January 31, 2014
When I was 2 years old I was taken from my preschool and taken out of the country I was very scared when I was placed in a small cage. After about 2 in half days I was sold to Doctor Douglas Sousuke. "What is your name?" Douglas asked as we walked out of the building. "Bri-Bridgette" I said scared as to what is going to happen to me.
After we walked out of the building we got into his car. After a few hours of driving we came to a stop in front of iron gates which surround the Hospital. I bit my lip as the iron-gate open and Doctor Sousuke drove through.
Once the car pulled to a stop there were 3 nurses standing there we got out of the car. "Bridgette this Nurse Nuka, Nurse Yuri, and Nurse Vitani" Doctor Sousuke said "Nice to meet you" They all said
"Nurse Yuri please take Bridgette to room 309, I want blood work done as well as height and weight" Doctor Sousuke said "Yes Doctor" Yuri said taking my hand leading me into the Hospital.
After all the test where done Doctor Sousuke and 2 strong men walked into the room. "Please hold her still" Doctor Sousuke ordered once the 2 men grabbed my shoulders and ankles I tried to struggled to get free but it was no use they were too strong.
"Now this will only hurt for a few hours" Doctor Sousuke said as he put IV catheter into my arm after a few minutes I saw a neon green liquid started to go through the tube.
Once it got to my vain it felt like I was on fire and I screamed in pain. For the next few hours I was in so much pain that I don't remember anything but the pain. I must have passed out because all I remember is Doctor Sousuke coming in to check on me.
After a few minutes Doctor Sousuke come into the room and told me what he did to me last night and said we will be training for a the next few months. I was shocked when Doctor Sousuke told me I can transform into a lion.
For the next 3 years Doctor Sousuke and his staff trained me to use my animal instincts and to hunt. One night while I couldn't sleep I was suddenly surround by a blinding blue/white light and felt was being pulled into the light after a few seconds I passed out.
Middle-Earth in Rivendell with Aragorn, Elladan and Elrohir
Aragorn and his foster brothers were talking quietly in the garden when a bright blue/white light blinded them it didn't last long and once it faded they saw a young child lying a few feet away from them.
They looked at each other before Aragorn got up and walked toward the child but stopped when the child started to move. I woke lying on soft grass I sat up and looked around and my eyes widen when I saw 3 men looking at me and without thinking I transformed into my lion cub ripping my dress to shreds.
I backed away from them scared that they will hurt me just like Doctor Sousuke. After a few minutes I heard the sound of footsteps coming toward us making me even more scared than I already was.
"Estel what should we do?" Elladan asked Aragorn thought about it for a few seconds before he spoke "I'll take her to my chambers" Aragorn said as he picked up the young cub that started to tremble and whimper quietly.
Once to his chambers he placed the young cub on his bed and covered the young cub with the blanket at the end of his bed. After a while I started to fall asleep I curled up into a ball and fall asleep.
Aragorn was very confused as to what happened in the garden he has never seen anyone transform into animals. Aragorn sighed as he picked up a book and started to read it.
After a few hours of reading there was a knock on his door he put his book down and walked toward his door and opened it he smiled when he saw it was his brothers.
"How is the little one doing?" Elladan asked "She is asleep" Aragorn said quietly looking at his bed which the cub had changed back into a human. "It is strange how is she able to transform" Elrohir asked
"I know not we'll have to ask her when she awakens" Aragorn said they talked for a little bit before the twins went to bed. Aragorn yawned as he also got ready for bed.
Aragorn grabbed a pillow and blanket from the chest at the end of his bed. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the child fast asleep. He walked over to the couch and lied down.
Aragorn woke up early the next morning a little sore from sleeping on the couch. Aragorn sat up running a hand through his hair. Aragorn's head snapped to his bed when he heard the child move but didn't wake up.
Aragorn grabbed his cloths before he walked into the bathroom. After Aragorn walked out of the bathroom he saw that the child had just woken up. She was very small for her age.
"Hello little one" Aragorn said making the child's head snap up toward him with wide eyes. "Wh-who are yo-you? Where am I?" I asked scared "My name is Aragorn and you're in Rivendell, can you tell me your name?" Aragorn asked
"Bri-Bridgette" I said then I told him what happened to me. I jumped when there was a knock on the door. Aragorn walked toward the door and opened it. "We bright the child some clothes" A soft male voice said "Thank you Ell" Aragorn said as he let 2 older men walk into the room.
