A/N: I thought that I would get inspiration for more fic-writing *after* I saw The Two Towers. ut actually, my first lightbulg came *during* the movie, right there in the theatre. Maybe it was because the thought of all the women at Helm's Deep being ushered into the caves, deemed useless, really pissed me off. Maybe. Anyway, enjoy!
~* Introduction *~
"There is one passage. It leads into the mountains."
While the historical Battle of Helm's Deep was faught above ground, in the caves the women and children of Rohan waited. But what if some of the "Mountain Men" that Saruman set under his spell found that passage? What if they attacked the women and children, left there defenseless without a single weapon? What if they sent word to the Uruk-hai that there was a "back door" into Helm's Deep, making the already-impossible war two-fronted? And, finally, what if the only ones who could stop this from happening - and could stop the massacre of all the people of Rohan - were the "defenseless" women?
