Chapter Eight: Something to Remember

Two months passed from when Kevaline found her new ability. She had taught Yami about behaving and helped him learn how to hunt. She had also continued her lessons and had gone on border patrol. Yami had learned his way around the castle, and after hours of arguments, Kevaline had finally agreed to wear a dress for the wedding.

Kevaline was quite far in learning elvish. Erecuoli was amazed and told Elrond that she seemed to be a natural for the language. Elrohir was surprised when she excelled at her lessons with him. She had gotten better at calling for aid, now she didn't have to worry about not knowing who was going to come. She would call out the name of who she wanted to come and help.

Yami looked up at Kevaline as they returned from a hunt that Kevaline had taken him on.*Kevaline, you seem a little tense, is everything alright?*

Kevaline smiled down at Yami. He had grown from a little cub to a full- grown wolf. "I am fine my friend. I was just thinking. . ."

*About what?* Yami yawned. He thudded beside Kevaline, ears perked up, listening to the forest around him. *Elrohir will want to know how the hunt went.* "We will tell him about your great hunt." Kevaline smiled down at him.

*I wish to get back soon.* Yami stated, looking around.

Kevaline smiled as she saw the stables come into view, "Yami, we are almost there. There are the stables!"

Yami panted *Good, I was starting to worry that we had taken a wrong turn!*

When they reached the stables, Kevaline came upon three horses standing outside, pawing at the ground impatiently. Kevaline looked around for the three riders, hoping they would be around so she could yell at them. She didn't see anyone. She walked over to the horses, holding her hand out to them, "Shh, I won't hurt you. . ."

*We know you won't Kevaline!* One of them stated.

"Kurick?" Kevaline asked. The horse seemed to nod its head, "Oh, Kurick! This means that Estel has come back?"

*Yes, he has.* Kurick whinnied.

*Kevaline, I am sorry. . .*

"Tulin, you did your best!" Kevaline smiled at the horse, rubbing its nose, "You did your best. That was all I asked from you."

*Thank you Kevaline.* Tulin snorted.

"Who is your friend?" Kevaline giggled as the white horse butted her playfully.

*I am. . .* the horse started.

"What are you doing?"

Kevaline turned to see a tall handsome blond haired elf. He had piercing blue eyes. Kevaline nodded her head, "I was just looking at the horses. No one has put them away."

"That was because Lord Elrond wanted to talk to Aragorn immediately," the elf stated, walking up beside Kevaline, "then the twins found me and wanted to talk to me."

"Nonetheless, you shouldn't leave horses out here like this!" Kevaline glared at the elf.

The elf glared back at her, "You have no right to talk to me that way stable hand. . ."

"Stable hand!" Kevaline yelled, turning to face him, "You think I am a stable hand!"

"I would assume you are since you stand here like you do!" the elf yelled back.

Kevaline growled, walking over to Tulin, "I am not a stable hand! Why don't you go find the twins and ask them who I am!" She patted Tulin's nose, "I am sorry my friend, I didn't want to scare you."

At that moment, Estel, Elladan, Elrohir, and Elrond all came walking down to the stables. They heard yelling, "Why don't you just tell me who you are!"

"I don't want to! You thought I was a stable hand!"

Elrohir looked at Elladan, "We have some trouble!"

When they all made it to the stables, they saw Kevaline and Yami glaring at the elf. Elrohir sighed and shook his head as he walked over to Kevaline, "Don't do this. . ."

"Elrohir, he thought I was just a stable hand!" Kevaline yelled.

"Kevaline, will you please settle?" Elladan asked.

The elf looked at Kevaline, "Kevaline?"

Kevaline turned away from the elf, "That is who I am! Now leave me alone!"

Estel walked over to the elf, "Kevaline, I would like you to meet Prince Legolas of Mirkwood. . ."

Kevaline spun around on her heel, not believing what she had just heard, "This is Legolas?" She looked from Legolas to Elrohir and back, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You seemed intent on yelling at me!" Legolas chuckled.

Kevaline glared at him, "Oh, yeah, laugh, that will make everything better!" She then whistled, "Yami let's go!"

Yami padded over to her and stared intently at Legolas *I don't know Kevaline, he seems safe.*

"I don't care Yami, I just want to get away from him!" Kevaline yelled, turning on her heel. She started to walk away, "Maybe Glorfindel will want to talk to me."

Yami barked *I'm sorry, she doesn't always act like this.*

Kevaline froze where she was, "Yami, stop it!"

Legolas smiled, "Well, it seems she doesn't like me. . ." He watched as Kevaline continued walking away with Yami following her.

"That isn't it," Elrohir sighed, "It's just that she has dreaded this day for the past two months."

"That was a wolf with her," Legolas stated.

"Yes, that is Yami," Elrohir chuckled, "As we told you before hand, she can talk with certain animals."

"So she is the one you are going to marry?" Legolas chuckled.

Elrohir smiled, "Yes, she is. She is the only one for me."

Elrond looked at Legolas, "I'm sorry for Kevaline, she is like that to people when animals is involved."

"We did leave the horses," Legolas stated, smiling.

Kevaline sighed, walking through the halls. She walked to Elrond's study, Yami at her side. As she entered it, she automatically went over to a wall and grabbed a thick book. She then turned to walk out but stopped as she saw Andrew. She smiled, "Andrew, so good to see you today!"

Andrew walked over to the two, and scratched Yami behind his ear, "Yeah, it is. I was just coming to see Elrond, but it seems he isn't here."

"Elrond is out by the stables with the twins and Estel." Kevaline sighed, not telling him that Legolas was with them. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go back to my room." Andrew nodded and let her go.

Kevaline smiled as she walked down the hall to her room. On entering her room, she closed the door. Yami hopped up on her bed and yawned *I'm going to take a rest. Wake me when it's time for dinner.*

"Whatever you say." Kevaline replied, sitting down in her chair at her desk and opening the book to read it.

Two hours later, there was a knock on her door. She ignored it, knowing that the person would go away if she didn't answer it. The person continued to knock on the door, causing Kevaline to growl in annoyance. She stood up and opened the door, still reading her book, "Yes?"

"Kevaline. . ."

Kevaline automatically dropped the book, knowing the voice, "Elrohir, what is wrong? You sound angry."

Elrohir walked into the room, closing the door. He then grabbed Kevaline in a hug, kissing her neck. He paused to walk over to the bed, "Yami, get off." Yami opened one eye and then leapt off the bed.

"Elrohir. . ." Kevaline sighed. She let him lay her down on the bed, "What is wrong?"

"I love you," Elrohir smiled, kissing her again. He saw the confusion in her eyes. "Legolas needs to talk to you. . ."

"I am not talking to him!" Kevaline growled.

Elrohir kissed her again, smiling as he ended. He pinned her to the bed, "Kevaline please talk to him."

