Shadow and Flame

A/N: Well I think I've been up for way to long.
Chapter ten, Reunion.
Merry, Pippin, and Shade sat baking in the sun. Shade had eaten a large meal with the hobbits, and her cloths and hair were dry. She would have been happy, if she was not so nervous.
Pippin looked up from his pipe, "Why so jittery, Shade?"
"I get to see Boromir. I hope he is all right, maybe he is not even coming."
"Of course he'll come, I bet he is riding like a mad man just to get here quicker."
Shade paused as an image came into her mind of Boromir riding as Pippin had said, 'like a mad man' his hair billowing out behind him, a crazed look in his eyes."Your right." She hooked her arm over a nearby tree branch and swung her self on top of it. She lay down on the branch and tried o rest. She soon found herself sleeping soundly in the cool autumn air.

The king and all his company came around the bend and got their first glance of what was supposed to be the beautiful Isengard that was now reduced to ruble.
**I hope Shade's not in there** Boromir thought anxiously looking up at the tower, she had been the only thing on his mind during the battles of the previous days.
The group looked towards the archway and the ruined gates. There was a great rubble heap; and on it lay two small figures, one seemed to be asleep, his pipe lay next to him, the other was laying back his hands behind his head blowing out thin wisps of smoke from his pipe. Their where dishes and bottles laying about them as of they had just eaten. And as they looked up they saw a girl sleeping on a branch over head.
"Shade!" Boromir cried and leapt off his horse running towards the pile of rubble.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shade came out of her sleep when she heard her name. She sat up quickly looking around, and jumped off of the tree. "Boromir?" She saw him running to her the others coming up behind him. "Boromir!" Shade ran to him, they embraced, kissed, and laughed.
"I thought you were dead." Boromir said looking at her.
"It takes more than Orcs, an evil wizard, and a fifty foot fall to kill me." Shade was practically jumping up and down in delight.
"What, was that?" Gimli had reached the two first. Legolas came quickly behind him.
"I'll give you a the tale later, it's just good to see you all again." Shade had a grin a mile wide on her face, as did all of the others.
Legolas eyes darkened, he grabbed Shade's arm and pulled her face close to his and started at it. "How did you get that scare?"
"Oh, that, ummmm..apparently I don't take orders too well, there was this Orc, Uglùk, and..." Shade couldn't finish.
Boromir quickly looked at Shade as well. "An Orc did that to you! I am going to hunt him down and when I find him I'll." He didn't finish he just began to storm towards Isangard.
Gimli grabbed Shade's arm and drug her down to his eye level and then examined a rather uncomfortable Shade's face. "Hold on lad, I'm coming with you." Gimli pulled out his axe and stomped off to join Boromir. Legolas seemed to be the only one among the group; he just stood there and gripped his bow, imaging one of his arrows piercing the skull of the Orc.
"You guys stop! You are being ridicules." She ran and grabbed Boromir and Gimli by their ears and began to drag them back.
"Ridicules are they, I was about to join them myself." The voice came and was a little too familiar.
"Gandalf? Is that you?" Shade turned around slowly and came face to face with Gandalf, who was smiling kindly at her. "Gandalf! Your back!" Shade leapt up and hugged Gandalf as tight as she could. "I thought you were dead!"
Gandalf looked around not sure what to do, he was having trouble breathing because Shade was hugging him a little too tight, so he treated her like he did Frodo and patted her on the head. "I thought so to, I thought so to."
Merry got up and coughed purposefully, all eyes turned to him. "Welcome my lords to Isengard."
Gimli, Legolas, King Theoden, and the Hobbits began to talk about pipe weed. And Shade knowing little of the subject turned back to Gandalf.
"Where's Aragorn? And ummm, who are these other people." Shade said noticing the crowed of riders.
"Aragorn will be coming here shortly, he was scouting at the back, and this." He said gesturing at the head rider, now chatting excitedly with Pippin. "Is king Théoden."
"Oh, well, a pleasure to meet you." Shade said in the direction of the man, she was on her tiptoes and craning her neck to try and see if Aragorn were coming.
"And you too, Shade. I'm sure you will tell us all of your and the Hobbits tale when we are settled?"
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I don't want to give the full tale." Shade really did not want to tell them about the scars on her back. If one scar on her face could throw Boromir into this anger, then, well, she didn't want to think about it.
"Why not" Pippin asked. Then he seemed to remember something; he leaned over and whispered something to Gandalf. Gandalf looked grim and nodded, he walked over to Shade.
"Could you turn around?"
"Sure, anyway I can't tell you the whole story because-ACK!" Gandalf had pulled up the back of her shirt.
"Hhhmmm.." The wizard traced the scars with his finger. "Could this be the reason?"
By this time Boromir, Gimli, and Legolas had gathered around her.
"What in the hells!" Boromir glared at the scars on her back. "The same Orc I Gather?"
"I'll separate his head from his shoulders when I see him!" Gimli growled, he thought of Shade as he would a little sister, the same went for Legolas. "Not if I don't take his eyes out first." Legolas pulled out one of his arrows.
"Uh, yeah." Shade felt very awkward, she wasn't used to people fussing over her like this.
"They look like they have been infected Shade. Who healed them?"
"Saruman."
"Saruman!" Arargorn's voice carried over to the group. "What is I here about him-" Aragorn came to a halt as he saw Shade's face and back. Shade grinned at him sheepishly.
"Hello Aragorn, nice day isn't it?"
"I think my dear," Gandalf said as he lowered the back of her shirt. "That you had better give us a FULL account."
Shade sighed and slumped to the ground, she folded her legs and began to relate her tale, with several outbursts from the hoobits.
A/N: What do you think?? I sorry about what I am about to tell you, but my story will be delayed for awhile. I still haven't read the 3rd book. I AM SO ASAMED! So it could take awhile.
