Star-Crossed
Rainbow Haired Girl
Summary: Theolynn is the twin sister of Theodred and daughter of Theoden, cousin to Eomer and Eowyn. She goes to Rivendell where the meeting about the ring takes place. She sees her one that she is to marry, but she decides to team up with them. So instead of it being a 10th walker it is an 11th walker story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings. But I do own Theolynn and Elemmire.
Authoress Note: I know that I shouldn't be writing a new story, but this is a remake of Finding Love on the Battlefield. I took Aiwendil out of this story. She might have her own story later. It only seemed right to take Gandalf's daughter out of the remake of this story. I wanted it to make more sense in this story. But should I write one for just Aiwendil? I think I should, but it would be about the red witch's travels through Middle-Earth and being on adventures that she should have never been on. But I think I will do a story strictly for Aiwendil and maybe add in Elemmire in there, but I am not sure yet with Elemmire. Also I kind of made Theodred, Boromir, Faramir, and Theolynn younger than what they are supposed to be.
Ages for the ones I changed the ages for.
Boromir- 30 years old
Faramir- 27 years old
Theodred- 25 years old
Theolynn- 25 years old
But without further ado Star-Crossed.
Chapter 1
The Rohirrim Princess
A woman stood outside next to one of the Rohan flags. She wore a yellow gown, her blue eyes looking down over at the rough fields of Rohan. Rohan had begun to slip into darkness. Her blonde hair was tied back into a braid. She crossed her arms. Her father had begun to look older and frailer and there was nothing that she could do about it. The darkness should have never taken over him like that. Not ever, but whatever it was it had started taking hold of her father when Grima Wormtongue had showed up to be her father's speaker so to speak. The wind blew causing some of her blonde locks to fly into the wind that weren't that well in the braid.
Theodred came out and saw his sister standing there. He could tell by the way that she was standing that something was bothering her. He knew it was probably dealing with their father showing that he didn't care any more. His brown hair flew back into the wind as he walked up to his little sister. He put his hand on her shoulder.
The woman turned her head. Her blue eyes locking with his blue eyes. "Theodred…"
"You are thinking again. About what this time, Theolynn?" Theodred asked her, putting his finger under her chin to get her to look up at him.
She let out a sigh. "Someone must ride to Rivendell." She said softly. She pulled away from her brother and crossed her arms. "And father doesn't wish to send anyone out to go to this meeting."
Theodred let out a sigh. He should have known that Theolynn would be thinking of that when an elf had arrived named Elladan alerting them that Lord Elrond was holding a meeting about something very important and their father had decided against allowing anyone to go. He himself would go, but he needed to stay with the Mark. And the same way with their cousin Eomer. He rubbed his forehead knowing that needed to go to see what this meeting was all about. Without Grima Wormtongue knowing about them leaving. Theodred looked down at her and placed his hand on her yellow clad shoulder. "You should go." He told her.
"But…"
"No, buts Theolynn. You should go and represent us. Father won't go… one of us should. I can't leave the Mark unattended. Not when Eomer is the third in command of the Mark." Theodred was going to let his sister go. He had trained with her well and she knew what to do when she came in danger. He knew that she was going to be just fine on this quest.
Theolynn couldn't believe what her brother was asking her. He was asking her to leave Rohan to go to Rivendell. This meant that she would be leaving her father in the hands of Eowyn, Eomer, and Theodred. "And what of father?"
"He will be fine. He has me, Eomer, and Eowyn."
"And when he notices that I am gone? I am sure the Grima Wormtongue will surely lie about me. He will try to make me off as dead."
"Theolynn… you need to go. This has to be important if the Rivendell Lord sent his own son."
Theolynn looked down at the ground. Her mind was racing. Was she willing to leave Theodred behind to do this? She had to, if her brother was telling her to.
"You need to get changed and go." He told her. He brought her towards the door. He was going to have to get his sister out of here. He had seen many looks from Grima and it disturbed him greatly. He had seen that Grima was after both his sister and cousin. He took her inside and towards her room. "I will send Eowyn in."
Theolynn shook her head. "No…"
"No?" Theodred asked looking down at her.
"Eowyn and Eomer shouldn't find out about this Theodred. This is something that they will try to stop me from doing." She told her brother.
Theodred nodded his head. "I will prepare your horse in the stable. You get ready."
Theolynn hugged her brother before she disappeared into her room. She closed the door behind her and took a deep breath. She went to the wardrobe that was in her room and opened the doors of it. She ran her fingers over the fabrics of the gowns that were in there. So many beautiful dresses fitted for a princess like herself, even though she wished for less finer gowns. Her hands stopped at her travelling clothes. She pulled them out and heard a knock on the door. She went to the door and opened it. Theodred stood there with some chainmail in his hands. "Theodred what?"
