Pain radiated through my body as I came back to awareness. "Aragorn..." I whimpered shifting slightly. "Ow..." I cried bumping my arm on something.
"Lay still little one." A soft voice ordered.
"Aragorn?" I questioned slowly opening my eyes.
"Nay it is Rumil." The soft voice replied.
"Where is Aragorn?" I asked looking up at the elf.
"Aragorn went to Isengard with Gandalf." Rumil stated gently. "They will return soon." He reassured seeing my eyes widened slightly.
I looked around the room tiredly. "How long did I sleep?" I asked.
"About twelve hours Shealyn." Haldir spoke before Rumil could answer. "You had us all worried."
"S... sorry." I murmured starring at the cloak on my lap.
"There is no need to be sorry young one." Rumil replied softly. "You fought bravely out there." He added resting a hand on my shoulder.
I yawned struggling to keep my eyes open. Orophin chuckled as the elf brothers watched my loosing battle. "Sleep now hên maethor. (Child warrior)" He said softly.
Reluctantly complying with the elf's soft order I lay back down on the makeshift bed. "Wake me when they return?" I asked sleepily.
"Do not worry Shealyn." Rumil said with a smile. "We will wake you upon their return."
I nodded closing my eyes hearing Rumil's soft voice singing an Elvish lullaby.

"It amazes me that she fought like a true warrior out there" Orophin muttered watching his younger brother brush a stray raven lock from the child's face as he sang a lullaby that Haldir would sing to them when they were younger.
"Yes brother, Shealyn is the strongest girl I have ever seen in my long life" Haldir replied coming to stand beside his oldest younger brother.
Orophin turned to his brother. "I believe our dear younger brother has taken a liking to this girl" Orophin smirked. "Rumil always wanted a younger sister. I think he hated being the youngest" He whispered glancing back at the pair in the corner.
"I believe you are right brother" Haldir murmured. "I think Shealyn is the best thing that has happened to him since our parents..." His voice trailed off as he remembered that day many, many years ago.
"Rumil come and get something to eat" Orophin called softly to his brother as to not wake Shealyn.
"Nay brother" Rumil responded looking up at his older brother. "I wish to stay with Shealyn until Aragorn returns" He said.
"Come brother you have sat with the child since they left. You need some rest Rumil you are weary" Haldir said his voice soft but firm.
Rumil shook his head crossing his arms over his green tunic. Haldir sighed in frustration and defeat backing away from his youngest brother. "Come Orophin" He called.
Orophin looked at his older brother in disbelief but complied slowly backing away until he turned and left with Haldir.

***Dream***
"Uncle Walker..." little Shealyn asked tugging the ranger's sleeve.
Walker turned and knelt before the small girl. "Yes Shealyn what is it?" He questioned resting his hands on her small shoulders.
"When will my heart stop hurting?" She asked. "Why did Mamma, Daddy, and Chance go away?"
Sighing Walker pulled the little girl into a hug. "It was their time to go honey." He answered. "It will heal in time."
"Uncle Walker I wish they didn't go away." Shealyn whispered.
"I know I wish they were still here too." Walker replied.
Tears streamed down Shealyn's cheeks as Walker pulled the little girl into his arms once more.
"Everything will be ok Shealyn." Walker whispered into her hair.
***End of Dream***
I woke as dream faded away leaving me with the dark memories that I wished would have stayed locked away. I looked around finding Rumil sleeping at my side and about a dozen or so others sleeping peacefully on the other side. ~Don't want to sleep anymore~ I thought as I got to my feet and quietly made my way out.
"Help me!" A voice called out weakly from behind a door to the right.
I went to the door pressing my ear to the wood. "Help me!" the voice cried out again.
Turning the door handle I slowly opened it and peered into the room. There on the bed lay a wounded Rohirrim who was crying out in his sleep. The man tossed and turned his light blonde hair plastered to his sweaty forehead. Moving over to the bed I gently shook his shoulder. "Wake up you're dreamin'." I urgently whispered as his eyes opened abruptly.
"What... where am I?" The confused man asked his eyes wild and unfocused.
"Shh..." I whispered gently taking the man's hand in my own. "You are at Helms Deep. After the battle they found you out there. They fixed ya up." I told him.
The man's eyes finally focused on my face and a small smile appeared on his face. "What is your name young one?" He asked squeezing my hand.
"I'm Shealyn." I answered. "What is your name?" I countered.
"I am called Rhunyc..." He mumbled. "You are the young girl that accompanied Lord Aragorn are you not?"
Nodding I sat on the bed beside him. "I don't believe I'll walk out of here alive." Rhunyc confided gravely shifting uncomfortably on the bed.
"Do not speak that way." I told him squeezing his hand.
Rhunyc looked away from me completely ashamed of himself. "I... I see pain in your eyes young one... why?" He asked turning to look up at me.
I sighed remembering everything that had happened in my past. "Before I went on the quest... I had a clouded past..." I paused. "......... but why am I wasting your time in telling my sob story..."
"No please continue..." Rhunyc interrupted. "... your voice sounds so much like my daughter's."
I nodded again. "After leaving Lothlorien I began to have dreams..."
"What kind of dreams?" Rhunyc questioned sitting up slowly.
"The dreams are of my past... Rhunyc." I answered.
Tears welled up in my eyes. "When I was younger I lost some important people of my past."
"Who were they?" Rhunyc asked gently bringing his hand up to wipe the tears away.
"My... my parents... my brother... my uncle." I stammered.
"I am sorry young one... Shealyn." Rhunyc corrected himself.
"Thank you..." I whispered.
