A/n: Hey! I updated, amazing, no? Hehe, thanks to those of you who
reviewed. You guys make this story worth writing! I love hearing from you,
thanks! *hugz*
I would like to announce that I will be changing the title of this story. It doesn't really work because the Mary Sue who doesn't want to be a Mary Sue isn't true anymore because she never actually became a Mary Sue. A reviewer had a great idea and so the story will now be called, "Don't Call Me Mary Sue!" Big thank you to Undead Goat for the idea. That is if everyone likes it. If you guys think that the original title was fine, let me know. Thanks!

Aurora and Scott stood together on the battlements of Helm's Deep. After the Elves had spoken with Théoden, the many people, which was still relatively small compared to the Uruk army, had taken their battle positions. Archers from both Elves and men (Aurora, Scott, and Dan included) stood on the top of the front wall. Men who carried swords and stones stood behind them and in the causeway of the refuge.
The night air was completely silent except for the sounds of a huge army advancing toward them in the night. Their thousands of torches bobbed up and down in the air and roars and grunts surrounded the marching battalion.
Aurora stood next to Scott with Legolas on her other side. Gimli, who stood behind a pillar, was next to Legolas. Dan, for some reason, was several people away and was gazing unblinkingly into the night.
"Argh!" Gimli muttered. "You could have picked a better spot." He strained to look over the wall but it was impossible for his height. Aurora smiled but that was about all she could muster.
She had managed to keep her fears in check earlier but now, with the Uruk- hai clearly in sight, she found it much harder to do. Every part of her body was quivering in fear. She was trying very hard not to think of the fact that she might just die tonight. But with ten-thousand monsters stomping toward her, that was rather hard to do.
Aragorn came up behind them. He didn't look scared or nervous but calm and orderly. She couldn't see how anybody could be calm and orderly at this moment but somehow Aragorn managed to pull it off.
"Well lad, whatever luck you've lived by, let's hope it lasts the night." Gimli said in a falsely hopeful voice.
As he said this, thunder boomed above them and lighting silhouetted the sea of Uruk-hai in the near distance.
"Your friends are with you Aragorn," Legolas said, not turning to look at him but keeping his gaze on the army.
"Lets hope they last the night," Gimli muttered.
Aurora couldn't agree with him more.
The marching and pounding of the Orcs grew steadily louder and louder. Lightning flashed across the sky once more and it began to rain. The Uruk- hai were now, much to Aurora's fear, right in front of the Deeping Wall, roaring and thumping their spears furiously. One of the leaders stood on a rock outcrop and roared menacingly.
"Aurora." Scott said suddenly.
Aurora was afraid to open her mouth, scared that she would lose the meager rations she had eaten that day. After managing to calm her nerves she turned to look at him. Rain fell off his face and his hair was already soaked.
"Aurora, I need-I need to tell you something."
Aurora's heart began to pound even harder and she didn't think it had anything to do with the increasingly loud noises issuing from the army massed below them.
"Aurora. I don't know how and I don't know when. . ." Scott began. He paused to take a deep breath and then he continued on, this time speaking much more clearly and loudly. ". . .but you caught me. I never thought I would ever care about you more than a friend, if even that, but somewhere along the way I fell. . .in love with you." (A/n: Blah! So maybe it's corny. But I don't get that in my life, I can make it happen in hers, lol!)
Aurora grasped the wall in front of her to steady herself. Was this really happening? Was she really standing on a battle front in the night with rain pouring down on her head, holding bow and arrows, an army of monsters marching toward her, and Scott telling her that he was in love with her? She couldn't decide whether it was a nightmare or a dream.
"I don't know if you feel the same way but I had to tell you because I think we both know there is a good chance that we might not make it through the night."
Aurora stared at him, unsure of what to say. Where could she begin?
Scott seemed to take her stunned silence as a bad thing. For he turned red, Aurora could see it even in the rain and darkness of the night, and began blabbering on. "I of course understand if you don't feel the same way. I mean, I'll get over it. Or, okay, honestly I don't know if I could get over it but what I am trying to say-"
He paused and stared at Aurora. She turned his cheek so that he was looking in her eyes and leaned up a little. Her heart thumped so loud she could hear it in her head but she didn't stop. She closed her eyes and moved closer to him until their lips met. His lips were so soft and his tongue sent shivers racking up and down her body. It was slow and soft at first but it soon grew in intensity and passion. Aurora had never kissed a guy before and after kissing Scott she never wanted to kiss anyone else. He turned to her and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer and never taking his lips away from hers. Her breath was getting sucked out of her body because she wouldn't let him pull away and he didn't want to either. The rain fell down their faces and onto their lips and eyelashes. The sounds of the Uruk's faded away and all she could feel, see, touch, and hear was Scott.
