Chapter 13 Forth to Helms Deep

Thanx for reading so far, please keep on reviewing!

Summary: Upon hearing the news of Aragorns loss, Eowyn grieves.

Aragorn woke, his head on Arwens shoulder, she still slumbered. He kissed her lips, lingering there, and then started to kiss her neck.

She woke, "Aragorn you must go to Helms Deep, without me. "You would not leave me," he said, pulling her closer to him.

"I must go to fetch Haldir, let us hope he brings forth his army with him."

He picked her up, sat her up on her horse, pulled her towards him and kissed her one last time, before letting her go.

"I pray that our numbers are not too small," he muttered to himself. Mounting Brego he travelled towards Isengard.

He had to get an idea about how large the enemy army was.

Upon reaching Isengard his jaw dropped. Overall, there were about 10,000 Uruk - hai, surrounding the tower of Isengard.

He turned sharply and headed off for Helms Deep.

He burst through its great doors "We all thought the worst had happened to you," said Legolas, embracing him and handing him back his pendant.

"Aragorn!" it was Gimli "You had us all fooled," he roared, slapping him hard on the back.

"I must speak with the king, tell me where is he?" "He is within," said Legolas, gesturing towards the keep. "Though he seems deeply troubled." "He will be even more so when he hears, what I have to tell," said Aragorn, face grave.

In the distance he spotted Eowyn, her eyes shone, her face lit up, joy was restored in her once again. He beamed at her 'still beautiful' he thought.
