Author's Notes: I usually put this at the bottom but I wanted to go ahead and clear this up. I saw Return of the King on the 17th and I'm going to follow the movie for the most part. Unfortunately some of the lines have slipped my mind, mainly what Pip and Merry say to greet everyone to Isenguard. I've been searching on the Net all morning and I still haven't found it so I'll see if there's something in the book. If not I'm just going to wing it.

Chapter Ten
Aragorn kept a close watch on Lessien. She refused to ride a horse on the way to Isenguard and most of the horses refused to take her on as a passenger. So the young girl was currently sprinting along side the horses. Aragorn had thought that she'd get tired before too long and finally consent to riding a horse. To his surprise the girl showed no sign of tiring and often would have to stop and wait for them to catch up.
Such was the case now. The young Wolven was perched atop of low rock ledge, her ears perked forward intently and her sensitive nose twitching irritably.
"And what does your nose tell you?" Legolas asked, a chuckled behind his words.
"Water. Lots and lots of water," Lessien answered.
"That is the river," Gandalf replied.
"No. I smell the river and then I smell lots of water. Its not where it belongs. And trees and rocks and something elses."
"Something elses?" Legolas questioned.
"Yup. Lots of something elses," Lessien answered cheerfully and bounded off her rock perch.
"And what exactly are these 'something elses'?" Gandalf asked.
"Dunno," Lessien shouted to him over her shoulder. "I'm gonna go find out."
"You will not," Aragorn said shortly.
"I won't?" Lessien asked, stopping in mid-stride, one hand still off the ground.
"No. You will not," Aragorn repeated, nudging his horse up to Lessien's side. "You will stay close. This road is full of danger."
"I don't smell any danger," Lessien replied. "So it must have all passed." She gave him a toothy smile of triumphant, proud of her logic. "So I can go ahead." She made to take off again.
Aragorn reached down and picked the girl up before she could go anywhere. "You will not go ahead."
"But I wanna see what that smell is," the girl complained, tugging her dangling legs up to her chest as Aragorn nudged his horse forward to join the others.
"You will wait like the rest of us," Aragorn ordered and moved to put the girl on the horse.
"I don't like horses Lord Aragorn," she complained, trying to twist out of his grasp. "They smell bad!" She continued to twist and struggle as Aragorn turned and placed her on the horse behind him.
"Hold on to my shoulders and I will let you down when we are on safer paths," he said complacently, grinning to himself. Lessien ignored him, sulking quietly to herself. Aragorn urged Bregol into a faster trot, making Lessien grab on to the back of his shirt.
"I hate horses," Lessien grumbled to herself, pressing closer to Aragorn and tightening her grip on his shirt. "They stink and they snort and they drool."
Aragorn's horse turned its head to stare at the girl.
She stared right back.
"I do hope you two learn to get along," Aragorn chuckled.
Bregol sorted and Lessien stuck her tongue out at it.
'This is going to be a very long journey,' Aragorn thought.
*****
"A Hobbit? What's a hobbit?" Lessien asked. She was listening to Gimli tell tales of the Fellowship with avid interest. "Is it some kind of food? Can I eat it?" she asked eagerly.
"No, no," Gimli chuckled. "They are small people."
"Oh," Lessien replied, nodding her head. She was silent for a moment and then asked, "How small? Are they here now?" She began to cast around, sniffing cautiously and almost managing to fall off the horse.
"They look like human children," Legolas answered. "And we do not know where they are. We were separated long ago."
"And there is Isenguard," Gandalf announced.
"Is that?"
"Water!" Lessien cheered and jumped up in excitement.
Aragorn swayed dangerously and grabbed the reins tighter to steady himself. His horse paced nervously, pawing at the ground and tossing its head. Lessien perched on Aragorn's shoulders and peered into the distance.
"Your nose is right again," Legolas acknowledged with a smile and Lessien nodded at him.
'When did they become so friendly?' Aragorn wondered, feeling as if he had missed something. "Stay put!" Aragorn shouted as Lessien tried to jump to the ground. In her excitement she'd forgotten to let go of his shirt and had almost dragged him down with her.
