Chapter 9 If Looks Could Kill
"I can't possibly keep this!" Arwen said to her grandparents. She had just been given Luthien Tinuveil's diary. "I admit I wanted to read it but I can't keep it. What right do I have?
"Well for one you are her most recent heir. You will be getting this along with other things. And Arwen, have you looked in the mirror? You are so much like her! I think it will be useful to know how your great grandmother lived and died." Galadriel said. Arwen nodded.
"But you must watch over this. The Wise have kept this safe
for a long time. There are things in here that must not to fall into the wrong
hands. You must watch over it with your very life." Said Celeborn
"I will. I promise." She said. "But, you said I will be getting other things. What other things? And why am I just now getting them? I have been the right age to come into an inheritance for a long while.
"Because things have now been set into motion that no one can stop, for your very heart will control it." Galadriel said. Arwen looked at her puzzled. "You will understand in good time.
"But for now Arwen, you must not speak of this to your father. You can tell him that you have gotten the diary, he knows that you were supposed already, but you must not tell him of what we have just spoken to you of, about what has begun." Celeborn said,
"But I don't even know what has begun!" Arwen said annoyed.
"You don't now, but soon you will. Just consider our words and read the diary." Galadriel said.
"Alright. I will trust you." Arwen said grudgingly.
"We had better go seat ourselves. Will you be sitting with us?" Celeborn asked.
"Yes, well you will be sitting up in the front over there," she said pointing to where all the silk chairs were set out for the royals, "with myself, and the King of Rohan, and all the other royal ones once they arrive." Arwen said. Her grandparents nodded. They then walked over there and sat in two chairs next to Arwen's, the other Lothlorien elves sat behind them.
Arwen introduced Galadriel and Celeborn to the King ThŽoden, Eowyn, and Eomer. Then the trumpets Arwen had heard earlier sounded.
"Someone else must be arriving." Arwen said.
"Want to go see who it is?" Eowyn asked Arwen. Arwen said yes. The two women stood and walked across the room to the door. As they walked, they felt eyes on them. Between the two there was enough beauty to draw attention miles away. Eowyn's white dress shone in the light and her golden hair fell past her shoulders like a river. She looked like an angel. Arwen's deep blue dress along with her dark hair made her look what her name said she was, the daughter of twilight. A goddess walking in the mortal realm.
The two walked out the doors and down the steps. A smile spread across Arwen's face.
"My kin." Arwen breathed. She took her dress in her hands, so as not to trip, and started running to greet the horses and their riders. Eowyn went after her. As the riders approached, they slowed and met with them.
"Arwen! You made it!
"Ada!" Arwen said to her father who rode up to the head on a white mare. He dismounted and embraced his only daughter.
"Is everyone here?" Arwen asked look around at the group.
"Yes." Elrond said.
"Ada this is Eowyn, she is the niece of King ThŽoden of Rohan." Arwen said introducing Eowyn.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." Elrond said bowing. Eowyn blushed. Arwen continued looking around the group and then spotted who she had been looking for, Aragorn. She looked at him and smiled. He dismounted and walked over to her and greeted her. His eyes sparkled when he saw her.
"It is wonderful to see you again Arwen." He said, his heart skipping a beat. Seeing her again made him feel like he could fly. And her smile! He wanted to just grab her right there and kiss her and hold her. He loved her. He hated the fact that he did, he knew it was forbidden but who couldn't love one as amazing as Arwen! Since they had first met, they had been spending time together and had gotten to know each other quite well. They were very good friends now. But Aragorn wanted it to be more.
"It is wonderful to see you as well." She said hiding her true feelings she felt at seeing him. She felt as though she couldn't breathe. Being this close to him and yet being so far away, from how she wanted it to really be! Arwen chastised herself. She had told herself not to think like that about him! Oh but it was so hard
Elrond watched the whole time suspiciously, but then laughed at himself for even considering that his daughter would have feelings for a mortal of all beings. She knew better. She was taught better.
