Chapter 16:
Princess Arwen and Travis arrived at Helms Deep without any trouble. Travis was currently in the armory of Helms Deep, keeping out of sight from anyone that might know him. Or keeping out of sight from Princess Arwen. Travis was sharpening his dual blades in the armory, when Princess Arwen all of a sudden came into the armory.
"I wasn't sure that it was you, but now I am sure." Said Princess Arwen.
Travis stopped sharpening his dual blades and turned around to face Princess Arwen. He was shocked to see her again. However, as much as he was happy to see her, he could tell that she didn't feel the same way. She had a serious and angry expression on her face. Travis was confused, but when he looked down at her right hand he saw her holding his black cloak.
"Where did you get that?" Replied Travis.
"I found it in your bag. When we arrived I was happy to see you, but I couldn't help but notice the cloak. The cloak I saw a figure in at Rivendell." Said Princess Arwen.
Travis lowered his head and looked down at his hands. He was busted. Princess Arwen found out who he was so he prepared himself for the worst.
"You are a servant of Sauron aren't you? You have been the one following the fellowship all this way." Replied Princess Arwen.
Travis nodded his head. He looked at Princess Arwen, as a tear fell down his face. Princess Arwen took a torch from the wall and walked over to a large bowl, that was laid down on the floor. She threw his cloak into the bowl and lit it on fire with the torch. Travis was confused. What is she doing?
"I don't believe that the Travis I met in Rivendell and the one who saved my life can possibly work for Sauron. You see, I think that you are lost and you don't know what to do, so you follow his orders because you don't know what else to do." Said Princess Arwen.
"It's not that simple Arwen." Replied Travis.
"Why not?" Said Princess Arwen.
"Sauron is my father. When I was little, he found me abandoned on the road, so he took me in." Replied Travis.
Princess Arwen looked even more shocked than she was before. She slowly approached him. She was face to face with him. Travis looked up into her eyes, and tears were falling down his face. Travis then rested his head on her shoulder.
"It's okay, Travis." Said Princess Arwen.
He then stopped crying and looked at her. Travis then wiped the tears away from his eyes.
"Promise me that you won't tell anyone about this. If they find out I am as good as dead." Replied Travis.
"How is this going to work for you, Travis? What are you gonna do when the orc's gets here?" Said Princess Arwen.
"Promise me." Replied Travis.
Princess Arwen put her hands on his shoulders. She pulled him closer to her. It wasn't long before she kissed him long and passionately on the lips and Travis wrapped his arms around her brown ponytail and waist to further deepen the kissing between them.
"I promise." Said Princess Arwen.
