Hitting the water was like hitting a layer of concrete. Missy had held tight to Aragorn's coat the whole way down but when they hit the water her hand instantly opened as pain shot through her entire body. The next thing she was aware of was the fact that she was under water, way under. She forced her feet to start kicking even though every move made her body scream in protest. The current was pulling her hard but she managed to break the surface and suck in a lungful of air.

"Aragorn!" She screamed as she kicked again, doing all in her power to keep her head above water. She went under for a few moment and then resurfaced, her eyes scanning all she could before she went under again. Her feet suddenly hit bottom and she was able to push her self to the top, thanking god the river was a bit shallower where she was. She saw him finally, floating down the river on his back.

"Aragorn." She spoke his name as pushed herself towards him. He wasn't moving and that was a terrible sign, but she couldn't believe that she could survive the fall and he couldn't. She grabbed his arm and then pulled him to the bank of the river, dragging him up onto dry land before collapsing beside him.

"Wake up…" She muttered, giving him a shake but he didn't move.

"Shit.. CPR…Why didn't I pay attention to that freaking hot life guard?" She muttered as she tilted his head back and pinched his nose. She placed her mouth against his and blew air into his lung, praying with each breath. He still didn't move and she laid her head against his chest to hear for a heart beat, it was faint but there.

"Come on Aragorn!" She yelled at him in frustration and blew more air into his lungs. Suddenly his hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand off his nose, but his mouth closed and her lips stayed put. He was alive, he was moving, but she couldn't bring herself to break their impromptu kiss. His mouth was moving with hers and for a second it seemed like the kind of kiss that happened in movies but then he shoved her backwards off of him. She hit the ground hard and let out a yelp as a tiny rock cut her hand.

"I'm sorry Artemis, did I hurt you?" He asked genuinely concerned and she simply shook her head. Truth was her pride was very hurt, but she wouldn't let him know that. They both looked up when they heard a noise and saw Brego trotting towards them. The horse knelt down by Aragorn and the man pulled himself weakly onto the back of his steed.

"Can you ride okay?" Missy asked as she struggled to get onto the back of the horse. Aragorn simply made a grunting noise and once her arms were around him he let Brego know he could start their journey. ~ * ~

Saruman was set to work, using all the ingredients to make a bomb, the one thing that would aid them in defeating Théoden.

"How can fire undo stone?" Grima asked and brought the candle closer to the powder, Saruman immediately pushed him away. Morsus laughed from his place by the balcony. He had traveled dimensions and time, the things that were magic in Middle Earth were considered modern science where he had been, and yet some things were still impossible for even him to understand.

"Once the wall is breached Helms Deep will fall." Saruman said, his eyes lingering on Morsus for but a second.

"Even if it is breached, it would take a number beyond reckoning to storm the keep. Thousands." Grima said, keeping his distance from the handsome man that did not join the conversation. Morsus made Grima uncomfortable; his hidden agenda was so obvious. He didn't are about the war on Rohan, no, he simply wanted the girl.

"Tens of thousands." Saruman agreed.

"But there is no such force." Saruman led him to the balcony where Morsus was standing, and the three looked out on an army so massive Grima physically took a step backwards.

"Victory is at hand… but what of the woman?" Saruman asked looking over at Morsus.

"If she is able to defeat the call after this attack then I will just have to go in and get her myself." He said with a slight smile.

"They will never let you near her." Grima said, eyeing the man carefully.

"My queen will allow me at her side, nothing those warriors can do will stop her. She loves me." Morsus patted Grima on the shoulder and then began to walk back inside. The snake of a man looked back at his master Saruman.

"I have seen it with my own eyes my lord, they take great care with the woman." Saruman raised his hand to silence him.

"Morsus has his own tricks, our focus is not her, our focus is Rohan. Let him worry about the Queen." ~ * ~

Ten thousand orcs, all marching towards Helms Deep. Their friends needed their help more than ever, well at least Aragorn's help. This was going to be a battle, and she knew better than anyone that she was useless at battle.

"Aragorn, how did I end up on that bull?" She had no clue what kind of animal it had actually been but that was what it had reminded her of.

"You walked onto the field, as if you were in a dream. I do not know why but… Artemis, you wanted to go with them." He said glancing back at her. She held on tighter, fear clutching at her heart. She remembered the voice calling her name and then the next thing she knew she was on the back of a Warg.

"I'm scared." She muttered softly and rested her cheek against his back. He patted her hand and then urged Brego into a gallop. ~ * ~

They opened the gates to the immediately, one of the soldiers helping Missy off the horse quickly. Aragorn demanded to know where the King was and once he was pointed in the right direction he was off, the girl trailing behind him. Gimli was the first one they ran into.

"You are the luckiest, the canniest and most reckless man I know. Bless you laddie!" The dwarf hugged Aragorn tightly and the man looked a little surprised but clapped him on the shoulder and continued on. Gimli grabbed Missy before she could protest.

"More trouble than you're worth!" He said harshly but the crushing hold he had on her let her know he had been worried. She giggled and hugged him back.

"Come on." She muttered and then rushed up the stairs to see Legolas and Aragorn staring each other down before Legolas handed him the necklace he was always clutching at. Aragorn bowed his head and then continued off to the King. Legolas turned his gaze onto Missy and his face became like ice. He stalked towards her and grabbed her wrist roughly before dragging her down the hall. She fought to get out of his grasp but he held fast, finding a small room that she guessed was for storage. It was as big as the laundry room in her house and only had a small table within its walls.

"What were you thinking?" He asked as he slammed the door behind them. She pulled her now free wrist to her chest and stared up at him wide eyed.

"Walking onto a battle field? You could have been killed!" She opened her mouth to speak but he was still ranting.

"You do not care about anything do you? Stupid mortal!" She couldn't tell what he was angry about any longer. Her eyes followed his form as he paced back and forth in front of her, screaming all the while.

"Why should something so helpless be so important? Why should I give my life for someone who does not care for their own?" She again tried to speak but his next words confused her into silence.

"To even consider giving up the ways of my people!" She had no clue what he was talking about but he was fuming. She had never seen Legolas so angry at her, and she was terrified he might forget himself and hurt her. His fist slammed down against the small table and his eyes locked with hers.

"How can you be worth it?"

"Worth what?" She finally found her voice, but her words sent him charging towards her. She closed her eyes and waited for him to strike her, but instead his hand buried in her hair and pulled her close. His lips crashed against her and her eyebrows shot up though he eyes stayed closed. Legolas was kissing her. Legolas. The one who hated her. The one who had called her pathetic. The only person in the fellowship who never had a nice thing to say to her was kissing her. He was kissing her like he would never get to kiss her again. She had no idea what she suppose to do so she did the only logical thing her brain could think of, she kissed him back. His right arm slid around her waist and pulled her against his lean body, forcing her to stand on her tip toes so she did not lose his lips. Her fingers wrapped around his tunic as their mouths moved together in an intricate dance.

"Legolas…" The second he allowed her to breath she let his name roll off her tongue. His eyes widened and he shoved her back, fleeing the room a second later. She blinked once or twice before letting out a frustrated sigh.

"What is with these guys and the kissing and shoving?" She yelled at no one before pulling her wrist close to her again. She could see two tiny bruises where his fingers hand been, and across her palm was the tiny cut from the river. She was so sick of the two of them, playing with her emotions like they did, being sweet one moment and pushing her away the next. She was Artemis Cooper! The number of broken hearts she had left behind her was greater than Legolas' age! They had no clue who they were messing with.

"Fine, they want to play that way? Game on."
