Chapter 4

" Oh I'm so sorry my dear Frodo!" Arwen said as she picked up the small hobbit from the ground. Arwen had been really upset with what Stone Rider had said that she didn't see the small hobbit walking towards here. She hit him and he fell over.

" It's ok." Frodo said as he dusted himself off. He looked at Arwen expecting to find those beautiful brown eyes looking at him. But instead all he saw were dark round puddles.

" What's wrong?" Frodo asked concerned for his elf friend.

" Nothing Frodo, I'm just tired." Arwen said trying to hide the truth from the young hobbit.

Frodo nodded his head, said his good bye and headed off.

" That was close." Arwen whispered to herself.

She didn't want people to know about how Stone Rider bothered her. If Aragorn found out he'd cause a great battle just to kill him, and she didn't the peace around Gondor to be broken. She walked to the entrance of the Great Hall. She grabbed the golden handle and turned it. All of a sudden a hand grabbed her mouth. Arwen's eyes went wide with fright and her break caught in her throat.

" Hey my love." Arwen's eyes closed when she recognized Aragorn's voice.

" Geeze Aragorn you scared me!" Arwen cried.

" Sorry Arwen." Aragorn said as he kissed her on her soft lips

" Its ok but don't do it again!" She said sternly.

" Or what?" Aragorn said without letting a smile escape from his lips.

" Or, or, or.... I will lock you up in a dungeon!" Arwen said.

" Really and how would you do that my love since you can't be away from me for more than an hour?" He asked.

" Umm.." Arwen hadn't thought about that yet.

" That's what I thought! The kind wins again!" Aragorn said as he smiled.

" You just wait King of Gondor; the Queen will strike back!" She said as she chuckled. Aragorn then laughed and gave Arwen a kiss.

" We better get going my father is probably wondering where I am." Arwen said as she took his and led him into the Great Hall.

Aragorn had been right. The servants had cleaned up last night and now the Great Hall looked like a sparkling bright crystal. Three long golden tables were stretched along the room, and the tables were filled with a lot of guests who were waiting for their breakfast. Arwen spotted her father sitting on a silver chair at the back of the room.

" Good morning." Lord Elrond said as he gave Arwen a quick kiss and gave Aragorn a nod.

" Good morning father." Arwen said as she sat down beside him.

Soon afterwards conversations started to brew and the King and Queen of Gondor found them indulged in a huge conversation with the guests. Then their huge breakfast came and the guests started to quiet down and enjoy their meal. Aargorn and Arwen began to eat while talking amongst their selves. Arwen looked up to the sea of people but she froze when she saw Stone Rider looking directly at her.

" Arwen...Arwen. Arwen!" Aragorn said trying to get his wife's attention.

Finally Arwen heard him

" Yes, sorry Aragorn what is it?" she asked.

" Nothing important, are you ok Arwen you look frightened." Aragorn asked very concerned for Arwen.

" Don't worry Aragorn I'm fine." Arwen replied as she kissed him.

" Ok my love." Aragron said trying to ease his troubled mind for he knew something was bothering Arwen.

The King and Queen when on with their breakfast. When they were done, they said goodbye to Lord Elrond and headed out of the hall. While they walked out, Arwen made sure not to let her glaze fall on Stone Riders. Once they got out of the hall she stopped Aragorn.

" Can we go for a walk Aragorn?" She asked.

" Sounds like a good idea, lets go!" He said as he grabbed her hand and led her out the door.

" That's a good idea!" A deep voice said as the door closed. Stone Rider stepped away from the wall and chuckled.

" Now my plan can really work." Stone Rider said as he opened the door and headed outside. He needed to tell his army that the time was now right. With Aragorn and Arwen out of the way, his army of men would invade the city of Gondor. Then when Aragorn and Arwen came back, he would kill Aragorn and kidnap Arwen. There was no way his plan could fail.

Stone Rider walked to one of the golden torches near the Castle's gate. He took a black bag from his front pocket and dumped the contents into the blazing torch. All of a sudden there was an orange and black cloud of fire flying through the air. Stone Rider knew his army of men would be on their way ready to attack Gondor. Stone Rider laughed, as he knew Gondor would fall in pieces in no time.
