Chapter 40 - Sudden change

Idril frowned at his tone. "What do you think he was telling me about you and Kate, Feanor?" she countered. "What secret are you so scared of?"

"Tell me what he told you." Fenaor asked in the same voice.

"Nothing much. That you two dated but weren't suited for each other."

"That's all?"

"That's all." The mocking in Idril's voice was quite pronounced. Feanor looked at her hard. trying to see if she were hiding something but he relaxed after a few seconds. He gathered her to him and they started swaying to the music.

Idril laid her cheek against Feanor's cheek, enjoying the feeling. She closed her eyes.

After what seemed like a long time, she felt Feanor release a long sigh. Then she heard rumble.

"I don't want any misunderstandings between us. It is often the case that a relationship breaks up because of too many external influences. And with the kind of like I lead, it is all the more easy."

Idril lifted her face to look at him, "But I was talking to your brother. Don't you trust Peter?" she asked genuinely curious.

"I do trust him. But sometimes he can be a little.." he hesitated, "too funn loving. And doesn't care about the consequences."

"I see." Idril paused. "Then why don't you tell me what happened between you and Kate so I don't have to listen about it from any other people and misconstrue anything. You have to admit that the chances of it are high with so much of your family around." she shrugged matter of factly.

Feanor narrowed his eyes at her. "You already heard everything. What do you thin6k happened?"

"I don't think anything. But the way you and your brother behaving its a little suspicious." She mischievously. "Come on Frasier. Spill the beans. Or I might just go and ask Kate about it."

The softness of a few seconds before vanished completely. He pulled her closer and growled in his ears.

"YOU WILL STAY AWAY FROM HER."

Idril was taken aback by this total change. She stared dumbly at him.

Just as quickly Feanor's expression changed.

"I am sorry Idril. I didn't mean to frighten you. I am sorry."

Idril untangled herself from his arms. "What is wrong with you? What on earth happened between the two of you?"
