The Princess Unknown 3
Chapter 3
Attack on the Queen
14 years later…
"You need to forget it Estel," Arwen told her husband.
"I cannot," He replied staring out the window.
"Aragorn! I am fed up with this! I separated you to make you love me! I have given you a son and three daughters! What has he given you?" She demanded.
"Everything I could ever want," He answered. She screamed in rage and went out the door slamming it behind her. Aragorn didn't even flinch as the door slammed, this was their 20th wedding anniversary and as always they had a fight over his feelings. Every year many times Arwen would demand that he forget Legolas but he just could not. Every time she threw a fit but he'd frown used to it by now.
"Legolas…" He whispered and a tear fell from his eye.
*****
The next morning he awoke to find a note from Arwen telling him that she had gone to Imladris and would be gone for a few weeks. This to he was used to, it happened every year when they had their major fight. He didn't really care that she had left, that screaming harpy was gone, finally he could have some peace and quiet.
*****
"Your sister will be arriving soon," Elrond told his sons.
"Is it time for their anniversary again?" Elrohir asked.
"Yes, we can only expect the worst," Elrond replied.
The twins sighed, Arwen used to bring joy into their lives but ever since she had married Aragorn, she had been nothing but a horror. The reason Elrond had tried to persuade her not to marry him so hard was because he knew of Legolas and Aragorn's relationship and of how happy they had made each other. He had tried to show her that but she was determined that Aragorn would be hers and hers alone. Elrond had even went to Aragorn to try and talk him out of it but Legolas's words were more powerful and influenced in Aragorn's mind than his were.
^^^^^
Elrond saw Legolas leave Aragorn's study, his head down. He could even swear that he had seen tears falling down his cheeks. The lord of Imladris turned his left and looked inside an open door only to see his daughter spinning around in her wedding dress smiling to herself as if she knew something that others did not. Sighing he went to the study door and knocked, there was a mumbled reply of "enter" so he did. He was greeted with the sight of the human that he had grown to call son standing by the fire, his hand covered his mouth in a sad and worried expression.
"You should not do this Aragorn," He said.
"I must."
"No, you have a responsibility to those that you love before duty. You do not love my daughter," Elrond told him.
"You are right there but no I must go threw with this. I am king of Gondor now, my people and their future come first," Aragorn answered. Elrond could see that he was going to get nowhere so with a sigh he left his son to his thoughts. He never saw Legolas renter the study.
^^^^^
Their thoughts were broken as horses were heard outside. Arwen had arrived…
*****
3 weeks later…
Arwen was not happy, her family was turning their backs on her. All her father could say was that he had tried to tell her this before she married Aragorn, and her brothers…her own brothers were hiding from her! She bid a quick farewell to them and then rode with her two escorts back towards Gondor. After she had disappeared from their sight, Elrond turned to his sons who were already mounting their horses.
"Make sure she gets back safely," He said.
"Yes ada," They answered and started to follow.
*****
Arwen could see the White Tower of Gondor when her horse stopped suddenly.
"Luthviel, come on, I wish to get home," She urged.
"Arwen! Watch out!" Two voices called. She turned around and saw her brothers galloping towards them just as arrows came raining down upon them.
Her guards got down and fought as best they could and she grabbed a bow but it wasn't much use in the close combat there were now engaged in. Elladan and Elrohir were fighting near her but it was still enough space for danger to happen, and it did.
"Ah!" Arwen cried out as a sword slashed across her stomach.
"No!" Her brothers cried and finished the men off before any other danger could befall her. They both came to her side fussing over her wound.
"Ride back to Imladris and get ada. I'm taking her on to Gondor, meet us there," Elrohir told Elladan. His twin nodded and quickly mounted riding off.
"Ro…I'm going to die…" Arwen whispered.
"No, I'll get you to Gondor, ada will come and you will be fine…Arwen? Arwen!" He exclaimed as she slipped into unconsciousness. Elrohir quickly and carefully got on his horse with Arwen in his arms and he rode to Gondor.
*****
One week later…
"Ada, I wish to sail West. I want to see mother one last time," Arwen told him.
"I shall join you. I feel my time is up here as well," Elrond replied. The twins stood to the side, their tears falling freely. Sure their sister had made them mad but she was their sister, and they would miss her. Aragorn was also present in the room, her had emotion in his eyes but he did not cry.
"We will miss you," Elladan whispered and Elrohir could only nod.
"I suppose you shall remain?" Elrond asked and the twins nodded. "Fine, I shall make you a list of herbs and their uses just in case you need it."
*****
2 days later…
Elrond and the twins had given Aragorn and Arwen a few moments alone before she and Elrond were to sail.
"Aragorn, will you miss me?" She asked.
"Yes."
"As you miss him?"
"No."
"Was there ever a time you truly loved me?" She whispered. He came and sat beside her holding her hand.
"Arwen I have always love you, as a sister. You know that I only married you out of duty and you have given me wonderful children but it is not the same as I feel for him," Aragorn explained.
With a sigh she said quietly,
"Be happy."