Kevaline shook her head, "I refuse to talk to. . ."

Elrohir put his hand over her mouth, "Kevaline. . ."

Kevaline smiled underneath his hand. She then grabbed him around the waist and rolled so that now she was on top of him. He took his hand from her mouth, and she winked, "Elrohir, is this your way of making me do what you want me to?" He smiled and nodded. Kevaline laughed, "Well, I'm sorry, but it isn't working!" His eyes took on a pleading tone, and Kevaline moaned, "Please not the eyes!"

"Kevaline. . ." Elrohir whined.

"I hate it when you do that!" Kevaline sighed, letting him up, "Fine, I'll talk to him!"

Elrohir smiled, "Thank you." He nodded, "He is in the room right across the hall from you." He stood and walked to the door, "I'll see you at dinner."

Kevaline moaned as he closed the door, "Why does he taunt me so?"

*He loves how you taunt him back.* Yami yawned. *I think you should go talk to that elf now.*

Kevaline sighed and walked to her door, "Fine, I guess I will!" She walked over to the other side of the hall and knocked on the door.

Legolas answered it, "Yes. . ." He stopped as he saw it was Kevaline. He smiled, "I guess Elrohir has persuaded you."

Kevaline looked at the floor, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Legolas showed her into his room, "It's about Adam. . ."

"What?" Kevaline asked, looking Legolas in the eyes.

"Adam told me something before he passed on." Legolas stated, his eyes darkening, "It puzzled me, but he told me to deliver this message to you." He took a deep breath, "The wolves will howl, and the stallions race, but soon they will disappear without a trace. A life was taken as you see, but never far will he be. The deer will graze and soon depart, so you will soon be in the dark. The nine will travel with journey on hand, but not without you to help command. They will need your skill to get them through, through journey, peril, and fear too. My heart shall always be with you, through even the hardest of times."

Kevaline took a step back towards the door, "Oh, Adam!" She held her tears at bay, "Why did he tell you this?"

Legolas lowered his head, "He said I was the only person he would tell it to. I was the only person that would be able to tell you what he said and you not cry your heart out for him."

Kevaline let one tear fall down her face, "He's gone! That little sneak! He knew I wouldn't cry my heart out in front of you so he decided to tell you!"

"I am sorry about your friend. . ." Legolas sighed. He looked into Kevaline's eyes, "He fought bravely to save Aragorn's life."

Kevaline put her hand in front of her, "I know this will come in handy someday. . ." She smiled at him, "Legolas, I wish to be friends with you. I will totally forget the stable hand thing if you will forget how I acted today."

"Well, I was going to try for friendship, but you beat me to it!" Legolas laughed as he took her hand.

Kevaline nodded, "Good, now tell me everything Adam muttered to you before he died." She walked over to a chair and sat down on it, intent on hearing everything, "Let's go!"

Legolas told everything, glad that Kevaline wasn't angry with him. After two hours of talking, both finally decided it was time for dinner. Legolas held his arm out for Kevaline, "May I escort you to dinner?"

Kevaline smirked, "If you think that I let myself be escorted, then you are thinking that I am a lady!" She whistled, "Dinner Yami!"

The next moment Yami came rushing out of their room and pounced at Kevaline. Kevaline laughed and took a step to the side, causing Yami to land on Legolas. *That was mean! I almost had you too!*

"Yami, you'll never be able to catch me, but I see that you caught our prince!" Kevaline laughed.

Yami licked Legolas's face *I like him, Kevaline. His soul is a calm one!*

"Kevaline!" Legolas yelled, trying to get Yami off him.

Kevaline smiled, "Yami, get off him!" Yami obeyed her, coming to stand over by her. "I'm sorry Legolas, Yami always tries to pounce on me." She helped him off the ground, "It seems that Yami has taken a liking to you. I am now glad we have started a friendship!" She then started to walk to the dinning room, "Come on, they will start dinner without us."

On entering the dinning hall, Kevaline laughed as a yell from some of the warriors caught her ears. They were acknowledging her presence as they had for the past two months. She nodded to them, "It seems you always look for me!"

Keehal chuckled, "Why wouldn't we? We have to keep an eye on the one that is going to steal Elrohir from us. . ."

"I will not steal him from you, he will be even more respectful after we are married, I will make sure of it!" Kevaline smiled as she walked to her seat.

Elrohir greeted her with a kiss, "I see you are in a better mood." He watched as Legolas took his seat, "So what did he have to tell you?"

Kevaline caressed Elrohir's left cheek, "An old saying that Adam always told me. It has a deep meaning to it. He made it up himself just for me." She smiled as Legolas looked over at her, "We have agreed that we are to be friends."

Elrohir sighed, "Melamin. . ." (My love.)

Kevaline put her hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Just wait. We only have a couple more days until we are wed."

Elrohir smiled at her, "I think today would be a good day to cause some trouble. . ."

Kevaline's face lit up in excitement, "Really!" When Elrohir nodded, Kevaline couldn't hide her mirth, "You haven't played a prank in the longest time. Elladan will love this. . ."

"Yes, so will Legolas and Andrew. This will be a great one!" Elrohir chuckled.

"Hey Kevaline. . ." Kevaline turned to be looking at Elladan and Andrew.

"Uma?" Kevaline asked, looking at their faces. (Yes?)

"Yami seems to have wandered off," Andrew laughed.

Kevaline desperately looked around for her friend. She couldn't see him. She growled and closed her eyes, reaching out with her mind, *Yami, where are you? I need to talk to you!*

*Kevaline! What is wrong?* Yami's voice was heard in her mind.

*Where are you?* Kevaline growled.

*I am only sitting with Legolas! I am laying behind his chair!* Yami panted.

Kevaline opened her eyes, looking over to Legolas. She saw Yami laying behind him and sighed. She then turned her attention back to Elladan and Andrew, "That was dirty!"

Elladan shrugged, "We only did as we were told. Yami was told to also go with Legolas."

Kevaline turned to Elrond who was smiling at her. He nodded, "I see you are getting better with your powers."

"That wasn't fair! I didn't know it was a test!" Kevaline stated, trying to hide her smile.

"We only learned how to surprise you from yourself Kevaline," Elrond chuckled.

Kevaline giggled, "It seems that I have changed all of you." She looked into Elrohir's eyes to see love reflecting back at her. She smiled, "Elrohir, I suggest that we should go to the archery range. I am getting a little rusty because of all the preparations we have had to do for the wedding."

Elrohir chuckled, "Those preparations have almost ended. Soon we will be married and we won't have to worry about all this. . ."

Kevaline smiled, "You are just tired of everyone walking in on our attempts." She stuck her tongue out at him, "If I remember correctly, Keehal was the last to walk in on us, and you almost gutted him for it!" She grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, "I love you. I can not stop saying it!"

Elrohir kissed her cheek, to the amusement of everyone in the dinning hall, "I return that love."

