Ok Frisha! Here is your update!!!!!

Yes Ymmas Sirron! Arwen is rather jealous. Hehe, we will see more of that before this is ended.

Ok! Enjoy! No flames please!

Chapter 5

A world of pain

Arwen looked up her eyes narrowed as she looked at the man that was but seven feet away from her.

He was smiling broadly and placing a beautiful flower in a young woman's jet black hair. She was laughing and holding his other hand.

Raw loathing poured into the elf maiden's heart and she snarled, making Legolas look up at her.

Aragorn brushed the girl's cheek. "Meleth nin Arwen." He whispered, and tickled her ear with loving whispers in the beautiful foreign tongue.

She could understand none of these words, but the real Arwen understood every single one.

Legolas and Alede only starred at their confused friend a moment.

Aragorn surely was not acting himself.

"Why you?!" Arwen got up from her seat by the fountain and walked hurriedly over to where the young man was still clueless with his beloved.

Stopping in front of the two, her form towering above both. She brought her fair hand out and brought it swiftly across his cheek.

He fell back in confusion, only looking up at the cloaked woman. He rubbed his hurting face and looked up into the dark cloak.

Gwen became infuriated, she stepped forward and brought her hand up and struck the hood.

The elven cape fell back and she gasped as she looked at the beautiful elven maiden with wide frightened eyes.

Arwen was about to lunge at the young man that was lying on his back and propped up by his elbows. But two arms stopped her and she let out a yelp as the rough hands pulled her backwards.

"Alede. I think it is time to leave now." Legolas whispered in elvish from beneath his own dark cloak. Alede nodded in satisfaction and pulled Arwen back with her.

She let Legolas take hold of the angry elf maiden and grabbed Aragorn's hand, hauling him up and looking at him with a searching gaze.

"Strider?" She asked, but the man only stepped backwards in fear that this woman would smack him also.

She saw the tears trail down his confused cheeks and went to wipe one away, but he flinched and turned round on his heel.

He jetted off in the direction of the stables, he did not know what he would find there, but it had to be better than the nagging feeling in his mind and the stinging in his cheek.

"No wait!" Alede leapt after him but was stopped by another hand. She looked at the one who held her.

It was Legolas, his hood was down and his beautiful blonde locks spilled across his strong shoulders. He coughed and let go of her before turning to Gwen, who stood dumfounded.

"I am sorry miss. I did not mean to scare your friend. You see we are looking for one of much his own looks. Does he have a name that I might know?" Legolas smiled and nodded his head in the direction of the barn.

"How dare you!" a looked of hatred and confusion came over her own face and she clenched her teeth.

"Please." Alede grabbed Gwen's arm and looked at her pleadingly.

Gwen's face softened, but it did not loose the steel bight that scarred them most.

"I named him Thorongil. I know not of any other name. He was found by Denethor, the stewards son." she looked at the barn that sat down the street. " Excuse me! I must go!" she broke away from them and ran from the two travelers.

Aragorn let the tears fall from his eyes, he did not care. He could not feel them, all he could feel was the horrible aching in his heart when the pictures flashed through his mind.

The pictures were of all type of folk, but what confused him most were the images of the dark haired maiden that had slapped him and the other woman, a mortal or so she looked, like himself.

The other figure that had been there had been cloaked and he could not see the face.

He let the fierce sobs continue to attack his body, he retched miserably as a sickening pain passed through his stomach.

He had forgotten that he was still not totally well.

His hand began to ache and lifted it up to look at it through tear streaked eyes.

It was a bit red in spots with blood, but mostly white and clean.

He brought the arm to his chest as it began to ache.

A sudden pounding in his ears alerted him to someone's approach.

He detected that they were light in build and not very old. They seemed energetic and young.

Aragorn sucked back the emotions and listened to the soft footfalls as they entered the barn.

The light whisper of the straw against feet alerted him that they were in the barn.

He snuggled back against the pile of hay and whispered elvish to the bark brown mare that was nuzzling him reassuringly. His whispers were so light, that they were not heard by the other.

"Thorongil?" the voice was that of Gwen's. She seemed in panic and he could sense the tears in her voice.

He did not answer. He quieted all but his breathing as he stroked the horse's muzzle.

"Thorongil? Who were those people?" Gwen's voice asked. Aragorn could hear her soft footfalls against the hay coming closer.

"Please come into my sight." Gwen pleaded, her deep blue eyes scanned the room around her.

Aragorn sighed, he did not want to cause her anymore panic, but he did not want to face her yet.

He wiped at his eyes, and stood silently too his feet.

"I am here Gwen." Aragorn said. Gwen turned in his direction and wiped away crystal tears of her own.

"Thorongil." She breathed as she walked towards him.

Her deep blue eyes meeting the silver ones.

"Who were those people?" She asked, repeating her question from before.

"I don't know." Aragorn said, he looked down at Gwen.

"I don't know." He said again.

Gwen dropped her gaze to the floor, but then looked back up at Aragorn.

"We should probably be getting home." Gwen said, taking the ranger's hand.

"Yes." He said, as they moved towards the barn door, towards the home had known for several months now.

Ok, anyway, so hope you liked this. I know you all wanted more of "I Thought I Knew You", but I told Linwen I would update this over two days ago, and she was probably feeling rather ticked at me.

So! I will update that soon, there will be about two chapters. Then we will get onto the story after that. The next story has less action and is more of a romance/drama between Legolas and Lingwen. But there are some twists, so should be pretty exciting, considering she does not know that he or Aragorn is alive.

Anyway! Hope you liked this and I will be quite happy to receive ANY good reviews. Thanks!!!! No Flames!!!!!
