Chapter Two

There was a knock on Unadrieniels' door. Rolling over and looking out her window at the sky, she guessed that it was about nine o' clock in the morning.

"Who could that be knocking at my door this early in the morning? Why are they bothering me?"

"Lady Unadrieniel, it's time to get up. We need to start packing your things since you leave tomorrow." Her maid, Vanesse, called from the other side of the door.

Unadrieniel groaned inwardly.

"If you insist Vanesse..." Unadrieniel called in return

"Yes, she does Unadrieniel. Now open this door." Elrond called, rattling the door.

Unadrieniel groaned again and then rolled over sticking her face in the pillow.

"Just a moment please."

After about a minute, Unadrieniel was composed and about ready to open the door when it suddenly burst open, a very strong wind now coming through the opening. Elrond had used It. No one really spoke of It but all knew that he only used It when he was extremely irritated. And he was irritated!

"I became sick of waiting for you to open this door so I opened it for you." he said

"I was about to open the door for your information. Perhaps if you were more patient you wouldn't of had to use that...thing." Unadrieniel said exasperated.

"Indeed. Now, Vanesse is going to help you pack your things; you are leaving tomorrow. You should arrive at Lothlorien in about one week...Eru willing." Elrond said, shuddering.

"Of course Ada..." she said, rolling her eyes.

"I leave you to your job Vanesse. Good luck." he said to Vanesse

"Anytime sir." she responded, almost automatically

And so the packing began...

Deciding what to pack was the hard part on since she was only allowed to take a single truck with her. It had to be split between some of her clothes and what she considered important enough for her to take along. Her necklace that she received from her mother. It was similar to Arwens' except that unlike Arwen, she could not wear it. It hurt too much. Plus, now here she was a grandmother and she couldn't see the baby. Her mother would be disappointed in her...

Vanesse broke her out of her reverie.

"Lady, I will accompany you, as will some bodyguards but they will leave and come back here once we reach Lorien." Vanesse explained

"Of course.." Unadrieniel replied with still a slightly dreamy look

The next day...

There was another knock on her door.

"It's probably Ada again..."

"Lady Unadrieniel, it's time to wake up and get ready. We'll be leaving in three hours time." Vanesse called from the other side of the door.

Unadrieniel simply rolled over and went back to sleep.