"Bridgette this is Elladan and his twin brother Elrohir my older brothers" Aragorn said "It's nice to meet you" They both said "Ni-nice to me-meet you too" I said nervously.
A week has passed since I found out I was in Middle-Earth and I have meet Aragorn's foster father Lord Elrond who was not happy to find out they had not told him they found a child in the garden but when they told him what happened to me Elrond was shocked and said it was fine that I stay here.
9 years has passed and I just turned 14 years old I'm 5'1 with long curly dark brown hair which I keep up in a pony-tale. I have learned a lot about Middle-Earth and I even speak Elvish. I even learned how to use bow and arrows as well as a sword.
About a month ago I noticed a few strangers come into Rivendell. I walked toward the library to get a new book to read. As I walked toward the library I said hello to a few of the elves I know.
I smiled as I opened the door and walked inside I put back the book I finished reading last night then I picked up a new one. "Hello Haleth" Aragorn's voce come from my right making my head snap toward his direction.
I smiled "Hello Aragorn sorry if I disturb you I'll leave" I said turning around but stopped "You can stay I don't mind the company" Aragorn said I walked over to the bench and sat next to him I opened the book as did Aragorn silence fell over the library.
For a while we stayed in the library until Elladan came into the library to tell us that dinner was ready. I closed my book and put it back where it belongs and followed them out of the library.
Once there I saw a lot of different races there each of them in their own group. I smiled at Arwen who smiled back I sat next to Lord Erestor. The room was filled with a lot of talking each of them in their own language.
I laughed as I listened to Elladan story about them pranking Aragorn and Legolas who I meet a few times he was nice. After a while I couldn't help feel eyes on me I looked to my left to see a man from Gondor looking at me he raised his glass in my direction I frowned slightly there was something about him I didn't like.
After another hour I deiced to head to my room I said good night to my friends before I walked toward my room. Once there I changed into my Pj's and went to bed. Around midnight I woke up from a nightmare I took a deep breath before I got out of bed I got undressed before I transformed into my lion form which was now stronger and fully grown.
I smiled as I jumped from my balcony landing on one of the oak tree branches and climbed down. I headed toward my favorite spot in the garden it was next to the waterfall.
Once there I saw Aragorn and Arwen talking on the bridge I hid behind the bushes listing to them talk. After a few minutes I fell asleep listening to their voices. I woke up with the sun shining in my face I yawned and stretched before I ran back to my room.
I climbed the oak tree and jumped onto my balcony I transformed back and walked into my bathroom to bath then I got dressed. Then I pulled my hair up into a high ponytail.
Then I walked toward the stables to see the horses I smiled as a few of them walked toward me. I started to pet them after a few hours I walked back to the house heading toward the garden.
As I walked toward my favorite spot once there I lied down on the grass. After a few hours I started to fall asleep. I must have fallen asleep because I felt my shoulder being shaken lightly.
I opened my eyes to see Aragorn standing over me I smiled up at him as I sat up he sat next to me. It was quite for a while until Aragorn spoke "I'll be leaving for a few months" Aragorn said
"But you just got back" I said frowning then Aragorn placed his hand on my shoulder "I know but this is something I have to do and don't worry I'll be fine." Aragorn said
It became quite for a while until Arwen came to talk to Aragorn. I said bye to them before I headed toward my room. I took off my dress and transformed into my lion form I pushed open my balcony door and jump onto one of the oak tree branches and jumped down.
I headed toward a secret river I found one day when I was looking for some place quite. Once there I lied under the tall tree next to the river. I stayed there until it was dark I sighed as I headed back to my room.
Once back to my room I changed back into my human form and got dressed for bed. I woke up early the next morning I bathed and got dressed then I headed down the stairs to walk around the garden.
I smiled as I walked around the garden before I went back inside to eat breakfast. After breakfast I asked Elrond if I could talk to him and I followed him toward his study.
"I would like to go with Aragorn" I said Elrond frowned "No it is too dangerous and you are too young to go on this kind of journey" Elrond said firmly "But I can help protect them" I said
For the next hour we argued until I finally agreed that I would not follow them and that I was to stay in the valley. I growled as I walked back to my room making a few of the elf's look at me but I did not care.