*Kevaline, I need to talk to you.* A voice rang through her head.

Kevaline sighed, making Elrohir smile, "I'm sorry, my love, Caldin needs to talk to me." She reached out with her mind *What is it Caldin?*

*Three elves have entered the lands of Rivendell. I just saw them.*

Kevaline moaned. Elrohir smiled, "What is wrong?"

"Three elves were seen entering Rivendell's lands. Caldin saw them." Kevaline put her face in her hands, "I am never going to get any peace in my life!"

Elrohir stood with her, patting her hand, "Why don't you just go and rest. I will take care of the visitors." As she started to object, Elrohir raised his hand, "You were up half the night last night worrying about your hunt today. You need rest!" He led her back to her room, and set her down on her bed, "Kevaline, you are going to run yourself ragged like you did when we went to Lothlorien!"

Kevaline started to whine like a little kid, a habit she had started a month ago, "But Elrohir! I want to see who the elves are!"

"You'll see them after you get some rest!" Elrohir stated, pulling the covers over her lying form, "Rest well." He waited for her to fall asleep and then turned and walked out of the room.

Reaching the main hall, he smiled. Standing before him was Haldir, Rumil, and Orophin. Haldir stared at him, "Where is my daughter?"

Elrohir couldn't help but chuckle, "She is sleeping. She was very tired."

"Are you ready?" Rumil asked him, putting his hand on his shoulder, "Is Kevaline ready?"

Elrohir smiled, "She is afraid, but other than that we are ready."

Kevaline rolled in her sleep, a dream nagging at her mind. . . ~~Dream~~

Kevaline sat in a chair, tears running down her face. Emotions filled her: fear, doubt, happiness. She didn't know what to do. She looked down at herself and noticed that she was wearing her wedding dress. As she felt a hand on her shoulder, she heard a familiar voice, "Hey Kev. . ."

Kevaline looked up to meet the eyes of Adam, "Adam, what are you doing here? You are dead!"

"My message!" Adam stated, "I told you that I would never be far from you!" He caressed her cheek, "My little sister, that's what you were to me!" He hugged her strong, "I will always be with you! I am like your guardian angel now!" He took a step away from her, "You look beautiful in that dress. It is a shame that I was not able to be alive when you get to wear it."

Kevaline took Adam's hand in hers, "Adam, I am sorry! I shouldn't have let you go!"

Adam laughed, "I would have gone anyway!" He kneeled down so he was eye level with her, "Kevaline, promise me something!"

"Anything Adam! Anything for you!" Kevaline stated, squeezing his hand in fear that he would leave her again.

"Watch over my sister. I have a feeling that she will show up sometime. Also I want you to go with the fellowship. Make sure they get through the whole thing safe, especially Legolas. He is a dear friend. Those final moments I had were spent in his company. We became friends in a short time. I saw how you two talked today." Adam sighed, "I want you to remember this nickname Kev, remember this and never forget it!" He took a breath, "Kevaline you are the tiger of Imladris. Your powers far exceed what they do now. Keep working at them, you will see what I mean." He laughed, "Tell your uncles that I said 'hi' and tell your father that I am sorry that I didn't fulfill my mission."

Kevaline looked at him, "Adam, what about Andrew?"

Adam lowered his head, "My brother can sometimes go out of hand. I am sorry he tried to kill you, that was my fault. I should have interveigned!" He kissed her hand, "I never thought that your wouldn't fight back! You can be so unpredictable!" He slapped her playfully on the arm, "You had me worried that you would join me! You will make Elrohir very happy. Tell him that I said that if he hurts you in any way, physically or mentally, then I will come and make him wish that he had never laid eyes on you!" He gave Kevaline one last hug, "I'm sorry about Kirin. I see that Yami has grown. I want you to know that Kirin is here with me, watching and waiting for his moment to help you. You have a special gift with animals that get close to your heart. They will become immortal like you. You will have Yami and Clitus until they either die in battle or when you do."

When he started to fade away, Kevaline shook her head, "Adam, don't leave me!"

His voice held a hint of laughter, "I will always be with you tiger of Imladris."

~~End of Dream~~

Kevaline bolted up in the bed, sweating, "Adam!" She sighed as she saw that she was back in her room, "Adam, of all the times to come and see me!" She looked out her window to see darkness. She sat up, "Damn my stupid ways!" She could feel the night air on her face and looked over to the balcony only to see Elrohir standing there with Yami at his side, lying down. Her mind reached out to them both, content on having them there.

Yami closed his eyes and his ears went up *I think she has awoken!*

"You don't know how right you are," Elrohir sighed, turning to face the bed. He walked over to her, "Kevaline. . ."

When he sat down on the bed, Kevaline buried her face in his chest, "Elrohir, I saw Adam!" He wrapped his arms around her, trying to soothe her. She wrapped her arms around him as well, "He wants me to tell you that if you ever hurt me, physically or mentally, then he will come and make you wish that you had never laid eyes on me." She took a deep breath, "Don't worry though, I would protect you."

"I have no doubt in everything you say. . ." Elrohir kissed her cheek, "But how did you just do that?"

"My powers," Kevaline smiled, looking into his eyes, "So, who were the riders?"

Elrohir looked away from her, "They are staying here for a couple weeks. . ."

"Where are they?" Kevaline asked, excitement in her voice.

"They are right down the hall. Actually, they wanted to see you, but I told them that you were sleeping." Elrohir chuckled.

Kevaline stood up and dragged Elrohir out the hall with her, "Let's go, I want to see who these three are!" She stopped at one of the doors and knocked, "Excuse me. . ."

The door opened, "I'm sorry, but I am quite fine right now, just come and get me when my daughter wakes up. . ."

"Father!" Kevaline yelled, letting Elrohir go and hugging Haldir strongly, "I've missed you so much!"

"So have I. . ." Haldir chuckled.

"Brother, don't keep Kevaline from us! We want to see her as well!" Rumil smiled as Haldir let Kevaline go. He grabbed her in a strong hug, "So I guess you are getting married."

"I approve of him Kevaline, so you are safe," Orophin laughed as she ran to give him a hug as well. He patted her on the back, "I am happy for you, but I don't know if I like the fact that I just find out that I have a niece and then she is taken away from me!"

Kevaline smacked him playfully on the arm, "Oh, stop it! I will not be taken away from you!" She laughed at the three, "So I guess you have come for the wedding?"

All three nodded, "Yes, we are family, why wouldn't we come?"

"So Lady Galadriel has given her top march wardens time off?" Kevaline asked slyly.

Orophin ruffled her hair, "Yes, and she is going to be here as well." He answered her questioning look, "We raced ahead of our group so we could come and see you. The lady gave us permission. The rest of the group should be here by nightfall tomorrow."

"Well I will have to thank her personally," Kevaline winked. She laughed, "She seems to want me to be as happy as I can be!"

