Legolas-

"You could've picked a better spot," Gimli grumbled. We were lined up against the wall, my father, Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli and I. Us elves had out bows ready in hand, the feint glow of my bow light up the small area in which we stood.

"What's happening out there?" Gimli asked jumping up and down just to catch glimpses of the battle beneath us.

"Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?" Legolas replied grinning. For a second Gimli stood there then he opened his mouth to reply but Legolas was already not facing him.

Beneath us the Uruks began to bash their spears an weapons into the ground. On the walls of the fortress the soldiers drew their bows and swords. Out of nowhere, an arrow flew from the hold of an old farmer and buried itself into one of the Uruk's necks.

"Dartho!" Aragorn yelled.

Our opponents stopped their banging and the Orc that had been hit fell to the ground dead. With a huge shout from the lead Uruk the army began to charge towards the walls of the fortress.

"Faeg i-varv dîn na lanc a nu ranc," Legolas shouted. His own bow ready for fire.

"Hado i philinn!" Legolas yelled.

The elves all at once released their arrows and I watched as they flew and hit straight and true. But our bows won't be much help any more because they are raising heir ladders.

"Pendraid!" Aragorn yelled.

"Finally!" Gimli bellowed raising his axe. A particularly ugly Orc approached him and he swung hi axe lodging it deep into his face. Hundreds of Orcs swarmed the walls of Helm's Deep, out of the corner of my eye I saw Gimli pummel yet another Orc.

"Legolas! Two already!" Gimli shouted.

"I'm on seventeen!" Legolas shouted back to him.

"I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!" Gimli yelled.

"To bad then Gimli because I am easily out scoring both of you." I laughed.

"By how much?" Gimli asked.

"In total I got 72 so by about 55." I replied. Another Orc came running towards me. "It's a shame" I said plunging my sword deep into his chest, "you looked very enthusiastic." Beside me I heard my father laugh. And so the battle went on but in the end we weren't as successful. Aragorn stood fighting and commanding, someday he will make a great king. Then an Orc wielding a blazing torch came sprinting down trying to reach the waterways.

"Togo hon dad, Legolas!" Aragorn yelled.

"Dago hon! Dago hon!" Aragorn shouted. Legolas fired, the arrow hit the Orc in the neck but he pushed on. Legolas kept firing but the Orc was one string demon. In the end he flung himself into the waterways. I felt the ground beneath me shake, the rise and fall. As if in slow motion the wall exploded.

"Pull back! Retreat to the fortress!" Theoden commanded. We all retreated and stayed in the fortress. The men holding the doors back.

"The fortress is taken. It is over," Theoden said in defeat.

"You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it. They still defend it. They have died defending it!" Aragorn shouted at him.

"Ride out and meet them," Aragorn said.

"For death and glory," Theoden agreed.

"For Rohan. For your people," Aragorn added.

"The sun is rising," Gimli rushed to the windows. The sound of a horn blew and the men cheered for Gandalf as he came charging down followed by a few hundred men.

We gathered together, Theoden, Aragorn, Gimli, Celeborn, Gandalf, Legolas and I. We mounted our horses and on the count of three the doors were open. We all rode out together and fought side by side. I swung my sword at a very nasty looking Orc.

"Thats two hundred and thirty five, about thirty thousand to go." I called. Beside me my father hacked at any Orc that was within a meter radius of him. On my other side Gimli hit an Orc in the stomach with the butt of his axe the he kicked him off the side if the ramp were he fell and snapped many of his bones, killing him instantly. I turned and saw an Orc with an axe running towards ^*Gandalf*^ who ha his back turned. It was then that u knew it was either watch the ones you love die or die protecting the ones you love. I chose my second option. Right at the last second I jumped in the way of the swinging axe. It hit my chest with a thump. I felt the cool sharp metal on my skin as it plunged into my chest. The whole world seemed to slow as I fell to the ground, as I hit the ground everything stopped even the looked down at me his face frozen with shock. My father Celeborn stopped fighting and turned I see why Gandalf had stopped but when he saw me lying in the ground with an axe in my chest he fell. He literally fell onto his knees at my side.

