When she arrived near Helms deep, she saw that the battle had already begun. Before she entered the battle she pulled the horses reigns to stop. She got off and put on the helmet that came with the armor she was wearing. She then grabbed Haldir's sword, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. "Well here we go." She jumped back onto the horse, kicked it's sides and they were off.

As she got into the battle the Uruk Hai were already trying to bring her down. She pulled out Haldir's sword and started fighting back....

Aragorn was struggling to defend the door. More and more Uruk Hai just kept coming. Haldir saw that Aragorn need help, so he quickly ran to go help him. One of the Uruk Hai was running towards Haldir with a sword. Haldir quickly shot him in the neck with his last arrow. "Haldir where's your sword?!?" yelled Aragorn.

"I forgot it! but never mind!" Haldir yelled back. Haldir grabbed the sword that the Uruk Hai had used and continued defending. Aragorn then caught a glance of a rider he had never seen before. This rider was very skinny and was in what looked like elven armor. He saw that she was killing the Uruk Hai, so he wanted him to come defend the door.

" Haldir! See that rider over there! The one on the horse!" Aragorn yelled. Haldir looked and saw the rider. "Go get him to come defend the door!" Haldir went off. As he ran he defended himself too.

Zoe kept fighting. She was getting weak and tired but she still fought. She tried looking for Haldir. As she turned, she got cut on her shoulder and she screamed because it hurt. But she didnt let that stop her. She quickly stabbed the sword into the orc. After that she dropped the sword because of the pain from the cut. She still looked for Haldir. She then saw him running towards her direction. She started to run towards him because she saw the same orc that killed Haldir in the fountain! Haldir was still looking for the rider. He stopped to kill some of the Uruk Kai that were in his way.

"Haldir!" Zoe yelled "Haldir Watch Out!!"

Haldir heard it and turned around. He saw the huge orc about to kill him. "Haldir NO!!!" yelled Zoe. She quickly ran and pushed him out of the way........... Haldir fell down ............the orc sliced down his sword.........Zoe screamed in pain......... She got sliced on the side of her ribs.....and she fell down to the ground. Haldir grabbed the sword again and stabbed it into the orc and watched it die. He got up and picked up the rider.

"Hold on!" he yelled at her. He took the rider to the door where Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas were defending. " We must put him inside with the women and children!" Haldir told Aragorn. "He saved my life but he's wounded and we must help him!"

Aragorn agreed. So he told them the guards inside to open the doors. They quickly opened the doors and shut them after Haldir came in. Haldir hurried and took the rider to where the women and children were. When he got there he ran and placed the rider on the ground. "Please help him. He's wounded!" Haldir told the women. The women agreed to help the rider. "I may not know who you are but thank you." he told the rider. Haldir saw the rider's smile. He turned and went back out to battle.

"Now lets get this helmet off so you can breath. Your a really brave man." One of the women said while taking off the helmet. GASP! The woman dropped the helmet. "Zoe?!?" she yelled in shock. Zoe looked up and smiled.

"Hi aunt Gammy." Zoe said softly. Gammy looked at her

"Where on earth were you!?!" Gammy asked begining to cry. "your uncle and I have been worried that you were dead!" She rested her head on Zoe's stomache. She looked and saw how bad the wound was. "Oh Zoe why did you do this?" she asked

"I love him" Zoe told Gammy. She explained everything to her. She told her about how she was tooken to Lothlorien. And how much fun she had with Haldir. Gammy then told Zoe to rest. Zoe tried sleeping but the wound kept hurting. All she thought about was Haldir...

The battle at Helm's Deep had ended. Not many men had survived. The sun started to come up. Aragorn, Gandalf, and Haldir were about to go check on the women and children. Haldir missed Zoe so much and kept wondering if she was okay. He walked into the caves and looked around for the rider to see if he was doing okay. Haldir noticed the same woman he had talked to when he brought in the rider. "My lady where is he?" he asked her.

" You mean 'she' " she corrected. Haldir looked at her funny but hen he stopped and really thougth about it.

"Where is she?" he asked in a hurry. Gammy took him to where Zoe was. He saw the rider laying on the ground. Her head was turned the other way so Haldir couldn't see her face. He slowly walked over and kneeled down. Gently with his hand he turned her head. Her eyes barely opened.

"Haldir?" she softly asked. She was breathing hard. Haldir's eyes widen in surprise.

"Zoe!" he yelled worried and excited. She smiled at him but then her smile faded.

" I'm so glad your alright." he told her. Zoe closed her eyes.

"No I'm not....It hurts Haldir... It hurts.."she told him. Tears were falling down her cheeks. Her breathing became more harder. Haldir looked at her.

"No Zoe! Hold on dont give in please!"he told her "Please Zoe I love you. I don't want to lose you!" Zoe couldn't hang on anymore.............
