The Life of a Ranger
Chapter 5
"Ada, do you mind if Elladan, Legolas and I go hunting for a week or two?" Elrohir asked.
"I don't mind, but I think your sister will," Elrond said.
"What do you mean?" Elladan asked, confused.
"She should be arriving tomorrow afternoon with Galadriel and Celeborn," he said smiling at the young elves.
"Legolas, hunting trip is off I'm afraid," Elladan said grinning.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"When will we get there?" Arwen asked impatiently.
"Tomorrow afternoon if we stop for the night," Galadriel replied.
The company of elves were riding along talking and laughing when arrows started flying through the air. The elves quickly made a protective circle around Galadriel, Celeborn and Arwen. Soon they could all see orcs approaching. After ten minutes the orcs managed to break through the circle of elves. Galadriel, Celeborn and Arwen all pulled their swords out ready to fight.
"Arwen," Celeborn cried when an orc came up from behind.
She swung round and killed the orc but then another orc appeared from nowhere and struck Arwen in her left side. The force of the blow made Arwen fall to the ground, where she didn't raise. In minutes the orcs were killed.
"Celeborn come here. It's Arwen," Galadriel said rushing over to the elf on the floor.
"We need to get her to Elrond now. That blade was poisoned," Celeborn said after examining the wound. "She's broken her left arm," he said tearing a strip from his cloak and securing her arm to her chest.
"Help me lift her onto my horse," Galadriel said jumping onto her horse.
When everyone had mounted they rode like the wind to Imladris, knowing that Arwen's life was in danger.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Erestor, hearing noises in the courtyard ran down to see what was going on.
"Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn, we were not expecting you until tomorrow afternoon."
"Erestor please go and get Elrond. Tell him Arwen is injured," Celeborn said.
"Yes, my lord," he said before running inside.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Elrond," he called trying to wake him up. "Lord Elrond."
"Erestor what is wrong?" Elrond said seeing the elf.
"Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn have arrived. They need you, Arwen is injured."
"I shall be down right away," he said wrapping a robe round himself and following his advisor outside.
"What happened?" he asked lifting the unconscious elf of Galadriel's horse.
"We were attacked by orcs. Arwen was stabbed in the side and she broke her arm," Galadriel said running after him.
"Why don't you go and rest. I will come and get you if there is any change," Elrond said lying Arwen down on the bed.
"If you're sure you will be fine on your own," she said.
"I'll be fine. Erestor will show you to your rooms."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
All the comings and goings had woken the twins up. They crept out of their rooms looking for someone to talk to. They were very surprised when the first people they saw were.
"Daernaneth, Daeradar. I thought you weren't arriving until tomorrow afternoon. Where's Arwen?"
"We were meant to arrive tomorrow but something happened," Galadriel said not wanting to tell them about Arwen yet. "Go back to sleep boys we will talk in the morning."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Elrond bandaged Arwen's arm, then cleaned the wound. He managed to get some medicine inside her to counteract the poison.
"Oh Arwen. Please wake up," he said, a tear running down his cheek. He sat with her for the rest of the night.
In the morning a figure entered the room and saw Elrond sitting by the bed asleep. Her eyes then went to the figure in the bed. Sitting on another chair in the room she thought about her daughter and what had happened to her.
Elrond woke up and looked around. He saw the woman in the chair, but she hadn't seen him so he said, "Morning Galadriel. I hope you slept well."
"I slept fine thank you, although from what I saw a few minutes ago you didn't. How's Arwen?"
"I've done all I can until she wakes. She should be fine. Do Elladan and Elrohir know you are here?" he asked.
"Yes. They woke up last night and saw Celeborn and I. I didn't tell them about Arwen," she said moving closer to the bed.
"I'm just going to go and see Elladan and Elrohir," he said standing up.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Ada," the twins called when they saw Elrond. "We saw Daernaneth and Daeradar last night and we went to Arwen's room this morning but the bed hadn't been slept in. Where is she?"
"Follow me," Elrond said leading them to his study. When they were seated he said, "You know that they were not meant to arrive until this afternoon, yes," they nodded. "Last night they were attacked by orcs. Arwen was stabbed by an orc blade that was poisoned. She also broke her arm. I have cleaned the wound and she should be fine. When she wakes up I have one more thing to give her to make sure no poison is left in her body."
"Can we see her?" Elrohir asked quietly.
"Of course. I'll show you where she is and then I'm going to talk to Gilraen and Estel," he said standing up.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Good Morning Elladan, Elrohir," Galadriel said standing and giving them both a hug.
"Good Morning Daernaneth," the both said sitting down either side of the bed.
"Don't worry boys, she'll be alright," Elrond said before leaving.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Morning Gilraen," Elrond said entering her room followed by Estel.
"Morning. Is everything all right?" she asked.
"You know Arwen and her Grandparents are meant to be arriving this afternoon."
"Yes."
"They arrived last night. They had been attacked by orcs and Arwen was injured," he said setting Estel on his lap.
"Will she be alright?" Gilraen asked thinking about what Elrond had told her about his wife.
