Hello guys, I appreciate the reviews. Sorry about chapter two being a Author's note, but I just wanted to make sure to tell you more about Ellie. Right now, I'm pretty sure you guys are dying to read the next chapter so here it is. Please review afterward.
Chapter two: I'm coming with You
The guard approached Faramir and Ellie, reporting that Faramir must leave and try to find his eldest brother Boromir. Faramir had to leave Ellie at the time, and it pained him terribly to leave her in tears but, he had his duties and he prepared to leave to the west.
Ellie followed behind Faramir, as he prepared his provisions and his horse for the west of Minas Tirith to find Boromir. After sharping and sheathing his sword, Ellie spoke to Faramir, " Faramir.. It has been Seven long days, since Boromir has left us both. I have suffered for a week, wondering if Boromir is alright and uninjured . You know I have slept in the garden every night, waiting for his return to Gondor. Will you not take me with you ?"
Faramir paused and turned to look behind at Ellie, who's tears had not yet ceased to fall. Faramir sighed deeply , thinking about whether to bring Ellie along with him or not. Of course, Ellie really did love his brother and Faramir, himself, hated to watch Ellie suffer over Boromir's leave, seven days ago. He lifted his brown eyes onto Ellie's tears stained face as he noticed a little ring of black underneath each of her eyes. She had truly stayed up all night waiting for Boromir to return to her.
Faramir remembered what Boromir had told him before he left, " Faramir, you shall protect, care, and watch over Ellie in my stead, like you always do when I am gone. She will truly worry about me, while I am gone.. If I do not return my brother, take care of Ellie and take my seat in this kingdom. Protect her, my brother no matter what."
Faramir wiped away her tears with his glove upon his hand. " Ellie.. I .. Shall take you with me to find Boromir because I cannot watch or leave you to dwell here in your sorrow and suffering for Boromir. No matter how much danger we shall come upon, I will protect you like the loyal Brother you never had. Come, we must leave quickly."
Ellie sprinted back to the garden, snatching up her sword and cloak as she peered looking out of Pelennor fields and into the cold night. She whispered to the night, " Boromir.. Faramir and I are coming for you.. Please stay alive and unharmed ." Ellie turned away and sprinted to the lower level of Minas Tirith to Faramir, who awaited her at the gates with his brown horse. She approached Faramir at the gate, who stood by his horse talking to the guards . One of the guards spoke as she appeared before Faramir, " My lady, you cannot past this gate." As Faramir helped Ellie upon the horse and getting on in front of Ellie he spoke, " She is coming with me to look for Boromir. She is the lady that was going to be my brother's wife. She shall pass."
The guards looked stunned that Faramir would take a lady with him on the journey to find Boromir because they would risk being ambushed by orcs. The stakes were very high since, orcs roamed the lands freely killing anyone and everything in their sight. The guards opened the gates letting Faramir and Ellie leave the city of Gondor. Faramir kicked that sides of his horse and they were on their way through Pelennor fields, just as dawn had broke through the skies as they traveled to the west . They were on their way to find Boromir's location, where the horn was heard... Near the river.
Well I hope you enjoy this chapter, while I continue on writing chapter four. Please review!
