Hey. Second update in a row for Love Springs Eternal. In this chapter some time has elapsed since the encounter early in the day happened. It is now evening time in Rivendell. And Boromir and the twins have a plan to get Elrond and Lavendella alone together. We will also see what happens to poor Faramir when he tells Denethor where Lavendella is. So without further ado on with the chapter.

Boromir watched the elf lord look towards where Lavendella had gone. A smirk formed on the man's face. Although Boromir had heard that elves didn't have relationships outside of their own species a thought occurred to him. Lord Elrond had come this way to go after Della.

"My lord," said Boromir, "is there something you need?"

Color rose on Elrond's face. He didn't know what had pocessed him to follow the girl to begin with. But he couldn't escape the feeling he felt when he looked into her eyes. He hadn't felt that way since he had first met his dead wife Celebrain. But what to tell the brother.

"I was coming to make sure that you were made aware that Lavendella was here," he told Boromir.

It wasn't entirely a lie. He had wanted to tell the brother of Lavendella's presence. He looked over to find that the brother seemed to be believing what he had said.

Boromir smirked he could see past the elf lord's lie. He could also see that it was very blatantly a lie. The way Elrond's face colored when he had been caught staring the way Lavendella had gone. He could see very plainly that the elf lord had feelings for Lavendella. It was then a plan formed in his mind. Maybe he'd get his new friends involved in the plan.

"I will see to finding Lavendella some comfortable lodgings," Elrond told Boromir breaking him out of his thoughts.

"Oh yes," said Boromir. "Thank you Lord Elrond."

He smiled as he watched the elf lord walk off. Then he went in search of Elladan and Elrohir. He knew they would definitely want to help him.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Elrond walked the path that looked like where Lavendella had gone. He couldn't help the small smile that came to his face as he thought of her. Or the way her name sounded perfect rolling off his tongue. Or even rolling around in his own mind.

So lost in his own thoughts he didn't realise he walked into Lavendella's own musing thoughts. That is until he heard her speak.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

"Who does that pompous elf jerk think he is?" she screamed to herself not knowing Elrond was there. "If he thinks I'm going home he's sadly mistaken. No this my chance to prove my worth to both my brother Boromir and my father. And I'm not letting anyone get in the of that."

She wasn't really angry at the elf lord. She didn't really understand her own feelings now and that didn't make her feel to happy. It started the minute she looked into those grey eyes of his. She felt something warm burst in her heart. Something she hadn't felt before. She thought for a moment there she was dying. But that wasn't it.

And then he said his name. She had never hear something like it. Elrond. Yet she couldn't help wanting to hear it again. And again.

The snap of a twig brought her out of her own musings and yelling. She looked over and felt the color rise in her cheeks as she saw him.

"My lord Elrond," she gasped. "I was unaware that you were here."

He chuckled and she swore she could have walked on air, if given the chance that is.

"I didn't mean startle you," he said taking her hand. "I have sent one of my men to prepare some more comfortable rooms for you. And I would enjoy the pleasure of your company at dinner tonight. If you wouldn't mind sitting at the high table with myself and my family. Your brother is welcome to join us as well."

Lavendella was startled. She didn't know what to say.

"Of course," she said. "I would like that."

Meanwhile hidden in the bushes behind the two of them Boromir, Elladan, and Elrohir watched as Elrond and Lavendella talked.

"We're in," said the twins.

The three of them made their way to the kitchens and implemented their plan. Which consisted of placing something to make everyone sick in all the people's lunches except Elrond's and Lavendella's.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Lavendella looked around at all the empty tables. She then looked towards the head table. Two places where set with candles.

A throat was cleared behind her. She turned around quickly to find Lord Elrond dressed eloquently for dinner.

"It would seem it's just you and me," he told her.

"It would seem," she answered back.

Elrond pulled out her chair for her. Lavendella sat down with a smile and thank you. Plates had been set out for them already.

"It is strange," said Elrond. "Everyone fell ill after lunch. Your brother, my sons and daughter prepared this meal for us."

"Where are they?"

"They fell ill soon after they prepared the food."

Lavendella smirked. "Yeah," she snorted. "They fell ill. I think the four them set us up."

Elrond raised an eyebrow at this. "They set us up?"

"Yes. They did. Really clever of them actually."

Elrond stared at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Well the meal was delicious," she said. "Would you like to join me for a walk?"

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Elrond looked at Lavendella with a raised eyebrow. Had she just asked him to go on a walk with her? He stood up and reached his hand out to her.

Lavendella took his offered hand and it took all of Elrond's strength not to pull her to him and kiss her senseless.

"Where to?" she asked him. "This is your place. Show me the sights."

Elrond showed her around to all the places that he had taken Celebrain when they first met. The last stop on their agenda was one that no one knew about. Or at least no one who was still alive. The only person who knew about this spot was his brother Elros. And that was because the two of them had spied on their parents once.

"This place is beautiful Lord Elrond," Lavendella gasped. She looked out at the beautiful lake with the moon just rising over it.

"Please feel free to call me Elrond," he told her.

"Alright Elrond." She blushed slightly as she said his name.

He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. And yet again she surprised him.

Lavendella stood up on tip toe and gently pressed her lips to his. Elrond gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling Lavendella close to him.

"Father," came a voice from behind them causing the two to break apart.

"Arwen," said Elrond.

During the argument that ensued Lavendella ran off to her to go through her thoughts. And figure out what had just happened.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Faramir walked slowly towards his father he wasn't looking forward to telling him what he had just figured out. Denethor looked up at his son.

"I hope you have some news of your sister's where abouts," hissed Denethor. He paced back and forth wringing his hands. His daughter. His only daughter was out there and lost.

"Lavendella is with Boromir in Rivendell," said Faramir. "Her lady in waiting told me after you left us a few minutes ago."

"Why did she not tell me?" screamed Denethor. "Send word to Elrond of Rivendell..."

A messenger walked in. "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell about the Lord Denethor's daughter," said elf. "She is safe and being given all right given to her station."

Denethor sighed in relief. His daughter was safe. He turned to his guards. "Have the lady in waiting executed," said Denethor. He turned to the messenger. "And send my thanks to your master."

With that said Denethor for the first time that day began to relax not knowing what was happening between his daughter and Lord Elrond at the moment.

There you have it. Second update of the day. I hope you all enjoyed.
