Chapter 37--Confrontations
Celebrian swallowed hard. “I…I do not…” she began then stopped. “No, I will not lie. I was so…jealous, Erestor. When the bond was formed between you and my husband I remembered how sometimes two that share a bond usually become lovers as well. I could not get the thought out of my mind and it burned like the worst poison.”
“Do you think so little of my honor? Of Elrond’s? Always he has been loyal to you, my Lady. You insult us both and you know that Glorfindel and I are involved,” Erestor said.
“I know, but that still might have been the case. You could still be lovers to both as long as you were not bonded,” Celebrian said.
“Elrond is bonded to you. The Valor would be most displeased if he broke that. Elrond is like a father to me. There is only the bond of a father and son between us,” Erestor said.
Tears ran silently down Celebrian’s face. “I can only say that I am sorry, Erestor and beg you to forgive me. I was a blind fool and I did you a great wrong, please forgive me,” she sobbed.
“Forgive you I can though it will take some time, but I will not forget and I can not trust you as easily. It seems to me that I am not the only one who has been wronged. You also owe Elrond an apology,” Erestor said.
“Yes, and I also owe one to Glorfindel, he and his men were put in danger because of my actions. I will go to Elrond now, if you will excuse me, Erestor,” Celebrian said.
Erestor inclined his head politely then turned and left the garden. Breakfast would be served soon and he was hungry. The minute he entered the dining hall he was seized in strong arms and kissed breathless.
Glorfindel broke of the kiss and pulled back. “Good morning, love. I missed you,” he said.
“I just left you ten minutes ago!” Erestor protested. Blushing, he realized how many Elves were staring at them.
“Ten minutes is an eternity without you at my side, lirimaer,” Glorfindel declared passionately.
“Flirt,” Erestor snorted, trying not to laugh at Glorfindel’s theatrics. He didn’t need any more encouragement.
Meanwhile
Celebrian found Elrond in their chambers finishing braiding his hair. She closed the door and locked it.
Elrond looked over his shoulder and smiled. “You were up early today, my light. Are you well?” he asked. Finishing the braid he went to her and hugged her. He frowned in puzzlement when she pulled back.
“I need to speak to you, but I fear that you will hate me,” Celebrian said.
“It would take a lot for me to feel that way,” Elrond said, taking her hands in hers and squeezing gently.
“I fear this is a lot,” Celebrian said. Taking a deep breath, she plunged forward. “I was the one that allowed those men to take Erestor.”
Elrond stiffened. “What? You knew they had him?” he asked.
“Worse, I told them the best place to lay in ambush. I arranged it and paid them to take him,” Celebrian whispered.
Elrond dropped her hands as if they had burned him. “Do you know what you are saying? Do you know what you have done?” he asked. “Such a thing is a betrayal of one of your own kin.”
Celebrian sobbed. “Yes, Iam so very sorry,” she said.
“Why? Why would you do such a vile and cruel thing?” Elrond asked.
“I was angry and jealous of the bond. I thought the two of you were lovers. It often happens when such a bond is formed. You know this is true, Elrond,” Celebrian pleaded. “All I can say is I am sorry. I have already told Erestor. Please Elrond, I love you. Forgive me, I beg of you.”
“I…must be alone to think on this. I can not speak with you now,” Elrond said. He left the room without looking back.
Alone, Celebrian sank to the floor, sobbing in grief. She was sure she had lost everything she had treasured.
I kind of feel sorry for her. This was a bit hard to write. Some feedback would be nice…Hint, hint!
Happy Holidays everyone!
