Chapter 13
Rin awoke to an empty bed. She guessed that Eomer had just gotten up earlier to take care of something. Avath lay sleeping at her feet, soft purrs coming from his body. She sat up and took him in her arms; laying back down she began petting him and scratching him behind his ears. The purrs grew louder, " Your just so cute and awesome!" She cooed. Rin was so happy Eomer gave in and let her keep Avath.
She looked down at the black cub, " I really don't think he had a choice." She said then laughed thinking about the look Nefaratoiel had given him when he said no.
"Remind me to thank her." She said to Avath as she set him back down on the bed. Rin got up and went to the vanity. She tried to de-wrinkle her dress but only succeeded in straightening a few folds. " Well I better go back to my room and changed, I can't go around Rivendell like this." She said making her way to the door. She stopped suddenly as it began to open.
Eomer walked in carrying a tray full of fruits and some drinks. "Good Morning, I trust your hungry?" he asked setting the tray down on the nightstand. Her stomach gave him his answer by grumbling loudly, she blushed.
Rin noticed had bathed and changed clothes. 'Wow!' she thought 'He cleans up really well.' She surveyed him. 'Tall, very good build, long golden hair, beautiful brown eyes and he's a Horeslord... *swoon! *
They began to eat when suddenly Avath let out a meow/growl noise, scaring the shit out of Rin. She turned around to find him chasing a butterfly that had made its way into the room.
" Avath! Leave that butterfly alone." Rin said as the butterfly landed on her arm. It sat there a few moments before it took off again and landed on Eomer`s hand. He raised an eyebrow at it then softly petted it. Rin laughed, " Someone's made a new friend!"
Eomer glared at her as the butterfly flew away. He walked over to her and brushed stray hairs from her face. He then traced her jaw line with his finger. Rin shivered. "Lets go eat." He said laughing.
They ate breakfast whole Rin told Eomer of her encounter with the white wizard, Gandalf. " I was told he was traveling to Rivendell but I hadn't known he was here already, nor have I seen him. Did you speak with him?" he asked. She nodded remembering the conversation. " I wont tell you what about, not until I speak with him again." She answered. Eomer nodded, " Well my lady I must leave you. I have to speak with Aragorn, you are going to see Gandalf then?" he asked taking her hand. She nodded " Then I shall see you later Ithildin." He said kissing Rin on the cheek and leaving. She gathered Avath in her arms and headed to her room wearing a grin.
Rin entered the room placing the panther cub on the still made bed. " Well Avath what am I going to wear. I have no clothes." She said to the kitten in wonder. Avath stared at her fir a moment before turning his attention to trying to capture his tail. Rin rolled her eyes. "Some help you are fur ball." Rin mumbled. Suddenly a knock came to the door. Arwen walked in with a maid following, " Good morning Rin! I brought you some clothes and also a gown for tonight's welcoming celebration." She said showing me the gown.
It was breath taking, it was a deep red in color with gold trim, the gown just barely skimmed the floor, the sleeves were snug fitting and ended with a triangular piece of material wrapping around her middle finger. It had a wide neck just barely showing cleavage and it had a cris-cross lace up in the back. "This is beautiful Arwen. Thank- You!" Rin exclaimed hugging the she-elf. The maid, whom I recognize from the night before layed the other dresses out on the bed. She let out a shriek as Avath pounced on her. "Avath don't scare her! You apologize mister man!" I scolded him. His ears went back in shame as he rubbed against the maids' legs, she smiled. "Good boy Avath." I said. The maid eyed me. " I know you. Did you find Lord Eomer`s room easily?" she asked. I blushed as Arwen raised an eyebrow and laughed. "We.um.Ah.we had to discuss something." Arwen grinned, " sure you did." Suddenly Avath jumped into my arms sensing my nervousness. "So this is the infamous little Tylpeaelen panther I've heard about." She said while scratching him behind the ears. He purred loudly in response. " Oh! He's so darling!" she cooed. "Well we better get you dresses and get your hair done. The White Wizard, Gandalf seeked an audience with the Lady Rinbelethwen." I cringed at my full name. The maid whispered something to Arwen. She nodded, " Of course Ellie, you may go." As soon as Ellie left, Arwen turned to me, arms folded in front of her chest. " Come on, spill it! What's going on with you and a certain Rohan King?" she asked grinning. Rin blushed, " We are merely friends, Arwen." She rolled her eyes. "Right and I'm and Orc!" I put my hands on my hips. " Oh be quiet miss nosey." She laughed. Arwen smiled. "Do not lie to me, I saw you two after dinner in the garden." My jaw hit the ground. "Anyways." I said trying to change the subject. She rolled her eyes, " Fine keep your secrets."
I finally decided on a pale blue and silver dress. "I love these dresses!" Rin said. Arwen smiled. " Good because they are yours." I thanked her profusely as she braided my hair around my head like a crown. We then headed for the study where Gandalf awaited me.
