Chapter 14: don't underestimate her

I woke up two hours before dawn tears streaming down my face. I was angry, hurt but most of all I felt betrayed. I had warned them. They might be my loving playful brothers, yet there only flaw was keeping their mouths shut.

These were one of the reasons why I never told my brothers anything of importance, nor give them anything they could use against me. I made my way towards my closet to change into the clothes I had set out the night before. A midnight blue long sleeve shirt and dark green tights with dark grey flat lace up boots.

I stepped onto my balcony breathing in the cool morning breeze. Smirking I thought of the plan I had set in my mind the night before. My brother had seriously underestimated me this time. I grabbed my bow which was sitting against the inside wall of my room. I grabbed two arrows that were nearest to me and iced the time to an extra sharp point. Jumping onto my balcony railing I turned left towards the east wing and the first balcony I spotted was my brothers. Notting my iced tipped arrows both of them I took aim and let go.

With my abilities I put more force behind the speed and more accuracy to it. I knew where exactly it would hit Ro. I jumped off my balcony and quickly stepped into my room I heard a piercing scream roll through Imladris. I broke down crying.

Arwens POV:

I woke up to a piercing scream from what seemed to be Elrohir's room. I sat up shocked before realisation hit me. Scrambling out of bed I threw on a dress and the closest pair of shoes before racing out if the room. And I ran. Ran though the corridors trying to get to my sisters bedroom door. Everyone I passed stopped and stared. I burst through her door and took in the sight that greeted me.

There was my beautiful little sister, curled up in a ball on the floor tears falling freely down her cheeks. Slowly I made my way towards her trying not to startle her.

"Arya?" I asked softly sliding down the wall in order to sit next to her. She just sobbed harder. The wind had started to pick up in her room swirling around us.

"Arya?" I tried to get her attention. Placing my arms around her and her sobbing continued if not louder. Small specks of ice joined the wind as she was slowly losing control. Wind swept around us harsher and with more force.

"ARYA," I practically screamed pleading to her. Holding her in my arms I squeezed. That's seemed to gain her attention as her sobbing seemed to seze and the wind slowly died down.

I grabbed her face forcing her to look at me.

"Sister, what did he do to you," I whispered kissing her forehead and hugging her tightly.

"He betrayed my trust, he can't keep a secret. Why? His my brother?" she sobbed softly. I held her in my arms as she cried. The door opened and Hadril stepped into the room. Making his way towards us he cast me an understanding look. Crouching down next to Arya he whispered something to her. She nodded and I got up. Kissing her once more on the cheek I left her with Hadril. He had been her closest friend since she was and elfling and they held a certain understanding.

I made my way out of Arya's' room almost colliding with Dan. I gave him a piercing look, shook my head and grabbed his arm.

I motioned for him to fallow me and headed towards Elrohir's room. Upon entry I found Ada tending to my brothers leg. His face schooled and stone cold. He noticed us enter and finished rapping Elrohir's leg. With a bit more force than necessary. Ada shot me a smirk as he left the room.

I knew he couldn't do anything for Ro. That's the one thing about my sister's abilities only she could undo her power.

Walking up to him I slapped him full across the face.

"You're lucky to be alive. What the hell did you do?" I screamed in my mother tongue. Dan grabbed a hold of me seeing that I had raised my hand to strike my brother again.

"I..I.. I don't know," Ro said through clenched teeth. I could see the pain eminent upon my brother's face and I willed myself to calm down. I needed to be cool as I dealt with the situation between my siblings.

Sighing softly I sat down next to my younger brother and ran a hand fiercely through my hair.

"Please Ro I can help you if you don't tell me. You're also lucky that I could get through to her before she blew apart her room," I sighed as I watched my brother's eyes flicker from pain ridden to absolute disbelief. And after a few moments of silence Elrohir started to speak.

"I didn't mean to honestly Arwen it just slipped out. I hadn't realised how attached se was to the horse. They have a bond one I haven't seen her have with anyone but Hadril. It's amazing and I just thought he should know." Ro whispered softly.

I stared at my brother completely confused. Horse? Bond? Hadril? What?

Upon sensing my confusion my brother decided to clarify his story.

"Aravir, the prince's horse. His the most skittish animal I know but for some reason his formed a bond with our dear sister. He seems to always know wat she's feeling or thinking. And he comes to her willingly. I've never seen him do that."

Ah now it made sense. Everyone knew of Legolas's horse, the most skittish animal you would ever find but it seemed like my dear sister had formed a bond. A bond with the prince's horse for that matter.

I turned back to my brother anger now evident in my eyes and slapped him againsed the head.

" and you had to go and ruin it for her now Elrohir," I screamed switching to my mother tongue I lashed out," and when was the last time Arya ever, ever told anyone one of your secrets , and not the occasion where it saved your two idiot arses?" I asked as I saw Dan's mouth begin to open and I shook my head.

"Come up with an apology and come up with one fast you idiot because I'm not saving your arses this time and I'm passing the message on to Hadril too. You do realise why dear Hadril came to Imladris don't you?" noticing there confused looks I shook my head and stood up making my way towards the door.

" His come to ask her to go back with him to Lorien, he misses his best friend and thought that he could borrow her for a couple of years to serve as a Gard in the lady's forest. And I have a feeling out dear little sister will be taking up that offer if not to spend to with Hadril but to see Galadriel" I said stopping at Elrohir's door.

"So I'd make that apology really sincerer and quickly," I said before making my way out of Elrohir's door and towards the gardens to clear my head.
