"I will go up" Gandalf volunteered. "I have been in Orthanac and I know my peril." Theoden then volunteered as well, and Aragorn was bidden to come. Gimli stated him and Legolas needed and wanted to go to, and I didn't say anything, I just followed. No one said anything though ,they had been used to me just lurking behind them. Pippen began to complain about if he was really needed and of him wanting to go back and eat. I laughed at this.

When we came to the door, Gandalf beat his staff on the ground and shouted "Sauruman, Sauruman! Come Forth!"

Grima's head popped out. Eh, Wrong person. I believe we wanted Sauruman! "Go and fetch Sauruman!" Gandalf shouted to him, and then a few moments later, Sauruman came to the window. The fabric of his robes looked really neat, they changed color every time I blinked, or tuned my head. Some one else might have been thinking that I was trying to pop my neck or something, because I kept turning my head to watch the preeeety colors change.

"Well?" He began "Why do you disturb an old man's rest?" (A/n I cannot write everything exactly, so sorry!) His voice was sweet and flowing, it made me feel (be prepared for this!) Yes, all warm and fuzzy inside. Gandalf said something or other, but all I could hear was his voice. It sounded harsh and course compared to Sauruman's. They all spoke amongst each other, but I was In a trance, not listening to anything but Sauruman's voice and looking at his preeeety robes.

Then he spoke to me..."Lorwen, Danielle, why do you stay with these people?" He asked.

"They cannot help you, though I can. Come up to my tower, and we can discuss getting you back home. It will be easy, and if you really comply, I can even bring back someone you love.." He said. Not caring wether he was reading my mind or not, I was amazed. Could he bring back Haldir?

"Come on, all will be well." He said reassuringly. I slowly slipped off Ambar and walked towards the doors. I was half-way there when I felt two strong hands grip my shoulder, then pulling me back. I turned around, finding Lego behind me. I tried to shrug off his hands, but they were firm.

"What the Hell Legolas! Sauruman can help, he's going to take me home, he's going to bring back Haldir.!" I shouted at Legolas, tears in my eyes. Gandalf rode up beside us.

"He cannot bring back Haldir, no one can. Nor can you ever go back home, Lorwen." He said, then he turned back to Sauruman.

"Who are you to mess with this young girl's heart? Leave her be, Sauruman!" He shouted back. Legolas took Gimli and stuck him on Arod by himself, then picked me up, put me an Ambar, and mounted in front of me. I put my head on his shoulder, and realized elves are so cool to be with in times like these.

The rest of the conversation I never saw, nor heard, for I had profoundly stuck my fingers in my ears and squeezed my eyes shut, so not to be tempted again by Saurumans voice or clothes.

Where did he buy that stuff anyways? Oh, wait, must keep mind off Sauruman... lalalalalalalalalala cant hear him lalalalalalalalalala cant see him.

Eventually I felt Ambar move, and I looked up. Sauruman had crawled away unharmed (thank Valar!), and I made it out without showing my lunch.

"Naa lle quel? (Are you well?)" Legolas whispered.

"Yeah, think so..but how could I have been so stupid? I mean, I know Haldir can never come back, and I never will be able to return home. But still he seemed so right and kind and nice..."

I said.

"But do you think that now, Lorwen?" He asked. I shook my head, and Legolas continued "It is easy to fall prey to Sauruman 's trickery if you aren't prepared. He speaks with a sly tounge, and those that listen and obey usually fall into shadow." He said, then he turned back to facing forward.

The group of many humans, two elves (the others had departed when we reached Fangorn), a dwarf,. Two hobbits, and a wizard, rode straight to Rohan. The humans endured, and were able to ride all night. We finally made it to Edoras about four o'clock the next day according to my watch. The hobbits all fell asleep, and I think Gimli even fell asleep, though he won't admit it no matter how much I poke him. Curses.

"Hey Gandy, are we there yet?" I asked for, like, the billionth time.

"Yes." He said, relived. "I have had to deal with many a hobbits in my time, and they are a queer folk, but you, Lady Lorwen, are a most queer elf." Wait, that's the third time's someone said that, and the second Gandy said it! I hate that.

