Chapter Six

My Heart Goes Out

My Heart goes out to you,

But you don't even know me,

You don't even know.

My heart goes out..

But I don't know what else to do,

To reach you now,

My heart goes out!

- Warren Barfield

Waking from the deep sleep was something that Glorfindel found a bit of a pain, especially because it was not him doing the waking. Someone was shaking his rather rudely and he was not happy about it!

"Wake up, mûl!"

This shook the elf right out of his never-ending sleep, slightly returned to him and his eyes sought out the being above him.

'Oh Eru, please let me kill him?' he groaned and tried to raise himself up, but was rudely stopped when a kick was placed firmly in his stomach. He was very glad that he had not had anything to eat, he might have lost it.

"Get up Vanya!" he growled in his lowest tone, hitting the blonde elf over the head with his arrow shaft.

Glorfindel watched as Harlome shoved his way from the men, his angry form showing how much he really loathed his job.

"I did not bring this upon you Harlome." he whispered, he knew that the dark elf could easily hear him, even if the men could not.

He watched as the shaft in the elf's hands snapped as stress was put upon both ends.

Turning, the elf's shadowed gaze caught the bright blue eyes of the Vanya; his face showed hatred, more than thousands generations of men could hold.

Stalking back, the dark elf watched as the blonde raised one elegant, blonde eyebrow; watching the other elf for any sign of how he could get through to the dark brother of Tuilin. He saw only corruption and anger beyond the years.

"Oh, did you not master Vanya, you are lucky you belong to Sarolien. Oh so lucky you are!" taking a fair share the blonde hair in his hands he pulled the older elf close. "If you were mine, you would die a death worth remembering. And you would scream loud enough for my dear sister to hear and bring her from the dead!"

Shaking his restrained head, the blonde elf smiled sadly.

"Revenge will not bring dear Tuilin back, and especially not revenge upon the innocent." he whispered softly, the words held no edge, no horrible scoff. They only held love and worry, love for the one, he too, had lost and worry for her corrupted brother. "I wish you would believe me Harlome."

"I wish I could, Glorfindel. But all I have ever believed has been a lie." the dark elf let go of Glorfindel's fair hair. "For years I believed I would see my sisters wedding day, for years I believed that I would become a great warrior and beloved by all elves. For all these years I have believed nothing more than that my sister was still alive." he sighed and smiled grimly. "For years I wished death would finally take me to my dear sister. But nae, I fear death too much."

"Will you not believe your sister's heart? You know she held love. And even though she was dying, just because I was her last thought does not mean that I killed her. You have mixed your memories so you do not know which emotion you should show next. You are befuddled Harlome."

Scoffing at the blonde, Harlome took a step back, as if he did not know what to say. He knew what he wanted to say, he knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to kill this accursed elf and his annoying personality.

Turning round, the dark elf stalked off, the night's darkness shadowing him out of sight as his cloak shifted in the wind. He did not turned back or look back, the last sight Glorfindel saw was his silver head which shined softly in the moonlight and ducked away from sight below his shoulders.

The blonde elf wanted to help him though this, but he did not know Harlome, the only way he knew him was that he was, supposedly, related to Tuilin. He saw no resemblance. Tuilin had loved him. This elf hated him more than Sarolien did, which was slightly odd.

"I tried Mandos" he whispered as his voice was blotted out by the shrill cry of a lonely

wolf. "I tried."

Only Glorfindel heard the soft paws that slipped upon the wet grass that encompassed the resting area, no man saw the attack that was about to ensue.

~_~

Banging his head was something that passed the time rather well.

'Yes,' he told himself inwardly as the book was smacked onto face. He was not being attacked, he was not being punished. (Although right now he might rather be punished since he was so very bored, at least that would be some excitement.) 'Punishment would be fun!'

Opening the book and deciding that maybe the book would be interesting he read the words.

"Oh Eru, I have read this one already!"

"I suppose you have read every book in the house gwador nin."

Turning his silver eyes up, surprised, he watched as Lady Arwen slid into the room. Her silky red dress dragged lightly upon the hard marble and blue carpets.

"Hello Arwen, I am sorry, I did not see you."

She shook her head, holding the tray that she had brought higher so he would notice.

"Ada said I should bring you dinner."

Aragorn turned his head to look out the balcony, he saw the sun setting in the west, the soft glittering rays stinging his eyes.

"Thank goodness." he breathed, looking back as she gently set the tray upon his lap. "The day is finishing. About two more days of this torture!"

Laughing, the beautiful maiden stroked his hair. "Do not fret my brother. The days will pass quickly enough." she caught his chin in her smooth fingers and looked at the small bruises. "Estel?"