Arwen and Rin casually walked down the corridors. " Arwen do you know where I can find Nefaratoiel." Rin asked. Arwen thought for a moment then pointed to the garden. " I believe I saw her last in the garden with Silmaneero." She stated. Rin nodded and picked up Avath, " Be right back!" she called to Arwen as she ran in the direction of the garden.
Sure enough there sat Nefaratoiel watching Silmaneero chase a rabbit. Rin approached her nervously, Nefaratoiel looked up. " H-hi.um.could you um..watch Avath for a couple of hours while I speak to Gandalf? I would normally just leave him with Eomer but he's also busy. And you're the only one he trusts." Nefaratoiel nodded, a slight smile appearing on her face. " Of course I will watch him." She said. Rin set him down with Silmaneero and the two went off. " Thank-you so much." Rin said happily.
She returned to Arwen and she led her to the study. "Thanks" Rin said, she nodded and walked away.
Rin knocked on the door waiting a few moments. The door eventually opened. Gandalf appeared smiling. : Come in dear girl!." He said closing the behind her.
" I trust you slept well?" he asked with a twinkle in his eyes. I blushed and nodded.
"How did you know?" Gandalf chuckled. " I am a wizard I know everything. But this time wizardry was not needed for I see it in your eyes." He paused. "And.I saw him bring up yours and his own breakfast back to his room." I glared at him. " You're an arse hole." He laughed again as he sat down in a large on the balcony. He turned serious. " Well we should discuss what we spoke about last night."
Rin agreed and sat down. 'Finally I'll get an explanation for all this.' She thought. "I really don't understand Gandalf how could you have even known of my existence?" she questioned him.
Gandalf sat in his chair puffing on his pipe for a few moments before he answered, "To be honest, I am not entirely sure myself. You came to me in a dream. Your birth played in my mind. That was the first and last vision of you I received for many years. I found it strange indeed but since none the more came I pushed it aside. That is until it happened again, except you were no longer an infant but a little girl. The dream showed you being beaten by a shadowed figure. I was outraged of course, that someone could do such a thing to a small child. So I strayed behind after the figure left the room. And then by some strange power I was able to communicate with you, telepathically of course. I knew you could not see me but you would be able to hear me. So I put you in a trance like state and spoke to you, calming you down, I was able to comfort you enough so you could rest. I arranged it so that whenever you needed me I could hear you, and so I created a star. One that you would be drawn to speak to when you lost hope. That is how the star came to be. I felt you would have a part to play in Middle Earth but even now I still do not foresee what that part is." Gandalf explained, taking another puff of his pipe. Rin sat across from him still; she was staring at him intently trying to take all this new information in.
Gandalf smiled and continued, " I made it my job to watch over you and keep you safe until I thought it the right moment to bring you here. And when I received another dream that showed me the shadowed figure posing a threat to your life I immediately took action and transported you and your friend here."
Rin nodded. She had no doubt that 'He' was a threat to her life; after all it was she who sent him to jail 4 years before. Ever since he had been trying to come after her.
"I know of what you speak Gandalf, for that nightmare has also been in my mind. The shadowed figure was my stepfather and he went by the name of Jack, a foul character he was, and I fear he is still looking for me." Rin stated sadly.
"Rin, you must know that he may find his way here. When I transported you here the portal would have stayed open for a day. If he had reached you in that time he may have passed into Middle Earth as well."
This frightened Rin immensely, she was not safe then. " Gandalf how will we know?" she asked nervously.
"We would not, only if you see him with your own eyes child." Gandalf said solemnly. Rin nodded standing up. " Gandalf although I do not fully understand all of what has happened, I trust you entirely. I know you would never harm me. I'm very grateful that you brought me here. I could never thank you enough. I've never been happier." Rin said hugging him.
He chuckled, " I knew you would be. You seem to have captured everyone's hearts. Your company is loyal and they care for you greatly." She nodded. " I couldn't ask for better friends. Speaking of which I should go find Steph I've rarely spoken to her." Rin said nervously after thinking about what Gandalf had said about Jack. She turned away quickly as tears sprung to her eyes. She began to leave hoping he hadn't detected them but received her answer when he spoke again,
" Rin, he will not harm you here in Rivendell or as long as your friends are near. They would die protecting you." He said.
She spun around, " Can you really promise me that Gandalf? He's already captured my nights what will stop him from capturing my days?" Gandalf stood walking towards the frightened girl, " You MUST let him go! If you allow him to have such a hold on you then you cannot be truly happy. I will not stop protecting you my dear Rinbelethwen, and neither will Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Eomer or your other friends. Trust me child he will die before he is able to lay a hand on you." Gandalf pulled her into a hug and she cried into him. "Thank you Gandalf, for saving me." She said pulling away. Gandalf smiled and returned to his spot on the balcony. Rin wiped her eyes and ran happily to Steph`s room. 'I can't wait to talk to Steph', she thought.
