A/N: Yes, on with the next chapter. The chapter we have all been waiting for. Including myself, in which Lothiriel and Éomer finally meet, but the question is, will they know it? Muahahaha! I love scheming. I don't really know what POV this will be from. Maybe both firsts.

Disclaimer: Why must I do this every time? Am I really going to say that I own everything in the world and say that I sold your soul? Oh wait, I already did that. Alas, I do not own lotr even if I want to.

As the Rain Falls

I never realized how confusing these hallways were in the middle of the night, especially after a small amount of ale. How will I ever be able to find my room? Maybe I'll just randomly pick a room and hope it's not a woman's room. After my conversation with Faramir I don't think that would go over too well.

Maybe my room's down this hallway or is it that one? Or was it to the left? This is too much for my mind. I wonder if Éowyn could help me find…

I don't think I can breathe. I think I'm in the presence of a goddess or some heavenly creature. She's breathtaking. She has long raven hair settling on her trim frame. She has fair skin that seems to be as delicate as a niphredil. She's astonishing as she stands there by the fire in the library. She seems to be lost in her own lost thoughts.

I think my heart stopped beating all together. Either that or it fell to the floor when it leapt out of my chest. Why haven't I seen her before? Why am I just standing here? Why can't I move? What's happening to me?

She's going to see me if I continue to gawk at her like this. Come on legs, move. I think I saw a back door into the library before. Maybe I can sneak in through there without her noticing.

I thought I heard something. Maybe I'm imagining things. Although there are a lot of noises. After all, there is a feast in the main hall tonight. I didn't feel like joining. Probably more suitors to gawk at me and want to dance. That's not something I'm really in the mood for right now.

I swear I heard something again, but a lot closer this time. And it seemed to be coming from the back of the library. It's probably one of my brothers. They can be so irritating. Although something tells me it isn't them. Maybe I'll go see who it is. I can't imagine why my brothers would….

In the back of the corner there's a man of great stature. He has long golden hair and a strong built. I know he's not from around here. I haven't seen him before. He doesn't look like most of the men from this area and not only because of his appearance. He holds himself a lot different as well. Not as arrogant or proud as most men. He seems more at ease and open. He seems to be looking for someone.

I think he might of seen me gawking at him. I hope not. He seems to be lost in his own thoughts and for this I am thankful. Maybe I should say something to him. Although I prefer to watch him right now. He's so…

"Excuse me," I finally said after a few minutes of searching for the lady that had captivated me just moments before. I found her starring right at me. She seemed to blush at my words and I think I melted when I saw her deep green eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I…" she started but then stopped for then she looked deeply into my eyes as well.

At this point we simply gazed into each other's eyes for a moment longer, after to break this ecstasy. It was so… remarkable. I've never felt anything like it before. I was completely lost in her eyes and if a door hadn't been opened I would have stayed like that for the rest of time.

His eyes are so bottomless and mystifying. They're so amiable and gentle. They're so… mesmerizing. I could stay like this for eternity. With… wait, I don't even know who he is, but I don't care. He's…

A door just opened. It must be one of my brothers this time. Oh course they would find me now. They would have to ruin this for me.

"Meet me here tomorrow at dawn." I quickly said hoping he would understand that I needed to leave. He simply nodded with his dark brown eyes. Those eyes. " I must go." I said and left leaving him standing there.

Sure enough there was Erchirion standing by the front door of the library looking for me. "Where have you been?" He questioned with anger present is his voice. "There was a feast tonight. Or were you unaware of this?"

"I know. I was right here in the library. I'm heading to bed." I said and quickly him with his thoughts not letting him reply. With the dim light, however, he didn't see the wide grin on my face either.

As I lay in my bed now all I can think of is the morning that lies ahead and the lady that captivates me so. How I long to see her again. I don't know who she is, but I don't care. I'll have to tell her who I am tomorrow as well. I wonder how she will react. I wonder where she's from. I wonder who she is. Maybe I should get some sleep. I will see her, the lady of my thoughts, in the morning.

Who was he? He wasn't from around here? He's not built like the men of Dol Amroth or Gondor? Maybe farther North? Rohan possibly? That could be. The library wasn't lit very well so it was hard to tell. All I could was his eyes. They seem to be able to see right through me. They were amazing.

Nonetheless I will have to tell him who I am. I wonder how he'll react. I don't know. Men are so difficult to figure out. Why was he was mesmerizing though. I've never been affected that way by anyone before. I guess my questions shall be answered in the morning. I should get some rest. The morning draws ever closer.

A/N: Wow, I finally got somewhere. Yeah for me. Life is good. Actually it's not because I'm sick right not and this was really hard to right. Now I'm not sure where to go so ideas would be good. As would reviews. How do you get the break in the story be with a line or whatever. I can't figure it out. Help me. Thanks a bunch. Namaarie.
