Aurora and Scott peered down the valley below them. It was filled with hundreds upon hundreds of men. Little campfires flickered like tiny stars in the distance, barely visible to the group that stood above watching the hustle and bustle below them with slight trepidation.

"Grimbold, how many?" Théoden asked.

Leaders of several groups of men had been arriving the past two days. They brought legions of men, all willing to fight before the walls of Minas Tirith. Aurora and Scott had watched them come, amazed at how many had dared to go to war. These people were either completely brave or completely witless, or maybe a little of both.

"I bring five hundred Men from the Westfold, My Lord," Grimbold answered, watching Théoden closely.

Other men walked over to Théoden, telling how many men they had brought with them. Aurora blocked this out as she gazed over the rim of the cliff they stood on. Scott's hand found hers and he followed her gaze, nodding his head grimly. "That's a lot of men."

The leaders who had been relating their numbers left them, probably off to make camp. Théoden sighed as he watched them leave and turned his eyes to the men below him. "Six thousand spears, less than half of what I'd hoped for," he said grimly.

"Six thousand?" Aurora choked, surprised that there could be such a large number and still be spoken of with grim defeat. "That's plenty isn't it?"

Aragorn shook his head. "No Aurora. Helm's Deep was a small skirmish compared to what we will see in Gondor. Six thousand will not be enough to break the lines of Mordor."

Aurora paled. How big was this army marching from Mordor anyway? It had to be enormous if six thousand people, plus a few from Gondor, weren't enough.

"More will come," Théoden said hopefully. To Aurora it sounded like a last hope that was barely within the grasp of his fingers.

Aragorn, however, frowned. "Every hour lost hastens Gondor's defeat. We have till dawn, then we must ride."

"Dawn?" Aurora asked nervously.

"Dawn," Aragorn repeated before turned around and leaving.

Aurora and Scott reluctantly followed, shaking their heads in astonishment. Six thousand men! And still not enough.

After wandering aimlessly around, they came upon Legolas and Gimli who were walking between a row of nervous horses.

"What's wrong with them?" Aurora asked, stepping in front of the elf and the dwarf.

"The horses are restless and the Men are quiet," Legolas answered mysteriously.

"Do you always speak in these irritating riddles?" Aurora muttered in annoyance.

"They grow nervous in the shadow of the mountain," Éomer agreed.

"Oh sure," Aurora answered dryly. "Blame it on the mountain. It's probably just Gimli and his bloody axe."

Gimli glared at her but chose not to respond to her light hearted jest. "That road there, where does that lead?" he asked instead, pointing to a dark road that led between a jut in the mountainside.

Aurora shivered involuntarily, feeling something. . .something horrible blow by her face. Her arms were lined with goosebumps and she shivered, turning her gaze elsewhere.

"It is the road to the Dimholt, the door under the mountain," Éomer said wisely. "None who venture there ever return."

"Well that's a lovely bedtime tale," Scott muttered. "Thanks, I will sleep peacefully knowing that dead corpses are rotting away on that little road there."

--

The rest of their day was spent walking around camp, giving a helping hand whenever they could. They had dinner and then made one last trip around, heeding Aragorn's orders to make sure all was well. They passed by Éowyn and heard a snippet of her conversation with her brother as they made their way to their small tent.


"You should not encourage him," Éomer was saying to his sister, chewing thoughtfully on a piece of meat.

"You should not doubt him," Éowyn replied indignantly.

Aurora smiled as they passed, suddenly remembering her own brother.

"I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm," Éomer replied lightly.

Aurora and Scott slowed their pace, interested to see where this conversation was going. "Why should Merry be left behind? He has as much cause to go to war as you. Why can he not fight for those he loves?"

Aurora and Scott shrugged and entered their small tent, deciding that whatever went on with the siblings was their quarrel. The flap of their tent fell silently shut behind them as they shuffled about the room, trying not to trip over the bed that took up the entire space of the tent. When they had arrived a few days ago, they were offered this small tent that wasn't being used by anyone else. Most soldiers preferred to stay in the larger tents alongside their friends. Aurora and Scott didn't mind sharing one alone, no matter how tiny it was.

