Chapter 5: Where there is a will....

A/N: I am so sorry it took so long to update. I hate computers, and if they didn't work half the time they do I wouldn't use them half as much .Thank you to all that have been faithful fans. I will update more regularly.

Ariell jumped as she heard a knock at the door. "Oh, not now," She mumbled as she replaced the knife in the drawer. She ran over to the door and came face to face with Gandalf.

Ariell gasp, "Mithrandir I-."

"There is no need to try and dismiss me," he interupted. "I know all too well what you are going to do and I have come to stop you."

Ariell's eyes grew wide in shock, and she stumble over her words. "Uh- but- I-"

"Cutting you hair, dressing as a man, going with them to battle," He sighed. "Did you believe you would make it? No I think not. Now stay here. Faramir wouldn't have you watching the march out."

Ariell thought to protest but decided against it, and nodded in reply.

"Good. Now I must try and stop this madness," He said as he turned to leave.

She closed the door and went to her bed she threw herself down sobbing. How could she do anything but worry. She felt so alone, and cold. What would she do if she couldn't ever feel his arms around her again. She wished so much that she could still be lying beside him. She wanted to wake up next to him for the rest of her life. What if anything happened to him? She felt a stab of pain every time she thought about it.

All she could do was cry and let sleep overtake her again.

Faramir stood in the armory amongst all the hustle and bustle of the men preparing to ride out. All he could think of was her. He remembered how beautiful she looked asleep. He knew he must make it through this. He would do his father's biding, even if it was folly.

Ariell was the first person that had completely belonged to him. His father never loved him, and his brother was torn between his love for there father and for Faramir. Ariell though loved him. He was all she had and he loved her with everything he was.

"Captain Faramir, it's time."

There you are. I know it was short but I will make the next one very long to make up for it. Don't forget to review. Thanks.
