Éomer entered the castle and looked for his manservant,who had his armor. He had to go out looking for the patrol that went out yesterday and didn't come back, since the kings son was with him. He called for him and thought he heard the answering call from the hallway to the left. He looked down it, it was the hallway to a door his father had always forbidden him to enter. 'Oh no. If I'm not allowed down there my servant is definitely not' he thought. Éomer walked swiftly down the hall and came to the door. He stood in front of it. He knew he didn't have to leave for a while, the king was still sleeping, and he cringed at the thought of what would happen to his servant, Henry, if he was found back there. With these thoughts in mind he opened the door to reveal a spiral staircase. at the top of the staircase was a long dark hallway. there was a torch mounted on the wall at its start. He grabbed the torch and began down the hallway. He realized now that his manservant wasn't in this hallway. But now that he was here,he couldn't leave. As a boy this door had been a million things in his imagination, a door to another world,a magical garden even a cursed room that none could as he grew and his imagination waned, the door slipped almost entirely out of his memory. He would walk past the hallway not even realizing it was there. He finally snapped out of his thoughts to see a door. He tried the handle,it was locked. He sighed and rested his hand on top of the doorway, that's when he felt it. There was a small ledge and on it was a key. He excitedly grabbed the key and put it in the lock. Just as he was about to turn it he realized, if the key was just outside the door than it wasn't to keep someone out, it was to keep someone in. Bracing himself, he opened the door.

In it was an elven woman. 'She is beautiful' is all he thought. She stared at him and then grinned so broadly he was concerned her face would crack in half. She squealed and ran out of the room straight past him. Now that she was gone his mind was cleared. And only one thought was on his mind 'crap crap crap crap'now there was no way his uncle wouldn't find out. He ran down the hallway after her and down the staircase. " ugh. Did she turn left or right" he decided to try right and ran into his manservant

"ah! There you are!" they said at the same time. Henry chuckled

"Sir I have your armor" Henry continued. "That doesn't matter now tell them to seal the gates and lock down this building!" He said and continued to run looking for her. "I am in so much trouble" he groaned.

Megan was not stupid. She remembered what the wizard guy had said. So of course her logical course of action was to hide behind a pillar and wait for a guy in a cloak to pass. It took like an hour, but she was used to sitting around being bored. Although it did occur to her that this might not have been the best course of action. Finally, a man holding a large cloak walked by and she walked out in front of him.

"Hi" she said in her most seductive voice. The man stared in awe at her.

"Hello there pretty lady can I help you with something"
"Yeah. I need that cloak." She said quickly. He gave her the cloak and asked her I'd she needed anything else.

"No thanks. Bye" she said. And with that she walked away and put on the cloak pulling it above her head. She realized she was kinda rude and tried to remember how she used to treat people. She was looking at the ground hiding her face when Éomer came racing around the corner and crashed directly into her. They both went tumbling to the ground and her hood fell off just long enough for him to see that it was her. He stared for awhile before coughing and saying.

"My apologies. But you need to get back in that tower. The king can not know I let you out." She stared at him incredulously

"Do you not realize you're speaking like I'm an animal! Saying you 'let me out'! Please I'm just a person like you! Just let me out of the... I don't know what this is. Town? City? Just let me out and I'll..." She trailed off as she realized she had no where to go. That's when the reality of her situation hit her. She was in a different world she knew nothing about. She had no friends, no family, no home and no marketable skill. She was alone. A tear slipped down her face.

"okay... I honestly have been locked up there forever. I was told I was something called the vanessë and locked up. Please... I need help. I have no where to go and I don't want to go back in that cage!" Éomer stopped, he had heard his sister talk about a cage. About her fear of girl had been locked on there forever... That must have been horrible. He couldn't let her be locked up again.

"Who locked you in there in the first place?" He asked. She looked at him sadly "The father of your uncle and a wizard named Sauron the white"Éomer felt anger rise in him. 'Of course it was Sauron' he thought bitterly.

"Alright you can stay with me. But I feel like I need to tell you Sauron is evil. He has taken control of my uncle, the king, and everyday he works toward the destruction of middle earth. You will stay with me the king rarely leaves his throne room and his bedroom so it will be easy for you to avoid him. Now come along, we are sending out a search party which officially includes you." And with that Megan joined him on his search. And that is when her adventure officially begins.

This chapter didn't turn out entirely how i wanted it but whatever, i hope its not terrible. to anyone who feels like Éomer let her stay to easily, he had seen her twice so he was kind of unable to resist her. thank you to my reviewers again, i know i love when people mention my reviews so thank you to serena83 and Katrina3064. asphodelmoonlight thank you i tried to fix it in this chapter i hoped i did better. 5aerwen i'm sorry i tried to fix it here. i want to get a beta but i'm kinda new and don't really know how it works.
