Chapter 2

“Aragorn is there a reason why we have been sitting around waiting for thirty minutes. This meeting was supposed to start at eight right?”

“Yes, Legolas but we are still missing someone.”

“Who, everyone of importance is here?”

“Your brother isn’t here yet that is who, Boromir. I asked him to come this morning because I want to start including him in more of our meetings and get him involved in the council meetings.” Aragorn patiently explained.

“Why on middle earth would you want to do that, just leave him in the library that is all he is good for anyway? Trust me on this, Aragorn, he is worthle…..”

“Sire, I am so sorry, I am so sorry, I didn’t forget I just overslept which is no excuse at all. If you don’t want me here I will completely understand.”

“Faramir, what the hell is wrong with you, why I have half a mind to haul you in front of everyone and belt you like father would have if he were still here. My god little brother, are you ever going to grow up and stop embarrassing me.” While screaming this at Faramir he stomped over to him and grabbed him tightly on the upper arms and started shaking him. Whatever color was left in Faramir’s face was gone as soon as Boromir grabbed him and after last night he was trembling with his older brother yelling in his face so much.

“Boromir, I am sorry please forgive me, I did not mean to oversleep, please be lenient, please…” The last spoken please was spoken so softly that they all had to lean in to hear it. But the last please was enough for Aragorn to snap back from his shock and go break the brothers apart.

“Boromir, Faramir, stop everyone just calm down, okay I need to speak to Boromir and Faramir alone, everybody go take a breather. Come back in twenty minutes and we will start the meeting then.”

“Yes sire.”

“We will be back Aragorn.”

“Whatever you say sir”

With that everyone filed out of the room except the three of them and Faramir seemed to be on the verge of passing out. He was trapped in the office of the king with the king and his older brother by himself for at least twenty minutes. From what his brother had hinted at it last night who knows what damage they wanted to do to him and that was before he was a half hour late. He started shaking and sweating from the images in his head.

“Faramir, sit down before you pass out, and quit worrying you are not in trouble no matter what your brother says. This reminds me Boromir, last time I checked I was king so any yelling or touching anyone will be left to me. I understand that he overslept and it is not the big deal that you turned it into. Are we clear?”

“Yes sire, but I don’t think you understand the special discipline that Fara requires, my father understood that and he taught it to me. Otherwise Fara will walk all over you and I won’t allow anyone to take advantage of you sir.”

“Boromir, you worry about the troops and let me worry about Faramir and the rest of my people. And know this I will never allow any harm to befall any of them especially Faramir. Do you understand me this time?”

“Yes sir, perfectly.” Boromir was chastised and shooting glares at his brother behind Aragorn’s back.

Faramir was sitting in shock; the king had taken his side and had defended him, against his brother. He felt so safe here in Aragorn’s office even though his brother was here too. He had never felt this safe before in his life. But as good as it felt he knew it wouldn’t last, it couldn’t last because he knew that his evil minded brother would be visiting his room tonight and it would make last night’s visit seem like a walk on a beach compared to what would happen to him tonight.
