The return



The sun woke Caith up gently. She pushed her self up, leaning on her elbows. After a quick look around she noticed that the fever is gone and her wound on her shoulder was not hurting that much anymore. She felt that is was time for a bath, she asked the women's nearest the tent she was sleeping in. Immediately the started to talk fast and jump around, they seems happy she thinks. So they grab her arms and lead her in to one of the bigger houses and in there they started to prepared everthing. Someone was running to get water, some get new cloths and others showed her to a privet spot of the big room. There was the bathtub and a moveable wall to undress behind. Suddenly she was alone but she could hear some of them sit outside as guard she guessed. When she had got her dirty cloths off she looked at her bandage arm. She just shake her head, it could have been so much worse. I could have been dead. She shake that feeling off her and slowly slide in to the water. It was a feeling she have missed alot seens she left Bree. The water was hot to her skinn, she lower her head down under the water. She feel her whole body more and more feel relaxed. Gently she placed her hands to her stomach, she have a had time believe that inside her a little child is growing to be her own little baby, her and Milcrofts little baby. She stays in there for a hour before put on the new cloths and she now feel like a new person. After have discussed some payment for all this she pay them and walk back to her tent to get her stuff together seens she know it's time to head back. Suddenly she see Cen walking up to her. They start to discuss the trip, they decided it's best to gett going direct nd Cen have hired a horse to her. After he helped her up he start to lead the horse on the way home. Caith noticed there was something that bother Cen's mind and he started to tell her about his life. About this girl he meet and loved. It was a really sad story about how he needed to leave for training and when he came back she was nowhere to be found. She had took her life. If that ws not enough, someone had killed his father. He rage and killed all the bandits. Now he feel bad about all this, I can see why he did what ge did. I don't blame him. Suddenly under our trip someone screamed to us to stop and so we did. Behind us stud a man on a horse and at his side there was tree half-orcs. Cen started to taIk to the man. Caith got a feeling that this man means truble. He was not very polite ans wanted to know why we come to cross this land. After along discussion he wanted us to pay to continue. Caith feel her angry have raised and she told that man that they will not pay him not at all sèens he worked for the white hand. The fight was near to happened but suddenly the man change his mind and let us go for now and he left. "We better hurry though this land before he turn up again". Caith just nod and they hurried on. Later on that evening they arrived  to Echad Dúnann. The trip had been long and she was tired. Her body hurted and she was happy to ger off the horse back. They took a seat by the fire. The talk continued Cen was not ready to come back to Bree just jet, Caith tried to talk him over to followed her home bit he did not wanted to. But he asked if Caith could take some letters with her to give to Zandy. Of course she will do everything to help him. After a small and fast dinner they said good night. Caith fall a sleep directly she placed her head on the pillow. Shw woke up pretty late the day after. She woundering why Cen not had wake her up but after have walked around she realize he had left her alone. She found his bag bit not him but she understand he needed to be alone. She decided to stay there and wait fron Milcroft to come so she spent the day by the fire. People come and left as the day passed, when the darkness had start fall over the land she heard a horse and then someone landed on the ground. She turned her head around but the only thing that she could see was a dark figure coming up her way. "Caithrin.. is that you" It was Milcroft, he had finally arrived. She raise up on her feet to go meet him but she stopped just in front of him. She remembered he had not seen her pregnant and she had not told him before she left. But he was not mad he just kissed and huged her tight. They decided to leave pretty soon to go back to Bree. So they jumped back up on there horses and then they set off home to Bree. As soon they arrived at the house tears start to fill her eye's. She noticed how much he had already done to make this home work for them. He help her inside to change cloths seens armour is not that comfortable as a pregnant woman. Oh so much she have missed that, wearing dresses, the smell of the home and Milcroft of course. She walk back out to the big hall again. After s short while Mil came back out from his room aswell. She smiles as she se him coming. They talked a little before he did something Caith did not expected. He kneels down in front if her telling her how much she ment to him. He put out a small box out and in there she see a golden ring with a horsehead made of adamants and rubies, adamant some mane and the rubies as the skin of the horse, shappire as the eye. Caithrin could not hold the tears away. Her whole body was screaming yes when he asked her if she wanted to marry him. The love was flowing in that room at that piont. Life could not be better then this.
