Aranel was not tree months old and Joyce was on her old level again with training. She was training harder then ever since she felt that something was coming.
Legolas had asked her a couple of days before to leave for Minas Tirith since everybody would gather there instead of coming to the colony, she had agreed to it and they were not on their way. Today they would arrive in the White City.
They could not ride that fast with a little baby but it was still enough. Legolas noticed Joyce was tense. After he touched her on the shoulder, he had to duck to prevent an energyball from hitting him.
"I am so sorry, Meleth. I tought you were somebody else." Joyce said while making sure he was alright.
Legolas nodded and smiled at her. Yet it was a fake one, he had never seen her so tense before.

Dismounting their horse, they were greeted by all their friends. Aragorn was standing in the same place where he was crowned and smiled at them. Arwen was standing next to him. She was heavily pregnant.
Joyce smiled and raised her hand as a greeting when she felt the presence she had been feeling coming closer. Turning around, she had just enough time to duck before the energy ball hit.
Standing up, she noticed it had been aimed at her. People were screaming and shouting out of fright.
Running inside, she made it just in time before the next ball hit the door. The rest looked at her worried.
Legolas held a crying Aranel in his arms and was trying to sooth her. The Hobbits looked frightened and Gandalf looked at her asif he wanted to ask her something. Arwen was sitting on the staircase and trying to catch her breath. Aragorn was standing next to her. Gimli held his axe up and was the first to say something.
"What the hell just happened out there?" He asked.
"To say it bluntly somebody tried to shoot us or me. I am not sure which one it is yet." Joyce answered him while taking off her cloak.
"What are you going to do?" Gandalf´s voice boomed behind her when she strapped on her sword.
Looking up, Joyce answered. "I have no idea who just tried to kill us or me. But he is waiting outside right now. He is stronger then any of us, he may even be stronger then me. But since I am the protector of the planet and he will tried to destroy the planet, I have to fight him."
Legolas shifted Aranel´s weight in his arms before he said. "No, your not. It is too dangerous. What if you will get hurt?"
"Then I will. You know better, Legolas. This guy will kill each and every one of you unlesh I stop him now. I don't know what he wants but I better find out, right?"
Legolas wanted to stop her, but Gandalf´s hand on his shoulder stopped him. The wizard said. "She is right. Don´t worry, she will be fine."
A blast hit the door, Joyce barely had enough time to get everybody to safety.
The guys came walking in, a sword was slung over his shoulder and he had scares all over his face.
Joyce stepped in the middle and said. "What do you want?"
The man grinned and his eyes scanned the room before he answered. "My name is Rudy and I am bounty hunter. I came to kill the king of Gondor but my first beam kinda missed."
Joyce took a fighting pose and answered. "Then you will have to get trough me first."
The man shook his head and he said. "Don´t make me do this, girl. You are not the one I want."
Joyce grinned and said. "I am not ordinary girl."
The man nodded and then he launched at her. Joyce had been expecting this and she blocked his attack.
They continued to trow punches and kicks at each other. Legolas´s eyes moved across the room in order to follow them. Aragorn hid behind a pillar and Gandalf had his staff ready in case.
Joyce saw an opening and with one good aimed beam, she shot him trough the open door and into the garden. Rudy got up and flew away, Joyce took after him immediately.

Joyce had followed him to a deserted place. The fight contained there.
Rudy proved to be stronger then he looked and soon he had overpowered Joyce. The fight had been going on for a couple of hours now and Joyce was getting tired fast.
Soon she was sitting on one knee to catch her breath. Rudy grinned and shot a beam at her.
Joyce was too slow to move away and the beam shot trough her shoulder.
Sinking down on her knees again, she saw Rudy ly away and knew she had to go after him.

