Chapter 6
Warg Battle and Missing

We came over a hill and see the wargs with orcs on them heading down the hills. I bit my bottom lip, but kept my bow in my hand as Belle ran forward as I saw Legolas jump onto the horse in front of Gimli.

"Charge." Theoden yelled. I kicked the sides of my horse and it ran faster. I shot an arrow and it hit one of the wargs, making it fall to the ground. I pulled out my sword as the wargs jump. Belle moved out of the way of one of the wargs and I slashed at it with my sword. I saw Gimli fall of Legolas's horse. I igored it knowing Gimli could take care of himself. I stab an orc through the chest and slash the warg that is about to jump on me. I shot an arrow at a warg that was heading for Gimli.

"That was mine!" Gimli yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"Dwarves." I mumble. Suddenly a warg jumped and I was knocked to the ground. I got up, but was grabbed.

"My master wants you." The orc said. I growl and hit him in the head with my head. My hand got caught in the rope. I reach down into my boot and pulled out one of the daggers. "Your not getting away that easily." The orc pulls me up and I shove the dagger into its chest. It screamed and grabbed me around my neck around the necklace that I wore. It was a gift from Eomer. It was a green jewel with the Rohan Royal symbol. I never took it off. I grabbed the orc and threw him off. I felt the necklace go with him. I swore in Elvish as I discover the warg heading for the cliff and my hand wasn't coming free.

"Get free. Come on!" I said, but it didn't. The warg goes tumbling over the cliff and all I saw was a river coming to me and everything went black.

Theoden's POV. People lay injured or dead. I looked for Alethia. Her horse was gone and missing.

"ALETHIA!" I yell. Eomer would not be happy with me if I let her die.

"Alethia?"Gimli asked. Aragorn and Legolas looked around. We head to the cliff. Hama was with us. An orc started laughing and Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, and I go up to him.

"Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing." Gimli said.

"She's dead. She took a little tumble off the cliff." The orc said. I hurried towards the cliff and looked over. There was no sight of her. I didn't want to break the news to Eomer, but I knew I would have to.

"This was in the orcs hand." Legolas said. I took it. It was the necklace that Eomer gave to Alethia after they started courting.

"Its hers. Eomer gave her it to her." I said, holding it.

"Its gonna hurt him when he finds out." Hama said. I nod.

"Get the wounded on horses. The wolves of Isengard will return. Leave the dead. Come." I said.

Alethia's POV. I floated in the river face up. I felt my body land on the shore. The curse voice came in my head.

"The witch king will rise from his tomb again in centuries. You are cursed to live forever and not die till either you or another woman kills him." The voice said. I open my eyes. I was alive, but my ribs felt like they were on fire, but I knew they would heal eventually. I close my eyes and roll on my side. I felt a nudge on my head.

"Belle." I said in a whisper. I felt her lay beside me. I used her mane to pull myself up onto her. I was tired and exhausted as She stood up as I took the reins and got her running. I came over a hill after an hour or so riding. I pull Belle to a stop at what I saw. Thousands of orcs were marching and I knew where they were heading. Helm's Deep. The war was about to begin. I turned Belle and ran her towards Helm's Deep. I had to warn Theoden.

AN: No yelling at me that I switched the rolls of Aragorn falling off the cliff to Alethia. Its my story. Just a fun fact about Alethia's name that I forgot to mention. It means Wisdom in Greek. :)