Rhunyc's eyes grew heavy and he became feverish. "Raina will you sing to me?" He asked.
Sadly I realized his time was short and through this new delirium he thought I was his daughter. "Yes father I will sing to you." I whispered softly falling into the roll he had put upon me.
"We're tied to our memories: they won't let us stray.
We're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday.
We look to our future and we make all our plans
as if we control what is out of our hands.
The world keeps on turning I'm learning to see
right where I am is where I have to be.
You can't count the pages; all ages hear the call.
No matter how hard we try, life gets away from us all.
We start getting older the moment we live,
look over your shoulder there's hindsight to give.
Come good days and bad days the sun's gonna rise,
so why look beyond what's in front of your eyes.
The world keeps on turning I'm learning to see
right where I am is where I have to be.
You can't count the pages; all ages hear the call.
No matter how hard we try, life gets away from us all.
No matter how hard we try,
life gets away from us all." (A/N: Life Gets Away belongs to Clint Black)
I looked up at Rhunyc who lay watching me with sorrow in his eyes. "You sang beautifully Raina." He whispered weakly. "Tell your mother goodbye for me."
I nodded sadly as Rhunyc took in a last shuddering breath as his body went still.
"Rest in peace Rhunyc..." I whispered gently placing his hand on his chest.
Leaning forward I carefully closed his unseeing eyes for the last time. Standing up I went to the door suppressing tears as I walked out into the hallway. Resting against the wall I ran my fingers through my hair. ~Death is never easy~ I thought sadly making my way down the hall.
"Where is my husband?" I heard a woman's frantic voice ask around the corner
Rounding the corner quickly I approached the woman who had a girl a little older then I beside her. "Who do you look for milady?" I questioned praying it wasn't Rhunyc.
"We are looking for my father..." The girl replied. "His name is Rhunyc." She added.
"Milady... I know where your husband is, but I carry ill news...." My voice faltered. "... Rhunyc passed away a few minutes ago." I stated quietly my eyes finding the floor.
The woman let out a sob and collapsed on the floor rocking back and forth. "Please milady will you take us to him?" the girl asked who was kneeling beside her mother.
I nodded helping the girl support her sobbing mother. Slowly making our way back to the room I opened the door. "Raina..." The woman called tears in her voice.
Raina took her mother's arm and led her over to the bed. I watched sadly as the two collapsed onto the bed sobbing. Knowing they needed solitude I inched my way out of the door and leaned heavily against the wall.
"There you are..." I looked up to find Rumil and Haldir coming swiftly down the hall. "You had us worried little one." He added as they came to stand in front of me.
Haldir watched me closely before pulling me into an embrace. "It will be alright Shealyn." He whispered stroking my hair.
Nodding silently Haldir steered me back to the area where the elves were resting. "Tell us what upset you so deeply?" Rumil asked obviously seeing the pain and grief in my eyes.
"Another good man died in that room." I gestured towards the hall we had just come from. "I was with him when he died." I whispered my voice strained.
"Oh Shealyn..." Haldir responded pulling me into a comforting embrace.
I melted into the elf's embrace. "You need to sleep little one." He whispered as he brought the both of us to the floor.
Closing my eyes I fell to sleep to the soothing voices of Rumil and Haldir.
************************************************************************
"I don't want to go to school." I mumbled feeling someone shake my shoulder.
Chuckles filled the area as the person continued to shake me. "Alright I'm up." I grumbled wiping the sleep out of my eyes and sitting up. "Who's the wise guy that woke me..." I started to ask when I realized who was standing before me. "... Merry?" I enquired looking up at the hobbit.
Merry nodded helping me to stand before encircling his arms around my waist. "I missed you Shealyn." He said looking me over. "I worried for you and when you were not with Aragorn and the others I became frantic." With that said Merry's cheeks flushed.
"I'm ok Merry..." I looked around at the others who stood in the room. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli... "Where's Pip and Gandalf?" I asked.
"Gandalf took Pippin to Isengard." Aragorn spoke up. "Do not worry about him he is fine.
I went to Aragorn with a small smile before I encircled my arms around his waist. "I missed ya Aragorn." I whispered into his tunic.
Hearing him chuckle I looked up at him. "I missed you to little one..." He said. "... are you upset with me for leaving you behind?" He asked somewhat apprehensive of my answer.
"I am upset Aragorn, but I understand why you left me." I interrupted wrapping my arms tighter around his waist.
Aragorn returned the hug and smiled at the others in the room. "Rumil, Orophin, Haldir may I speak with you privately?" He asked looking at the three brothers.
The three in question nodded following the ranger and the other remaining adult members of the fellowship (minus Merry) out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Something happened while we were gone." Aragorn stated closing the door behind him.
Rumil nodded sadly. "A man passed away last night and Shealyn happened to be with him. It was very hard on her but she held strong until she was with us once more." He confided with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.
"She has seen many deaths in her young life." Legolas spoke up.
"Indeed." Gimli replied while the others agreed.
"Come let us get some rest." Aragorn spoke. "We leave for Dunharrow in the morning.
The six left the room and went back to where they left the others. Shealyn and Merry were chatting merrily in the corner while the other Lorien elves talked of home to pass the time.
*** Hey this is where I stop. That was too much death talk there in the chapter. I'm sorry for the somewhat shorter then usual chapter, but I wanted Dunharrow and the Path of the Dead all in one chapter I hope. Thanks again guys for your understanding I appreciate it. Friday is my Senior awards assembly and next week as I said was exams so I'll be busy studying. The next update could take two weeks. I'll try to work on it. I hoped you enjoyed. R&R! ***
