Disclaimer: Haven't put this on for the last few chapters.hope that
doesn't come back to haunt me. But I still don't own any of the Lord of
the Rings characters!
A/N: thank your for reviewing all those who did (only two.I want to cry, I feel like a bad author now).
After a long night of packing, Allyn and Blaire fell into bed for a few hours of sleep. They woke at dawn, and went into the main hall with their bags.
Aragorn and Boromir were in a mock swordfight, and Legolas was cleaning off his knives. Gimli was nowhere to be found, and Gandalf was once again napping.
Blaire and Allyn looked at each other, then went to a table and sat down. Aragorn and Boromir broke off the fight once they noticed the two teenagers sitting at the table.
"Good morning," Blaire said cheerfully.
"I suppose. I don't like the fact that we're leaving though," Boromir muttered.
'Why?" Allyn asked.
"He doesn't think Helm's Deep is strong enough," Aragorn replied.
"Well-" Blaire started, but was interrupted by Allyn's elbow jabbing into her side. "Never mind," she said.
Aragorn and Boromir exchanged suspicious looks, but didn't say anything.
"When do we leave?" Allyn asked, changing the subject.
"Pretty soon. I suggest you go find someone safe to store your things with."
"Oh that's taken care of. We're taking Blaire's horse."
"Your horse?" Aragorn asked Blaire.
"Yeah, the one I rode in on. I put him in the stable last night with Shadowfax, because I knew no one else was going to take care of him," she replied.
"Oh right," he said. "Well, I better go pack up my things as well, " Aragorn said, and walked away.
"Did you ride where you came from?" Boromir asked.
Blaire shook her head. "No, I'd never really ridden before, but it wasn't hard to learn. Besides, it came easy after all the karate."
Allyn nodded. "So watch it. She can kick your butt."
Boromir raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Let's see it then." He stood up, and Blaire followed him. They went to the middle of the room, and Blaire dropped into a fighting stance. Boromir smiled a really cocky smile, and threw a punch at her. She blocked it and threw him to the ground. He landed on his back, and slowly stood back up. He continued to throw punches at her until he couldn't get up again. By this time, the two had a crowd watching them, and as Blaire helped Boromir to his feet, they cheered.
Blaire smiled and backed away from Boromir. "You put up a good fight there, my friend!"
He smiled at her and turned away, then winced. I didn't know women could do that, he thought, and went away to repair his ego.
Allyn walked next to Aragorn's horse and chatted with him. The city of Edoras had been emptied and they were headed to Helm's Deep. Blaire had gotten into a heated discussion with Legolas a long time ago about whether or not his hair color was real, and Boromir and Gimli were arguing over who was hotter: Galadriel or Eowyn.
"So you've only had one boyfriend?" Aragorn asked in surprise.
"Yep. I don't think the males at my school are very intelligent, so I've pretty much given up on them completely," Allyn replied.
"That's a shame," Aragorn said.
"Why, were you planning on making any moves?" Allyn asked wickedly.
Aragorn blushed and turned away. Actually, I'm finding it hard not to, especially because I'm really debating on whether or not it would be proper to pour a canteen of cold water down my pants, he thought to himself.
Allyn smiled to herself and caught up with Blaire, who was riding Nightshade, her horse, and Legolas. They were now talking about swordsmanship and the difference between that and hand to hand combat. Allyn shook her head, then tapped Blaire's leg. Blaire looked down, then stopped Nightshade and hopped off. "What?"
"I just had a most interesting conversation with Aragorn," Allyn said.
"Oh really. What was it about?" There was nothing innocent about Blaire's grin.
Allyn returned the grin with a smirk of her own and told Blaire the story. When she had finished the story, Blaire's grin was bigger than ever, and she whispered, "Well, it appears as though you're going to get your man after all."
Allyn pretended to look shocked, but grinned. "I don't know. I mean, if the rumors are true, he's still fiercely loyal to Arwen-" "I can take care of that."
"Thanks for the offer, dear, but I think I can take her myself. Anyways, she's supposedly leaving soon, so maybe once she's gone I can find some way to get Aragorn's attention."
"Doesn't sound to me like it'll be that hard. It's not like he's trippin' over her or anything."
Allyn was about to reply when Aragorn and Boromir flew past on horses, and Eowyn approached them. "We have to lead the way to Helm's Deep. There are scouts all over the place, and that means there's someone out there waiting for us. Hurry!"
Blaire turned around to find Nightshade, but she found a soldier on him. "Take him," Blaire said. "Just bring him back to me."
The soldier flew off, and Blaire and Allyn ran to catch up to Eowyn.
Once the crowd from Edoras reached Helm's Deep, Eowyn, Blaire, and Allyn waited for the warriors to return. Blaire was mostly waiting to see that the soldier who took Nightshade returned, but she was a little worried about the group from the broken Fellowship.
"I should have fought," Eowyn said quietly. "I wanted to fight. But Uncle wouldn't let me, and I listened to him."
"Well, you were the only one who knew how to get here, right? And I feel bad, I could have done something. I'm trained," Blaire replied.
Just then, a small group of riders rode through the gate. Theoden was at the front, and Blaire scanned the group for the four who really mattered to her. She found three.
"So few," Eowyn said to Theoden.
Allyn didn't look too surprised to find so few, and Blaire knew she shouldn't have been too worried either, but she was still wondering if Aragorn wasn't going to come back.
Legolas moved his horse closer to the girls, and dismounted. Blaire realized that his horse was Nightshade. "Where's the soldier who took him?"
Legolas shook his head. "He won't be returning, and.I fear Aragorn may not be returning either."
Eowyn turned away and ran off.
Gimli joined Legolas, and Boromir too. They went with Allyn and Blaire up to find chambers so they could rest. Even having not fought, the girls were exhausted, and fell immediately asleep, Allyn in Legolas' arms and Blaire in Boromir's.
The plot thickens. Read and review!
