Five hours later, the battle was well under way, and Blaire was busily fighting off the massive hordes of raving mad Uruk-Hai. She drove her kamas into the chest of the orc standing in front of her, then pivoted off, drew her sword, and slit the throat of the one standing ninety degrees to her left.

She sheathed her sword, wrenched her kamas out of the Uruk-Hai, and turned to look for her friend. As she turned, she found an orc standing right in front of her. She stood frozen.

Suddenly, the orc fell, and she saw Legolas standing at the top of the stairs, pointing the bow in her direction. He winked at her, and went about slaying the orcs around him. (A/N: Yes, this is the part where he pulls the cool ride-the-shield-down-the-stairs-while-firing-off-arrows trick).

The Horn of Gondor sounded, and Blaire turned to see the inside wall of Helm's Deep fall. Aragorn's voice rang out, calling, "Fall back! FALL BACK!"

Blaire turned and ran with Allyn to the gates, pushing through fighting bodies and finally getting safely inside the stronghold.

Aragorn and Boromir quickly followed, and they helped the Rohan soldiers bar the door. There was nowhere left to hide. It seemed that the battle was over, and the people of Rohan were doomed.

Theoden was sulking over his imminent loss when Aragorn came up with the brilliant idea to ride out and meet the orcs. It sounded like a good idea when paired with Gandalf's arrival, but Allyn and Blaire weren't so sure.

Theoden's resolution to that conflict was to send them down to the caverns to tell Eowyn to lead the women and children through the mountains to safety, unless someone called them back.

When Aragorn mounted Nightshade, Blaire made him promise to bring him back. He just winked at her, and the two girls ran down to pass the message on to Eowyn.



Following the tremendous victory at Helm's Deep, but preceding the journey to Isengard, a celebration was thrown. The people of Rohan rejoiced at their sudden freedom from the presence of Saruman in their beloved country.

The broken-Fellowship members and the girls joined in. Aragorn acted on his not-so-well-hidden lust for Allyn. The two were currently making out in a corner.

Eowyn was glaring at them. She watched for a few minutes, then growled and sat next to Blaire.

Blaire glanced at the love-struck couple, then focused on Eowyn. "Don't even bother with him," she said dismissively. "The son of Arathorn has a bit of a cheating problem. He's got an elf girlfriend back in Rivendell, and she's not the only one he fancies here." She looked meaningfully at Eowyn. "But I, of course, have my own opinions of the future King of Men."

"Oh, do share," Boromir said sarcastically as he and Legolas joined the women.

"Aragorn is a good man," Legolas said.

Eowyn, Boromir, and Blaire snorted.

Legolas rolled his eyes, then looked around for a minute and asked, "Speaking of Aragorn, where is he? And where's Gimli?"

"Aragorn is over there putting the moves on my best friend, and Gimli.good question; where is Gimli?" Blaire replied.

Eowyn and Boromir shrugged.

"Oh well. I'm sure he can handle himself. Seems he beat you in your little contest there, hmm my Elven friend?" Blaire asked, grinning.

Legolas flushed a nice shade of pink, then mumbled something in Elvish.

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, dear."

Legolas glared at her.

The band started to play a new tune, and Boromir glanced at Eowyn. "You look like you need some cheering up. Come on, let's dance."

Eowyn readily agreed (she needed a way to get Aragorn jealous) and off they went to dance, leaving Blaire and Legolas alone together.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, both feeling a little uncomfortable, and Blaire finally said, "You know, I'm not feeling this whole party scene. Let's go for a walk, shall we?"

Nodding his agreement, Legolas stood up and offered Blaire an arm. She linked hers with his, and they went off into the darkness.

"So tell me, elf-prince, what do you do for fun in Mirkwood?" Blaire asked, trying to make conversation.

Legolas frowned. "Fun? Fun.oh yes, fun. That's the thing you don't have when you've been trying to get back on your father's good side after turning down the hand of the elf-maiden Kiani."

Blaire raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Why did you turn her down?"

"Because she wasn't for me. Most Elves are warriors, but I've found that the elf-women I know.well they aren't the toughest. They actually have probably never touched a weapon in their lives. And that's not what I'm looking for."

"So you're looking for someone tough."

Legolas nodded. "I'm looking for the traditional elf.but apparently they don't exist anymore."

"Well what is the traditional elf? I mean, obviously things are changing; most of your kind is leaving this place and going to the undying lands."

"That's why I've stopped looking."

Blaire stopped dead in her tracks. "You've stopped looking? You've just given up. I'm sure you haven't met all of your possibilities. And I'm sure there's a million of them out there who are dreaming of being with the Prince of Mirkwood."

"That's the point," Legolas said, turning to her. "I don't want her to love me because I'm the Prince. I want her to love me for who I am. I want to have to fight to earn her respect, not fight to be away from her for two minutes." He reached out and put his hands on her waist, drawing her in. "But I've already fought you. The only question is: have I earned your respect?"

He leaned in and kissed her.and that lead to a massive snogging session, which will not be put into words.





I swear that that's the only time I'll ever write a serious romantic scene. The rest of the story will be funny.I promise.

P.S. Kamas are a martial arts weapon.but they're hard to explain so if you really feel like it, you can look them up online. If not then.sucks to be you.