Theodred handed her the chainmail. "It is lighter weight." He explained to her, as he watched her look over the chainmail that he had given to her. "It was mothers."
Theolynn looked up at him with wide eyes. Why would he give her mother's chainmail to her.
"It will give you the same protection it gave her when she was a shield maiden." He told her softly placing a hand on her shoulder. "I thought that it was wise to give it to you."
"I thought that you were going to prepare my horse?"
"I am going to be doing that now." He told her patting her lightly on the shoulder. "I thought that it was wise to give you mother's chainmail so you are at least protected from those who would try to attack you." His voice was laced with concern. He didn't want to lose his sister. He hoped that he would never lose her. He patted her on the shoulder again and then went to the stables to go and get her horse ready for departure.
Theolynn went inside and closed her door. She ran her fingers lightly over the chainmail that she held in her hands. She had to admit that this was something that she was not expecting. She didn't think that she was worthy of wearing the armor that was her mother's. But when she was handed it, she knew that her brother was trying his best to protect her since she was going alone and against her father's wishes. Well an empty shell of her father that was like a puppet to Grima.
She began to change out of the yellow gown to her corset and slip. She walked over to the wardrobe and began to pull her travelling clothes out. She placed them on the bed carefully. She pulled her slip off and grabbed the breaches that were brown in color. She slipped them on over her thin legs up to her waist and tied them quickly. She then grabbed the white tunic slipping it on over top of her yellow corset. She tied the ties to at least close it some so it wasn't so open. She put the chainmail on next.
It felt heavy on her body. She would have to learn to grow use to it that was for sure. She wasn't sure that it was going to be an easy task for her though to become use to something that was cold against the tunic that she wore. She quickly grabbed another tunic slipping it on over top of them hiding the chainmail that she wore. She then put her travelling cloak on over top of everything else. She slipped her boots on over her socks.
She grabbed her bag and began to put clothes into it. She knew that she was going to need it once she had reached Rivendell. She removed her hair from it's braid and redid it. She quickly grabbed her bag and left her room. Hopefully it would remain untouched while she was gone.
She walked through the not crowded hallways. It concerned her when the halls weren't as busy as they had use to be since Grima Wormtongue had arrived. It had made her sad that her father had sent them away as Grima began to turn your father into a shell of his former self. Nothing bothered your father any more. His heart was no longer there. He didn't care of what happened in his kingdom anymore like he normally had cared.
She went into the stables and let out a soft sigh when she saw that her brother was standing there holding onto the reins of her horse.
"Do you have weapons?" He asked her softly.
Theolynn shook her head. "I didn't want to go into the armory and have them ask me questions." She told him softly.
Theodred handed her the reins to her horse. He went somewhere for just a moment and came back with a bow and a quiver full of arrows and a sword. He gave them to her.
"Theodred…" She said softly locking her blue eyes with his.
Theodred smiled. "I kind of figured that I would have an easier time getting them for you." He said softly. He patted her lightly on the shoulder. "Be careful out there."
Theolynn put her bow and quiver on her shoulder making sure that she was able to remove her bow if she needed it bad enough. She tied her sword around her middle. She looked up at Theodred. "I will brother."
Theodred placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Ride hard. Rivendell is a long ways from here."
Theolynn nodded her head. "And you be careful here."
Theodred nodded his head. "I will sister."
Theolynn mounted her horse and looked down at him. "Tell Eowyn and Eomer that I am sorry."
Theodred nodded his head knowing what she had meant. "I will tell them. I am sure you'll be returning to us soon sister."
Theolynn nodded her head. "I promise you I will." She said, as she dug her heels into her horse's side to get her going. She was on her way now towards Rivendell in hopes to figure out what this important meeting was all about. She was leaving everything behind in Theodred, Eomer, and Eowyn's hands. Hopefully her father would return to a state that she loved more than anything and that was being himself again and not some shell.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
This is the end of chapter 1. Please let me know what you think of it. I know that I shouldn't have another story up, but sadly I do have writer's blocks on the others that is why I haven't been updating them and plus my mind has been racing with thoughts lately so it is harder for me to keep track of what story I want to write at the time. I am not mixing them up though which is a good thing. Hopefully I will be updating this story as well when I get the chance to. I will also be posting another new story shortly as well that will be called Loneliest of Hearts. I hope that you all enjoyed it and until next time.