She smiled, and the four other elves just stared at her. Rumil was the one who broke the silence, "Uh, Kevaline, when has your teeth become like an animals?"

Kevaline looked into the mirror that was stationed in the room. She gasped, "Damn you Adam!" She felt her temper rise and punched the mirror. It shattered at contact, and Kevaline's knuckles bled freely. "Why the Hell did you do this to me?" Her teeth were like that of a tiger, just smaller. She punched the wall, "I never knew you would do this if I agreed to your stupid little nickname!"

"Kevaline?" Elrohir asked, walking to her.

Kevaline held her bleeding hand up to keep him away from her, "No, don't come any closer!" She lowered her head, "When did he get the power to do this?" She shook her head, "Tiger of Imladris, indeed! Ha! Adam, you just wait until I see you again!"

Orophin put a hand on her shoulder, "Kevaline, what is wrong?"

Kevaline didn't look at them, feeling ashamed, "Adam! He told me to remember a nickname that he was going to give me! I was to be the tiger of Imladris!"

Elrohir smiled, "It doesn't matter, Kev, I still love you the way you are!" He put his hand on her other shoulder, "I think your teeth now accent your attitude."

Kevaline looked at him and smiled. Elrohir's eyes got wide, and Kevaline quickly looked away, "See, you can't even look at me without being shocked!"

"No Kevaline!" Elrohir stated, turning her to him, "Your teeth have returned to normal!" He kissed her cheek, "It seems that they change with your attitude."

Kevaline sighed, "You better not be lying, or I will harm you to no extent!"

"As you know Kevaline, elves can not lie." Elrohir smiled at her. He grabbed her in a hug, "Even if they were still there, I would not love you any less. My love would just heighten!"

Kevaline relaxed in his grip, forgetting about her fist, "Oh Elrohir, it really is true love between us!" She dug her face in his shoulder, "You would love me even if I chose to be mortal!"

Elrohir chuckled, "Yes, I would. Even if you were a 'tiger' as you say, I would still love you." He motioned for one of the others to quickly bandage her fist.

Rumil nodded and quickly did as he was told. He then patted Kevaline's back, "Well it seems that your friend Adam had some powers as well!" He then looked up at the ceiling, "I wonder if Andrew has any powers like Adam and you."

Kevaline didn't take her face from Elrohir's shoulder, "I don't know. He probably does but doesn't know of it!" She took a deep breath, "That was something that I didn't expect, but hey, it is Adam! He always was surprising me!" She laughed, remember the time of their senior Prom, "I remember when Prom came around, Adam had already had all the girls except me ask him to the prom," She looked up at Elrohir, "I didn't have anyone to go with, so what does the sneak do? Andrew and him show up at my door on the night of prom, smiling. They escorted me to prom and both were my dates for that night. The only reason they did it was because they said I was their little sister and that I needed watching over."

She nodded to everyone in the room, "I guess I could call it a gift, I mean, he probably has a meaning behind the whole thing." She felt her teeth, "He must have a very good meaning behind it all. He wouldn't simply do this to me for the fun of it, he knows how if won't like it. He only wants me happy."

*Kevaline. . .*

Kevaline rolled her eyes *Yami! This is not the time!*

*But Kevaline, Tobie has returned!* Yami growled.

Kevaline jumped out of Elrohir's grip, running to her room, "I'm sorry, but Tobie has returned!"

Orophin nudged Elrohir, "You were so close too!"

Elrohir shrugged, "I'm used to it now, her animals seem to always find the right time to talk to her or come back from sending something." He smiled, "She has been waiting for Tobie to return for a week, I wonder what has caused such a long wait."

"Whom was she sending something to?" Haldir asked, curiosity pulling at him.

"Tobie was sent to Mithrandir. He was carrying a message from Kevaline about her powers. Kevaline has needed guidance with her powers, father cannot help her anymore. She saw that when she couldn't control the urge of Kirin's battle spirit a couple of weeks ago. She ran wild, actually Kirin did. She almost killed two soldiers. She really hasn't been the same since then." Elrohir sighed, "She is afraid to go near the soldiers, afraid that she won't have any control. She doesn't see that they knew it was an accident! They trust her with their lives."

"Did the two soldiers fight back?" Rumil asked.

Elrohir shook his head, "No, they knew it was not her choice to harm them. They told me that they could see the real Kevaline in the eyes, crying because she had no control."

Kevaline ran to the balcony, smiling as she saw a hawk perched on the railing, "Tobie, you have returned!"

*Yes, and I bring you a message from Gandalf!* the hawk stated, ruffling its feathers.

Kevaline took the message tied to its leg, "Thank you my friend. . ." She paused as she noticed Tobie supported one wing. "Tobie, what happened?"

*It's only a scratch!* Tobie shook his head. *I was attacked by orcs on my way back. They grazed my wing, but I am fine!*

Kevaline picked up Tobie and cradled him to her chest, "I must get you to a healer!"

Tobie seemed to laugh in his own way, *I don't think a healer can heal me. My wing is just grazed, I will be fine!* He lightly bit Kevaline's fingers, *Do not fret! I will be healed in about two days time! I heal quickly because of you!*

Kevaline kissed the hawk's head, "Tobie, you are such a friend! Putting yourself in death situations for me!"

*I know of a certain elf that does the same thing!* Tobie screeched as Kevaline set him down on the back of a chair.

At that moment, Elrohir came rushing in the room, "Kevaline, is he hurt?"

"His wing is just grazed, nothing serious," Kevaline sighed. She then remembered the message. She opened it and read it aloud. "Kevaline, I have read your message of urgency that you sent me, and I wish to help you. I will appear in Rivendell two days after you receive this letter. After that, we will discuss your powers and how I can help you. Gandalf."

Elrohir pet Tobie, "Well, there is your answer, all hope is not lost. I will also guarantee that grandmother will help you."

Kevaline smiled at Elrohir, "Even when I am down, you always put a smile on my face!" She then looked at Yami, "Well, I think we should go on a hunt. . ."

"It is the middle of the night almost! You don't want to go on a hunt now!" Elrohir stated. He grabbed her as she went to the door, "You will not leave!"

Kevaline smiled at him, her eyes sparkling, "But Elrohir, I want to!"

"No! You know the orcs have been restless the past few weeks!" Elrohir forcefully stated. He pulled her into a hug, "Kevaline, if I lost you, I would surely die. I wouldn't be able to survive without you."

Kevaline returned the hug, "And I wouldn't want that to happen!" She kissed his cheek, "Well, then what am I supposed to do?" She smirked, "I guess I could take a bath and then go to the library." She pulled out of Elrohir's grip, "If you are going to keep me waiting, then I'll just take one without you."

Elrohir walked with her into the bathing room, "I wouldn't dream of making you wait!"

