Eluneth turned to find the tavern maid, at that moment, four hobbits walked into the pub.
Aragorn sweared under his breath and turned to the she elf.
"There are three more hobbits then expected," Aragorn tossed a pouch of gold coins to his companion.
"Find a pack pony, we'll need one," ordered the ranger.
Nodding, Eluneth swiftly passed the halflings and ran to the nearest stables.
The sky was pitch black, stars accented the full moon, the only sound was that of the horses viciously eating grass in the paddock. Eluneth noticed the stout man, he looked to tall to be a hobbit, but too short to be a man. The elf called to the man, the mysterious figure waddled near her, however his eyesight was not as good as the she elf's, he was unable to see her.
"Who's there?" barked the stout man, "tis to dark for anyone but an elf to see, who goes there?" at the mention of elf the colour left his face.
Eluneth sensed the greed in the man's voice, he was worried, anxious, he had done something.
"Good observation," smirked the elleth as she emerged from the shadows, she could suddenly hear the minds of the horses, he had been starving them.
He jumped, spilling the vial he had been been carrying, a sudden shriek escaped his mouth, it had burned him. Eluneth was no idiot, she immediately pulled out one of her blades, before the man knew it, he had a blade pressed to his throat.
"Who are you?" whispered the man in fear.
"I am the elf you attempted to kill," replied Eluneth,
"Please don't hurt me!" screeched the pathetic scoundrel.
"No? Give me one reason why." Hissed the elleth.
"Take my horses my money anything!" pleaded the man, however Eluneth was no fool, she felt his muscles reach for the knife in his pocket, the man turned to shove a blade into her ribcage. He was too slow, Eluneth had already slit his throat. Watching the man fall to the ground, she whispered " You told Saruman, you had not the brains for such a feat,"
Turning, she opened the gate of the paddock and grabbed the halter of one of the horses, he was sturdy and strong, perfect for her task.
"Go to Bombadil, he will care for you!" cried Eluneth to the remaining ponies, she swung the gate open and watched them run, she sadly wondered if they had ever left the confines of the fence. She could hear the horses thank her in her head, they would be safe, Eluneth trusted Goldenberry. She had never met Tom, however she had heard of his acts of kindness
Hope you enjoyed! Be sure to review if you read the books! poor Bombadil should have been in the movie! Hopefully Eluneth has begun to develop as a character! Just so you guys know, she could have easily disarmed the man, hopefully that tells you something about her! There MAY be another chapter uploaded tonight! at the moment I am trying to write a few chapters in advance. I plan to upload chapters at LEAST twice a week, chapters will most likely be added more often but at the moment twice a week is all I can promise.
