Taking the Haven

A/N: Sorry it's been so long! My muse left me! *pouts* But shes back now! Yea! Hope this chapter jives.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Eomer and Haldir had managed to avoid each other for three days while they prepared to take the haven. Legolas and Haldir had talked and things were settled between them. Legolas urged his mate to talk to Eomer and apologize for his behavior. Haldir had said he would but he hadn't as of yet. Tomorrow they would ride out and battle a nest of violent criminals and theives. Sighing Haldir grabbed a bottle of wine, two goblets as he walked toward Eomer's chamber. Knocking on the door he entered when Eomer bade him to. See saw the horse lord sitting in front of the fire reading. Looking up Eomer sighed when he saw who it was.

"I came to apologize for my rude behaviour three days ago. Will you accept my apology and have a drink with me?" Halir asked as he extended the glasses and wine.

Eomer smiled and patted the chair next to him. "Please sit Haldir...I accept your apology and offer my own. My words were out of line."

"Nay they were true. I do not know why I was jealous...." Haldir sighed and poured the wine. He handed a glass to Eomer.

"Jealousy is like that...unexplainable." Eomer smiled and took the offered wine.

Haldir smiled and settled back in the chair. "How have you been? How does Rohan fare?"

"Rohan is slowly rebuilding..I am fine." Eomer awnsered slowly.

"Is Faramir yet in Rohan? How does he fare?" Haldir asked worried.

"He is fine. Eowyn and He shall come here in a few days time. He is still weak from his injuries. He wanted to assist but he was not strong enough." Eomer smiled at the thought of his sister and the steward.

"Eowyn and Faramir?" Haldir smiled at this.

Eomer laughed and nodded at the look of shock on the elf's face. They sat and talked long into the night until Eomer went to bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning the combined forces of Rohan and Gondor rode out to the disputed area. When they arrived they saw two inn's and several run down cottages. When the men saw the armies coming they grabbed their arms to fight. The battle was long and ferocious. The criminals seemed to sense that it was over their haven would fall. At this they went mad and killed anything they could reach. Many men fell but soon it was over the haven had fallen but at a great cost. 20 Gondorians had fallen and 25 horsemen had fallen. Haldir searched franticaly for Aragorn and Legolas because he hadn't seen them since the battle started. He found Legolas but they could not find Aragorn. Fear gripped them as they searched and searched. They found him in the healing quarters attending to Eomer. Aragorn looked up and relief passed over him as he saw his mates were ok.

"What happened?" Haldir asked.

"He was ambushed by several criminals at once." Aragorn sighed and looked down at the battered, bloody body.

"Will he live?" Legolas asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Aragorn awnsered.

TBC.
