Lucius instinctively pushed Eowyn behind him and pulled out his wand.
"What do you want?" He demanded.
"Wormtongue, here, informed me of your mission and he thought he would spare you the journey to Mordor." Sauroman replied calmly. Lucius shot the imp a look. If looks could kill, Wormtongue would've dropped dead. "What can I do for you, Mr. Malfoy?" Sauroman continued. Before Lucius could respond, he felt Eowyn squeeze his arm.
"Eowyn do you trust me?" He whispered so only she could hear.
"Yes." She murmured.
"Remember the spell I taught you?" He asked a little louder.
"I think so." She replied, pulling out her wand. They stood back to back and were surrounded by orcs.
"On the count of three cast it." He told her. "One…two…three…"
"STUPEFY!" They yelled at the same time. It was enough to knock all the orcs, Wormtongue and Sauroman down. Lucius grabbed her hand and they ran out the castle doors, mounting their horses which aided their escape.
When they reached the forest, the pair dismounted their horses.
"We have to get out of Middle-Earth." Eowyn told him. "There must be a faster way we can…" She stopped when she saw his face. "No, I know what you're thinking and no."
"Eowyn-"
"NO! I won't leave you."
"You have to. Because of this I cannot stay in Middle-Earth much longer. Sauroman will most likely come after me if I stay."
"Then I'll come with you!"
"No, I will not take you away from your family. While your brother is banished, it is your job to look after your uncle. Try to break the spell he's under. If anyone can do it you can."
"I'll write to you as soon as this is all over."
"Nothing would please me more." He gave her a sad smile, and then leaned down to kiss her one last time.
"I love you." She breathed.
"I love you, too."
Then he disapperated.
~Two Weeks Later~
"Lucius!" Narcissa cried throwing her arms around her fiancé. The first thing he had done upon returning was see the Dark Lord. He informed him, Sauroman had the intention of helping and he had left, not wanting to push things. The Dark Lord had not liked that, but, surprisingly, he did not hold Lucius responsible.
"Oh I missed you so much."
"I missed you, too."
They stayed in the embrace for a few more moments before breaking it.
"What's the news here?" He asked as the pair took a seat on the bench in the yard.
"Bella was married."
"Wonderful, to who?"
"Rodolphus Lestrange. I don't think they really love each other, but Bella said she was happy."
"Well it's excellent news...Narcissa, while I was away I decided that I want to married as soon as possible."
"Lucius, we still have a lot to do. I have to get a dress, I have to plan the guest list, I have-"
"Next month then."
"Alright. Next month." She smiled and kissed him. And for the first time since he'd gotten home, he completely forgot about Eowyn.
