Journey to Mordor (By SUV)
Disclaimer: Nope, no own.
Chapter Thirty-eight: Runaway
Tess ran from the Houses of Healing to the stables. She raced to ES Brego's stall and flung the door open. She hugged Brego tightly as tears came falling onto the horse's silky coat. She finally let go and grabbed some tack and saddled Brego and then added her packs. After checking that she had her sword and dagger, Tess mounted Brego and pulled the hood of her Elven cloak up and rode out of Gondor.
Aragorn walked outside of the Houses of Healing just in time to see a bay horse galloping down the levels of the city. On the horse's back was a rider with an Elven cloak on with the hood up. Tess was running away. Aragorn raced down to the stables, tied reins onto Brego's halter with a rope and hopped on and galloped after his runaway daughter.
"Tess! Stop! Come back! Stop! Tess!" he cried as he began to close in on her outside of the city.
She heard his voice and leaned forward, whispering something into her horse's ear. The horse took off and she flattened herself on the horse's neck. Aragorn cursed as he sped up also. He began to close in even more on her and she noticed this and began to shout at him.
"Leave me alone, ada! Go back and see your Eowyn! I know you like her and not nana! Just leave me alone!"
Aragorn was shocked at her shouts. She actually thought that he liked Eowyn!
"Tess! That's not true! I don't like Eowyn! I was trying to find out why she tried to kill you!"
"Like I really believe that! Never trust a Ranger! And you know what? It doesn't matter anymore! I'm going to see nana and you can't stop me!"
"Yes I can!" cried Aragorn as he reached over and pulled the reins back on ES Brego, bringing the runaway to a sudden halt.
"Valar damn you to hell, ada!"
Aragorn turned and silently led Tess back to Gondor. She pouted the whole way but never tried to break away again or speak.
Author's Notes:
Yes I know, not much of a chapter but it was left over from an earlier draft of "Meeting Mary" and it didn't work well there and I didn't want to trash it. So here it is! Next update due Friday, October 8th and it will be a double post day!
Sorry that I can't post tomorrow, it just wouldn't be possible. I have a field hockey game then I have to run to another school to represent my school in an event and I don't get back until late and I already had a very full day because of field trip.
Correction: the key chain that was mentioned in the last chapter is supposed to say "run along and die now". Thank you Dolly!