Rumil looked at Haldir, "Brother, she is gifted far beyond what anyone could have imagined!"

Orophin nodded, "I agree, but Kevaline is able to take care of herself. I am glad she is your daughter Haldir, I am glad we are related."

Haldir sighed as he looked at the broken mirror, "I don't know if she realizes her strength. She shattered the mirror and she wasn't even hitting it hard."

"She does have your attitude brother," Rumil stated, "I don't know about the strength, but I know that she is strong."

Orophin smiled, "I know that I wouldn't want to make her angry in a fight!" He then shivered, "Her eyes seem to have a fire in them when she is angry, one that isn't natural."

"Maybe it has something to do with that 'tiger of Imladris' thing her friend gave her." Rumil shrugged.

"Tell me of this 'tiger of Imladris' that her friend gave her. . ."

All three turned to see Elrond standing in the doorway. Haldir nodded, "Come in and sit down, lord Elrond, I will tell you everything she told us." Elrond complied to the invitation, and Haldir sat down as well. Haldir nodded, "She came to see us, and we were having a nice talk when she seemed to be happy. She smiled to us, and her teeth were like an animal's. She then got very angry and broke the mirror." He motioned to the mirror, "She wasn't even trying to put force behind her punch. Then after she had settled down, her teeth went back to normal." Haldir sighed, "She said Adam gave the nickname the tiger of Imladris to her and that was the reason that she had the teeth."

Elrond nodded, "So Adam was gifted as well, but died before his gift could blossom." He put his chin in his hand, "Interesting. . . So when she has these teeth she gets angry?"

Haldir nodded, "It seems that way." He sighed, "What is it supposed to mean Elrond?"

Elrond shook his head, "I am not quite sure, but I will try with all my heart to figure this out."

Kevaline looked at the shelves of books, Elrohir doing the same. Elrohir ran his hands over the bindings of the books, "What exactly are we looking for?"

"Anything about legends of Imladris!" Kevaline called to him as she searched the shelf she was at. She saw a huge red bound book with elvish script on the spine of the book, "Elrohir, what does this say?"

Elrohir walked over and looked at the book. He smiled, "You won't believe this. . ."

"Try me!" Kevaline urged.

"The legend of the 'tiger of Imladris' during the Last Alliance." Elrohir read, taking the book form its place on the shelf. He opened it up and walked over to a chair, sitting the book down on the table that was in front of him. Kevaline rushed to his side, looking at the pages.

"I can't read all of it, I'm not that good with elvish yet!" Kevaline whined.

Elrohir chuckled, "I'll read it to you. . ." He started to read from the book, not looking up as Kevaline sat on the arm of the chair, " 'the tiger of Imladris was one of the reasons the Last Alliance was formed. This young half Elvin woman was not without courage or strength. Her teeth resembled an animal's, and she rallied the troops when their will to fight was gone. It is said that she changed into a huge feline during the battle, a feline that was white and had black stripes. She fought bravely and saved many lives. The reason she was called the tiger of Imladris was because she was close to. . .'" Elrohir paused, and then continued, " 'she was close to Elrond. They were close friends before the alliance was formed. The mortal men thought it was folly to put her on the lines with them, but she proved them wrong when the battle started. She became a killing machine to all the enemies that got in her way. While she was in her feline form, she saved Elrond from death several times. . ."

"Yes, Elrohir, it is true," Both turned to see Elrond standing there, "She did save my life and was a close friend to me."

"What happened to her?" Kevaline asked.

"When Isildur failed to destroy the ring, she tried to force him. She had been injured trying to protect me in the battle, and he overpowered her. She transformed back from a tiger into her female look to comfort me, telling me that I hadn't failed it was Isildur that had. She ended up putting me on her back and then transforming back into her tiger form. She then carried me down the mountain. I hadn't noticed that she bled badly from her injuries from the battle, and when we got to the bottom I then did. I then tried to save her, but she had lost too much blood. She promised me that she would not leave me entirely, and she hadn't until about eighteen years ago. She told me one thing before she left, it was that she would return in good time, she would be stronger and have more powers." Elrond explained.

Kevaline watched Elrond, somehow she could see memories of the whole incident. She shook her head, "It was just some name that Adam gave me. . ."

"Yes, but he did it for a reason," Elrond stated, "Kevaline. . ."

"What was that reason Elrond? Please tell me!" Kevaline pleaded, memories she had never known about coming to her. Memories of men and elves fight side by side against orcs.

"You should already know. . . Aurora," Elrond stated softly. For the first time since he had seen Kevaline, he could see his old friend in her. He could see her spirit.

Something in the back of Kevaline's mind seemed to break. She smiled, knowing that Elrond was right. She was Aurora reborn, but still Kevaline. "I just want to tell you that you were a little heavy when I brought you down from that mountain!"

Elrond laughed, "Yes, I guess I was!"

Kevaline looked at Elrohir's shocked face, "I am still me Elrohir, I just remember my past life!"

Elrohir wasn't sure of this whole thing, "So Aurora was your friend back then father?" He didn't know what to make of this whole thing. Kevaline was his father's friend from the Last Alliance reborn. He sighed, "I am a little confused."

Kevaline grabbed his hand, "Don't worry, so am I. Memories of my past life have all been unleashed, and it isn't just only some, it is a whole lot! I can see the battle of the Last Alliance like I am in it now!" She paused, "Hey, wait a minute!" She looked at Elrond, "Why is it everybody towers over me in some of the memories?"

Elrond nodded, "You were in your tiger form Aurora. . . I mean Kevaline. . . I mean. . ."

Kevaline laughed, "I am now Kevaline, Aurora isn't my name anymore, that was my old name."

Elrond nodded, "Yes, you are right, Kevaline. Now I can understand what Adam's power was. . ." He smiled, "His power was to awaken the old self of people who had forgotten their past lives."

Kevaline blinked, "Elrond, I still can't control the power of my transformation. . ."

"You are not supposed to right now. Your old life has just resurfaced, your new life has set a course, both must agree before you have control of your powers." Elrond chuckled.

"Oh, I am sorry. . ." Everyone turned to see Legolas standing there.

Kevaline laughed, "Don't be, come on in! We can all have a party!" She nodded to a chair, "Sit down. . ." She laughed as he did, "You look a lot like your father!"

"How do you know my father?" Legolas asked surprised.

"From the Last Alliance. . ." Kevaline started. She held her hand up to stop Legolas from talking, "My past life. My name was Aurora. . ."

"The tiger of Imladris?" Legolas stated wide-eyed.

Kevaline laughed, "So I guess your father has told you about the couple of times he crossed my path. . ."

"He tells stories of you all the time. He says that he owes you his life for you saved him ten times in that battle!" Legolas smiled.

