Warning: I have decided to make Glorfindel and Erestor a couple. In other words, this story implies a slash between G/E. I don't believe it will go further in detail as is alluded int this chapter.

Chapter Five:

"Argh" I screamed loudly when my eyes regained consciousness. Glorfindel and Erestor? What were they doing sharing a room? I must have startled them awake because next thing I knew Glorfindel was sprawled out on the floor rubbing his head and Erestor was looking about the chambers wildly.

"What the, what is it Cassiopeia," Erestor asked me disoriented. "I didn't know where I was," I answered shyly. "What are you doing in Glorfindel's chambers Erestor? Did you get lost? Or was it nightmares too like me" I asked while he pulled Glorfindel to his feet. Both adult males looked at each other and blushed profusely.

"Well um, you see Cassiopeia I …" Erestor trailed off blushing even more. "Well you see Cassiopeia Erestor here locked himself out of his chambers yesterday and I let him stay here for the night," Glorfindel answered.

I continued to stare at both elves with suspicious eyes noticing their discomfort. "Are you sure," I replied, "Ada and naneth say it's really bad to lie."

"What was your nightmare about Wilwarin," asked Erestor. I knew what he was doing, he was trying to distract me. I was not going to let them. I wanted to know the truth. "Huh. Do you like kissing Erestor Glorfindel," I whispered, "I saw you do it before naneth left"?

"Wh…What do you mean kissing Erestor," stuttered Glorfindel? Erestor looked ready to pass out. "Are you okay Erestor. You look sick," I asked getting out of bed and walking towards him. "I'm fine. I'm fine," he answered as he turned to look at Glorfindel.

"Can you keep a secret Cassiopeia? It's really important that you don't tell anyone," Glorfindel asked kneeling in front of me. I nodded quickly "I won't tell anyone I promise, not even ada." Once they were sure I wouldn't reveal their secret they told me all about their relationship and how they loved each other but they didn't want anyone to know yet. I didn't understand why but I promised nonetheless. I would never break my promise, not like ada did to me.

Erestor walked me back to my chambers when they were finished talking to me. He helped me get ready for the day without me having to ask. I still hoped ada would come and help me too but I knew he wouldn't. Sadly, I was right. "He will come around Cassiopeia. Lord Elrond is not the type to put off his responsibilities. He loves you dearly," said Erestor noticing my melancholic expression.

"But why doesn't he spend time with me. He promised to." I whispered wiping a tear "he spends less time with me now than he did before naneth left." Erestor sighed "He is sad to Cassiopeia and the evil forces of Sauron are relentless. Sauron's evil is spreading and more and more elves are dying." I gasped understanding immediately what he was saying, I had heard about Sauron before. "B. But we don't die," I questioned.

"Elves are immortal Wilwarin," replied Erestor patting my head "but we can die of a fatal wound." Erestor walked towards the door "have patience Cassiopeia. Lord Elrond has a lot to deal with." Erestor walked away then heading towards the dining hall. I followed slowly lost in thought.

Ada was there already eating breakfast when I finally made it to the dining hall. He looked tired, very tired, more so then when we traveled back to Imladris from the Gray Havens. He looked up at me and smiled softly "Come here Cassiopeia. Eat breakfast and tell me about your nightmare."

My eyes widened in surprise. How did he know I had nightmares? I didn't tell him, I looked at Glorfindel and knew he was the one to tell him. Ada patted the chair next to him while piling food on my plate. I did as instructed and began eating. "I am waiting Cassiopeia. Are you not going to tell me," he asked arching his eyebrow. "Um… I don't remember," I lied. I didn't want him to know, he might think I was crazy.

"Didn't you say and I quote 'it is bad to lie' to me this very morning Cassiopeia," interfered Glorfindel. Ada sighed "I want to know Cassiopeia and it will help". Reluctantly I told them about seeing naneth and the mean words she uttered to me. Ada nodded then and looked at me expectantly. How did he know there was more?

"All of it Cassiopeia," ada said. "I saw you fighting and there were many, many, elves fighting behind you. It was scary ada. There was a huge volcano and everything looked dead and black and there was lots of red stuff spreading on the ground. And King Gil-galad was there too, fighting and he gave you a ring and then he fell when a monster stabbed him ada," I cried remembering the dream clearly.

I looked up at ada, he looked shocked and frightened. No, ada couldn't be scared he isn't scared by anything. He turned to me then picking me up and hugging me tightly, too tightly, "ada I can't breathe." Ada released me but continued to hold me gently.

"It's alright Wilwarin everything I alright. It will help having talked about it," ada spoke "I also wish to apologize for my terrible behavior these last few days. I know I hurt you. It was not my intention. I give you my word that it will not happen again."

"It's okay ada Erestor told me why. Bad things are happening," I muttered hugging him tightly. Ada nodded and kissed my forehead "it true Cassiopeia, evil is spreading. Nonetheless, I am truly sorry. I hurt you and caused you pain. Will you forgive me?"

I didn't know what to say so I nodded and kissed ada on the cheek "I love you ada."

"I love you too Cassiopeia. I love you too. Now off you go its time for your morning classes," ada said while setting me on my feet. I sighed and pouted walking slowly towards the exit. Before I reached the exit I heard Glorfindel talk "do you think it was a vision Elrond. Could she have seen the future? Does she possess the ability of foresight?"

Ada sighed "I am sure of it. There is no other explanation. She saw and described too many details that she could not have possibly known."