Once back to my room I wasn't surprised to see the twins there they would come and talk to me often if something was on their minds. "What is wrong Haleth?" Elrohir asked
I sighed before I told them what happened "I know but Ada is only protecting you from the danger that will surly fallow on the journey and you are too young to fight in this war" Elladan said placing his hand on my shoulder.
I thought about what Elladan had said and he was right I would only be in the way. "Your right I just hope they will be ok" I said than it become quite for a few minutes before Elrohir spoke "Come on let's do a prank on Lord Erestor and I have the perfect one" Elrohir said grinning as did Elladan which made me smile a little.
We planned the prank and got everything ready. It was late at night and the twins and I were walking toward Lord Erestor's room. They opened the door quietly and we walked inside and we each took our places.
I smirked as I switched his shampoo with blue hair dye it was the same bottle after that I helped with the last of the prank. Then we left Erestor's room heading back to my room. "He will be mad when he finds out it was us" Elrohir said
"True but it will be worth it. I wonder how he will look with blue hair" I said making the twins laugh which made me laugh with them. After a few hours we all fell asleep.
We woke up hearing Erestor scream that echoed through the valley. We walked over to the balcony and looked out to see Lord Erestor coming toward my room. We could see his hair was dark blue and was wet from the bucket of ice cold water that was perched on top of his door.
We tried to hold in our laughter but it come out and we all doubled over laughing that was until Erestor saw us. "You three get down here now!" Erestor yelled making us stop laughing "You look good with blue hair Lord Erestor" I said making him glare at me.
We ran out of my room and followed him toward Lord Elrond's study were he yelled at us for a few hours than Lord Erestor took us to the library where we had to clean the library.
For the next few hours the twins and I cleaned the library putting away books as well as dusting the shelves. It was about noon when we finished cleaning the library.
Then Lord Erestor came in with Lord Glorfindel each of them were hold a tray with food on it. "We brought you your lunch" Erestor said placing it on the desk we put away the last few books before we walked over to the desk.
"When you are done eating you can leave" Erestor said we nodded our heads then it became quite as we ate our lunch. After we were done eating we walked out of the library.
"Well that was a lot of fun who else can we prank?" I asked making the twin's laugh "Well Aragorn and Legolas leave tomorrow we should give them a parting prank" Elrohir said grinning
"What do you have in mind?" I asked as we walked into my room we talked for a few hours before we finally agreed on what prank we wanted to use on them. It was around 2 in morning when the twins came into my room with all of the things will need for the prank.
Then Elrohir and I went to Legolas's room while Elladan went to Estel's room. After we were done we meet up in the hallway and went to our rooms to get some sleep.
I woke up a few hours later hearing 2 sets of screaming down the hall. I laughed knowing that both Legolas and Aragorn have fallen for our pranks. I jumped out of bed when I heard my name along with the twin's names being called.
I quickly changed and opened the door only to see an angry Legolas with wet hair and clothes as well as feathers in his hair. I tried to hold in my laughter but it come out I was laughing so hard I had tears at the corners of my eyes.
After a few minutes I took a deep breath before I was able to breathe normally. I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes. I looked up to see that Legolas was still glaring at me.
"Come Lord Elrond wishes to speak with you" Legolas said as he gently took my arm and lead me out of my room and down the hall. It was quite as we walked toward Elrond's study.
I bit my lip as we came closer to Elrond's study. Legolas knocked on the door before we walked inside I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from laughing when I saw Estel with blue feathers in his hair which was wet as well as his clothes.
After a few minutes I took my hand away from my mouth trying not to laugh but a chuckle escaped and soon I was holding my sides gasping for breath. "Enough" Elrond yelled making me stop laughing.
"How many times do I need to yell at you three for doing pranks? Elladan and Elrohir you are old enough to know not to do pranks" Elrond said Elladan and Elrohir looked at each other before they could speak I cut them off "It wasn't their idea to prank Legolas and Estel it was mine and I will take responsibility for my actions" I said looking at Elrond in the eyes
After a few minutes Elrond spoke "Very well, Elladan, Elrohir, Estel and Legolas you may leave I wish to speak with Bridgette alone" Elrond said after they left Elrond sighed "Please have a seat" Elrond said after a few minutes I took a seat in front of his desk.
It was quiet for about 15 minutes before I spoke "What is going to happen to me when you and your kin leave for Valinor?" I asked it has been bothering me since Elladan told me that they will miss me when they leave for Valinor.
