Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Eomer moaned as he returned again to the daylight. He was laying on
his bed and he did not remember getting there.As he looked around he
was met by a sea of worried faces. Eowyn seeing that he was finally
awake squealed and alerted the others who were standing in the corner
of the room talking.

Theoden rushed to his side at once and pulled the boy into his arms
careful of his bandaged head. "Eomer how do you feel? Does it hurt
much child?"

Eomer wanted to say yes he wanted to just lay there in the comfort of
his uncle's arms but he knew they would not allow him to continue if
he did, so he put on his bravest face and looked pleadingly to
Theodred for help.

Theodred looked at him with sympathetic eyes but he too wanted Eomer
safe and unharmed and just this once he sided with his father. "Eomer
will you not stop now you have proved yourself worthy. No one will
think less of you for not going on."

Eomer teared up did they not understand he had to do it. He had to
prove his worth to his uncle. Prove he was not just a boy, he was a
man. He shook his head and looked up at them all. "I am sorry but I
have to continue. I must be a Rohirrim. It is what I want it is what
I have dreamed of. Do not pull me now that I am so close." He would
not tell them all the reasons behind his words. He didn't know if
Theoden could really accept him as his son so he tried each and every
day to make him proud and to be the best he could. He wanted more
than anything to be a Rohirrim to show his uncle he was strong,
courageous and would not disappoint him for any reason especially by
being weak and quitting.

Theoden went to speak but he was cut off by Eowyn. "Eomer I don't
wanna see you hurt anymore" she wailed and fell on the bed beside her
brother.

"I will not be hurt little one and when I am done I will show you how
a Rohirrim holds a sword and we will ride to the edge of the forest
and have that picnic we have been planning."

Theoden pulled Eowyn from her brother and sat down beside him and
pulled him close. He was not good with words; he never had been but
his heart went out to Eomer. "Please won't you just stay here in bed
and heal. I will not think less of you. You have proven yourself to
me. You need not go any further."

Eomer held back the tears as he firmly shook his head no. "I must do
this. Can you understand?"

Theoden did not understand at all but he knew he could not sway the
boys mind. He got up and rumpled his hair and ushered everyone from
the room so he could get some rest. Before he left he turned and took
one last look at Eomer and swiftly left before Eomer could see the
tear which crept from his eye. Once in the hallway he turned to
Theodred.

"If he so much as looks as if he can not make it tomorrow I will not
let him compete no matter the arguement." he said turning to Theodred
who nodded in agreement.

After his father had left he looked into his brother's room and saw
he had fell fast asleep but the tears on his face he could not hide.
He sighed and crepy softly to the bed and wiped them away and placed
a kiss upon the child's head. "Sleep well little one." he said as he
pulled the covers over him and left the room.

Eomer tossed and turned in his sleep each time seeing his uncle's
face staring at him telling him to leave that he was a failure.
Eomer awoke with a start, sweat running down his back. He knew it was
a dream that his uncle was not cruel or that he would never say such
things but he did not think he really loved him like a son. Eomer
laid back down and tried to sleep again knowing tomorrow would come
soon enough and his body already told him he would regret the task.

sorry so short until next time!