"Nienna my child!" He cried.

"Father?" I whispered to him.

"Yes my child?" He asked.

"I love y-you." I said tears running down my face.

"I love you too Nienna." He whispered kissing my cheek. He then placed his arms underneath my body and carried me back to the castle.

"I'll be alright." I said to Gandalf. He wiped a tear away from my face and nodded.

Legolas-

At the sound of the horn the battle was over. The remaining orcs fled and the dead ones burnt. I searched for Nienna but found that both she and Celeborn we missing. I flung the castle doors open and found Aragorn, Gimli, Theoden, Gandalf and Celeborn huddling in a circle around a table.

"Where is Nien..." But my sentance stopped their. On the table was Nienna. An axe embedded into her chest and blood covered most of her body. Celeborn was slung over Nienna crying his heart out. I stood frozen.

"Nienna?" I called quietly.

"I am here Legolas." She coughed softly.

"Do not speak for you will tire yourself out." I told her. But she shook her head.

"Gandalf, I love you and I want to thank you for rescuing me because if eel that I have not thanked you enough.

Aragorn, I am sorry that I cannot finish teaching you the language if the earth. You are a loyal and loving friend. I love you.

Gimli, I still won. But I am not sure what use it would be to me now. I want you to know that I love you and you are one of the most kindest beings I have ever known. You made me laugh for the first time in a very long time.

Theoden, you tried so hard I protect your people. I respect that. May you live a long and joyous life. I

Father, tell mother that I am sorry and that u will not be returning. I guess now I will never be able to return home with you. I love you so much father and words cannot describe the feelings I have for all of you.

And Legolas, I love you so, so,sooooooo much and I am sorry that I could not spend the rest of my days with you. Do you remember that time under the apple tree? When we fought and I pushed you into the lake?" She said laughing. "T-that was one of the best days of my life. In fact everyday I spent with all of you was the best. I love you all." She cried.

"Will you be with me when the sun rises?" I asked her tears running down my face.

"I will always be with you." She said breathlessly. "Gandalf, g-give this t-to him." She stuttered. Gandalf nodded he knew who she meant. "I-I feel so cold." She said. Her breath was slowing and was coming in small puffs. "Kiss me Legolas." She said. And I did. Our kiss was beautiful but sad. I felt her lips grow cold under mind. We parted and she slumped into my arms. "I-I L-lo-ve y-." She exhaled and stopped moving before she had finished her sentence. For the first time in my life I cried freely at my loss. And Celeborn slumped over his daughter again crying. His men tried to pull him away gently so they could move her but he yelled and pushed them away. This was his daughter and he will cry if he wants to.

We all travelled to Lothlórien in silence. When we arrived we were fretted warmly but then when they noticed Celeborn's sad and tired face they stopped and gathered around us watching. We took Nienna's body up to Galadriel's home. She dashed forward to embrace her husband but retreated in shock at her daughters dead body. Galadriel cried and grieved over Nienna for a long time. I shared her pain. Inside I felt dead. Nienna's death had me dying inside.

A day later everyone including Theoden,my father, Elrond, the fellowship and Celebrìan, Nienna's sister had gathered by the river Nienna's body lay in a small silver boat. She had been washed and cleansed from the blood and her hair was brushed into long curls. She looked so beautiful, like an angel. Each person in Lothlórien placed a flower in the boat covering Nienna. On Celeborn's command the boat was lit in fire and pushed out into the water. I watched as the remains if the boat sank into silence.

My Nienna was gone and now I was left alone. But I promise that again someday we will be reunited.

Saruman-

I walked into the hall and there on the table was a letter.

'Dear Saruman,

I know that you are sorry for what you did. And I am sorry too. For leaving and for never saying goodbye. I know that Saron controls you and you were unable to free me, but I do not want to kill you. I actually pity you. I wish I could see you once more but I am afraid my time is up. I ah e asked Gandalf to give you this letter in my place. I will see you in another life.

Love,

Nienna.'

From behind me Gandalf's voice said "she has passed on." I looked behind me but Gandalf had vanished. But it didn't matter Nienna is gone.
