behind him. My mouth dropped. I knew who he was. I was in love with him. I as Galadwen.
"Lemorn?" I coughed out.
A/N: And who do you think it is? Nobody knows!!!!!! Hehehehe! Megan was right you feel great after writing a cliffy!!!!! Hehehehehh! Okay I am going to go let you all review like mad!!!
