OK I know this is a really bad story, but I started writing it a couple of years ago, but just found it. Please can you Read and Reply and give me hints on how to make it better? And maybe some ideas to carry it on, as I seem to have writers block!

Oh yeah, and I don't own Tolkien or most of the characters in this story, or the places… However I do own this plot, and I know that some of it isn't factually correct with Tolkien's story.

Aranelwen ran to the great gates with the others. She could see him in the distance. The whole city knew about him, Rohan's traitor.

'Merry, Merry!' people were calling. As he came nearer Aranelwen could see his face, he looked greatly troubled. None of the crowd noticed this though, nor did they notice the way he looked at the two girls with what was almost pity.

'I wonder what's wrong with him' Allasse whispered to Aranelwen as the gates were being closed.

'I don't know, but he must have some bad news for our fathers' Aranelwen replied, and she turned to follow him, 'lets go and find out.'

So the two girls turned and walked back up into the city.

Allasse laid her head on the throne room door and listened. All she could hear was silence. Then she heard the kings voice, he sounded weary and very worried.

' Ok. They will have to leave the city. I must summon a council as soon as possible. Faramir, how quickly can you get a message to the Greenwood?'

Suddenly they heard footsteps behind them. Jumping back into the shadows, they saw a familiar head appear up the steps, then a few seconds later another one. At the same moment Faramir came out of the throne room and nearly walked straight into the taller of the two people, Legolas. Gasping, he smiled weakly and turned back into the throne room.

'It seems I don't need to send the message after all, your majesty' he said bowing. Through the gap in the door Aranelwen could see her fathers face looking puzzled, then suddenly Merry gasped 'Legolas! Gimli!' A small smile crept over the king's face, as he invited them in, explaining that he had just been about to send a message to them.

The next morning Allasse woke to find her mother bending over her.

'The king has summoned us to go to his council, you must get ready.'

'Us? Why me?' Allasse looked at her mothers face, and saw lines of worry and grief, 'is anything wrong?'

'Just hurry to the council, everything will be explained there, your father left an hour ago, he too will be there, as will Aranelwen and the Queen, and also I think, the hobbits Meriadoc and Samwise'

'Sam?' Allasse gasped, 'is he back in the city?'

'Yes he arrived last night, and Rosie and dear Elanor are with him too. I wish you would make friends with that girl.'

'I tried mother, she hates me, she gets on with Aranelwen ok, but seems to hate me'

'O well never mind, lets just hurry along to the council.'

When they arrived at the council her mother left into a side room, leaving Allasse to enter on her own. Many people were already seated there. As her mother had said Aranelwen was sat there, and Allasse hurried to join her friend. Looking around she saw Sam the hobbit, and sat on either side of him were his wife and daughter. Next to Rosie, was another hobbit, Peregrin knight of Gondor, and next to him was Meriadoc, the traitor of Rohan. Years ago he had been sworn to the service of king Theoden, and now, during the rule of Hamadred, the only heir of the late Eomer, he was now a traitor, selling Hamadred's secrets to Aragorn, the king of Gondor.

Now Aragorn entered and on his arm was his beautiful wife Arwen Undomiel. Lately Aranelwen was looking every bit as beautiful as her mother, only her eyes were younger without the cares and troubles of the Elven Queen.

Behind the King came the Steward, Faramir, Allasse's own father. On his arm was her mother, Eowyn of Rohan, looking fair and cold.

'I have called you all before me today to discuss the news which has greatly troubled me.' As Aragorn spoke silence fell as every face in the room turned to his. 'You all know that Hamadred, lord of the Mark, and myself, have disagreed over the running of the west of middle earth. Hamadred believes that the master race are Men, mortals, and that the other races should be eliminated.' At this there was a great gasp around the room, Samwise looked shocked, Legolas looked angry, and tears welled up in Elanor's eyes. Looking up at her mother, Aranelwen saw tears in her eyes too, and realised what this doom meant.

'I of course disagreed with him,' Aragorn continued, 'and he resented that. Yesterday, our spy, Meriadoc Brandybuck, knight of Rohan and of Gondor brought grave news to me.' He turned to Merry and nodded at him.

Merry stood up and began. 'I came to warn your king of Hamadred's plans. I was a knight of Rohan, but I am doing what us unforgivable, and I know my danger and risk it. I know how Hamadred is going to make you listen. He is planning the kidnap of the princess and stewards daughter. He is going to capture Aranelwen and Allasse.'