"Well, I guess we'll have to share a bed," Scott joked.

Aurora rolled her eyes. "Yes. We've never done that before."

She stepped uncertainly onto the bed and pulled her sword off her head, too lazy to unbuckle it. In doing so, she accidentally lifted up her shirt, revealing a large portion of her torso and upper body. She could feel Scott's gaze on her and she pulled her shirt down uncomfortably, turning to him with a feint smile lining her lips.

"What are you looking at?" she asked lightly.

"You," he replied mockingly.

Scott walked over to her, barely keeping himself from tripping, and brushed his lips across Aurora's lightly but she could feel the desire in them. She could feel it too, had felt it for a long time but was too afraid to acknowledge the intense feelings. Too afraid to move forward, knowing that acting upon them was such a huge leap in a relationship and one she had never taken.

"Scott," she whispered, pulling him closer to her. She could tell the amount of his arousal by the lump pressing against her stomach. She blushed, having never experienced that feeling, but found that it only increased the warmness she felt slowly spreading from her loins.

Scott suddenly pulled away, groaning slightly. "Don't do this to me Aurora."

Aurora smiled playfully, ignoring the pounding in her heart. Was she ready for this? Looking into Scott's brown eyes told her that she was. She loved him. She would always love him. There would be no regrets with Scott. She slowly moved forward and wrapped her arms around his back, going in for a hug. Her tongue slowly licked his ear, "Don't do what?"

Scott groaned and pulled away. "This, don't do this."

"This?" she asked softly. She pressed her lips against his and slowly let her hand travel down his chest until it reached his ever increasing erection. She stroked it softly and felt him squirm beneath her touch, taking in ragged gasps.

Scott suddenly realized her intentions and jerked away from her, looking into her eyes with shock. "Are you sure?" he asked.

Aurora sighed. "You're ruining the moment here. Yes I'm sure. Do you think I'd be doing this if I wasn't?"

"I don't want you to regret anything," he said nervously. She could tell he was hoping she wouldn't back away.

"I love you Scott. There is no one I would rather lose my virginity to."

"This is your first time?" he asked, stunned. Judging by the sudden jerk of his arousal, she could tell that he was very turned on by it.

"Mm hmm," she whispered moving in closer. "You don't have to if you don't want to."

Scott nearly laughed as he pulled her toward him. "Do you think I'm crazy?"

He kissed her fiercely, pressing her body against his. His lips slowly traveled down to her neck while his hands moved down the length of her body, touching places he had never visited before. Aurora moaned from the intense feelings that emanated from his touching, suddenly feeling like the girls she saw in movies.

She lifted his shirt off, he breaking away for a moment while she pulled it over his head. His lips were back on hers the second it was gone, his hands sliding up her shirt in a tantalizing slowness. Her hands roamed across his chest, flowing over the rippling muscles he had acquired in Middle Earth. Scott's hands reached her chest and he cupped her breast in his hand, rolling the nipple between his thumbs. Aurora gasped as she felt them harden beneath his touch. Encouraged by her movement, Scott lifted off her shirt, revealing the dirty lace bra she had worn since the beginning of the adventure. He slid it off, with talent Aurora noted dryly, and Aurora suddenly felt very self conscious but any misgivings she had were gone as his lips lowered and took one of her breasts into his mouth. He bit on the end, softly, enticingly. Aurora squirmed from him, trying hard to believe this was actually happening.

Scott then slowly lowered her onto the thin bed, carefully easing himself on top of her. He was shaking from nerves, not wanting to hurt her. She was the first girl he ever loved and the last thing he wanted to do was cause her pain. Aurora saw the worry in his eyes and she smiled as she unlaced his breeches, brushing lightly against his hard shaft. (A/n. . .shut up! Don't laugh! I know you're all laughing at me!)

"I'm ready for this Scott."