Elrond frowned at the question he was going to wait until the right time to talk to Bridgette about that. "You will be taken to Gondor once Aragorn becomes King" Elrond said
We talked for an hour before I left heading toward my room. Once there I packed a small bag before I took off my clothes and changed into my lion form before I took the bag in my mouth.
I walked toward my balcony and jumped onto one of the old oak tree branch before I climbed down heading toward my favorite spot in the garden. Once there I placed my bag on the ground before I changed into my human form before I walked toward the river and stepped into the cold water.
With Elladan and Elrohir
Elladan and Elrohir were surprised that Bridgette would take the blame for the prank and they deiced to go see if she was alright. Once to her door they knocked the door and after a few seconds of waited for her to answer they opened her door and walked inside.
They looked around to see that she was not there "I wonder where she went?" Elrohir asked "Most likely somewhere in the gardens" Elladan said as they walked out of Bridgette's room.
After looking for an hour they finally heard the sound of Bridgette's singing voice. They followed it into a more secluded part of the garden. They pushed back the low hanging tree branch out of the way and they gasped when they saw Bridgette swimming in the river.
I looked up when I heard 2 gasps and I my eyes widen when I saw the twins standing there after a few seconds they turned around. "We are sorry" They both said at the same time.
I got out of the river and grabbed my towel out of my bag and wrapped it around myself. "It's alright" I said pulling on my dress "You can turn back around" I said drying my hair.
They slowly turned around both of them blushing "What brings you here?" I asked pulling my brush from the bottom of my bag and I started to brush out my hair. "We wanted to know why you took the blame" Elrohir asked after a few minutes I smiled at them "Because I didn't want you to get yelled at besides I had a question to ask Elrond" I said
We talked while I brushed my hair then we back to the house. After a few weeks I was called into Elrond's study. Once there I knocked on the door before I walked inside to see 2 other elves from Lothlorien.
"You wanted to see me Lord Elrond" I said Elrond smiled slightly but faded to a frown "Bridgette this Melethron and Raumo from Lothlorien. I would like you go with them to Rohan" Elrond said
"But you said I wasn't…" I stopped talking when he held up his hand "I know what I said before but you are strong enough and a great strategist they will need you to win this war. You will leave in the morning" Elrond said
"I understand I'll go pack" I said before I walked out of his study. "Lord Elrond, are you sure about this. The other men will not take lightly to a woman among to their ranks" Raumo said
Elrond frowned deeply "Yes I'm sure Bridgette is right for this mission. She is different from anyone I know." Elrond said they talked for a little while before they went to bed.
I wake up early the next morning I bathed and I got dressed into my leggings and tonic then I braided my hair so it would stay out of my face. I even grabbed my bow and arrows that Elladan gave me as well as an elven sward that Elrohir gave me.
As I grabbed my bag there was knock on my door "Come in" I said after a few seconds the door opened and Elrond and Glorfindel walked inside. "Are you ready to leave?" Elrond asked
"Yeah" I said "I wanted to give you this before you leave" Elrond said as he pulled out a beautiful necklace from his robes. "Wow it's beautiful. Thank you" I said putting it on.
"I also have something for you it's from Lord Erestor and me" Glorfindel said as he handed me a dagger with my elvish name carved in the handle. "Thank you" I said added it to my belt next to my sward.
Then we all walked out of my room heading toward the courtyard were Melethron and Raumo are waiting for me. Elladan helped me up on my horse. "Thanks Elladan" I said
"Have a safe journey and be careful" Elladan said "I will" I said then we left. After a few days we stopped to rest it was nice to get off my horse I was starting to get sore.
"You guys don't talk much do you" I asked as I took my weapons off but I kept them close by just in case. They looked at each other before Melethron spoke "We were wondering why Lord Elrond chose you?" Melethron asked
I sighed "Well, I'm not from his era I was born on September 28, 1989 when I was 2 years old I was kidnapped by slave dealers and sold to Doctor Douglas Sousuke who did an experiment on me it was painful as my bones reshaped themselves after I wake up the next morning Doctor Sousuke told me I could transform into a lion so for the next 3 years Doctor Sousuke and his staff trained me to use my lion senses until one night a bright white/blue light covered me and it sent me here where I lived in Rivendell for the past 9 years." I said
"Can you show us?" Raumo asked I thought about it for a few seconds before I spoke "Sure, but can you turn around" I said they looked at me with raised eyebrows I shrugged my shoulders I took off my necklace and put it my bag before I transformed into a lion ripping my clothes to shreds.
