The night carried on, close yet comfortable. Arwen shivered. In her blind panic to leave she had brought nothig to aid her on her journey, so at night, her lack of cloak was quite a disadvantage.
She had turned from the path many hours ago. If she travelled throught the forest, there was far less of a chance of meeting anyone. There was a rustling behind her. Then a crunching noise, as if something was eating. Arwen turned, ready to run if needs be. It was only a horse! However, the horse was saddled, yet riderless. People didn't just leave horses in the alone middle of a forest at night. As she drew nearer, she noticed the saddle was that from Minas Tirith. All their saddles were given distinctive markings. Who had let a horse from the palace out here, in the forest around Edoras?
As much as Arwen wished to avoid company, her curiosity was too strong. Where there was a horse, meant there was a rider. Carefully dismounting, Arwen led her own horse and this new one to the road. It was more likely the horse had strayed away, then been set loose. Still, maybe as thanks for returning it Arwen could have a little food. It was worth a try.
Something moved. Ever so sightly, but not with the wind. Running towards it, Arwen gasped. A woman lay face down on the ground. Collapsed. Although it was dark, she knew this person. Eowyn! Turning her around, and smoothing her hair, she lay the Stewardess back on the floor. Eowyn's cape was long. Arwen unfastened it, and lay it over Eowyn. At least she would be warm. The cuts on her face were full of dirt. Nothing she couldn't sort out though. Smiling sadly, Arwen though, At least there's one person I can help.