"Yes, Lord Aragorn has come. Being the heir to the throne of Gondor he must learn all he can." Elrond said.
"Oh where are my manners!" Aragorn said, turning to Eowyn. "I am Aragorn of the North.
"I am Eowyn of Rohan." She said in turn. |"He is rather dashingÉ and the heir to Gondor? He must be noble! she thought to herself.
"Ada, everyone is inside. Go into the room that is right there when you walk in. There will be elves out shortly to take care of the horses." Arwen told her father.
"Alright Arwen. I will see you inside." Elrond said. And with that he walked off and the other elves that were with him followed until only Aragorn. Arwen, and Eowyn remained.
"Leave Eowyn! I want to be alone with Aragorn." Arwen thought to herself. But Eowyn didn't look as though was going to be leaving anytime soon. She was in conversation with Aragorn about how corrupt the Gondorian government was, and that the Steward really needed to get off his power trip (AN: haha).
Aragorn was doing his best to not sound stuck up, but it was hard, Eowyn wouldn't stop saying how great of a King he was going to make when he came into his own. He looked at Arwen and could tell that she was trying her hardest not to roll her eyes.
"But really, you seem so honest! You could bring Gondor back to the days when it was respected. It really isn't anymore." Eowyn said.
"Thank you Eowyn. But the Steward is doing a fine job I think." Aragorn said. "Okay Eowyn you can go now. I finally have Arwen to myself. She is usually being followed by nobles looking to court her. But Eowyn wouldn't leave.
Arwen sighed. "I am going to go in to the school now." Arwen said about to walk off. Aragorn grabbed her arm.
"No stay here." He said. "Please? Arwen's heart just about gave out. He wanted her to stay!
"Alright. We can wait for the others to arrive." She said remaining graceful and delicate, not showing that her heart was beating 1,000 miles an hour with happiness.
"Let us go sit but that tree over there." He said motioning to a large tree in the center of the courtyard. He walked over there and the to maidens followed.
"I think he may like me. He really is very nice. I hope he does." Eowyn thought to herself. She took a seat next to him under the shade of the tree; Arwen sat on the other side.
"It really is beautiful here." He said, looking right at Arwen. She caught what he meant and blushed. Eowyn saw this and a small fire lit in her eyes.
Aragorn wasn't going to miss this opportunity, Eowyn present or not. Arwen was sitting so close to him, her head resting on his shoulder. He slowly reached his hand down and laced his fingers in her hand. This would be the test, would she pull away or wouldn't she?
She didn't. As soon as Arwen felt Aragorn touch her, she was in complete bliss. Nothing could ruin the moment. Nothing except
"Oi! Arwen! Aragorn!" Arwen quickly released her hand from Aragorn's and looked up. It was Erestor.
"Where have you two been? Halabarad and I wanted to play a game of cards, but its no fun without you two. Ah, who's the lovely lady?" Erestor said, noticing Eowyn.
Arwen sighed. "This is Eowyn, Eowyn Erestor. Joke of Imladris." She said.
"Hey now! That's not very nice!" Erestor argued.
"Maybe not but it was quite true." He said as he and Arwen broke into laughter. Erestor just stared at them annoyed. "Fine then don't come and play! But we were gonna have the pool go up to 530!
"Oh how exciting." Arwen said sarcastically.
"Good-bye Erestor. Tell Halabarad I will see him later." Aragorn said.
"Fine! Choose your girlfriend over us!" he said and turned and stormed off. Even though he had been joking when he said it, Aragorn and Arwen couldn't help but stiffen when he said it. For a brief moment they each thought that their secrets were known, until they realized that it was just silly Erestor, the half-witted elf. No one had a clue, not even each other.
Oh hurray! Chapter 9 is now done! And onto chapter 10! I feel kinda bad because I have only been focusing on Arwen mostly, but I will have the story be about other people next time I promise.