I could tell they were shocked I walked toward them and sat next to Melethron. After a few minutes Melethron started to pet my head. After about 30 minutes I started to hear growling a mile away.
I turned my head sniffing the air after a few minutes the smell of wet dog reach my noise and I knew it was a warg and it was getting closer. I started to growl making Melethron stopped petting my head.
"What is it?" Melethron asked I pointed my paw toward the warg that about 4 feet away from us. Before Melethron and Raumo could do anything I ran toward the warg meeting it head on.
I amid for his neck killing it then I walked back toward Melethron and Raumo. "We get moving we have lingered here to long" Raumo said grabbing everything I transformed back into my human form I quickly got dressed and grabbed my weapons and putting on my necklace before I put my bag over my shoulder.
We got on our horses and continued riding toward Edoras. After about 3 days we were there. We rode through the city until we reached the top and we got off our horses.
I smiled when I saw Estel walk out of the castle and hugged me. "It's good to see you again Estel" I said "What are you doing here" Aragorn asked "Lord Elrond sent us to help" Raumo said
"But I thought Lord Elrond forbid you to leave the Valley" Estel said "I guess he changed his mind he said I would be a great help with the war." I said shrugging my shoulders.
I was about to ask a question when someone spoke. "And who are you" A new voice asked "King Théoden this is Lady Bridgette from Rivendell and Raumo and Melethron from Lothlorien" Estel said
"It's nice to meet you milord" I said bowing as did Raumo and Melethron. Then Aragorn told us that they are going to Helms Deep. I frowned, I have heard about Helms Deep before and I know it's going to be hard to defend but I will help anyway I can.
After a while the city was empty and we were slowly making our way to Helms Deep. I watched as 2 of the solders rode up a head. After a few minutes Aragorn come running back to his horse yelling we were under attack.
I got on my horse "Lady Bridgette stay with the others" Raumo said "No I can fight you can't stop me" I said riding my horse forward I grabbed my bow and once over the hill I started to kill the Orc and Wargs.
After a few minutes I jumped off my horse and started to us my sword. After a while the battle was over I looked around. "Aragorn!" Gimli yelled and after a few minutes Legolas found Aragorn's necklace and walked over to the cliff.
And I know he was gone but I will not give up on him. Once to Helms Deep I helped a few of the wounded men off their horses. Then I cleaned my weapons after a few minutes Lady Eowyn walked toward me.
"Lady Bridgette can I speak with you" Eowyn asked "Sure" I said putting away my sward and then I started to work on my dagger. "Why didn't you stay when Raumo told you to?" Eowyn asked
"Well in my era women can join the army and women have rights to do what they want." I said "What do you mean you are not from this era?" Eowyn asked confused I sighed before I told her how I get here.
She was shocked when I told her my story. "You are so young why are fighting in this war?" Eowyn asked I smiled at her "Because this is my home and I will fight for those I love besides I know a lot about strategies that will help with the war." I explained
We talked for little bite until she left. I deiced to look around but as I headed toward the keep one of the solders told me the king wanted to speak with me.
I sighed as I walked toward the king in the hall. Once there I bowed to the king "You wanted to speak with me" I said King Théoden looked up at me "Yes, from now on I want you stay with the women when the war starts" Théoden said
I frowned deeply "You can't stop me from fighting in this war just because I'm woman don't mean I'm helpless I have every right to fight for those I love. I trained hard to get the respect from the male elves in Rivendell even Lord Elrond let me train with them. I will not stand by and let all my hard work go to waste" I said before I walked away leaving a shocked Théoden behind.
"You shouldn't talk to the king that way" Legolas voice come from behind me I narrowed my eyes "I don't care he's not the boss of me I can fight just as good as any man besides I want to fight next to my friends and if I got hurt or killed it will be my fault because I chose to be in this war" I said
"You are very wise Lady Bridgette and I will be happy to have you fight with us" Legolas said I smiled at him "Thanks, It's in my star sign to be wise" I said I laughed when Legolas gave me a confused look.