"Sorry Lord Aragorn," she mumbled and truly sounded penitent. "Its your horses stupid fault."
Bregol snorted and for a moment Aragorn feared that he would rear up in an attempt to dislodge Lessien.
"Let's just get to the tower in one piece, shall we?"
"Okay," Lessien agreed amiably.
"What happened here I wonder," Theoden said out loud. "What has bought the water out of the river in such a way?"
"It was the trees," Lessien answered. "The walking trees."
"Walking trees?" Theoden repeated, his voice heavy with disbelief.
"Yes. The trees that walk and talk. They don't journey often on a count of they move really really slow but when the urge takes them they have been known to walk about."
"And you have seen these trees?"
"Yeah. In Fangorn forest."
"Foolish bedside stories for children," Theoden snorted.
"Walking trees," Gandalf mused. "I have heard tales of creatures called Ents."
"Ents! That's right! Couldn't remember the name. Thought it might be ants but that's not right."
Gandalf chuckled. "And you have seen them?"
"Yes but only for a moment."
"Why only a moment?"
"I ran."
"You ran?"
"Ents are much bigger than me."
"It can't be," Legolas whispered.
Small rings of smoke drifted up from a rock that sat above the water. The smell of pipe weed reached them and two cheerful voices. To the surprise of all Merry popped his head up and stood hurriedly, nudging Pippin with his toe.
"Welcome, my lords, to Isenguard!" he called cheerfully. "We are the door wardens. Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took." Merry bowed politely, a cheeky grin spread across his face.
"Hullo!" Pippin greeted, waving his pipe at them.
"That's a hobbit?" Lessien asked, breaking the surprised silence. "I could eat that."
*****
Once the remaining members of the Fellowship had gotten over their surprise Gandalf went to speak with the Ents and the others lounged on dry rocks, eating and smoking and resting from the road.
Lessien sat with the Hobbits. They had quickly become friends because they were, as Legolas pointed out, on the same intellectual level. Pippin hadn't quite gotten it and he was pretty sure they were being made fun of but he was too full of good food and wine to care very much.
"You wouldn't really eat us, would you?" Pip asked, looking over at Lessien.
The wolven girl was splashing around in the water. Her tabard and over shirt were drying on a sun bathed rock and she was enjoying an impromptu bath in her sleeveless undershirt and trousers. She turned to look back at the hobbit and jumped up on the rock next to him. She sniffed at him quietly, which made Pip nervous, and then shrugged.
"Depends on how hungry I am," she replied, barring her fangs in a wide grin.
"Oh. And are you hungry now?"
"She's kidding Pip," Merry called, annoyed. "She wouldn't really eat us."
"I've eaten worse," Lessien said. "And you guys seem nice and plumb."
"We wouldn't taste good," Pippin assured. "Too much wine makes meat tough. I'm sure you can find more tender morsels somewhere else."
"I'm not so sure," Lessien sang, splashing back into the flood waters. "You look nice and juicy to me."
"Enough of that Lessien!" Aragorn shouted.
"Yes Lord Aragorn! I wouldn't eat you Pip. Yer fun to have around."
"Oh! Well that's good."
"Saddle up children!" Gimli called. "We're going back to Rohan."
"Can I walk this time?"
*****
More Author's Notes: Well that was fun. I was going to take this until the Dunharrow but its all ready four pages long. I'll just write the next chapter today and tomorrow if I don't finish. I don't really care for this chapter. Not sure why but I just don't like it very much. Oh well. On to better things.
I cried at Return of the King. It started at the scene where Frodo wakes up and pretty much continued until the end of the movie. I didn't bawl like I wanted to cause that would have blurred my vision and I wouldn't have gotten to see the movie. It was beautiful. Best birthday I've ever had.
So the next chapter will be up fairly soon. Maybe even today cause I'm going to start writing it as soon as I've posted this one. And I thought up a bunch of good stuff last night and I'm going to go with it so I'm just going to warn you now: I'm going to change allot of stuff. So far I've kept things pretty close to the movie but in the next couple of chapters I'm going to change allot of stuff. Don't get mad. Its for the sake of funny.
And as always a very big thank you too:
