A/N: Next chapter! This is A/U and Leiawyn is a Mary Sue. It will follow the plot of the movie. Also this story is HOT! It gets flamed every time I turn around! If anyone has a problem with this story flame me, then stop reading it. The more I get flamed the more I want to write!
Joan Milligan: It didn't hurt and I won't bite you. Actually you are my first flame ever so I want to say thank you. I got a flame! Hehe! Alas, I don't plan on writing a REAL STORY. Yes, Leiawyn is most likely going to be a Mary Sue I accept that. However, I don't know for sure if she will latch onto Eomer and suck him dry. We'll have to wait and see. I love LOTR the *BOOKS*, but I'm not Tolkien, I can't write like him and I'm not going to even try to. I will make up names I want regardless of if they are what would be found in Middle Earth. Aragorn has been in Leiawyn's life since she was born so he would trust her with anything. He taught her to use her sword every time he came to visit, so teaching someone for an hour every couple months is not hard to do, even for him. No she will not save Eomer. I have other things in mind and I'm too lazy for proper punctuation. Oh and about the whole Eomer's wife thing I did mention this is slight A/U and will bend things to my will. I happen to like my plot, don't give a flying fig about canon, and I'm selfish so I will keep it. I am also a fan of the BOOKS. Just because the movie brought Eomer to my attention more then the books did the first couple times around, does not mean I am not a fan of the books. I'm not going to get real and I'm not going to stop. My advise to you is that, as far as I know, there is no rule that says a person HAS to read a story if you don't like mine don't read it. I have stopped read several I didn't like. ~Sorry for everyone else having to read this~
Welsh-dragoon: Thank you! I have seen more Eomer stories popping up so hopefully it will change and he will be added to the list.
The Black Lady of Rohan: Ditto to what was said to Joan Milligan. Damn straight Karl Urban is cute, but his performance of Eomer brought the character to my attention fully. I can say he is my favorite character if I want to, and he is my favorite, so get over that.
Agent Orange: I like my mixed Strider/Aragorn name! Read my response to Joan Milligan on the whole name thing. I HATE Star Wars thank you very much! (No offence to Star Wars fans! It just isn't my cup of tea) Yes, she is a Mary Sue and I think she is a good one!
Tara: I hope to get to him in this chapter and the next.
Rachel: I'm soooooo glad you like it! It is people like you that help me to piss on the flamers and put them out!

Leiawyn had been in Lothlorien for two weeks when the Fellowship decided it was time to be on their way. They knew they had a long and dangerous road ahead of them and were ready to face whatever lies in their futures. Lady Galadriel was giving her blessing to the group and delivering each person with a farewell gift. Finally she stopped before Leiawyn and looked at her with kind eyes.
"My dear child, this is not a quest you were to partake in. However, fate seems to have other plans for you. Know this, there is always hope. You may not feel it, but hope is always there. Now I give you this." She placed a small blue gemstone around Leiawyn's neck. "This necklace shall protect you, even from things you do not know you need protecting from." Leiawyn thanked Lady Galadriel, holding the beautiful stone between her fingers, and carefully got into the boat with Legolas and Gimli.
"So do you like boats?" Legolas asked as they paddled into the main current of the river.
"Not really, no. When I was seven a boat I was riding in capsized and I was trapped underwater. My father managed to turn it upright, but now I fear boats." Leiawyn held onto the sides of the boat tightly. The current was strong and Leiawyn was a poor swimmer.
"Fear not, my lady. I know for a fact the elf will not capsize us. If he does he will have a very angry, wet dwarf to deal with!" Gimli reassured her.
"Well then! For fear of an angry, wet dwarf, thought that would be a grand sight, I will not do anything that can result in capsizing." Legolas informed the two occupants of the boat. Leiawyn laughed and eased up on her grip on the sides. Though she continued to hang on.
After a day of traveling down river, they pulled to the shore where they could hide from view and set up camp. After eating a hot meal, and sharing in some tales about the Shire with the hobbits, Leiawyn bid everyone goodnight and went to sleep on her blanket in the corner of camp.
~Leiawyn's dream~
She was running through the woods to the sound of the battle ahead. Branches scratched her legs and arms, drawing blood. She pressed on, her father was in the fight and she heard the Rangers were heavily out numbered by orcs. Finally she broke through the trees to the clearing where the battle was taking place, and froze in horror at what she saw. Orcs were everywhere, at least a hundred. Many laid dead or dying on the ground, in pools of black blood. More were still fighting the Rangers. Looking around she saw that four Rangers lay dead on ground.
While Leiawyn tried to see if one of the four was her father, an orc attacked her from behind. They fell to the ground and Leiawyn struggled to get out from under the orc. It sneered as he raised his weapon to kill her. Leiawyn reached for an orc sword laying next to her. She grasped the handle and lifted the sword, swinging, cleanly removing the orcs head. Foul, black blood filled her mouth and she rolled over gagging. Once she felt her stomach was empty, she struggled to her feet and turned to the battle. Standing before her, blocking her path, was her father.
"Father! Your ok!" Leiawyn stepped forward. He was about to say something, when a sword pierced his chest from behind. The tip of the blade extended far enough that it stabbed Leiawyn in the chest also. Crying out in pain and anger, she watched the light leave her father's eyes as he fell.
