In the glistening caves Arwen sat against the wall, nervously clenching her hands. They had all heard the explosion beforehand. It even shook the caves. They all knew that the wall had been breached. She just hoped that Aragorn and the others were all right. She glanced up as she heard a small voice in front of her.
"Are you an elf?"
Before her a little girl stood, no more than seven years old. Her hair was long and blonde, pulled up halfway to stay out of her face. A woman, most likely her mother ran up and took the girls hand.
"Freda. Come now, you mustn't bother the lady." Looking up to Arwen she said, "Forgive me my Lady."
Arwen smiled, "No. It's all right. Come. Freda, is it?" the little girl nodded. Arwen smiled again and said, "My name is Arwen." She turned to Freda's mother, "Your daughter is quite adorable. I would enjoy her company.
The mother nodded slightly. Freda broke free of her mother's grasp and ran up to Arwen, sitting in the ground in front of her, "Are you an elf?" she asked again.
Arwen nodded, "Yes. I am."
Freda stared at her in awe, "Then.then you must be. You're the one that man was talking about!" she cried.
Arwen laughed lightly, "I doubt I am the same. Who is this man you speak of?"
Freda's brown eyes shone, "He was a tall man. With dark hair, like yours. That went to here." She said touching her shoulders. She then brought her hands to her face, "And he had a beard. But it wasn't a long or bushy." Tilting her head in thought she said, "It was like he forgot to shave for a few days."
Arwen thought to herself for a moment, recognizing the description, "Did you know his name?"
Freda shook her head, "No. He was talking to a brown haired girl that also looked like an elf about a elven lady from a place called.Riverdale."
Arwen laughed, "I suppose you are right Freda. I am the one that man was speaking of. I am from Rivendell."
Freda blushed at her mistake, "I'm sorry Lady Arwen." She paused before saying, "Who was that man talking about you? I've seen him a lot since me and my brother Eothain came to Edoras."
Arwen smiled, "Can you keep a secret?"
The young child nodded furiously and crawled closer to Arwen, "Yes my lady. I promise not to tell anyone."
. It wasn't really a secret, it was more to entertain Freda, but still Arwen was impressed by her enthusiasm. Leaning to her ear she whispered, "He is my love."
Freda giggled as her cheeks turned red. Grinning from ear to ear she said, "Are you going to marry him?"
Arwen bit her lip, "One day, yes. Aragorn and I want to get married." Arwen had surprised herself. She had been nervous and impatient until this young child came around. She smiled to herself, she was glad she had the company.
"Aragorn!" Legolas yelled to his friend below him. The ranger looked up as the elf threw a rope down to him.
"Gimli come on!" Aragorn said. He grabbed his friend around the waist and held the rope tightly with his other hand as Legolas and Maranwe pulled them to safety. As they neared the top Maranwe reached over the edge and took Aragorn's hand, helping him over the wall. Legolas grabbed Gimli's arm and pulled the dwarf over. A few moments later Theoden rushed by yelling for them to retreat. His face was shocked when he suddenly saw Maranwe and he glared at her.
"Aragorn!" he said, "Fall back!" out of nowhere a huge swarm of Uruk- hai came rushing around the corner.
Aragorn nodded and the four of them ran back to the center of the keep. Theoden yelled back for Legolas to shut the door as soon as he went through. The blonde elf nodded, shooting arrows as he ran up the steps.
They soon entered the room and Aragorn sighed heavily as he and Legolas slammed the doors. Legolas leaned against the wall for a quick breather, glad to be out of harms way.for a little while at least.
"Maranwe?" Aragorn then said, breaking the elf from his thoughts. Legolas scanned the large room. Theoden was towards the back. Gimli and some of Theoden's men were barricading the entrance, and Aragorn stood beside him. Maranwe was not to be seen.
Gimli turned to his two companions sadly, "She's a tough lass.she'll be alright." Legolas nodded, trying to reassure himself and Aragorn.
"If she is killed out there it's her own fault. She should have been in the caves to begin with. Where the women should have been." Theoden spat.
Aragorn grit his teeth but tried to stay focused on barricading the door.
From behind him he heard Theoden say to Gamling, "The fortress is taken. It is over."
Aragorn whipped around. He was fed up with the Rohhirim King at this point, "You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it! They still defend it!! They have died defending it!!" Theoden just stared blankly at the wall. "Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves?" No answer. "Is there no other way?" Aragorn asked furiously. Gamling spoke, "There is one passage. It leads into the mountains. But they will not get far, the Uruk-hai are too many." "Send word for the women and children to make for the mountain pass. And barricade the entrance!!" Aragorn ordered. From the other side of the room Legolas smiled, glad to see how well Aragorn was taking things into his own hands. At last Theoden spoke, "So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?" Aragorn smiled inwardly as he got an idea, "Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them." Theoden looked up at Aragorn, "For death and glory?" "For Rohan, for you people." "Yes." Theoden said, "Yes! The Horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep, one last time." "Yes!" Gimli cried as he ran up the steps to blow the horn. Theodens men suddenly arrived with horses. "Let this be the hour, when we draw swords together!" Aragorn nodded and drew his sword and mounted his horse Brego. With Legolas beside him on Arod. From above they heard Gimli sound the horn. "Forth Eorlingas!" Theoden cried as they charged through the doors. Aragorn rode Brego down the steps trampling Uruk-hai as he went. His eyes scanned the fortress for Maranwe. He quickly spotted her on the steps, sword in hand as she slaughtered another Uruk-hai. Maranwe leaned heavily on the wall behind her, putting as little pressure as possible on her leg. Blood was flowing freely now from around the arrow embedded in the back of her thigh. She looked up as she suddenly heard her name. "Maranwe!" "Estel." she breathed, thankful of is arrival. Aragorn quickly rode up to her with his hand extended. As he got in reach Maranwe gripped his hand and was pulled in to saddle in front of him as he went by. "Are you all right?" he asked quickly, eyeing her leg. Maranwe nodded, "I will be. I'm just a little dizzy." Aragorn wrapped an arm around her waist, "You won't fall off." Maranwe flushed madly and faced forward, thankful that he couldn't see her face. Aragorn kicked Brego in the sides as he picked up speed leaving Helm's Deep. But heading to a victory.
