Chapter Five
The Promise
Annawen fought the guards fiercely, the screams from within the room filled her heart with pain.
'Fio! Fio hold on.' She yelled kicking Barad in the groin and making for the door. An arm flew out in front of her from nowhere and the blow knocked her to the floor.
'Utinu en lokirim, amin delotha lle!' She hissed at the guard the stood before her laughing.
{Son of snakes, I hate you!} She again got up in another attempt to help her friend, and so it went on for a least an hour, but at the end time was not known.
The doors swung open just as Annawen was biting the ear of no longer laughing guard, and Barad lay on the ground in pain, from multiple blows to the groin. Solomir stood looking at the mess in the hall from the struggle that had taken place, then he yeld for his guards to get up and go with him to Lord Denethor. The guards got up and follow, Annawen smiled as saw the deep finger nail cuts across Solomir's face. As the men walk towards the door Annawen began to run after them, but then, from within the bedroom a sound came that made Annawen's heart break. Fio could be heard sobbing from within, it sounded like the mournful cry of a songbird after it's mate had died, saddest thing any could hear.
The choice conflicted Annawen, to attack the men fell men of Gondor or go to her friend. Annawen turned and run into the bedroom, she looked around franticly. Nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. Sprawled on the floor, laid Fio, bruised and spirit broken. Shreds of her dress were strewn around the room, blood dripped from her nose and the corner of her mouth. Her stomach still bled freely and all that cover her was what remained of a sheet torn in the struggle. Annawen ran to her and touched her tear stained cheek, Fio quivered and let out a cry.
'Shhhh. Hush now, it's ok.' Annawen lifted Fio into her arms and wrapped sheet around her.
'A-annawen?' Fio voice was weak and barely audible.
'It's me Fio, I'm here.' Annawen pressed Fio close to her and closed her eyes, rocking her back and forth. The only thought that passed through her mind was, how could she have left this happen to her friend? Why did Solomir crush this flower? Why? There and then, with Fiothiel in her arms, she made a vow. 'I will kill him. I will kill Solomir, he will never do this to you again.' She said and then whispering into Fio's ear, 'I promise you, I promise.'