"FATHER!"
~ End Dream~
"Father!" Leiawyn cried out as she woke up from the nightmare. Her dress clung to her sweaty body and her heart raced. She sat up and rubbed the scar on her chest. It was throbbing in pain.
"Are you ok?! What is wrong?" Aragorn was at her side in a second demanding to know. Legolas and Boromir came running up next with Gimli lagging behind. The four hobbits watched from a distance.
"Nothing. I am fine, just a bad dream. Everyone go back to sleep." Aragorn grabbed her hand and moved it to look at the scar. He gave her a questioning look, and she sighed then told him of her father's death. He listened silently to the entire tale, as did the others. When she had finished he stroked her cheek then told her to sleep. Legolas promised to stay near her and if she looked like she was having another nightmare he would wake her up. After everyone but Legolas left Leiawyn drifted into an restless sleep.
A few days later, after many miles traveling down river, the group had come to the lawn of Parth Galen and decided to set up camp there. Leiawyn was resting on a rock by the river, watching the water, when she heard Aragorn ask where Frodo was. Hopping off the rock, she joined the others to see what was wrong. The group decided to search for Frodo and Boromir who were both missing. Aragorn told Leiawyn to stay with Merry and Pippin and keep alert. He did not know for sure what lurked in the woods, but Legolas did not trust them. As she walked with the two hobbits, Leiawyn became more unnerved. She could handle a sword well, but not great. Here she was, responsible for two hobbits, and if anything attacked she was unsure of what to do. She didn't even think she could protect herself. Then she heard it, the battle cries of orcs. She was drew her sword and told Merry and Pippin to run. At least if they ran they stood a chance of surviving.
The two hobbits paused then ran deeper into the woods, and Leiawyn stood to face the orcs as they came spilling over the hill, giving off bone chilling cries. The second they got close enough she started to swing. She was unsure of where the hobbits were, praying they were ok, she kept fighting. Leiawyn was stabbing one orc when another orc slashed her leg. She fell on the ground as pain shot through her. A large orc was standing over her with his sword raised, when suddenly Boromir came out of the trees and hewed the orc with his sword. Leiawyn managed to stand on her good leg and was helping Boromir when an arrow pierced his chest. Leiawyn froze as she watched the brave, strong captain of her city fall. She didn't hear the large orc come up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her knocking her sword down. She tried to squeeze out of his grasp when everything went dark. The last thing she saw was Boromir dying.
***********************************************************************
As Leiawyn opened her eyes, she wondered 'Where am I?'. She didn't know how long she had been passed out and had no clue as to where she was. Trying to move she realized her hands and feet were bound tightly in rope and she had a gag in her mouth. Sitting up she felt the world tilt and got dizzy, the blow to her head from earlier still giving her problems. Taking a few deep breaths she steadied herself and looked around. 'Orcs! I'm with orcs!' She was sitting on the edge of a large camp of orcs! She tried to back away, ignoring the pain that danced evilly in her leg, when she bumped into something.
"They said we can't eat the little ones, but how about you? You look nice and tasty." Leiawyn looked up at the orc blocking her escape and shivered. "No one is looking I will just have a bite." He reached down to grab her arm, when a spear struck him in the head, killing him instantly.
Leiawyn tried to scream through the gag as men on horses attacked the band of orc. If she didn't get away they would kill her too. In the panic that ensued, she tried to untie her hands on the small knife that hung from the dead orc, when a horse rode by and the rider picked her up. He pulled her in front of him and rode to the edge of the battle. Leiawyn struggled to get away terrified of what these men would do to her. The man behind her held onto her tightly. After another couple of minutes of chaos, the fighting seemed to have stopped. Looking around Leiawyn saw the riders were starting to pile up the bodies of the orcs to burn. The rider she was with stopped his horse in front of another rider. This new rider looked even more threatening than the orcs.
"Lord Eomer. I found this girl being attacked by an Orc. She is bleeding and needs aid." Leiawyn's rider inform the tall, fierce looking man on the other horse.
"How did you see her? It was dark." Eomer asked suspiciously as he looked at Leiawyn carefully. Noticing the dark, dried blood that mixed with mud, and fresher bright red blood covering her right leg.
"Well.. Lord she glowed." The rider said quietly almost afraid.
"She glowed? What do you mean by glow?" Eomer asked locking eyes with Leiawyn. She could tell he did not trust her and her proof was his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
"Her necklace, my lord. It glowed and I was able to tell what she was." Her rider answered slowly. Acting as if Eomer would not believe such a tale. Leiawyn held her breath. 'Please believe this tale. Otherwise I am sure to die.' She prayed.
"That is hard to believe my friend. However, she is hurt. Take her back to the camp and see that she is tended to. Keep an eye on her and don't let her leave. There are many questions I have for her." He reached out and gently fingered her necklace. Leiawyn felt a tingle race through her body at his touch. "A necklace that glows my lady? What is a young woman like you doing being held captive by orcs? That is a fine puzzle, but I intend to put it together."
He said something to the rider in a language Leiawyn did not understand, and then turned to tend to the burning of the orcs. Leiawyn's rider rode off fast into the deep night and she glanced over her shoulder at Eomer once more. 'I have many questions for you too' she thought as he slipped farther and farther away.