"We also call it a Zodiac sign there are 12 Zodiac signs there is Aires, Taurus Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces each sign is different it depends on what month, day and year you were born in I was born on September 28, 1989 so I would be a Libra the symbol is the scales" I said then I went on explaining it for a few more minutes before I walked outside to get some air.
I sighed as I watched the sun started to set. After a few minutes there was someone coming toward us and know it was Estel I ran down the stairs and moving past people.
"Are you alright Estel?" I asked looking at him but he nodded his head. I chuckled when I saw Gimli hug him. "Gimli where is the king" Aragorn asked and Gimli nodded his head toward the keep.
After that I didn't see him until I heard the horn and I walked toward to see what was going on and I was surprised to see warrior elves from Lothlorien as was the king.
After a few minutes we all were standing around the outer wall waiting until the war started. I was standing next to Haldir and Raumo. "You shouldn't be here Lady Bridgette" Raumo said making a few of the other elves look at us.
I rolled my eyes "I get the point women in this era don't fight in wars. I do have the right to fight for those I love. I would rather die fighting then live as a cowered knowing I could do something" I said
After a few minutes Aragorn walked toward us and stopped next to me. "Don't even say anything" I said making Aragorn chuckle "I known for a long time Lady Bridgette and we could use your help to win this war" Aragorn said
Then he walked away to his place at the wall. Then the rain stared to fall as the Uruk-hai army could be seen when the lighting flashes. Then the battle started I killed a lot of them but more would replace the fallen ones.
After a few days we lost a lot of men and elves. Then the wall exploded and I stumbled backward as pieces of the wall come down on us. I cried out when one of the pieces landed on my right leg.
"Shit" I said as I moved the piece of ruble off my leg my eyes widen when I saw a few Uruk-hai come toward me but they were killed by Raumo. "Thanks man" I said
"Come on let's get you inside. Can you walk?" Raumo asked "I think so" I said standing but my right gave out and Raumo caught me. Then we walked toward the keep were everyone was heading.
Then Raumo placed me down the floor he ripped some of my cloak and wrapped my leg. After that day I was told to stay with the women even though I protested that I can help but Raumo was right with my leg I wouldn't be able to fight not even in my lion form.
"Fine" I said as one of the woman helped into the cave. "Thank you" I said as she placed me on the floor. "Your welcome" She said before she walked away to her family.
After a few hours we were back at Edoras and we were all drinking. I sighed as I watched everyone from my place in the back. "How is your leg?" Estel asked as he come toward me I smiled at him "It's fine" I said we talked for a few minutes until Legolas and Gimli come over.
"What do your people in your era do for parties?" Estel asked I smiled "There are a lot different types of games. There's 7 minutes in heaven, beer pong, spin the bottle and truth or dare, and more" I said then I explained what each game was.
"We sometimes have singing competitions at parties" I added "Can you sing for us?" Merry asked as he and Pippen come over to us who I met a few hours ago. "I don't like to sing in front of people" I said
"Aww come on bet you have a great voice" Pippen said pouting I laughed lightly "Fine just one song and I have the perfect one" I said "Can you help stand Estel" I added Estel nodded his head helping me to my feet.
"This song is our National Anthem from my era it's called The Star Spangled Banner" I said I placed my hand over my heart.
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
After I was done everyone was staring at me with shock on their faces then they all cheered and yelled at do another song. So for the next few hours I sang different songs from my era.
"Alright I'm going to bed now" I said letting Eowyn lead me to my room. "Thanks Lady Eowyn" I said as she helped me into my bed. "Your welcome Lady Bridgette" She said before she walked out of my room.
After 2 days we are on our way to help Gondor and I smiled as I listened to Merry's story but I could tell he missed Pippen. "Lady Bridgette can you sing for me I really want to hear your beautiful voice" Merry asked making the other men look at me with grins on their faces even Estel had a grin on his face.
I shook my head "Sure" I said smiling at him "This song is called this is War by 30 Seconds to Mars" I said
A warning to the people,
The good and the evil,
This is war.
To the soldier, the civilian,
The martyr, the victim,
This is war.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A warning to the prophet,
The liar, the honest,
This is war.
To the leader, the pariah,
The victor, the messiah,

The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight!