"She should be. Do you understand that Estel?" he asked. "Elladan and Elrohir's sister and grandparents are already here so you might be able to see them at breakfast," he said smiling at the toddler.
"Ok," he said slightly nervously. "Ada, you look tired."
"I didn't have much sleep last night, but don't worry I'll be fine. Are you going to get ready for breakfast then?"
"Yep," Estel said getting of Elrond's lap.
"Good boy. I'll see you in a bit then," he said before leaving.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Elladan, Elrohir and Galadriel were talking when they heard a noise from the bed. They reached the bed just in time to see Arwen open her eyes.
"Morning Arwen," Elladan said grinning at his sister.
"Elladan," she said sitting up. "Elrohir. Am I home already?"
"Yes you are. You gave everyone quite a scare yesterday Arwen. When you were stabbed by the orc we wanted to get here as soon as possible," Galadriel said helping Arwen up.
At that moment two elves entered deep in conversation. When the younger one saw Arwen he rushed over.
"Hello Ada," Arwen said hugging her father.
"Hello Arwen. You gave me quite a scare last night you know," he said smiling at his daughter.
"Daernaneth has just said the same sort of thing. Morning Daeradar."
"Morning dear. Hello Elladan, Elrohir. How are you two?" Celeborn asked walking over to the bed.
"Fine thank you," they said hugging him.
When Elrohir looked down at Arwen he said, "That's typical of Arwen she wakes up for a few minutes and then falls asleep again." Everyone laughed.
"She needs some rest. Come shall we go and have some breakfast. Arwen can have some when she wakes up."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Estel, this is Galadriel and Celeborn. They are Elladan and Elrohir's grandparents. This is Estel," Elrond said when everyone was seated.
"Hello Estel," Galadriel and Celeborn said smiling at the toddler.
"Hello," Estel said shyly.
"This is Gilraen, Estel's mother. And I'm sure you know Prince Legolas," he said.
"Hello Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn," Legolas said.
"Prince Legolas there is no need to call us lord and lady here," Galadriel said to the young elf.
"As long as you don't call me prince I won't call you lord and lady," Legolas said grinning.
"I think we can manage that."
"Lord Elrond how's Arwen?" Legolas asked.
"She's fine now, just asleep."
"Do you think I could see her later?" he asked.
"Of course you can," Elrond said.
"Can I meet her please," Estel asked nervously.
"When you have finished your breakfast we can go and see if she's awake."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"How do you feel Arwen?" Elrond asked as he entered the room.
"Hungry. And I've got a bit of a headache," she said.
When he put his hand on her forehead he noticed that it was slightly too hot.
"Here drink this," he said holding up a beaker. "There might be a bit of the poison in your system still. This should help get rid of it."
"Ada," she said when she had finished it. "Why is it that all your medicines and things taste disgusting?"
"I don't know Arwen," he replied laughing. "You've got some visitors."
"Legolas," she exclaimed as the blonde elf walked in. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit your brothers, I had no idea you would be coming home or I most certainly wouldn't of come," he teased her.
"You're as bad as my brothers," she replied laughing.
"Who is?" Elrohir asked as he and Elladan entered. "Oh Legolas. Makes sense."
"Elladan where's Estel?" Elrond asked when he noticed the boy wasn't with them.
"He was behind us a moment ago. Do you want me to go and find him?" Elladan replied looking round.
"No I'll go. Would you like something to eat Arwen?"
"Yes please," she said smiling at Elrond.
"I won't be long."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Estel what's wrong?" Elrond asked kneeling down in front of the boy.
"Nothing. I just don't want to see Arwen yet," he said looking at the floor.
"Why?"
"Because El'dan and El'hir and Leg'las were all happy when you said they could go and see her and I didn't think they would want me there."
"I'm sure they want you there as well. Why don't you come with me to get some breakfast and then take it up to her," Elrond said picking the boy up.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Here you go Arwen," Elrond said laying the tray on her lap.
"Thank you Ada," she said. Then she spotted the small figure behind Elrond's legs.
"Arwen this is Estel. Estel this is Arwen," he said picking Estel up and setting him on his lap.
"Hello Estel," she said smiling at the boy. This must be the boy that Daernaneth told me about she thought.
"Hello Miss," he replied smiling at her.
"You can call me Arwen," she said smiling back.
When Arwen had eaten all the food she could manage she asked Estel to come and sit on the bed next to her. He sat on her right side and she wrapped her arm around him. They sat like this talking with Elladan, Elrohir and Legolas all morning.
Arwen noticed the cuts down Estel's cheeks and neck.
"Where did you get those cuts from?" she asked running her finger gently down them but stopping when she saw the tears welling up in his eyes.
Elladan seeing what was happening picked Estel up and walked out of the room.
"Elrohir what did I do?" Arwen asked when Elladan and Estel had left.
"Not long ago Estel was captured by orcs, he was with them for a week. That's one of the wounds from it," Elrohir explained.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
He knew he would have to apologise to Arwen later but for now he aught to make sure Estel was alright.
"Estel, are you alright. Arwen didn't mean to upset you. She didn't know about what happened."