A tap on her shoulder, several times, made her reluctantly pull away. She turned to see Legolas and Gimli both grinning like little boys.
"Forgive me for. . .er. . .interrupting. But we will be fighting a battle soon and I think it would be wise to pay attention," Legolas said a little sarcastically, if that was possible for an Elf.
Aurora blushed and turned back to Scott who smiled at her sheepishly. "I love you too," was all she could say.
He nodded, his eyebrows raised. "Yah, somehow I figured that out."
"Don't die tonight Scott."
Scott sobered up immediately. He grabbed her hand. "I won't if you won't." It was at this point that Aurora realized how much Scott had changed on this unbelievable adventure. He had once been completely irresponsible, didn't care for anything or anyone. Now here he was, pronouncing his love for his one time worst enemy.
Aurora nodded "I promise."
"I promise too."
Aurora snuck a quick glance down to her brother. He was gazing at them with an unreadable expression on his face. He inclined his head slightly and then looked down at the Uruk-hai.
Reluctantly Aurora did too. It was odd to be feeling love for one thing and then to look and see utter and total destruction below her.
"What's happening out there," Gimli asked, jumping up and down.
"Shall I describe it to you or shall I find you a box?" Legolas replied, grinning.
Gimli looked confused for a moment before he chuckled good-naturedly. Aurora couldn't help but feel that her and Scott was not the only relationship that had changed. She couldn't think about how drastically that relationship had just changed a minute ago. She couldn't ponder it now but she would if she managed to keep herself alive through the night.
Suddenly an arrow from the battlement was let loose and Aurora gasped in surprise, clenching Scott's hand tightly. Feelings for him raged inside of her still but she managed to put it into the back of her head for the time being.
Total silence filled the night as an Uruk dropped dead, face first. Aragorn cried out in Elvish and no one shot another arrow. It took but a second for the remaining Uruk's to bare their teeth and roar in anger. With a bellow the Uruk on the rock pointed his weapon into the air and the Uruk's began their charge.
"Tangado halad!" Aragorn called.
Aurora gritted her teeth. "What the hell does that mean?" she asked Legolas.
"Prepare to fire." He replied.
Aurora nodded, she squeezed Scott's hand one last time, then notched her bow. She squinted one eye and took careful aim at one of the Uruk's. They were running forward in a straight line so it was easier than if he had been darting around. Maybe Uruk's weren't as intelligent as she thought.
"Faeg i-varv dîn na lanc a nu ranc." Legolas said loudly.
"God damnit Legolas." Aurora shrieked, glaring at him, her fear returning in full measure. "Not everyone present knows Elvish so could you please take us into consideration and speak in a language we all know?"
She thought she heard a faint snicker from Scott but she didn't want to take her eyes off her target to see.
"Their armor is weak at the neck and underneath the arms," Legolas said calmly.
"Leithio i philinn!" Aragorn cried.
"Release the arrows," Legolas quickly translated, letting loose his. Scott, Aurora, and Dan were a few seconds behind but they all struck their targets nevertheless.
"Did they hit anything?" Gimli asked eagerly, unable to see over the wall.
Aurora affirmed that they had while loading up another arrow.
Gamling called "Fire!" to his men (Aurora now wished she had gone over there so she could actually understand the orders being given) and more arrows reined down upon the Uruk's.
Aragorn called the order again and Aurora released another arrow. But the Uruk-hai were too many. Those that fell were immediately replaced by more.
"Pendraid!" Aragorn called.
"Ladders," Legolas muttered.
Aurora didn't need Legolas to translate this time. She could see the Uruk- hai throwing hooks onto the wall and raising ladders full of Orcs and Uruks.
Some of the Elves around her slung their bows across their backs and drew their swords. Numbly, Aurora did the same. Legolas, among others, still held onto their bows because that is where their skills lay.
"The real battle begins," Scott muttered next to her as the Uruk-hai ascended the ladders, ready to clash with those standing upon the battlement.