Kevaline shrugged, "Yeah, well, I did what my heart told me to. I am glad I did, or you wouldn't be here today, and I'm glad I saved Elrond's life, because then my love wouldn't be here today!" She kissed Elrohir's forehead, "Yes, I am very glad for everything I did back then. . . Except for maybe not forcing Isildur to destroy the ring!" She laughed, "But there were some fun times, like that time I scared Gil-Galad and he scream like a girl!" Kevaline fell off the chair, and started rolling on the floor, "Oh, he was so mad at me when I said I'd tell everyone!" She stopped her rolling and looked Elrond in the eyes, "Maybe I should tell them the tale about you and our horses. . ."

Elrond eyes went wide, "NO! Don't do that! It is good to have you back, but I don't think this is a time to tell them. . ."

Elrohir was now interested because of the way his father had acted, "Well, I want to know!"

Kevaline wiped the hair out of Elrohir's face, smiling, "Your father was a bit like you when he was younger, it was fun to be his friend." She took a breath, "I have no choice, 'Rond. . ." She winked at him, "Well, it all started when I dismounted my horse. . . ironically, his name was Clitus. . ." Kevaline looked over at Elrond, "Anyway, I dismounted Clitus and walked over to a nearby stream. Clitus was exactly how he is now. 'Rond dismounted as well and came over beside me to refill our water supply. What happen then was all a flash, but I remember it clearly. 'Rond's horse bit Clitus, and Clitus got angry. He then started bucking, trying to kick 'Rond's horse. When the two of us saw this, we ran to stop the two, but 'Rond wasn't as fast as I was when we got to the two horses." She started laughing, "'Rond went to grab his horse's reigns, but his horse was angry with how Clitus was acting and turned to bit him. 'Rond fell backwards, afraid that he would get bitten. Instead of landing on the ground as he thought he would, he landed in the stream, soaking himself to the bone!" She smiled, "I remember that he also hit his head off a rock at the bottom of the stream, causing him to black out!"

Elrond sighed, "Kevaline. . ." He then smiled, "But there was the time when we had just become friends. You didn't know how to ride a horse, but you were willing to try. I thought it would be fun how you would manage with Clitus. When Clitus was saddled you thought nothing of his skitterish acts and tried to mount him. After about ten minutes, you finally mounted him, but you only lasted half that time on his back as he started to buck. I remember him flinging you off his back and you getting stuck up in a tree!"

"Oh, ha ha! I'm laughing 'Rond, I'm really laughing." Kevaline rolled her eyes, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

Elrohir couldn't stop laughing, "You might not be, but I am! It is great about hearing all of this!"

Elrond chuckled, "Well I am glad you took this well enough."

Kevaline growled a little, "Elrohir, it isn't that funny!"

Elrond continued to chuckle, "Well, after all these years, I still think it is funny!"

Kevaline held up her hands in defeat, "Alright, I'll admit that getting stuck up in that tree was a little funny, but when I was flung off of Clitus's back, I was just scared!"

"But you got over it and conquered Clitus. He was a little surprised that you kept trying to ride him, and you had no clue about it! You just thought he was shy, not that he hated peopling trying to ride him." Elrond smiled, settling his chuckling down.

"What has gotten you all in such a good mood?"

Kevaline looked up to see Glorfindel. She smiled wickedly, "Oh, hey Glor', how's it going?"

Glorfindel glared at her, "When have you ever called me anything other than Glorfindel?"

Kevaline burst out laughing, "Look really close at me, then you'll get your answer Glor'!"

He did as he was told, backing up a few steps as he saw Aurora's spirit, "But. . ."

"Glor' you don't know how good it is to be back with you and 'Rond!" Kevaline giggled.

"Aurora?" Glorfindel asked.

"Yes and no," Kevaline smiled, "I am Aurora reborn." She winked at him, "I was just telling Legolas and Elrohir about when 'Rond fell into the stream from his horse trying to attack him!"

Glorfindel looked at Elrond who smiled, "And I just finished telling them about her incident with Clitus and the tree. . ."

"Which one?" Glorfindel asked.

"When Clitus flung her up in the tree and she got stuck up in it," Elrond replied.

"So you didn't tell them about the one with Aurora riding Clitus and not paying attention to her surrounding and the next minute we look back just in time to see Aurora's head smack into a low branch! I even remember the string of swear words you muttered when we laughed at you. . ." Glorfindel asked.

"I remember that same night that I got you back by drenching you in the lake that we were staying at. It was so funny! You were so tired when you went to sleep that you didn't even wake up when I threw you into the lake!" Kevaline stated, staring intently at Glorfindel, "I remember you surfacing and then screaming like a little girl!" She started laughing again, "Oh Glor' those were the best of times! Then the war came, and then I died at the end." She held up her hand to silence Glorfindel, "I didn't want to be healed! I knew that it was my time! I knew that I would come back." She thought for a moment, "That was why the Valar gave me the choice of being mortal of immortal! Because of my role I played in the war. I was given a gift for it!"

"Celeborn would be very happy to see you. . ." Elrond chuckled.

"So he has forgiven me for my prank I played on him during the war to loosen him up?" Kevaline asked.

Elrond smiled, "He felt horrible for the way that he acted. He knew you were doing it to relax him. He told me that if he would have talked to you before you died, he would have forgiven you a thousand times if it would have made you smile."

"What happened?" Elrohir asked.

"Well, everyone was tense, so I thought I would lighten the mood. I played pranks on everyone so they would get their mind off of the war for a little while, but Celeborn was the one exception. While we were out scouting one day, he almost broke down he was so tense. That was when I decide to relax him. . ."

At that moment Estel walked into the room with Andrew, "Kev. . ."

"Ah, just in time for my story! Come in!" Kevaline laughed. They did as they were told, and sat down. She then went back to her story, "Now where was I. . . Oh yeah, I transformed into my tiger form and shrunk into the shadows while he was looking away. When he turned to talk to me, he couldn't see me. He started to panic and run around. Then I knew for certain that I needed to relax him. At the last second, as he came running by the shadows that I was in, I lunged at him, landing on him and causing him to fall to the ground." She paused, trying to keep her laughter under control, "Well, the next thing I know is that poor Cele' is on the verge of tears. I couldn't believe it! No one I had played a trick on had cried. He said his reason for crying was that he thought that I had gotten capture, but I knew better. He was crying because I scared him so badly!" Kevaline couldn't help but laugh now. The laughter came hard and left her rolling on the floor, "After that incident, he appeared to be angry with me. I don't know why he was, I did it to everyone else."

"What are you talking about Kevaline?" Estel asked, confused.

Elrond smiled, "Kevaline is my old friend Aurora reborn."

Kevaline shrugged, "Of course, I looked about the same back then. I mean, my body was at the same stages as it was back then, so I haven't aged or lost any years, other than the fact that I was about two thousand back then." She finally regained her senses, "So 'Rond, Glor' what has happened since I was gone, except for the time I have been here?"