"Elladan what's going on?" Elrond asked looking at Estel.
"Arwen asked Estel about the cuts on his cheeks and neck and he got a bit upset," he replied handing Estel over to Elrond.
"Why don't you go back and explain to her? I'll bring Estel back in a minute," he said.
"Ada. Have I upset Arwen?" Estel asked hesitantly.
"I don't think so. Shall we go back?"
"Yes."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Arwen, I'm sorry about that it's just." Elladan said.
"Don't worry Elrohir explained it. Is he alright?"
"He's with Ada."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Can I just go and get something?" Estel asked as they were walking back to Arwen's room.
"Ok. Do you want me to wait here for you?" Elrond asked.
"Yes please. I won't be long," he said before running away.
Estel ran to his favourite garden and picked a few of the blue flowers. When he had all the flowers he wanted he ran back to where Elrond was waiting for him.
"Are they for Arwen?" Elrond asked when he saw what Estel was holding.
"Yes. Do you think she'll like them?" Estel asked, nervously.
"I'm sure she'll love them," Elrond said leading him to Arwen's room.
"How are you feeling?" Elrond asked as they entered her room.
"Ok," she replied.
"What do you mean ok?" Elrond asked moving closer to the bed.
"I've got a slight headache but I'll be fine Ada."
"Well if you're sure. Tell me if it gets worse," Elrond said as he brought Estel forward gently.
"I got you some flowers," Estel said holding them up.
"Oh thank you Estel. Do you want to come back up onto here?" she asked patting the bed where Estel had been sitting. He climbed up and they started talking.
Soon Arwen lost track of what was being said. Elrond, noticing this walked over to her. Before he could reach her she fell back.
Estel, thinking he had done something wrong jumped of the bed and ran out of the room. Elrohir went to follow him then looked at Arwen.
"Elrohir go after Estel. Take him to Gilraen and explain why he's upset. Elladan please go and tell Galadriel and Celeborn what has happened," Elrond said before picking up a beaker and filling it with different liquids and powders.
When he had managed to get Arwen to drink it she woke up and was sick all over the bed.
"What happened?" she asked, then seeing the bed said, "Sorry Ada."
"Don't worry. There was a little bit of poison left in you. I needed you to get it out. I didn't realise how quickly it would happen," he said helping her out of the bed. "I think you may of upset Estel quite a bit when you fell unconscious," Elrond said smiling at his daughter.
"Oh dear. Can I come down for lunch?" she asked.
"If you are sure you feel alright," he said.
"I'm fine," Arwen said. "And if I start to feel ill again I promise I will tell you."
"Go on then," he said helping her up. "Would you like me to wait for you while you get changed?"
"No thank you Ada I'll be fine. See you in a few minutes."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Hello Gilraen," Elrond said as he entered her room and sat Estel on his lap.
"How's Arwen?" Estel asked.
"She's fine now," he replied wiping the tear tracks from Estel's cheeks.
"Can I go and see her?" he asked.
"She's coming down for lunch so you'll see her then," he replied standing and carrying him downstairs.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Elrond what's wrong with Arwen? Elladan said she fainted," Galadriel asked worriedly when she saw the elf.
"There was a small trace of the poison left but it's gone now. Arwen should be down soon," Elrond replied as the door opened and Arwen walked in.
"Are you alright now Arwen?" Estel asked as she sat down.
"Fine thank you. I'm sorry if I scared you," she said sitting next to Elrond and Galadriel.
"Gilraen this is Arwen, my daughter. Arwen this is Gilraen, Estel's mother."
"Hello. I hope you're feeling alright now," Gilraen said.
"I'm fine thank you. Well apart from my arm," Arwen said smiling.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Please review again.

"Ada, do you mind if Elladan, Legolas and I go hunting for a week or two?" Elrohir asked.
"I don't mind, but I think your sister will," Elrond said.

"If you are sure you feel alright," he said.
"I'm fine," Arwen said. "And if I start to feel ill again I promise I will tell you."
"Go on then," he said helping her up. "Would you like me to wait for you while you get changed?"
"No thank you Ada I'll be fine. See you in a few minutes."

"Hello Gilraen," Elrond said as he entered her room and sat Estel on his lap.
"How's Arwen?" Estel asked.
"She's fine now," he replied wiping the tear tracks from Estel's cheeks.
"Can I go and see her?" he asked.
"She's coming down for lunch so you'll see her then," he replied standing and carrying him downstairs.

"Elrond what's wrong with Arwen? Elladan said she fainted," Galadriel asked worriedly when she saw the elf.
"There was a small trace of the poison left but it's gone now. Arwen should be down soon," Elrond replied as the door opened and Arwen walked in.
"Are you alright now Arwen?" Estel asked as she sat down.
"Fine thank you. I'm sorry if I scared you," she said sitting next to Elrond and Galadriel.
"Gilraen this is Arwen, my daughter. Arwen this is Gilraen, Estel's mother."
"Hello. I hope you're feeling alright now," Gilraen said.
"I'm fine thank you. Well apart from my arm," Arwen said smiling.
