It had been five days since Elrond left and Elrohir had followed his father. Elledan was heading for Lorien. He wanted to know first hand from his grandmother what was going on.
()()()("Nienna, you have to wake up. Gandalf is going to break Saruman's staff." Aragorn whispered in Nienna's pointed ear.
She blinked and then opened her eyes. She smiled when she looked into Aragorn's face. "Hello." She said.
Aragorn smiled back and answered. 'Hello, welcome back. You had me worried there for a minute. What has happened?"
"I don't know but this is not the time to speak about this, Aragorn." She said while siting up. "I have to hurry if I want to see Saruman. I want to make him pay for what he did to me."
She stopped when she felt the man's hand on her shoulder. "Don't! You will only hurt yourself, niece. I am sure Gandalf will make him pay. Please come with me, there are some friends of me that I would like you to meet."
Nienna nodded and followed Aragorn out of the tent and into the field. She looked to the right when cries of joy where heard. There stood the tower of Saruman. The only place she had ever knew as home. Saruman had fallen on the spikewheel and was dead. She found little joy in this but was glad that he could not hurt her any longer.
"Are you coming, Nienna?" She heard Aragorn call and she ran to meet up with him.
After a few minutes of walking, they came to a small campfire where what it appeared two little children where sitting. "Merry, Pippin, this lady here is Nienna, she is the daughter of Elrohir of Rivendell." Aragorn called to the two.
"Did you take children with you?" She asked him.
"We are not children, My Lady but we are Hobbits. My name is Merry and this here is my cousin Pippin. We traveled together with the Fellowship and two of my friends Frodo and Sam."
"Merry, she is not supposed to know about these things." Aragorn hissed to him.
"To know about what? To know that the One Ring has been found and that a Fellowship of Nine Walker left Rivendell to destroy the one Ring in the fires of Mount Doom? To know that a Halfling named Frodo was its keeper?" Nienna asked, one eyebrow raised. "You forgot who I was a slave for, Aragorn."
"Who then?" Pippin asked, stepping closer to Nienna.
"Saruman." She answered while Pippin's expression changed to that of hatred.
"I don't like him and I am glad that he is death." He answered before giving her a hug. She smiled and hugged him back.
"Nienna!" Gimli called who came together with Legolas and Gandalf. The White wizard smiled and she noticed Legolas's eyes were glassed over. That meant, he was happy.
"Come, Nienna, remember that you asked about the talking trees, let me show you, the Ents." Legolas called to her. He was afraid he would burst with happiness if he did not take her apart soon. She looked at Gandalf for agreement and he nodded before she left with Legolas.
After Legolas had shown Nienna the Ents, he paused for a second. "You had me really worried there, Nienna."
'I am sorry, I did not mean to." She answered before leaning into the sudden desire to kiss Legolas. The Elf was all too happy to answer.
He broke apart when he heard footsteps coming. Turning around, he removed himself from Nienna, so that nobody would notice what was going on between him and her.
Nienna tried to fight the blush that had risen to her cheeks. She look up sharply when she heard Legolas say. "Hello, Aragorn. Did you came looking for us?"
There was no doubt Aragorn had seen more then Legolas thought. Maybe he would not say anything. The silence that fell was deafening.
"Just wondering what kept you." He said, his voice full of mirth.
"Nothing." Nienna said while walking past them.
"Legolas, I know what I saw. You have to stay away from her. I will not have you lusting after my niece. She is not somebody that you can just bed and then leave. I know with your past, this is probably what you see in her." Aragorn said to his friend.
"Don't even go there, Aragorn. I might not know the full extent of my feeling but I do know that whatever it is, it is true. If I wanted to bed her, I could have done so. What makes you so sure I have not do so?" Legolas said his voice dangerously low.
"Peace, mellon, I did not mean for it to go like this. I am sorry." Aragorn said while holding up his hands.
Legolas nodded before he followed his friend.