We rode up the streets of Edoras, cheers emitting from those who had come home to celebrate victory, but silent grief from those whose family did not return. I silently wished for them to be alright and to be able to handle the grief. I left Ambar to the stable hands and looked to Aragorn.

"So, what do I do now?" I asked, eager for something to do, and to keep my mind off things.

"You may prepare for tonight." He replied.

"And what happens tonight, oh mighty king." I said. Aragorn raised an eyebrow.

"I am not yet a monarch, and tonight we are celebrating our victory at Helms Deep." He said, and then walked up, obviously fed up with me and my endless questions. I ran up the stairs, and asked one of the guards where my room would be. He showed me to a door, and then walked off. I opened it, and inside was practically most of the fellowship.

"Hey! Come back here!" I shouted at the guard. He winced, but came back.

"What my lady?" He asked.

"Can't you see that all of them" I pointed at the fellowship "Are guys and no offense, but I can't share a room with guys. I mean, how the hell can I change and get ready, but its also bad enough I'm sleeping in the same room." I said.

"Don't worry, my lady, but you do have your own changing room, but as for your sleeping quarters, I am sorry to say that there is no more room anywhere else." said the guard, and then he bowed, and skittered (a/n yes, that is a new word, deal with it!) Away.

"Well, see you all in a few hours" I said, my face flushed. I wished I hadn't brought that whole changing/sleeping thing up in front of them. I shut the door and walked to my supposed 'changing room'. It was nice inside, with the exception it smelled slightly of horses.(no surprise there, all I can say is Welcome to Rohan!)

I searched through the closet. Tavern Dress. Tavern Dress. Frilly Dress (NO!), Riding Dress. I looked through my backpack. Gap pants, shorts, eek! A formal dress? I never even owned one. It was black, and the skirt on the bottom came down to a point. It had straps and I also found a black flower to pin to my hair. It was perfect, black looked good compared to my blonde hair. I smiled, the flower went well over my pointy ear.

Now for makeup. My bag came with most of the supplies. Lip Gloss, Mascara, Eye Shadow. I never was one for make up though, so it was just lip gloss and mascara for moi. I looked into the mirror again and realized my eyes had turned a deep, deep clear blue. It looked so cool! Being an elf rocked sometimes. I looked at my watch, and saw it was already seven.

I ran into the halls and made it just as Eowyn was handing Theo the cup. I stood next to Legolas, Gimli, and some smelly human.

"Hail the victorious dead!" Theoden shouted.

Legolas handed me a pint just in time for me to shout "Hail!" with everyone else. Then we began to lounge around. I watched Legolas and Gimli have a drinking match, and I laughed my head off. Legolas obviously had never been drunk before, and he was acting all weird. Well, actually, I hadn't ever been drunk, but whatever.

"Hey, Lorwen!" I heard Eomer shout from across the room. "Drinking match!" He said, pointing to his pint. I nodded and we met at a small table. I began to drink and drink and drink and ten minutes later, Eomer collapsed. He hadn't passed out, but I convinced everybody that it had to count. I felt drunk, but I ignored it.

I pulled out my stereo, and began to play the Macerana. Everybody tried to dance to it, but the only ones who really caught on were the hobbits (smart little things! Aren't they so chibi!) I changed the music to the ROTK soundtrack, and everyone either began to relax, or if you were some drunk human, try to start a riot. For example...

Eomer walked up to me. He then wrapped me in his arms and tried to kiss me! Of course, I punched him in the stomach, and knocked the wind out of him. He dropped me, and I fell on the floor. Brushing myself off, I decided to make Eomer jealous.

"Don't you ever try to hit on me again, you drunk foolish human!" I yelled, getting everyone's attention. Then I walked up to Legolas and kissed him, surprising everyone there, especially Lego and Eomer. Then as I slowly walked off to my room, I heard Aragorn whisper to Legolas "Re caele beika sereg. (She has had too much ale)"

I woke up a couple of hours later. I got up to walk around, and I saw Legolas was missing. Now, tell me, what would an elf possibly be doing at (checks watch) 12:30 pm? I jumped and and using elf stealthiness snuck out of the room. I found Legolas outside on the deck, his hood up so his face was shielded from the cold wind.

