Chapter II
Eowyn yawned and sat up, rubbing her eyes. She had just woken up from her nap. Her golden curls tumbled around her face. Light footsteps sound in the hall and raced past her room. She hurriedly fell out of bed and pulled on her overdress. Eowyn slipped on her small boots. Pushing open the door, she ran down the hall as fast as a five year old could.
She ran into her Uncle Theoden's throne room, disturbing the court that was gathered. Her father, mother, uncle, and many others turned and stared at her. She tried to smile innocently and slip back out of the door unnoticed, but she failed.
"Eowyn, come here," her mother whispered. "How many times have I told you that it isn't good manners to interrupt us when we are in this room with the door closed?"
"Many, many times." Eowyn looked down at her feet.
Her mother motioned a boy over, who was maybe 12 years old. "Grima, would you take Eowyn to her brother so that Eomer can watch over her?"
The pale faced boy bowed low. "Of course, m lady.anything for the sister of the King." Grima took Eowyn's hand and led her from the hall. Eowyn tried to pull her hand out of Grima's but he held fast. She hated the feeling of his hand.it was always so cold, and sweaty.
Grima pulled her down the hallway, but instead of continuing, he pulled her into a small closet. He threw her away from him, into the darkness. He chuckled.
"See if you can escape this time, young one." She heard him hiss. She shuttered, remembering the last time she had ran into the throne room and her mother had sent her back with Grima. He had locked her in a dark closet, just like now and left her. She had finally picked the lock, but not before a fear rising in her.
Tears ran down her cheeks and shivers ran up and down her spine. She pressed herself up against the wall. She heard the hiss of Grima's breath has he search for her, having had his fun.
'Eomer.where are you.' she ran her fingers along the wall and instead of the door, she found a broken broom handle. At that moment, Grima's hands grabbed her. She swung the sharp end towards what she thought was his face. He yelled out in pain as she hit him, proving that she had met her mark.
She found the door and flinging it open, ran down the hall. She stumbled down some stairs and then tripped and fell right on top of her brother. He rolled her gently off of him onto the stone floor. Their cousin, the King's son, ran over to help Eowyn and Eomer up.
"Eowyn what happen? You look pale.are you not feeling well?" Eomer placed his hands on his sister's shoulders and looked her in the eye. She seemed shaken, almost scared. "Eowyn.tell me."
She clutched at him. "Eomer.promise me.promise me that you'll never leave me alone in the dark.promise." she whispered. Eomer looked at his younger cousin, who shrugged.
He looked back at his sister who was clinging to him, looking up at him with pleading eyes. "I promise, but tell me what happened."
"Grima.he." she started to stammer out an answer when at that very moment, Grima ran down the stairs towards them. His cheek had a fresh wound that was bloody. Eowyn let out a scream and hid behind her brother. "Eomer," she whimpered. "Don't let him touch me." she buried her face into the back of Eomer's tunic.
Grima glared past Eomer. "Eomer, I am supposed to take your sister back to her room. Let me have her so that I might do what your mother requested of me." he reached toward Eowyn, but she drew back.
Eomer stepped forward. He held his head high, though the nine year old stood but shoulder high to the older boy. "Stop frightening my sister! You do not need to take her anywhere. Leave us..now!"
Grima glared at them, but gave a crude bow and left. Theodred held Eowyn's right hand, and Eomer held the other.
"You can play with us, Eowyn cousin. There's always room for one more, right Eomer?" Theodred looked to his older cousin. Eomer nodded and clasp his little sister's hand tighter.
"Yes," he said. "Let's go into my room.and Eowyn, tell us what happened." They entered Eomer's room and they all sat on the floor, Eowyn in Theodred's arms.
"Grima forced me.into the dark," Tears filled Eowyn's eyes. "I was so scared, Eomer.and you weren't there to protect me."
Eomer crawled over and hugged her. "I won't leave you in the dark alone, ever. We won't let that happen, will we?"
Theodred nodded. "We'll all stick together!" They all embraced, and then they left to play outdoors, Eowyn holding Eomer's hand.
It was almost midnight and Eowyn was tucked safely in bed. Soft shadows fell on her face. Suddenly, she sat up, trembling. The dark corners of her room seemed to spread and creep toward her. Fear filled her young eyes and she jumped out of bed and ran out her door.
Eomer rolled over, snoring softly. The creak of his door opening startled him. He slowly sat up and looked around. His bedroom door was open. He felt something tug at his sleeve. He turned and saw Eowyn look up at him.
"It got dark."
Eomer nodded and opened him arms to her. She gratefully climbed onto his bed and sank into them [his arms]. "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"
"Is that ok? Its just so dark."
"I know." Eowyn fell asleep soon in Eomer's arms. Eomer sat thinking. He loved him little sister with all his heart and he promised himself at that moment that he would never let anyone hurt her.
Tell me how you like it, k? I wanted to show that Eowyn has a strong bond with her brother and that they care very much for each other. I also wanted to start showing a growing fear Eowyn develops about the dark, and being alone. I will continue her childhood soon..i didn't really know how to bring her fear of Grima wormtongue haunting her, so I hope you like it..just review and tell me, thanks!!
