this is a Dinendal/Erestor chapter...well okay not exactly Dinendal/Erestor...its more Dinendal and Erestor LOL
CHAPTER 2
Dinendal walked though the forest, hoping to finally be alone. Earlier he had encountered Hadereth and Andro, who had asked him nearly a million questions about his next patrol. After that had been Elrohir and Silinde, who had just stopped by to see how he was. Then came Elladan and Glorfindel, who asked if he wanted to spar. His last guests had been Lord Celeborn and Haldir, who had invited him to spend his evening meal with them. Dinendal sighed. Could he never just be alone? Why had everyone taken such a sudden interest in him? He continued his walk, not paying any attention to his surroundings, but losing himself deep in thought. His thoughts, however, were interrupted when he ended up walking into someone. He looked up at the elf in front of him, nearly backing away. There stood Erestor, the very elf he had yelled at and the very elf he loved. Erestor looked at him, a look of worry crossing his features.
" Dinendal?"
Dinendal began to walk past him, not replying. He could hear Erestor's voice from behind him.
" Dinendal?"
He continued to walk until he felt a gentle grasp on his arm. He tried to pull away, but the hand would not let him go.
" What is it you want, Lord Erestor?"
Erestor flinched slightly at Dinendal's tone. He sounded angry and what was worse is that he sounded angry at him. Erestor gently pulled Dinendal to face him.
" What have I done to receive your anger Dinendal?"
Dinendel pulled his arm away from Erestor and once again began to walk away. His effort was in vain, when Erestor stepped in front of me.
" If you hate me, just say it."
Dinendal glared at Elrond's Chief Advisor.
" Stand aside."
Erestor shook his head.
" I will not."
Then Dinendal did something he would not normally do. He shoved Erestor aside and continued his walk, wincing slightly as he heard Erestor hit the ground and cry out in pain. Dinendal halted when he heard crying from behind him. He would not give into it. He had pushed Erestor far from him already and he would not let him any closer to his heart. Dinendal felt a tear fall from his eye. It was better this way, whether Erestor believed it or not.
TBC...