"The stars are veiled. A sleepless malice. Something stirs in the East." He said. Now, don't get all philosophical on me, bozo elf.

"Ah..Hey Legolas?" I asked.

"Yes Lorwen?"

"About that whole kiss thing this night... I don't know if I was just drunk, or if I really meant it, but just to let you know, I'm sorry for probably embarrassing you In front of all those people." I said.

"N'dela no'ta (Don't worry about it)" He told me. "But I feel you are still in debt to me, so.." He trailed off, and I got suspicious. What was the sucker going to make me do? He then swiftly turned around and the bozo elf tickled me! Tickled me! I couldn't stop laughing, and when Aragorn walked out, and I was rolling on the floor laughing, with Lego tickling me unmercifully. He looked up, and then stood up straight.

"I was just getting her back for earlier Aragorn." Legolas stated. Aragorn laughed, and I stumbled up, my hair now messed up. I took it down, but it blew all over in the wind (why is it always windy in rohan!), so I put my own hood up.

Legolas gave that whole "stars are veiled" speech to Aragorn, but then something came over me.

Elvey senses tingling! What the hell? They said that...

"He's here." Legolas said it for me. Sauron! HERE? We're doomed! All three of us ran to the room, and banged open the door to find poor little Pippen being possesed by a shiny round ball of d00m! Doing the first thing I could think of in my blonde peanut-shell head, I grabbed it from him. Big mistake.

I felt like I was taken to another place. I was back at Helm's Deep, Haldir fighting beside me. Then Sauron appeared, and he asked of my name and where I was. He hurt me when I didn't answer, and then I was ripped from the place back to real life.

Legolas had shaken the Palantir out of my hands, and it had rolled along on the floor until Gandy covered it with a cloth. I hadn't got all spaced out like Pip, but I still felt weak in the knees. Legolas and Aragorn had to help me up so I could stand

After inquiring Pip, Gandy came to me. "What did he say? Where were you?" He asked.

"I was at Helm's Deep. Haldir was fighting at my side. Sauron stopped all of the fighting, then asked me who I was and where I was now. I didn't answer, and he hurt me, then Lego got me out of that thing. Thank you lots Leggers." I said, patting his shoulder.

As soon as morning came, Gandy called for a conference. Apparently, even though the "fool of a took" had been possesed, we had learned Sauron plans to attack Minas Tirith. So he was going to take Pip and me to Minas Tirith.

"But you can't take me!" I cried out. "I need to be with the trio! Please? I promise to be a good queer elf." I said silently crossing my fingers behind my back. Heh heh.

"Well, since you weren't a halfling, he didn't believe you to be carrying the ring, so I'm assuming your safe. I think all they want you for is information from your homeland." Gandy said, nodding thoughtfully. Then Merry, Pipster, and I all walked out behind Gandy to say good-bye. As Pip rode out the gates behind Gandalf, he actually sent me a mental message.

"Lorwen?" He asked, his voice (or thoughts) quivering.

"Yes Pippin?" I replied.

" You can talk to Ele too using this, right?" He asked.

"Uh-huh"

"Well, can you tell her I miss her and in case I don't get to see her after this, that I love her.." He said.

"Of course Pippin. I'll talk to you later!" I said and I 'hung up'.

The day or so in Edoras passed by quickly between all the meetings and stuff. Basically me and Legolas just stood around the hall bored. Well, I was bored. Legolas was actually listening.

At the end of one planning meeting, Aragorn burst through the doors shouting "The beacons of Minas Tirith! The beacons have been lit! Gondor calls for aid!"

Theoden looked around, and everyone looked at him, to see if he would pass the test of a good king. He said "And Rohan will answer. I did my victory dance (twirl around, fall on butt, do the Macerana, then fall again break dancing.) Everyone stared, and I said "Well, you've never tried it so there!" Then, simultaneously, everyone tried to do it. I got confused, then I laughed and began to do it too.