"Nothing much has happened since then my friend," Elrond smiled as she called him the nickname that she had devised up for him.

"As Elrond said, nothing much has happened," Glorfindel shrugged, resisting the urge to laugh at having his old friend back.

Kevaline nodded, "Right, just as I thought, life was boring without me!" She laughed as she saw Elladan's face pop into the room, "Come on in you little sneak!"

Elladan smiled as he walked in, "I brought some friends. . ." He nodded as Haldir, Rumil, and Orophin walked in with him.

"Yeah, that's right, Cele' is coming here! Wait till he sees me, he won't know what to do. . ." Kevaline smiled.

"Kevaline, Lord Celeborn he has already seen you, hasn't he?" Rumil asked.

"Yes, but he hasn't seen his friend that he has missed since the Last Alliance. . ." Kevlaine laughed.

"Who would that friend be?" Orophin asked, confused.

"My old self, Aurora. How much you want to bet that he will be on the verge of tears again?" She winked at Elrond, "What do ya say 'Rond? You want to make a bet?" She turned to Glorfindel, "And you Glor'? Do you want to make a bet?"

"The last time I did a bet with you I lost," Glorfindel sighed.

Elrond nodded, "Yes, that is true. You always win the bets, we still haven't figured it out."

Kevaline laughed, "Well, it seems you two have grown up! You two have aged! I don't know about this! You two might cramp my style these days!"

Glorfindel glared at her, "We aren't old!"

"Come on Glor' it's been a long time. I haven't aged a day!" Kevaline smiled at him. She put her finger on his nose, "I'm going to have to hang out with Elladan and Elrohir more than I do with you two!"

Glorfindel held his chest, as if in pain, "Oh, that hurt! Well then, I'm going to call you by your nickname! What do you say to that Roar'?"

"How sweet!" Kevaline smiled. She gave him a light hug, "I'm glad you still remembered it!"

"How could I forget it?" Glorfindel laughed.

"So let me get this straight. . ." Orophin stated, "Kevaline is Aurora reborn.?" Kevaline nodded, and Orophin smiled, "Well, isn't this a surprise?"

"I think it is!" Haldir smiled, not fazed one bit by the comment about his daughter being the tiger of Imladris reborn. He laughed, "It is nice to know about this! It is good to know!"

"You aren't fazed one bit?" Kevaline asked.

"No," Haldir smiled, "I sort of figured something was special with you."

Kevaline smiled, "Well, it seems that I don't surprise as many as I thought I would." She looked at Elrond, "Hey 'Rond, it seems everybody has been filled in on this one."

Glorfindel smiled, "Now I know why you kept getting stronger after every fight that you fought in Kevaline, it was because of your past life."

Kevaline stuck her tongue out at him, "So!" She then smiled, "Well, I think everyone should get some rest, it is the middle of the night after all. I don't want everyone to sleep in late tomorrow!" With that said, she stood, grabbed Elrohir's hand, and dragged him out with her.

Elrond nodded, "I think Kevaline is right, we should get some rest."

Elrohir looked at Kevaline, "Kev, what is on your mind?"

Kevaline smiled, still pulling him down the hall, "I was just thinking, that is all." When he gave her a stern gaze, she sighed, "I was just thinking about the past life that has been reveled to me." She stopped at her door, "Well, here is our stop. . ." She pulled him into her room, "Elrohir, what is wrong?"

"Kevaline," Elrohir started, "Are you sure about us getting married? I mean, now that your past life has been reveled I thought that maybe there was someone else that you were. . ."

"Elrohir," Kevaline whined, "I love you!" She then laughed, "I didn't have anyone back then. They all thought that I was too hard to control. In fact, your father was one of my only friends. He thought it was nice to have someone who could force him to do stuff, someone who could make him laugh without even trying."

*Would you two quiet down, I want to get some sleep!* Yami yawned.

"Snag it Yami!" Kevaline growled. She then smiled, "You don't understand love you silly wolf!"

"I don't think we should subject him to such torment!" Elrohir laughed, sprawling out on the bed.

Kevaline jumped on the bed, pinning Elrohir under her, "Whatever you say." She smiled as Elrohir tried to get out from underneath her, "Goodnight Elrohir."

Elrohir rolled his eyes as Kevaline fell asleep, "It's going to be another one of those nights!" He kissed Kevaline's forehead, "Sweet dreams melamin."

Glorfindel smiled at Elrond, "Events are going to get a lot more interesting around here now that Roar' is back."

Elrond nodded, "Yes, I think she is going to liven things up here. We are going to have to keep on our toes, you know how she can get!"

Glorfindel laughed, "Yes, I learned that first hand when she threw me into the lake!"

"I am afraid for Elrohir, you know how Roar' was with love," Elrond sighed.

Kevaline smiled as she woke up, seeing Elrohir underneath her. She couldn't keep her laughter in, "That's the fourth time this month that I have pinned him and then fallen asleep, and each time he doesn't move me, he just falls asleep as well."

She screamed in surprise when Elrohir whipped open his eyes and flipped Kevaline so he was on top, "And that is the fourth time this month that I have pinned you to the bed after you have me." He kissed her fiercely, trying to control himself.

A few minutes later, the two broke away from the kiss, gasping for breath. Kevaline gulped in the air, "Elrohir what is wrong?" She noticed how he fought with himself, "Elrohir are you trying to control yourself again?" Elrohir closed his eyes, and Kevaline started to worry, "Elrohir, are you going to be alright?"

Elrohir nodded, not opening his eyes, "Yes, I will be alright." He opened his eyes to be staring into Kevaline's, "Melamin, do not worry, I will be fine."

Kevaline smiled deviously, "Alright then. . ." She wrapped her arms around Elrohir and pulled his body against hers. She then kissed him again, smiling.

Elrohir pulled away from her, his body trembling from trying to hold back, "Kevaline, please. . ."

"You said you would be alright Elrohir." Kevaline whined. Her eyes twinkled as she knew that Elrohir was fighting himself.

Elrohir kissed her again, not wanting to stop. His mind then came back to its senses, and he pulled away from Kevaline, "I can't. I just can't. Not now, I have to wait!" He then looked at Kevaline, "You weren't like this before, you never really wanted to be this close until after we were married!"

Kevaline's eyes glinted with penned up love, "Elrohir. . ." Her body shook as her control was failing, "I have changed. I have become more. . ."

Elrohir didn't wait for her to finish, He pressed his lips against hers. Kevaline spared no time and opened her lips to give him access to explore her mouth. All at once Elrohir pulled away from Kevaline, "No, this isn't right!"

"Why not?" Kevaline stated, closing her eyes trying to regain control of herself, "Why isn't it right?"

