Chapter 7: Strong Feelings

As they entered the hall they saw the king stand to address them.
"We will make for the refuge of Helm's Deep. The people are to take only what they need. We must travel quickly."
"Yes, sir. We leave at once them?" Eowyn questioned.
"Yes. Gather the people."

Every man, woman, and child were taken out of the city as quickly as possible.

As they walked towards the stone fortress they were attacked by the wargs, the dogs of Isenguard. Reina and Eowyn were told to lead the woman and children the rest of the way, while the men stayed to fight.

After getting to Helm's Deep Eowyn and Reina waited as patiently as they could.
"I pray Aragorn makes it back alive." Eowyn said concerned.
"I'm sure he will. He is a great warrior." Reina comforted.
"I care deeply for him, but I know his heart belongs to another though."
"Yes, it does indeed. He will be a king though. You would not want to be in that position. You belong here with your people. They need you."
"I know but I can not help but think about him often."
"I know how you feel. One also haunts my thoughts."
"I am sorry. I can see that it pains you to talk of this."
"No. It has just been long since I have seen or heard from him and I am concerned just as you are."
"I am sorry."

Later that day the men arrived. There were few of them left as they then prepared for the battle that was coming. Reina and some others went to take a short rest and regain some much needed rest.