Theo began to shout out orders to everyone, and I stumbled to the stables to find Ambar. He was already saddled and ready. I was craving a big mac sooooo bad, but there was no way I was getting one. When I trotted out of the stable, everyone was outside. Including that basterd of a human Eomer.

He looked at me and winked. I flipped my hair in the blonde I'm-annoyed-with-you-so-I'm-ignoring-you way. He laughed, and Legolas and Aragorn shot him looks of utter death threat. He winced, then moved behind us.

We started out for Minas Tirith at, like, four. It took only a little time to get the riddermark together. We rode out and the city was quiet with, what is it? Fear? Reverence? I obviously don't have enough mind and a big enough vocabulary to describe it. I took out my walkman CD player and put in Green Day. The time seemed perfect to listen to one of my favorite songs, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." While I was listening to it, I though that this must be how Frodo feels, even though he has two friends with him.

I walk a lonely road,

The only one that I have ever known

I don't know where it goes,

But it's only me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk alone

"Make Camp!" Theoden shouted. Great, time to make camp. And this time when we got there, their was already lots and lots of people. But, of course, not enough. Curses. I just followed Lego and Aragorn when everyone split up, and we ended up on a ridge.

Legolas showed me that I got my own tent .Yay! No smelly people (even though Lego isn't smelly) to be sleeping by! Then we sat around a fire and chatted as dusk fell. It was really pretty, across the hills and mountains, so I grabbed my well used sketch pad out of my backpack. I had had it ever since I was thirteen and started taking art classes. Now I could draw pretty well.

"Hey Legolas? Can you draw?" I asked him.

He watched what I was doing for a minute then said "I think I want to try" I handed him that notebook and opened up an new one. After a few minutes of silent drawing, Legolas had drawn the entire sunset. How the hell did he do that? Elves caught on fast I guess to this whole arts and literature thing, I guess.

"Can I borrow this?" He asked. I nodded, and bent back over mine. I drew horses, men, a hobbit, Eowyn being dropped into a vat of chocolate syrup, and Aragorn holding the string to drop her in, laughing.

It was now well past nightfall, and I felt like 'sleeping', so I headed back to my tent. I dropped into bed, but there was a piece of paper on the pillow where I had laid down my head. I opened the paper up, and on it was a drawing I had done when I was 13 of me and Legolas getting kissing beside Crystal and Frodo. I guess we were all getting married, because there was a big, flowery archway above us.

I had done this in pencil, but in blue pen, someone had drawn crowns on our heads and had written above it in elvish "You forgot our crowns." Our crowns... Legolas! Meep! Had he shown this to anyone? I was going to kill him. I stormed out and found him chatting with Bubbles.

"Did you show this to anyone?" I demanded, shoving the paper in his face, and sitting down beside him.

"Erm...only to Aragorn.." He said slowly. I began to repeatedly hit my hand against my forehead in utter annoyance.

"Alright. Just don't do it again, and Aragorn..don't you dare tell anyone about this, or your precious little 'kingly' sword will go missing, and you won't be able to command the dead." I said warning. Aragorn looked confused then nodded. Ha-ha. He didn't get half that sentence. I turned on Legolas.

"Where did you find that drawing?" I asked him.

"In that notebook you let me borrow. I was only trying to look for a blank piece of paper. I also saw some pretty funny ones of Frodo and Aragorn and certain drunk hobbits bending to get under a stick." He replied. Ah, yes. My all famous shit-faced drunk hobbits doing limbo. Heh heh. One of my personal Favorites.

I sighed. Legolas looked at me and then obviously, feeling confident, tried to kiss me. I pushed him away, shaking my finger and saying "Now Legolas, you know better. You're in trouble after tonight, no kissing until tomorrow, and only if you're a good elf, not a bozo elf."

After the attempted kiss I waved good-bye and said to Bubbles and Leggy "Don't leave without me, wake me up when you decide to go to the mountain." Aragorn once again looked confused, and then raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have the gift of foresight, Lorwen?" He asked.

"I guess you could say so" I said, nodding and holding back giggles. Then I skipped to my tent and jumped into bed, no little notes on my pillow this time.