After I was done singing everyone started to ask me to do another song. "Alright this one is called A Warrior's Call by Volbeat" I said

After I was done with that song one of the soldiers asked who Mikkel Kessler was as well as what a Vikings and Gladiators was. So I explained what they are. "Your era is very interesting Lady Bridgette" Merry said
I smiled at him so for the next few hours I talked about my era. I mostly talked about the wars that took place and the history of my era. I even told them about the different religions in my era.
"What religion are you Lady Bridgette?" Merry asked "I'm catholic but after what I have gone through I lost hope that I would be free from Doctor Sousuke's hands and when I thought no one was going to find me I found myself engulfed in warm light and I ended up in your era" I said "I'll see ya later Merry" I added ruffing his hair before I walked toward my tent.
Once to my tent I took off my weapons and my necklace putting in my bag then I took off my dress before I transformed into my lion form that's when I heard a gasp behind me.
I turned around to see Merry and Lady Eowyn standing there. 'Shit' I thought I walked over to the bed and pulled the cover off and over myself before I transformed back into my human form.
"Let me explain" I said before I told them what happened to me. "How could anyone do that to a child?" Eowyn asked I sighed "There are a lot of cases with child abuse there are shelters for abused children as well as for adults who have been abused" I said then I went on explaining different types of abuse.
Then Merry and Eowyn left my tent. I got redressed and put on my necklace before I walked out of my tent that's when I noticed Estel, Legolas and Gimli were gone. I looked around and noticed horse tracks leading toward the mountain pass and I know they went there.
I just hope they will be safe. I walked around the campsite for a little bit before I went to bed.
I woke up before dawn and I got everything pack and ready to leave. I walked over to my horse and smiled he was beautiful chestnut colored horse. I started to brush him and got him ready to leave.
"Good morning Lady Bridgette" Eomer said "Morning" I said "You know you should stay here where it's safe." Eomer said I sighed "I wish everyone would stop telling me what I should do as I said before I have the right to fight for those I love even though I'm a women I am stronger than any man. For most of my life I was treated like one big experiment being told what to do. When I come to this era I was finally free to what I wanted doing pranks with Elladan and Elrohir learning more about Elves and other races in Middle-Earth. Besides I'm a great strategist" I said
"That may be true but you're still a woman and here we value our women and keep them safe with our lives" Eomer said I growled at him my temper was fairing and my lion wanted to rip him apart but I calmed her than an idea came to my mind "How about we fight each other if I beat you I get the respect I deserve and I get to fight in the war" I said
"No I will not fight you. You could get hurt" Eomer said "Are you scared I will beat you" I said after a few minutes Eomer spoke "Alright but if I win you will stay here" Eomer said I smirked at him holding out my hand which he took and shook it. "Deal" I said
We walked a few feet away from my tent. "We will have 2 rounds whoever gets other sward away wins" Eomer said pulling out his sward as did I swinging it around in my hand before gripping the handle.
Eomer watched as Bridgette swung her sward around she was confident in beating him. "Begin" Eomer said we both stared at each other before I deiced to make the first move making him block my move.
For the next few minutes we block each-others attacks and after about 39 minutes I had gotten Eomer's sward out of his hands with my blade at his neck. I smirked taking my blade away from his neck.
"You are very good who taught you to use a sward" Eomer asked as he picked up his sward again.
"Lord Glorfindel taught me as well as Lord Elrond's twin sons taught me when Lord Glorfindel was busy" I said "Shall we move on to the next round " I asked making Eomer laugh.
The second round took a lot longer than the first but I finally got his sward away. "How did you do that?" Eomer asked as I helped him up "As I said before I know how to fight better than anyone" I said
"Well than you have my respect Lady Bridgette but please, be careful out there" Eomer said "You as well Eomer" I said before I walked away getting on my horse. Once the sun rose we all were on the way to Gondor.
I made sure I was blending in with the others so the king wouldn't notice me. After the kings speech we road toward the enemy and I killed a lot of them. After a while a green blur covered everything.
I looked around then heard someone yell and I ran toward the sound and found Eomer holding his sister. I was surprised to see her there. I walked toward him "I'm sorry Eomer, if I had known she was going to do anything like this I would have stopped her or protected her" I said my voice breaking slightly then saw Pippin wander away calling Merry's name after a few minutes he found him.
Once back at the castle there was a lot of injured men and women and children. It made me angry and sad. I followed Aragon and the others up to top of the castle. After a few hours we all were on the front lines standing in front of the black gate.