Back in Minas Tirith they rest was waiting for news. They looked up when they heard somebody landed.
"There is Joyce." Pippin said while running outside.
He was trown back inside by Rudy. Aragorn stood up and held his ground, while he said. "What did you do to her?"
Legolas gave Aranel to Arwen who rushed out of the room and took his bow.
Rudy smirked and said. "I don´t know. Last I knew I left her for dead. But enough stopping. You will die, King of Gondor."
With that he began to scream and glowing.
He would blow himself up in order to kill everybody. Aragorn could not move from the shock, Gandalf pulled Legolas, who was beyong grief and with the Hobbits and Gimli, he made a energy shield with his staff. It would not do much good but it would not kill them. He did not have enough time to get to Aragorn.
A couple of seconds before Rudy exploded, Joyce teleported herself in front of Aragorn and took the biggest blow.
Everybody flew back from the impact and Aragorn was trown against a pillar.
While the rest was still recovering, Gandalf was the first to be up on his feet again. He had seen what Joyce had done and feared the worst.
Kneeling down next to her body, he saw the bruises and the gaspes everywhere. There was a huge hole in her shoulder and while Gandalf turned her around and crawled her head in his lap. Her eyes were closed and she was pale due to blood loss. She had spent all her energy and Gandalf was not sure if she would survive.
Aragorn, Gimli and the Hobbits were unconscious and Legolas was next to be on his feet. He wiped the blood from his nose and saw Gandalf sitting.
Rushing over to Gandalf who had his back turned to him. The next image made his heart stop beating.
Gandalf heard the sharp intake of breath too late and he turned his head. Legolas was standing behind him and there was no doubt that he had not seen it already. He was paling fast and shaking.
Grabbing his arm, Gandalf pulled the broken Elf next him. "Listen, my boy, she is grievely wounded. She jumped infront of Aragorn and has taken the most damage. She needs our help badly. She is in a lot of pain and her spirit is in a different place now. She is trapped in a dark world with a lot of pain. See if you can pull her out. Here hold this against your nose."
Taking the cloth Gandalf gave him, Legolas nodded. There was no room for emotions now. Joyce needed his help. Her face was twisted in pain and she was so pale that Legolas feared her soul had already left these shores.
Legolas´s hand touched her neck, which had started to swell and was bleeding. "Hold her. I will work on the bleeding. He had grabbed her good there." Gandalf said while pressing his granddaughter in Legolas´s arms.
Legolas pulled her closer to him and try to wipe most of the blood away. He did not notice that tears were falling down his cheeks. How could he ever forget that image. She was still warm to the touch, but Legolas wanted her to open her eyes.
He was very surpised when she did. Her blue eyes were dull and clouded in pain, there was hardly a spark of them left.
Softly reassuring her, he said. "You will be fine, Meleth. Just get some sleep."
Joyce smiled weakly and said in a rasp voice. "You always were a bad liar, Legolas. I am not alright." She had too stop there when couch were wracking her body.
When they finaly subsided, Joyce tried to speak again, but Legolas said. "Don´t speak. Save your strenght."
Joyce shook her head and continued. "I wanted to tell you that I love you and if I don´t make it out of this, take good care of Aranel and tell her that I love her very much. Don´t forget that I love you with all my heart and I will be waiting for you on the shores of Valinor, Meleth."
Her eyes fell closed again and Legolas wiped the tears from his eyes, he then looked at Gandalf and asked. "Will she make it?"
Gandalf met his gaze and said. "I am not sure Legolas. That will depend on a lot of things, but right now I don´t dare to say anything."
Gandalf had finished working on her neck and lifted her in his arms.

It had been a couple of hours and everybody has been checked by Aragorn. Everybody had gone to bed, exept Legolas who was sitting outside her room.
Soft footsteps stopped next to him and he looked up to find Arwen standing here with Aranel in her arms. She passed the baby in his arms and Legolas looked down at his daughter. She made sounds to him and lifted up her arms.
Legolas smiled weakly. He found no joy when he did not know if his wife would make it.
He felt Arwen´s hand on his shoulder before she walked away again, to leave him alone with his grief.
He lifted Aranel to his shoulder and could not help the tears that fell again. Legolas felt the child pressing her face against his as if she wanted to catch the tears. He smiled while he looked into her eyes, eyes that reminded his of Joyce.
Pressing a soft kiss on her forehead, he then walked to his room. Gandalf was keeping watch by Joyce.

He put Aranel in her crib and watched the baby fall asleep. He did not even bother to take his clothes off and just colapsed on the bed. He was asleep in a instance.
His dream took him to a strange world. Forest were green and there was peace here. He saw his mother walking by, but she did not see him when he greeted here. This was Valinor.
He could not believe his ear when a voice said. "She cannot see you. The cannot see me too."
Turning around he saw Joyce standing there. Rushing over, he wanted to pull her into a hug, but Joyce shook her head and said. "Your time here is limited. I know you want me to return with you, but I cannot go yet. They are still fighting over my faith." And she pointed to the tower of the Valar.
"I want you back. I will not live without you, Joyce. Can´t they see?" Legolas asked trough his tears.
Joyce smiled sadly and said. "They showed me what the future would be if I passed away. I will find you again, Legolas. Don´t worry. For nor Namarien, Meleth." And she pressed a kiss on his lips.
A world away Legolas woke up again.
Hope you liked it. Please review to find out if Joyce will make it.