"It was Elladan and Elrohir." he said quickly, brushing her hand away and catching it in his own, softly brushing her hand with careful strokes.

"Thanks you Arwen, I am glad you came." she smiled and slipped her hand away from his, focusing her own silver-blue eyes upon his own.

"No problem at all, my brother" she emphasized the last words, he looking down and slipping away, suddenly taking interest in his food, Estel smiled.

Soft, almost unbearable footsteps had alerted Arwen that someone was coming, she smiled and turned around patting Aragorn's head gently. She began to hum The Lay of Luthien as she slipped from the young man's room, smiling smugly too herself.

"Goodnight, Estel." she called, not even looking back.

The man nodded, looking up to see her leave. "Good night, Fair Luthien."

~_~

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I don't think we are going the right way?"

Legolas sighed. "Well, I am not tracker-"

Alede reigned her horse nearer to the elven princes. "Get down off your horse and track Mirkwood elf!"

"Why?"

Linwen brought her foot up and brought it out, kicking Legolas and making him a little unsteady. "Hey?!"

"You are the best tracker out of all of us, now go!"

Sliding down off his white horse, Legolas grumped and groaned.

Adenen snickered as he watched the prince mouth words to him.

"Women!"

"I heard that!"

TBC~

So it looks like out threesome are in need of Aragorn. :) Too bad he is stuck in bed, with Arwen. If I had anything to say about that, I would say: "PICK ME!" But because I am not crazy! (That has to be the understatement of the year!) I will not say

thing. :)

Oh and let's not forget out main character, Glorfie, who in the next chapter finds himself in another little war thingy, but this time he does something no one expects!

So Hope you liked this chapter. Sorry it took so long! I have been so busy you would not believe it!

So! Have a happy Easter!!! Praise the risen Lord!!!!!!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that who-so-ever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life!

Don't forget to R&R!!!! NO flames!!!!

Yes Grumpy , it does sound bad. Poor guy. *Tsk.Tsk.Tsk* too bad I love too hurt him. :) And no lightning will hit, but he definitely has other problems. :o

Kinda, well yes, they do, Magicgirl810. I mean, they both love each other, but I don't think they have told one another yet. :) They are kinda cute, aren't they? Here is your update, I hope it is soon enough.

Oh yes, Tigress! He is filled with horrible worry for his pappy! :) And I don't think he does, he knows Adenen cares and he knows that Elrond loves him like a brother. (Not slash!) But he thinks that Estel and the bunch are so bugged by him that they would never save him. Since he is always telling them, no don't do this! Don't do that! I think he feels that they think he ruins their fun all the time. If that makes sense. Hope so. But boy, will he get the surprise of his life! :)

HAHA! I am glad you like it BabeyRachey! Hope you liked this.

MY! MY, Raven! You're a box full of questions aren't you! Hehe! I will and answer them all the best I can. And O! I am so sorry, you see, I was working on my next story which has a character named 'Ranwen' in it and I totally got you both switched round. I am sorry! :) Oh yes, that made me laughed too, I love Glorfie and I could not leave out a little more of his past. :) The little girl, well, I was thinking to put more of her, but I am not sure where to put her. And she is no one significant, or is she? Hmmm.. I'll have to think on that! Anyway, I am not quite sure who her daddy is? Sorry. And I do not know why she is angry yet either. I just had to put some sort of fiery personality in her, I thought it would be cute. Yes, well, I think that Saroniel has decided he better not underestimate this elf anymore. :) And about that, I just recently got this awesome Tolkien dictionary that I plan to use so I do not get flame; and it says that Adan is a normal human, like Saroniel. Edan is a numenorean. Like Aragorn. That is why the abrupt change in elvish words. Gwathel is some little elf girl, she, at the moment, has no importance than to injure Aragorn. :) Sorry, she may come up in later stories though. I thought of Sam too at that little bit about 'eavesdropping'. Ya, I am sorry about that. Their could be many reasons for that little snap of Elrond's intelligent mind, but no fear. Elrond will no longer have that problem. :) And about Alede, Legolas, and Estel knowing about Glorfindel in "I'm Free"; Alede and Legolas know a bit. But Aragorn hardly knows a thing, it had never came up and Elrond saw no need to tell Estel about bad memories that might stir up anger and tragedy in the last homely House. But Alede and Legolas have lived long enough to have been told the story in their homes. OK! I think that is all, I hope you do not have to kill me. :) Please don't! I like my life!!! Thanks for all the fun questions to answer, they made me think. :)

B-bye!!! Have a Wonderful Easter, and may the Lord bless you and protect you as you travel this holiday!