I was a little nervous when the gate opened and the armies of Mordor surrounded us. I got ready for the fight that will soon start. I watched as Aragorn walked slowly toward the army but stopped a few steps away he turned back and smiled "For Frodo" He said
Then he ran forward as did Merry and Pippin I followed after them with the rest following. I started to kill the orcs that got in my way. After a while I heard Legolas shout Aragorn's name and I followed his gaze to see that Aragorn was on the ground with a troll's foot on his chest getting ready to kill him.
My eyes widen and I let my lion take control of me scaring the men around me but I ignored them as I ran toward Aragorn to save him but just as I ran passed Legolas there was an explosion and lava came out of Mt. Doom.
Then the ground started collapse a long with the gate and Sauron's tower was gone. I walked toward Aragorn and rubbed my head against his leg. After a few minutes we all made our way back to the castle.
It's been 3 weeks since the war was over and we are slowly rebuilding the kingdom and getting ready for Estel's and Arwen's wedding. I smiled as I walked toward the woods that where a few miles away from the castle.
Once there I wasn't surprised to see almost all of the Elves where there having fun. "Good evening Lady Bridgette" Legolas said "Hello Legolas" I said "Come there are a few Elves I want you meet" Legolas said leading me further into the woods.
After a few minutes I saw the 2 of the most beautiful Elves and don't get me wrong all Elves are beautiful. They smiled at Legolas who smiled back "Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel this Lady Bridgette" Legolas said
"It's nice to meet you both" I said bowing "You as well Lady Bridgette Legolas has told us you helped them in the war" Galadriel said "Yeah I meet a lot of great friends and lost many of them" I said frowning
Then it became quite for a few minutes Galadriel spoke "He also said you have a great sing voice" Galadriel said I glared at him while he grinned at me "Yes while I was with the warriors and soldiers I sang a few songs." I said
"I would love to hear you sing" Lord Celeborn said I sighed "I guess I can" I said "Wonderful, everyone gather around Lady Bridgette is going to sing a song" Celeborn said and everyone stopped what they were doing and walked toward us.
Once everyone was either sitting on logs or standing in front of me. I cleared my throat "This song is called Battleships by Daughtry" I said
Yeah
I'm sinking inside
And the masts and lines are broken down tonight.
I swallow my pride
But we're drowning in the ocean and it's tearing my heart open
Baby, we're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no, and we're changing like the tides
Yeah, but I want you, I need you, and I guarantee you we'll make it out alive
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more,
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships.
Like battleships.
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Bombs fly through the air
And I know that we're both playing not so fair.
Oh, show, show me you care
I got my white flag up and it's waving 'cause you know this love's worth saving, baby.
We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no, and we're changing like the tides
Yeah, but I want you, I need you, and I guarantee you we'll make it out alive
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more,
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships.
Like battleships.
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And we love, yeah we love
And we love, yeah we love
I'm sinking inside
Can we finally put our weapons down tonight?
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more,
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships.
Like battleships.
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And we love like battleships.
After I was done singing everyone clapped and asked questions about the song. I answered them the best I could. I stayed out there for a few hours talking about my era. "How did you change into that creature when we fought at black gate?" Legolas asked making everyone look at me with shock.
'Damn I was hoping he would ask that when we were alone' I thought frowning deeply "When I was 2 years I was kidnapped by slave dealers and sold to Doctor Douglas Sousuke who did an experiment on me it was painful as my bones shaped themselves into a lion for 3 years Doctor Sousuke and his staff trained to use my animal instinct" I said
"What is a lion? Can you show us" Haradion asked "A lion is part of the cat family but much stronger and faster than a house cat, a group of lion's are called pride there can be as many 40 members. " I said "I guess I can show you" I said walking behind a tree so I can take off my dress.
Then I transformed into my lion form then I walked around the tree and toward the group of elves who all gasped. I looked at all of them after a few minutes Legolas walked toward me and carefully stuck his hand out and I let him touch my head.
I loved the feel of his gently hand through my hair making my rub head into his touch and made him smile. Then everyone started to pet me. After little bit I showed them how I could fight in my lion form as well as hunt in my lion form by catching a rabbit but I didn't kill it.
I stayed for a few more hours I yawned feeling tired I walked over to the tree where I left my dress and shifted into my human form. I put on my dress back on. "It was nice meeting everyone" I said
