After resting for the night, we prepare to continue on the journey to Helms Deep. I watch Legolas secure our stuff on the horse properly, since I failed last time.

"That Demon from your time has yet to attack. He might of given up" Legolas states as he helps me onto the horse, since I fail majorly at doing that too… sue me for being a 21st century girl!

"No he hasn't given up, why? Do you want rid of me" I tease.

Legolas looks up shocked "What? Of course not!"

I laugh heartily "Relax sweetie, he hasn't attacked yet because he's waiting for the opportune moment"

"How do you know?"

I cough lightly hoping the panic didn't reach my eyes "I know the type. I face demons everyday you know"

Legolas's eyes glaze over and fixate on the horse's saddle "Is your life always in so much danger?"

"Every damn day" I put my hand under his chin and lift his face up to look at me. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I've been doing this since I was about 12 and I'm… actually I don't know how old I am now, lost track of time, what day is it anyway?"

"I believe it is early March" Legolas replies thoughtfully.

My eyes widen "I've been 21 for a month now!"

"Why did you not say that your birthday had been?" Legolas scolds

"Well we've been a little busy lately… I can't believe I missed my own birthday, a month ago, we were in Lorien right? Christ Galadriel could have told me!"

Legolas laughs loudly drawing the attention of other. I laugh as well, at him of course not with him. I feel a slight tug on my leg. I look to down at the ground on the other side of the horse from Legolas.

"Hey there Freda my darling" I greet while clambering, not so gracefully off the horse, managing to get away with a little stumble.

She giggles at my antics before saying "You didn't tell me it was your birthday I would have picked you flowers at Edoras"

I scoop her up into my arms and hug her… well more like practically squeeze the life out the poor thing "Awww! You are just the cutest little squashy bug ever!"

I place her back down on the ground before I get charged for murder. "What did your husband get you for your birthday?" She asks looking up at me so innocently.

I stop in my tracks and gawk at the girl, Legolas does the same "I don't have a husband, sweetheart"

"Yes you do! I saw you and Mr Elf kissing!" She exclaims defiantly.

People look over at us in shock. I blush and pick Freda back up.

"Okay, honey when a man and a young woman love each other its perfectly okay for them to kiss. You must be 18 before you do so though"

"Why 18?" Freda asks

"Because that's when you become an adult" I tell her.

I put her back on the ground again and she grins at me before running off. Legolas wraps his arms around my shoulders and breaths in my ear "You are in love with me?"

I turn my head slightly and kiss him tenderly "Do you have to ask?" I whisper back

Legolas chuckles against my lips "I love you too"

Damien's P.O.V

Anger rages through me as Jenni kisses the Elf. What does she see in that pansy! I calm myself down and stop walking as the people of Rohan walk past me. I decided to follow Jenni on a 'research' trip and what do I see? Her making out with another guy! It is not over between us! It never will be over between us! Jenni. Is. Mine! I sigh and shake my head getting back my cool. It's not Jenni's fault, she's just going through a stage. I'll get her back. I just need to get rid of that damn Elf!

Jenni P.O.V

A strong, uncomfortable heat wave runs through my whole body. I turn around sharply looking for the cause. The only person I know that gives me that feeling is Damien, I used to think it was a good thing, a sign of love, but as it turns out it was actually what Witches feel around the presence of a high level Demon.

"What is wrong?" Legolas asks concerned

"Nothing, I thought I felt the presence of something evil, familiar. Don't say anything though, it's gone now anyway" I reply shaking my head

"Was it the Demon?" Legolas asks. I nod in reply.

I clamber back onto the horse, again ungracefully. "I need to learn how to ride one of these things"

Legolas chuckles then jumps on behind me, one million times more graceful than I did. He takes the reins and places them into my hands.

"Dig the horse with your heel lightly." I do as he says and the horse starts off at a slow trot.

"Pull on the reins in the direction you want to go in." I do so again and the horse follows my movement.

"Now just gently pull on the reins to make the horse stop" Again I do as I'm told, the horse does too.

Legolas jumps off and runs ahead. I follow him on the horse and finally pull up next to Aragorn and Eowyn.

"Hey! Check me out! I'm riding a horse all by myself!" I say with a grin

Eowyn looks shocked "Have you never ridden a horse before Lady Jenni?"

"Once when I was ten but the horse scared me so I never went again" I reply shrugging.

"How do you travel? By foot?" She continues to ask.

"Mostly" I decide to answer, it saves a big discussion about cars and how they work and it's not exactly a lie, I run a lot, at least when Louis isn't around.

Legolas starts off at a sprint and shots an arrow. A horrible screeching noise follows. Aragorn runs over to see what happened just to run back yelling "Wargs! We're under attack!"

The people of Rohan panic as the riders' race towards the battle. I follow suit. As my horse gallops past Legolas, he flings himself on and lands ever so gracefully in front of me.

"Show off" I mutter under my breath as Legolas charges into the midst of the battle.

Something knocks me off the horse sideways onto the grass below. I jump up and blow up the charging Warg with a strength I never realised I had. I look down at my hands in surprise. I don't have time to dwell on it as more Wargs start charging at me. Realising I can't rely on my powers alone I pull out my sword and fight with both powers and sword. Terribly, but it's keeping me alive.

After a long, stressful battle, the remaining Wargs retreated. Remembering what happens to Aragorn, I run to the cliff edge to see Legolas picking out the evenstar from the Orc's grip. He runs over to the edge and looks over the cliff.

Theoden walks to Legolas's side shouting over his shoulder "Get the wounded on horses, leave the dead."

Legolas looks at him shocked and hurt. Theoden looks at him sympathetically "Come"

Legolas spots me and runs up grabbing my shoulders he yells "Is he alive? Tell me!" He shakes me so roughly that it hurts. I do what I have to do and lightly throw him off of me.

He lands a few metres away and I rub the back of my neck staring at him like I did Damien when I found out he was a Demon. I shake my head and run off.

"Jenni! Jenni! Come back!" Legolas shouts after me, guilt thick in his tone.

I keep running and jump onto an abandoned horse and gallop towards the rest of the soldiers. I follow them to Helms Deep ignoring Legolas all the way.

When we arrive at Helms Deep, I jump off the horse and walk away from the group and sit on a flight of stairs, away from prying eyes, massaging my neck. I know he's worried but that was uncalled for. Maybe I was a little harsh completely ignoring him. I know he wouldn't hurt me intentionally but still…

"Lady Jenni!" Freda's little voice exclaims.

"Freda, hello there" I say smiling.

"Where's Mr Elf?" She asks again so innocently.

"I don't know my darling."

"Did you fall out?"

"A little bit"

"Maybe you should talk to him and make friends again. That's what you are supposed to do when you are in love, right?" The innocence of a child is amazing but it's also scary. So much innocence will be destroyed tonight.

"Thank you Freda"

I get up and fight my way through the thick crowds trying to find Legolas. I find him inside the Keep talking to the very much alive, but busted up Aragorn. He hands Aragorn back the Evenstar. I run up to Aragorn and give him a hug before he disappears into the King's room. I turn to face Legolas with an indifferent look on my face.

"I'm so sorry Jenni. I was too harsh back there. I was just upset. I swear on the Valar that it will never ever happen again." He pulls me into a gentle hug. "I love you too much to let you leave me now"

I grip the back of his tunic tight in my hands. "Promise?" I ask rather childlike. I don't know if I could deal with another heart break.

"I promise"