That was all the coaxing he needed. He slowly slid his breeches off, finally releasing himself of the restrictions that had been keeping him in check. He nearly laughed at Aurora's wide eyes but he was too eager to pause. He quickly untied her pants and slid them off. She shivered from the lack of clothes but pulled him down closer, using his body to warm herself.

His lips found hers again and he kissed her with such intensity it left Aurora gasping for air. Her hand found his erection and she gripped it slowly, not sure if she should do this or not. Judging from the sudden intake of breath from Scott, she felt pretty confident that he liked it. She slid her hand up it, rubbing slightly at the tip, exploring something she had never felt. Her hand became covered in a light, sticky substance and for some reason it only turned her on more. Scott could barely kiss her he was gasping so hard, struggling to keep himself controlled.

"Are you ready?" Scott panted. Aurora could feel him shaking from the strain.

Aurora didn't answer, instead she pulled him down onto her. He entered her slowly but she still gasped in pain as he forced his way in. He slowed down even further and was surprised when he felt Aurora's hands moving up his back, pulling him closer, moving him in.

Scott began to gasp, trying not lose control as he was thrown into unimaginable pleasure. Aurora's eyes were clenched tightly shut, biting her lip to stop from crying out. She knew that it would hurt her first time, had always known it, but no one could prepare for the shock of it. Finally he was all the way in, not moving for a sudden fear of causing her pain.

Aurora took a deep breath and began rocking beneath him. Scott didn't need any more hints that she was ready. He slowly began to move, increasing in speed as he became accustomed to her body.

Scott couldn't believe that he was doing this. This was the girl he had known all his life, his best friends little sister. If someone had told him that he would be making love to her a few months ago he would have laughed in their faces. And yet it felt so right. She had become a different person and so had he. Not only emotionally, but physically as well. Her body was thin and toned, so different from what she had been. His in turn rippled with muscles, definitely not what he had had before.

Aurora was taken by an immense wave of pain. She shuddered beneath him, tensing her body against the intrusion. But as Scott quickened his pace, the pain slowly began to recede. It was replaced with an immense feeling of elation that spread from the pit of her belly outward. Her back arched in pleasure as Scott groaned above her. His lips found her neck and he kissed her as Aurora gripped his back, biting her tongue to keep from screaming out in pleasure.

Time became suspended. Aurora didn't know how long they moved together in the throes of ecstasy. She didn't know how long he moved above her or how long they moaned in complete euphoria. All she knew was the amazing feelings that flowed between their bodies, the thumping of her heart a she realized just how much she loved the man above her.

Aurora felt like she was going to explode and Scott seemed to sense this. He quickened his pace and Aurora felt the most extreme passion she had ever felt in her life flow between their bodies. She was unable to stifle a scream as their bodies arched together in an unimaginable climax. Scott groaned above her, she could almost hear the pounding of his heart as he removed himself from her and slumped over on his back, laying next to her. He grabbed onto her hand as they struggled to find their breath.

"Oh my God," Aurora gasped after a moment.

"I've never experienced anything like that," Scott breathed, squeezing her hand.

Aurora would have laughed but she didn't have the energy left. "Is that your way of saying I'm pretty good?"

Scott grinned, his chest still heaving from exertion. "That's my way of saying I will never sleep with anyone else again because nothing would compare."

Aurora found a last surge of energy and rolled over, cuddling next to him. Their bodies were warm and sweat trickled from their skin. She pulled the blankets over them and rested her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around his torso. He pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. "I love you Aurora."

"I love you too."

With that, they drifted off into a deep slumber, finding comfort in one another's presence. Their relationship had changed, there was no doubt about it. But it had changed in the best imaginable way.

A/n: Omg. That was the first time I have ever written something so detailed. I could have gone even further but sadly that would have been beyond NC-17 and is not allowed on fanfiction. I feel this is still an 'R' rating, but just barely. *grins* I can't tell you how scared I am to hear your comments. Did it totally suck? Is it the worst you've ever read? *blushes* let me know what you think! Thanks!
