The Marriage Proposal
Part 2: The Second Part
Here it is, back by the popular demand of the people. I think 2 people said that they wanted more. That's a lot, right? Of course. So all you reviewers keep on reviewing, and you just might get more story. Okay?
Arwen sat in her chamber, staring dolefully out the window. It had been all of two days since the fellowship had left, and already it seemed like forever. It had been three days since Aragorn had told her to leave with her people. That seemed like longer than forever. How could she do it?
I can't leave. She thought furiously. I belong with Aragorn, here, at Rivendell. And maybe someday, Aragorn will come back. She swiftly cast aside that thought. There is no 'maybe!' He will come back. Someday, I'll see him again. Someday.
She sighed. She just wanted to be with Aragorn. Was that too much to ask? Apparently her father thought it was. As soon as Legolas had even mentioned the proposal, he had just completely forgotten about Aragorn. He had forgotten that Aragorn even existed! Well, that wasn't true. He remembered that Aragorn existed. But he had denied that she and Aragorn could ever be together! And it wasn't true! She could be with him! Mortality was a small price to pay for being with him.
"If I leave him now, I will regret it forever," she whispered to herself. She stared out the window once more. Maybe she would try that argument on her father. He would give in. And she would be with Aragorn forever and ever.
*****
Aragorn trudged along slowly. His heart was heavy. Why had he let Elrond talk him into refusing Arwen? He loved Arwen. She was his heart and soul. Without her, living would be pointless.
He shook all thoughts of Arwen away. He needed to have his wits together to continue on the quest. He would have no time for thoughts of her.
Looking forward, Aragorn saw Legolas's long blonde hair, perfect in every way. Aragorn tried to force down the hatred that boiled up at the sight. There would be no room for personal matters here on the quest. It wasn't Legolas's fault. He hadn't known about the love Aragorn felt for Arwen, and vice versa. All he had known was that there was a possible alliance between Mirkwood and Rivendell. That would be no small feat. Aragorn looked down. For his comfort, he would not look at Legolas's head for the rest of the time. Then he could forget about what had happened, and still pretend that Arwen was his.
*****
Legolas walked along lightly, but his light feet did not match his heavy heart. What have I done? He wondered. Well, actually, he knew what he had done. He had driven Arwen and Aragorn far apart. Before, the question of mortality and immortality had been carefully avoided. But he had brought it up. He had opened a door that should have remained shut. He had struck a wedge between two people who belonged to each other.
Of course, he could defend himself. He hadn't known about the love they shared. But even at the Council, he had seen the way they looked at each other. He had seen them together. There was no defense for what he had done. He had done the unthinkable. I can't believe how stupid I could be. You'd think all my time on this earth would have given me some wisdom. Now he was feeling sorry for himself, trying to justify what he had done by lack of wisdom. Well, that wasn't good enough. What could he do? He couldn't apologize. He could, but what would it do? Aragorn and Arwen would still be separated.
He called himself a fool in all the tongues of men and of elves, but nothing would remove the guilt that gnawed away at him. He'd never done anything so truly horrible before. Now he knew what it was like.
I hate myself. Now that was very self pitying. He really had to stop this. I will stop bringing myself down. I made a mistake. It was stupid. But now it's too late to change this.
But if I can do anything to bring them back together, I will.
So, my friendly little reviewers, how was it? Well, give me another review, and I will tell you more about what happens. I promise. Promise. Promise. I will write more for more reviews. And you will find out: will Aragorn and Arwen ever be together?
