Now you got my style! Ooh, "Bump bump bump" is on! :P
***************
Gimli looked around and drank the ale.He didn't eat the cram. Nasty stuff. He had been watching Melanna all day, looking for a vantage point, a weakness. None appeared. None.
Aargh! She had to have something. Everyone has a weakness! There appeared to be a exception to every rule.
Aragorn and Legolas were held back by excuse after excuse. They could tell Eowyn was keeping them from going after Gimli. It was near midnight when Eomer entered the infirmary quietly. In his arms was a tall man, wounded and weak.(AN: The next part is wierd, I know. Theodred is supposed to be dead already. Oh well^.^!) Aragorn and Legolas were to be asleep then, but they both awoke at his entrance. Eomer lay the body on an empty bed farther down the hall. He groaned and closed his eyes.
Eowyn rushed over to the man. She checked him over and turned to Eomer. Both Legolas and Aragorn heard her clearly.
"What has happened to him? Theodred..."She muttered to him, holding back tears. Eomer took a deep breath, looked at Theodred and spoke to Eowyn, looking her right in the eyes.
" Sister. Orcs approached us from the east and we rode out to meet them." He motioned towards the man on the bed, Thoedred and continued
"This is the result. Theodred is hurt and the orcs are overtaken. He fought bravely."
A tear fell from Eowyn's eyes and Eomer hugged her to him, saying comforting things to her. She pushed away from him eventually, as though with an idea. Tears streaked her cheeks when she looked up at him.
" I have an idea. He will live through this. He is strong." Eomer reached out to touch her face, shaking his head. Eowyn pulled away from him with a start. "No. I have an idea, Eomer. We can heal him. Do you remember the stories Theoden used to tell us of Stranger Alley.Theoden allowed them to stay here as Safe Haven. He asked no thanks. He got none. Now we ask and recieve. They cannot refuse." Eowyn finished.
Eomer just nodded and huggged her.
Eowyn had been sitting by Theodred's bed all night. They could not take him till early morning. Just before sunrise, Eomer and Eowyn hauled Theodred outside and Legolas and Aragorn watched through the window unoticed. Eomer mounted his horse and they pulled Theodred up befofre him. Eomer motioned towards Eowyn but she spoke to him and walked back inside. She saw the 2 sitting by the window and signalled for them to follow. Eowyn led them outside to 3 horses. She took one and they took the others and followed Eomer.
The 5 arrived at the enterance to the same alley Gimli had dissapeared down, Stranger Way. Legolas halted for a moment but Eowyn urged them forward. The alley was even darker this early but still Eomer and Eowyn ventured down it. Aragorn followec carefully and Legolas had his hand on his knife. Eomer looked around and turned to Eowyn questioning.
" Mayhaps they have left?" Eowyn shook her head quickly, her eyes focused in front of Eomer's horse. The horse gave out a quiet neigh and Eomer turned back to it. A woman was standing before him, petting the horse silently. Eomer allowed her to do so. She looked up at him and smiled kindly. Before any could think she clapped her hands twice. A wall of elves blocked any exit out of the alley.(An: "Killing me softly" is on so Im gonna go soft for 3 minutes:))
The girl clapped once more and the wall broke and heading down the alley towards her. They re-assembled behind her in a row. She bowed and spoke to Eowyn.
" I am Melanna. You are the Lady Eowyn. MiLady, Our paths have never before crossed. (an:Eminem again. Aargh!) What to bring them together now?" The girl asked with caution.
Eowyn dismounted and approached Melanna, putting a hand on the elf's shoulder. "We have a problem. You are the only peoples who can help us now." Melanna looked at Eowyn and the hand on her shoulder. She looked back to Eowyn and nodded. Eowyn dropped her hand and led Melanna over to Theodred's horse. Eomer looked down at them and Theodred groaned.
Melanna turned to the elves behind her and montioned for 4 of them to step forward. 3 males and 1 female came up and Eomer dismounted. At once the elves pulled Thoedred off the mare and held him between them. Melanna spoke to them.
"Man na yes? Ara?" Melanna inquired in elvish. Eomer and Eowyn looked puzzled at her fair speech. Aragorn spoke back to her in her language.
" Ara. N encoi." Melanna stared at him. She nodded at him and motioned fro them to follow her down the alley. The body of Theodred was carried before them slowly.
