Thanks to all who gave me constructive criticism.
Andromida, Colangreen leaf, Laureline, Mary Aseltyne, and Morima; I learned a great deal from all of you. I truly appreciate all of your advice.
Story:
"Eadhild, look over here. When we get through the forest, in the center is Isengard. It is beautiful. I know you will like it there.", Elrohir said, trying to raise Eadhild's spirits.
"That's really nice. Thank you, both of you. I appreciate you taking me here.", she said meaning what she said, about her gratitude to the twins. Yet, she wished that she didn't have to be there. She longed to be anywhere, but in Isengard apprenticed to Saruman the White.
Elrohir sighed. Both he, and Elladan could tell she didn't want to be there. They knew though, their Adar and hers had done what they thought best for her.
They made their way through the canopy of trees. In the center they saw the tower, just as Elrohir said it would be. Eadhild remembered the tower all too well. It was just the way it had been in her vision. As Elrohir took Eadhild off of the horse, the trio saw him looking down at them from the balcony of the tower.
"I don't understand. We just saw him in the tower.", she whispered, as Saruman came out of the front door to the tower.
"Welcome Elrohir, and Elladan sons of Elrond. Welcome Eadhild, daughter of Gandalf the Grey. I have been told that you will be my apprentice.", Saruman said, appraising the young girl before him.
"Yes, master. I thank you for your welcome.", she answered softly.
Too a untrained eye, she looked no different from any other maiden of Rohan. "Yet, I know differently. I can feel your untapped powers. Yes, Gandalf is right. You do have potential.", Saruman the white thought, as he went back towards the twins.
"Will you, and Elladan stay for dinner?", Saruman asked, as he escorted his new apprentice into the tower.
As Elladan was about to say yes, Elrohir shook his head.
"I apologize. Father has asked us to return directly to Imlradis, as soon as we delivered Eadhild to Isengard.", Elrohir said respectfully.
"Be certain then, to give your Adar my warmest regards.", Saruman said as he, and Eadhild went into the tower. "Have a safe journey back to your home.", Saruman added, as he stood with a very surprised Eadhild looking down at the twins from the balcony from where the traveling trio had first seen him.
"You must be hungry Eadhild. Come, I have a meal prepared for you.", Saruman said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Saruman led her to her room. Eadhild felt a tremor of fear sweep throughout her entire being.
"You meal is on the night stand. Sleep well my apprentice. Your training will begin tomorrow.", Saruman said.
"Good night, Master.", she said, trying unsuccessfully to shield her emotions of fear and terror from her master.
"She is afraid of me. Why?", Saruman asked himself. "Just what secrets are hidden in that little mind of yours Eadhild?"
He hid just outside the door. He stood outside, and worked a spell. He tried to pry into her mind. Yet, he was unable to. As he was about to ponder this, he remembered Gandalf's words in his letter to him.
"Her powers are quite strong. Yet, she still can not control them properly.", Gandalf said. "I think that she has potential, if 'you' can train her."
In Eadhild's room she once again felt the presence of Galadriel.
"Calm yourself. I was able to hide your thoughts from Saruman. This time. But my power is not absolute. Concentrate on your lessons, and only on them for the time being. Do not fear. When you have need of me again, I will be near.", Galadriel's voice admonished before dissappearing.
Eadhild forced herself to calm down. She decided it best to do the meditation exercises that her father had taught to her. She hated doing the exercises at the time. Yet she did them in order to please her father. Although, he was not fooled by her obedience. He knew that she thought the exercises to be archaic, and out moded. Now though, she found them to be precisely what she needed. She felt a complete calm come over her. The fear, and terror that had engrossed her was gone. She ate her meal, and went to sleep. She never realized that Saruman the white was right outside her door.
Outside the door, Saruman stood. He knew full well that she was unaware of his presence. He reached out again. This time he was successful.
"So, you are calm now. Yet, what about me frightened you before?", Saruman thought, as he heard the door from the front of the tower bang open.
He quickly left Eadhild to rest. He arrived at the door to the audience chamber, as the orc walked into the chamber uninvited. Upon seeing the orc, he quickly put a spell on Eadhild's door so it would remain locked until the orc left.
"I told you not to come, until I sent for you.", Saruman said in a angry, impatient voice.
"I have been 'sent' to you. You have not consulted the eye in a timely manner.", the orc said.
"Palantir, it is a Palantir. It the device through.", Saruman stopped. "Never mind. What are your orders?"
"I have been told to let you know that the ring is close. Sauron has sent out the ringwraiths. Soon all, will belong to Sauron.", the orc proclaimed.
"Yes. Of course. Is there anything else?", Saruman asked.
"No, Saruman the white.", the orc said fidgeting.
"Very well then. Remember not to come here again until 'I' send for you. My apprentice will need to see the palantir first. Until she does, you will not come here again.", Saruman stated.
"And when will that be?", the orc asked.
"I will 'tell' you when. Until it is time for her to see the Palantir, she must not think anything is amiss. For now", Saruman said coldly, as both he and the orc looked up at the room where Eadhild lay sleeping.
The next day Eadhild woke up. She found breakfast waiting for her on the night stand, just as it had been the previous night. She quickly ate, got dressed, and walked down to the audience chamber.
"Good morning my apprentice. It is time to begin your lessons.", Saruman said, not giving eadhild a chance to answer.
He quickly launched into her lessons. She paid attention to every detail, and did her best to learn all that she could. She did the chores that Saruman assigned to her with diligence, and without complaint. As the days past, she had completely forgotten about the visions. She had forgotten, even about Galadriel.
