Chapter 52

A Lost Dog Returns

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Eomer, Lothiriel, and I made it into Minas Tirith at night, totally undetected, which helped.

In the morning, Eomer had them tell Aragorn of his arrival.

Eomer and Lothiriel were to meet Aragorn in the library right after breakfast.

I of course, got into the library early; it was part of the plan.

I changed into my normal clothes first; I couldn't stand wearing a dress any longer. And I wore Boromir's knife again, sort of in memory of.

Eomer, Lothiriel, Aragorn, Arwen, Faramir, Eowyn, Gimli, and Legolas, came into the library. I wasn't expecting EVERYBODY.

"Why did you come Eomer?" asked Aragorn

"I found something that belongs to you."

"To me?" asked Aragorn

"Yes, a little dog."

"Dog?"

"Yes, a little dog, that ran away."

That was my cue.

I walked out from behind the shelf I had been hiding behind.

"Anna!"

"Hello everyone."

Everyone just sort of blinked and stared.

"If you didn't want me back, I can always go back…"

Gimli was the first to speak

"Do you know how much worry you put us through, lassie?" he asked

"Hopefully not a lot."

"Not a lot? We searched all over for you!"

"I'm sorry, really I didn't think that you would get that worried."

"Not get that worried?" repeated Faramir "We searched all over for you, we thought you'd vanished."

"Did you ask those two dimwitted Rangers that are supposed to be watching the road?"

I asked

"Yes…" said Faramir

"Well, they aren't very observant then." I said

"Where were you?" asked Legolas

"I found her working at the Silver Ship Tavern in Dol Amroth." Said Eomer

"You were working at a bar?"

"I was hired just after Eomer walked in, he caught me."

"At least you didn't become a Ranger." Said Aragorn

There was a murmur of agreement.

"Well, now that your back, I guess we can all leave." Said Aragorn

Another murmur of agreement.

So we walked out of the library, and went to walk down the stairs.

Then I tripped.

Purely accidental, no one shoved me, I just tripped over my big feet, and then instead of the long staircase, I saw at the end… carpeting? What was going on?
