Thank you so much for the reviews! Thanks for the advice but I'm just going to keep the name of Verturna, Vera.

They had cannons, ladders, fearless things they called soilders, and the numbers. They shot the the ladders and they started climbing up. The archers shot the arrows, some aiming for the ladders and cutting the rope causing the ladder to fall down and squash some filthy orcs from below.

"Oi! Elf! Let's say a friendly game?" I heard Gimli yell. I thought he was talking to me so I turned. He was talking to Legolas, who just smiled and nodded, then Gimli saw I was looking at them,"What do you say Ver? You in?" He asked me.

"A game? Now?" I have to admit I'm a bit scared right now.

He laughed,"Just s=count how many ya kill!" He said and ran off.

I rolled my eyes and payed attention to the orcs.

"Oi! Legolas! The elven female is in on the game!" I distincly hear him yelling at a distance.

Soon, the need for archers, on the all, was no more. The orcs had managed to climb in and were now attacking the castle from the inside, sure it was only a little piece of the army but even a llittle was too much for us. The archers fled to the top of the city to have a better shot at the orcs. I stayed behind, choosing not to risk any of the men's lives with my horrid aim.

I was in desperate need of a sword or anything to use as a weapon.

"Vera!" heard my name and I turned just in time to get out of the way of an upcoming orc, just barely missing the swing of his sword but not fully. A strand of my pony tail was cut off. I saw as the black hair fell. Oh now I'm mad!

"My hair." I growled and attacked him, taking his sword and stabbing his neck. I don't want to sound too girlish but I'm very careful of my hair. It's not very beautiful but it's special to me for reasins I don't wish to talk about now.

"Oi! Ver! How many is that? I have twenty!" I heard Gimli,"Legolas!"

I turned and saw them fighting off some orcs. Legolas took out an arrow and carved it on the neck of an orc."Thirty!" He smiled.

"Thirty? I have only five!" I yelled.

I heard Gimli laugh very loudly and annoyingly. I snarled and ran in a different direction, slicing throats and I run.

I laugh i my head, raise the sword and slice another sword,"Twenty-five." I smile.

Just then I hear Aragorn,"Legolas! Shoot him!" He yelled in elvish and I distinctly see Legolas shooting an arrow on the other side of the wall. Two seconds later the wall explodes.

The sound was ear piercing but the effect was worse. I saw as a cloud of gray smoke fills the sky and many orcs and men fly off into many directions. I covered my mouth. This only made the men and elves left fight harder. Many hours have passed and many lives were lost.

However, soon it was too much for us to handle. True, Saruman's army was very small now but still too much.

I was tearing out the sword from a lifeless body of an orc when I heard the order.

"Fall back to the keep!"

The air was filled with the scent of blood and death. All I heard were screams and many voices repeating what Aragron had yelled 'To the keep!'

I was about to run but then on the corner of my eyes I spotted an orc running toward a very young soilder.

"Behind you!" I yell pointing to the orc. Then I had a de-ja vu moment.

He turned and ducked the blow of the orcs sword, but unlike the orc that almost killed me this one lost it's balance and fell over the wall and landed in a hollow thud.

I looked over at the soilder and he just nodded and ran to the keep. I followed him from a distance. We entered and shut the door. Five men were holding the door. I turned and gasped at what I saw... No more than twenty men were in this room. Only fourteen men, two elves, one dwarf, and one child had survived.

I heard the mumbles and argument of Theoden and Aragorn, not really hearing any words. My head hurt and I didn't have enough air.

"You said Helm's Deep will not fall while your men defend it. Well they are still defending it, they have dies defending it!" Aragorn yelled.

I didn't know, nor really cared, what Theoden answered because the Gimli spoke out.

"The sun..."

I turned my gaze at the window and saw small rays of sunshine coming in the room. I made a small smile.

"We have survived the night." I whispered.

I looked at Aragorn, he looked like he was thinking about something. I tilted my head.

Later we mounted our horses, ready to open to door and get out of here. Maybe if we stayed onhorse and just sliced the orcs as we go by we might be able to win this. I sighed, well there's nothing bad in thinking positive.

I petted Halo,"This is it girl, you can do this." I whispered in his ears.

Soon, the doors opened and we raced outside, screaming and killing orcs as we rode by. We went to the bridge and pushed the orcs out of our way.

Then, Aragorn stopped. I hesistated but stopped too. He was looking at something, I followed his gaze and saw a white wizard. I had o smile when I saw that he was accompanied by soilders! Many riding on horseback! The chrged and help us fight these orcs.

The battle of Helm's Deep was won, thanks to the white wizard.
