Ok, time for those response things.

Linwen, mellon nin, why do you keep reviewing your own story? It's a little…degrading? Anyway, you could tell me something you want to say in the author's note?

Sorry Frisha, Linwen puts as much Estel as she can. WAIT! Linwen! You could put more Estel!!!!! *shrugs* Well the very reason that there is more Legolas is because she likes him better. I, on the other hand, like Aragorn! And thanks, the next few chapters should have a bit more Aragorn.

Haha! Linwen is in trouble! Seems all our reviewers like Aragorn more than Legolas. Too funny! Anyway, sorry Ymmas Sirron here is more!!!

DRAT! Sorry guys! Hope that was all of you, time to go pray and then go to bed!!!! Later!!!!!

Chapter 8

Do you see these tears?

I cry, but no one hears.

Or do they?

But then I hear You callin'.

Alede took a deep breath, then released it slowly, her breath appearing in front of her eyes.

Arwen sat beside her, and Legolas on the other side, they had chosen to go back to the fountain and see if Aragorn and the woman would be there.

There suspicions were correct.

Arwen and Legolas were seated on the bench, their faces concealed by the hoods of their cloaks.

The hood of Alede's leather coat was down, but her pointed ears were covered by her long dark tresses.

She stood and moved closer to the couple. Her hearing zoning in on their conversation alone, and blocking all other noises out.

~~~~*~~~~

"Thorongil," Gwen said, as she turned her deep blue eyes on the man beside her. "How long do you plan on staying?" She asked her beloved.

"What do you mean?" Aragorn asked, turning his silver eyes on Gwen.

"How long do you...do you plan on staying with my family...with me?" Gwen asked, as dropped her gaze from Aragorn's.

Aragorn reached out and took Gwen's chin, making her look back up at him.

"I don't plan on leaving you anytime soon Gwen." He said softly, leaning down and gently kissing her.

~~~~*~~~~

Arwen's eyes narrowed, and her body tensed. Legolas noticed that Arwen had become rigged and she had started to twitch slightly from the anger that had built inside of he. He followed her gaze.

His mouth dropped slightly as he saw what his friend was doing. Legolas grasped Arwen's forearm tightly, not about to let Arwen at Aragorn again.

~~~~*~~~~

Alede's mouth dropped slightly as she saw what her friend was doing. Aragorn must not be thinking clearly.

She returned to Legolas and Arwen, she noted that Legolas was tightly holding the elf maiden back, and she whispered in elvish to the two.

"Legolas, we had better be going." Alede said, shifting her gaze from Legolas to Arwen, the elf maiden was clearly seething.

Legolas and Arwen stood, Legolas had to half drag the elf maiden away.

"We need to get Aragorn away from that woman, she has so far been with him every time we have seen him." Alede said.

"We need to isolate him. Even if it means having to knock him out." Legolas agreed, replying in elvish.

Alede nodded solemnly, but how would they get him away?

~~~~*~~~~

Elladan and Elrohir sat motionless on the steps of Rivendell, which was odd for the twins, for they were almost always up to something which would get themselves, or their younger brother in trouble. But on some occasions that trouble would also include the help of Legolas and/or Alede.

Or still in vary rare times their younger sister would be included in the mischief, but Alede was around more then Arwen, so she had become a sort of sister to the twins,

along with Legolas who was now like a brother.

"Wonder if they have found him yet." Elrohir said quietly, shifting his deep blue eyes side long.

"I've had enough of this!" Elladan said, as he leapt swiftly to his feet. "I can't sit here and wait for them to come down that road." He said as he looked down at his twin brother.

"Lets go get them." Elrohir said as he also stood a smile on his face.

"Go where?" Elrond asked, as he came out onto the porch of the house of Imladris. His blue eyes eyeing his sons.

"Ada, we can not sit here and wait for them to come down that road! We're going to find them." Elladan said, his eyes showing determination in their depths.

Elrond smiled at his sons, he had thought that was what Elladan was going to say and he had already made the preparations for them.

"Farothir has already prepared previsions, and there are two saddled horses in the stables." Elrond said, the smile on his face widening.

His sons grinned back at him.

"Thank you Ada." They said at the same time. Then hugging their father.

"We will come back with them." Elrohir said quietly, as he pulled back and looked into his father's eyes.

"I know you will." Elrond said in return.

The twins turned on their boot heels and headed for the stables, where they climbed upon their horses and minutes later their forms sped down the road out of Rivendell.

Elrond looked after them a moment, "Be careful my sons." He whispered before walking back into his house.

TBC~

OK! So we now have things a bit more in motion, oh and by the way, the dull chapters were not put to bore you. Linwen thought we needed some more time in this story so she had to make the chapters slow.

Anyway, the next chapter will definitely be better, when they decide how to get to Aragorn.

So, stay tuned and I promise to try and get the other stories updated soon!!! I am going to see "The Passion" So I may be an emotional wreck for a few days. Hey, all you out there, who else is going to or has seen it? What'd you think? Did it strengthen your faith at all, or well how did it make you feel? Just curious!

I am going to need some cheering up after tomorrow, so anyone who wants to send me a nice cheery review, fee free!!!! Flame me you ask? OH! YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MESS WITH ME IN THAT WAY THEN! Well the most it will do is cause me to have an emotional breakdown, but you wouldn't want that, I'd never finish, and Linwen has no FF.net account, so it is all up to me. Anyway, R&R! No flames please!!!!!!!!!!!!
