Thanks for the reviews they were all so nice! Here is the next chapter. I'm sorry it's so short! But I'm building up the suspense!
R&R
Disclaimer: obviously I don't own LOTR as I am soooooooo not good at writing exactly how he wrote. BIG DEAL! It's my fic, I can do whatever I like to the characters! hahaha
A/N ok I don't mean to make Haldir seem so cold, I promise it'll all be explained in chapter 6 or 7 I'm not sure yet, but don't' worry I'll explain it!!!
Chapter 5
The mornings in Rivendell are truly a sight to see. I stood on my balcony over looking the falls as the sun was rising. I must admit that it did give me hope that this whole affair would soon be over. The hope soon died as Elrond entered my room, unannounced. I knew that this meant that those words that he had not been able to have with me last night were now to come. I did not acknowledge his presence hoping against hope that he would just leave me to my thoughts, but I knew he would not. I could not deny him entry, for this was his palace, not mine, and I had no right to keep him out.
"Alatariel, please explain dinner to me."
"Well my lord, dinner is the last meal of the day, usually eaten around sunset."
"You know what I mean. Do not play games." His face was as stern as ever.
"Elrond, I have already told you what I think of this arranged marriage. I do not believe another explanation is needed." I wrapped my robes around me, as a soft breeze pulled at my hair. I turned to face him. I know my expression was soft, but I couldn't help it.
"Elrond I love you. You have always been a father to me. I need you to understand that I don't love Haldir."
"I completely understand that. However, we must all make sacrifices for our people. Please don't fail me, daughter." When he called me daughter I knew I couldn't fail him. Half of me wanted to scream at him for using such devious tactics, while the other half asked myself how I could I have every hated the man I have come to call father? While I tried to win this internal war with myself, Elrond left me. I collapsed onto the bed, pleading for an answer to come to me; little did I know that in a day's time I would have my answer.
In that day's time not much happened, but then the letter came. My heart leapt when I saw the Mirkwood seal on the letter. It came during breakfast and I was standing in the doorway when I read. After I finished my life came to a halt. My eyes filled with tears. I must have been mistaken. I re-read the letter through 5 more times, and every time it said the same thing. By now, Arwen was standing in front of me asking what was wrong. The room spun. I ran.
When I finally stumbled into my room I could hardly see. Furious tears ran down my face. This isn't happening! No! I shut the curtains, shutting out all light. The letter was trembling in my hand. I dropped it onto the floor, collapsing onto my bed. The letter on the floor confirmed what I refused to believe. The letter said this:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Short and cliffy!!! That was so short! the next chapter will be longer I promise!!
