A/N: Thank you for the reviews. Keep reading. It's a surprising story. It's not what you think is going to happen. (That's if you think that the three girls are going to magically destroy the Ring.)

Chapter Three: Rohan

When they reached Rohan, they took the girls inside to get help and for questioning.

Tara looked worriedly at her two friends. "Are they going to awaken soon?" She asked nobody in particular.

"I do not know. Patience." Aragorn replied. He unwrapped the piece of clothe around Amber's head and observed the wound. It was still bleeding, but not very much, and dirt covered it. Aragorn set to work on cleaning the wound. On the other side of the room, Legolas was observing Katie.

"I see nothing wrong with her, she has done nothing to herself to inflict wounds. She has just fainted, is all." Legolas told Tara when he walked over.

Tara nodded her head. "Ok." She replied.

"You looked tired. You should get some rest. We shall wake you in the morning for questioning." Aragorn said as he looked up. "Done. She just needs rest and she shall be up and about in the morning."

Tara didn't hear what Aragorn had said because she had fallen asleep standing up. Legolas and Aragorn looked at each other in amazement.

"Never in my long years have I seen someone do that. Except for Elrohir." Legolas said. He walked over and picked the sleeping girl up and laid her across a bed. Aragorn walked out of the room, Legolas not far behind.

"Do you think they are spies, Aragorn?" Legolas asked.

"I do not know, but," Aragorn sighed," They wear strange clothes, and use strange words. I cannot say if they are spies of the enemy. They shall answer our questions tomorrow. Besides, they cannot do anything tonight, they are ill."

Legolas nodded his head. "I was thinking the same thing, but when if they are spies? Should we keep a guard or someone to watch them for tonight? It would be one person, and they would hide out of sight, and be unnoticed." Legolas said.

"That would be a good idea. You have just got yourself that position." Aragorn said, laughing.

Legolas looked at Aragorn. "Why do you not do it?"

"Because, I cannot stay in one position for a long time, unlike you. Besides, I need rest, unlike you." Aragorn replied thoughtfully.

Legolas rolled his eyes. "So, that does not mean that I am not tired. Why do you watch first, then come and wake me when it is around mid night?" Legolas suggested.

Aragorn thought about this for a bit. "You are so stubborn, Elf." Legolas smiled triumphantly. "Fine, have it your way."

Legolas looked smug and walked outside.

"I thought you were going to bed, not going outside." Aragorn said and walked outside. He did not see his companion. Sighing, he decided to head back inside when he saw his friend hooded and cloaked, standing off to the side. He walked over to his companion.

"The stars have availed." Legolas whispered. Aragorn glanced over at Legolas then at the stars. "It moves its gaze."

"It's alright, Legolas." Aragorn assured his friend. Legolas continued to look at the stars, not sure to heed Aragorn's assurance or not.

*Back inside *

Amber began to stir. She looked around the room with blurry vision. She began to sit up, but a gentle push kept her from doing so. She looked over and saw the friendly face of Tara and Katie standing by the bed.

"How are you?" Tara asked, checking the wound on her friend's forehead. Blood stained the white cloth.

"Doing better. What happened? One minute I was talking Elvish to Legolas, Aragorn, and Gandalf. The nest I saw rocks then it gets blank from there." Amber asked, her throat hoarse. Katie saw this and walked over to the nightstand that sat in a corner and poured a cup of water. She walked back over and handed her the cup. Amber gladly drank it.

Tara waited for Amber to finish and when she did, she helped her out of bed.

"C'mon, let's go explore." Tara said anxiously.

The three girls left the room quietly.

Pippin couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned as he tried to find a comfortable spot on the stone floor. It was no use; he could not sleep because something in his mind was telling him to get back that crystal like ball that he found in Isanguard. He looked around to see if everyone was asleep. Throwing the covers off, he quickly stood up and started heading over to Gandalf.

"Pip, what're you doin'?" Merry asked as he sat up. Pippin quickly turned around, sweat beading his forehead. He didn't answer his cousin and just continued over to Gandalf.

"Pip?" Merry whispered.

Pippin once again ignored his cousin. When he got to Gandalf, he jumped back. The wizard lay there; eyes wide open, looking up at the ceiling. Pippin waved his hand in front of the old man. When he mad no response, he grabbed a vase. Gulping, he quickly snatched the wrapped up ball out of Gandalf's arms and replaced it with the vase.

"Pippin?" Merry whispered, starting to get up.

"I just want to see it, one last time." Pippin finally answered, unwrapping the cloth that held the evil thing.

Amber, Tara, and Katie walked into the room then. Pippin and Merry didn't seem to notice. Tara noticed the black orb lying in the white cloth and quickly ran towards Pippin.

"Pippin! No!" Tara yelled. Pippin looked up and ignored her. He looked at it for a moment, and then grabbed it. The back and gray smoke began to swirl, creating many different colors. The smoke vanished and was replaced by flame. The Eye of Sauron looked up at Pippin.

Pippin began to sweat, as he tried to look away from it, but failed miserably. Tara reached Pippin as he began to sprawl on the ground, mouth wide open, but saying nothing. Tara grabbed the ball out of his hands. She began doing the same thing.

*Back outside *

Legolas looked ailed as he looked over at Aragorn. "He's here!"

Aragorn turned around and ran into the palace, Legolas close on his heels. When they got inside, they saw Tara tossing and turning on the ground holding a fiery ball.

"Gandalf!" Merry screamed. Gandalf immediately woke up and hopped out of bed. He saw what was going on and quickly ran over.

Aragorn grabbed the thing out of Tara's hands as he slowly shrank to the ground. Legolas grabbed onto Aragorn's arm, wanting to help his friend, but couldn't. Aragorn fell to the ground and let go of the ball. It went rolling and Gandlaf threw a piece of cloth over it.

"You are a fool!" Gandalf said angrily as he turned around to see Tara lying on the ground next to Pippin, both not moving. Gandalf walked over to the both of them and placed one hand on each forehead.

Aragorn slowly shook his head while Legolas helped him up. Amber and Katie ran over to their friend's side as both Tara and Pippin began to wake.

"Tell me, both of you. What did you see."? Gandalf said, looking hard into both their eyes.

"I saw a shadowy figure standing above a great tower with dark clouds and lightning all around him. He looked evil and powerful." Tara answered. Gandlaf looked over at Pippin.

"I. I saw a white tree in a courtyard of stone. With fire all around it." Pippin answered.

"Did you tell him about the Ring and where it is now. Speak!" Gandalf said, his patience thinning.

"I. I. I saw him. He asked me my name. I didn't answer. He began to hurt me." Pippin explained, as he looked around frantically, expecting to see 'him' pop out at any moment.

"Look at me. Pippin, did you tell him anything about the Ring?" Gandalf asked more kindly this time. Pippin shook his head. Gandalf sighed and looked up at the others. "Off to bed now. There is nothing to see here!"

Everyone began to leave, Legolas and Aragorn taking the sweating and terrified Tara with them. Following behind was Amber and Katie.

A/N: You like? I might've said the wrong thing with Legolas and Aragorn when they first get outside, but.. I tried, that's all that counts right?
