Disclaimer: the ONLY thing I own is Jacqueline, anything you don't
recognize from the books and some of the plot but not all. Majority of the
plotline belongs to Tolkien and Jackson, most of the LOTR character lines
are credited to Peter Jackson and his assistant scriptwriter(most of the
character's lines are from the movie), and all LOTR characters belong to
Tolkien.
A/N: I know I said I was waiting for 20 reviews, but the reviews have been the best so I'm putting up the next chapter. Seems a lot of you really want Jacqueline to head Boromir's way.....well keep in mind where we are in the story........
Chapter 11 - Battling New Enemies
"Boromir!" Jacqueline called out. She ran like the wind, lost in a moment when she didn't know the why of what she was doing, just that it had to be done. She heard rustling ahead and pused faster, stumbling upon Boromir. He turned to look at her, clearly upset. She paused by a tree for a moment, then walked up to him slowly.
"It possessed me," he shakily said quietly. "I could not fight the temptation. I will fail everyone."
"No, Boromir you will not fail," she replied reassuringly. "You are destined for great things, and you will see them I promise."
A faint thundering noise caught Jacqueline's ear; her mother's elvish traits were becoming more permanent now. They surfaced momentarily ever since they climbed down to Moria, but ever since discovering her true heritage she knew what caused them and because she accepted them they were becoming a part of her. She surveyed the area before looking back at Boromir.
"Go find the other hobbits. Danger approaches." she warned.
"What about Frodo?" he enquired.
"Aragorn is with him," she comforted. "Please, Boromir, find the other hobbits. They will not be able to defend themselves against what comes this way."
Boromir nodded and ran off into the woods. Jacqueline went off in another direction, having picked up on what she was nearly positive was a conversation between Frodo and Aragorn. Thankfully she wasn't far from them, and she arrived just in time to see Frodo look Aragorn in the eye, asking one of the hardest questions Aragorn would be faced with.
"Can you protect me from yourself?!" Frodo asked, exposing the Ring on his small palm. "Would you destroy it?"
The Ring began letting out eerie ancient whispers, bent on tempting the listening ear. Aragorn looked at it as he advanced towards the hobbit, seeming emotionless yet fighting his own inner battle. He dropped to his knees in front of Frodo, closed his small fingers around the ring and pushed the hobbit's hand away.
"I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor." he confirmed.
Frodo nodded expressively. "I know. Look after the others, especially Sam. He will not understand."
The comment was meant for both Aragorn and Jacqueline, who Frodo had finally spotted her soundlessly moving towards them. Aragorn turned to face her and smiled, welcoming her presence. She returned the gesture, and he turned back to Frodo who had a painful smile on his face. Aragorn suddenly stood up, the smile gone from his face as he saw Sting glow blue.
"Go on Frodo," he urged, joining Jacqueline where she stood. They both had their swords unsheathed, and Jacqueline looked behind them as Aragorn gazed at Frodo. "Run," he said. "Run!"
Frodo left with all the speed he could muster. Jacqueline and Aragorn walked side by side around the decaying Seat of Seeing, greeting the advancing Uruk-hai. Aragorn approached them with his sword up at his face, and Jacqueline eyed them coldly while slowly drawing out her dagger, the first weapon to reach her hip always. They both half smiled at the enemy before attacking. Between the two of them they were able to prove to be a strong force, but the hideous creatures began coming from all directions and Aragorn was soon forced up the Seat if he wanted to stay alive. Jacqueline was forced under it, but for some odd reason not even she could drive fear into them. They were confused, but bent on killing members of the Free Peoples and anything they didn't understand.
Suddenly Jacqueline began feeling tired and overwhelmed. Her mother may have been an elf, but even elves eventually grow tired especially one who wasn't used to being half-elven. Plus she had no idea how to tap into her father's powers, or even if she had access to them. It all seemed near hopeless when a battle cry rang out in the clearing and Aragorn leaped from the Seat onto the Uruks heading towards her. She breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her sword again, hacking off the head of an Uruk-hai who tried to stab Aragorn in the back. Gimli and Legolas arrived then, coming to the aid of their two comrades. Gimli swung his axe, cracking an Uruk- hai's skull as Legolas shot three consecutive arrows. The troops kept coming like there was no end to them, but the small group of friends refused to let up the defense. Without effort Legolas stabbed an Uruk with one of his Lothlorien arrows and shot it at another, while Gimli continued to wield his axe. Jacqueline stabbed one behind Gimli, and he nodded his thanks. Aragorn stabbed an Uruk warrior behind him, and almost immediately Legolas shot another warrior who had caught Aragorn off-guard. Jacqueline brought her sword down behind Legolas, slaying an Uruk-hai that had come up behind him. He looked at the fallen dead creature, then at Jacqueline who shrugged.
"You watch my back and I watch yours, right?"
He smiled and nodded, astounded that she had even known about his protectiveness of her in Moria. They all continued fighting until they heard three ox-horn blasts ring through Amon Hen.