"You are struggling to control yourself just as I am. We have to wait until we are married. That is what you wanted, remember? You made me control my urges for you! You told me to wait!" He sighed, "I am now telling you the same thing!" He pulled out of Kevaline's grip and stood up, "I love you Kevaline, but we have to wait. Now isn't the right time."

Kevaline sighed, "You are right Elrohir, you are right." She stood up as well, looking down at Yami who was watching the whole scene with interest. She frowned, "It's not nice to watch other people!"

Yami shrugged *Oh well, see if I care!* He then stood up *I thought you two were actually going to go the whole way this time!*

Elrohir stared at Yami, "You were going to let us go all the way? You weren't going to stop us?" Yami shook his head, and Elrohir laughed, "We could have actually gone the whole way!"

Kevaline sighed and closed her eyes, "Well, I think that was something that we should keep to ourselves." She rubbed her temples, "I think I'm going to go to the library and relax."

Elrohir stared at her, "Are you alright? You look a little pale."

Kevaline nodded as she walked to the door, "I am fine, I just want to relax in the library." She then smiled at Elrohir, a smile she always reserved for him, "How about after lunch we take a ride to our secluded area?"

Elrohir nodded, "It sounds like a plan. I will meet you in the stables right after lunch." He then watched Kevaline walk out of the room, shaking her head.

Elrohir fell back on the bed, slowing down his racing heart. A few minutes later he heard a familiar voice at the door. It was full of mirth, "It is hard, isn't it?"

Elrohir looked up to see Glorfindel standing in the doorframe, smiling. He sighed, "What are you talking about?"

"Aurora always jumped at the game of love. She couldn't control herself. . ." Glorfindel started, entering the room.

"How would you know this?" Elrohir asked.

Glorfindel closed his eyes as he sat down in a chair, "In Aurora's life she loved a total of two elves. No one else caught her eye."

"And who were these two elves?" Elrohir asked, worry surfacing in his heart.

"Don't judge her now, that was her past, she doesn't feel the same way towards them as she did back then." Glorfindel sighed. He let out a ragged breath, like a weight was on his shoulders, "For a good reason. One of the elves caused her a pain, one that couldn't be healed. The other one loved her but couldn't tell her. She thought he was just being a friend. When she finally told him that she loved him, he turned away from her, too afraid to do anything else. . ."

"Who were these two?" Elrohir asked. Glorfindel shook his head, and Elrohir growled, "Glorfindel, tell me!"

Glorfindel looked Elrohir in the eyes, shocked at his reaction. He got over it and sighed, "I don't know if I should tell you." One look at Elrohir's face made him say the names, "The two elves were me and your father. . ."

"WHAT!" Elrohir yelled, not believing his ears, "But. . ."

Glorfindel explained, "You see, we were friends, but Aurora had loved me from the beginning. I hurt her heart when she told me she loved me. For see, I knew your father loved Aurora, and I didn't want to take her away from him. Then Aurora finally got over the fact that I said I didn't love her back and I just wanted to be her friend. She then started to get feelings for your father. Your father didn't have the courage to tell her that he loved her, and finally when she told him he turned from her, not knowing what to do, not believing what he had heard. It broke her heart even more. There were elves after that that just wanted to break her. After what she had been through, she jumped at the chance, not realizing that they just wanted someone."

"I don't understand. . ." Elrohir confessed. He shook his head, "So father loved Aurora?"

"Yes," Glorfindel nodded, "and then after one incident with another elf, your father got over his fear and told Aurora that he did truly loved her. She couldn't believe it. Those two then started courting each other. . ."

"What was the incident?" Elrohir asked, wanting to know everything.

"We were at a banquet," Glorfindel stated, closing his eyes and remembering the incident just like it had happened yesterday, "Aurora had told us that she wasn't sure about the elf that she was going with at the time. She told us that he could sometimes be forceful and without a care. All of a sudden the elf came over to us and grabbed Aurora by the arm and pulled her with him. We could see the pain in her eyes as he dragged her out of the room. We then decided that he couldn't be trusted with our friend, so we followed them. What happened next made me realize how much Aurora meant to me. I realized that Aurora was like a little sister to me." He took a deep breath, "Aurora was thrown to the ground rather forcefully, and the elf then tried to rape her. . ."

"Who would dare do such a thing?" Elrohir asked in anger.

"We rushed out of our hiding spot and stopped him from doing it. Poor Aurora was terrified as to what was going on. As I reprimanded the elf, she had grabbed onto your father. She would not let him go. Not even when we had gotten back to her room." Glorfindel sighed. He then looked Elrohir in the eyes, "That is why Kevaline has changed. Aurora didn't spare any games with love, she learned the hard way."

Elrohir nodded, "Yes, now I understand." He stood up, "Well, I think I should go talk to father." He nodded to Glorfindel, "Until we see each other again."

Kevaline sighed as she sat in one of the chairs in the library. He mind was spinning at what her and Elrohir had almost done. She closed her eyes and rested the back of her head on her chair. Her past life's memories started to come back to her.

She opened her eyes quickly as she remembered the Last Alliance. About how she had suffered in it. She relaxed as she saw that she was still in the library.

"What is wrong pen neth?" (little one)

Kevaline looked over at the door to see Glorfindel enter. She rolled her eyes, "Glor' now isn't the time!"

"I just talked with Elrohir, Roar'." Glorfindel stated, sitting down beside her, "You had him worried."

Kevaline closed her eyes, "Please, I don't want to talk right now."

"Roar', I know this is tough for you, but don't do this." Glorfindel sternly stated. Kevaline opened her eyes to look into his. He smiled, "You don't have to worry about anything anymore. Elrohir is watching over you very closely. He won't let anyone harm you."

Kevaline rubbed her temples, "Glor', I am glad you and 'Rond were there for me. I don't know what I would have done. You two saved me. . ."

"That is what I do," Glorfindel smiled, "You were like my little sister, I couldn't just let him do anything to harm you." He patted her arm, "You better get something to eat. You look a little pale. . ."

Kevaline sighed, "Elrohir said the same thing." She paused for a moment, "Maybe I'm getting ill. I mean, I don't feel so great. . ."

"Why don't you go to the healers?" Glorfindel asked, knowing exactly what she would say.

"No!" Kevaline yelled, "I will not see a healer!"

"Still the same," Glorfindel chuckled, "Well then, why don't you go see Elrond? He will help you."

Kevaline didn't answer him, she turned her head to the window, gazing out it, "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

"Roar' you don't have to be like this. . ." Glorfindel sighed, ruffling her hair.

She pulled away from him, glaring at him, "What have I told you about my hair!"

"Exact words, 'Don't you dare touch my hair or I will make sure you will not be a male anymore!'" Glorfindel smiled. "Elrohir is worried about you."

Kevaline shot up straight at Elrohir's name, "What is wrong? Is he alright?"

"He is fine. He is just worried about how you are acting." Glorfindel stated, standing up, "I just came to persuade you to go eat something."
