A/N: Glad you guys like it. To make this A/N short, Aragorn isn't putting the moves on her. This one is a bit longer, so, hope you like!

Chapter 10

Everything was dark. I was in a pit of blackness and my head was aching. Suddenly, I heard voices.

"Éowyn! Éowyn!" I slowly opened my eyes to see a worried Aragorn huddled over me. I sat up on my elbows and my head began to throb.

"Oh, thank Elendil you're all right! Faramir would have killed me!" He smiled warmly, but there was still a concerned crease in his brow.

"What happened?" I asked, now propped against the wall.

"Do you remember any of what I told you?" he asked wearily.

I gently leaned my head against the wall and thought. The prophecy. I sighed. "Yes, I do. That whole idiotic prophecy idea you told me."

"Éowyn," he said, quite sternly with a voice of a king. "It's no lie. That prophecy…you have to help me."

We were silent for a couple moments. I was about to ask again what had happened when he read my mind and answered me.

"After I told you, you became very nauseated and ran out of the room. Well, you blacked out and hit your head."

"Did I, er, vomit?"

He laughed and shook his head no.

"That's good. Everything is so beautiful here, if I had, no one would want to ever come back."

We laughed for a few moments and then an awkward silence settled in the air. I looked up at Aragorn.

"Go," he said softly.

I nodded and ran to the Houses of Healing.

Faramir's face was pale, but he looked better than when I first arrived. I sat down and caught my breath. I grabbed his hand and held it in mine. I kissed it. He awoke dreamily.

"Éowyn," he whispered.

I smiled. "How are you?"

"Much better. They said I could go for a walk when I was ready, but I decided to wait for you." He smiled weakly.

"Well, then, let us go for a walk!"

I held onto his arm and supported him as we walked through the gardens of the Houses. I could hear him breathing heavily and suggested we sit down.

"Where did you go?"

"Aragorn wanted to talk to me. Actually, that's what I want to talk to you about. Have you heard anything about a prophecy?" He shook his head no and I explained everything to him.

"Éowyn, this is marvelous! This is what you've always wanted."

"I used to. But now…all I want is for us to be married and for me to become a healer. I don't want the weight of the world."

"Éowyn, you can't choose your life. Things are thrown in your way and you have to take them into stride. You could be my wife and a healer, as well. You're a strong woman, Éowyn. I know you could do it."

I felt my eyes sting with tears. "I'm scared."

He held me in his arms for the rest of the night.
