A/N: First, I know that the chapters are really short, but I hope that you don't mind that. Thanks for reviewing anyway. Also, the name of this chapter is the name of a chapter in the book. It is not a name that I made up, so please don't yell at me. Enjoy!

Everyone was happy to see Frodo and Sam alive, but Esgalia was more happy to see her daughter and Kyran alive. Actually, Renamira and Kyran will still just happy that they were alive. It had been pretty scary. Although, getting a chance to stab the Great Speaker was pretty cool. She introduced Sakgahn, who had managed to live, to Esgalia, and was happy to see that her mother didn't seem to mind him. Afterward, the armies headed back towards Minas Tirith.

It seemed altogether too fast for Renamira to take it all in. First, she witnessed the amazing recoveries of Faramir and Eowyn, and then Aragorn was crowned King of Gondor. She was even more overwhelmed when Aragorn promised that she, as daughter of Denethor, would have special privileges, and she and her mother would be honored for their brave deeds. Not long after, Beregond proposed to Esgalia, and since her mother was now moving to Emyn Arnen, it only seemed right that Sakgahn and Renamira should come along as well. Sakgahn had been granted amnesty for his orcish deeds, and was now a proud citizen of Gondor. But what came as a surprise to some, and not as much a surprise to others, was Kyran's proposal to Renamira. She immediately accepted, and they prepared to get married.

Of course, they had to stay in Minas Tirith for a while, and they got to stay in some nice rooms on the fourth level. Renamira had her own room, and she could finally sleep peacefully, knowing that everything was all right.

But unfortunately, everything wasn't all right. There was one more person who had not yet been factored in to this whole mess. His name was Berheam, and he had been Denethor's advisor for many years. It was really him who had suggested that Denethor get rid of the baby girl, so that no one would know about her. And it was he who still wanted that baby dead. He had never guessed that the baby would actually live, and come back to Gondor. He had to get rid of her, somehow.

That 'somehow' was a simple thing, really. He hired a young man to kill her, but the man wouldn't do it. He left, and didn't come back. So Berheam was forced to do it himself. He snuck down one night all covered in gray. He meant to merely stab her in the heart, and then run away, shedding the clothes as he went, so that he would not be caught. His dagger ready, he crept into the house where the girl slept. The guards were fast asleep as well, and it wasn't hard to make his way to the girl's room. He went over to her bed, raised his dagger, and plunged. Renamira obviously woke with a start, and screamed. The sound was horrific, and it woke the guards, as well as Kyran, who was sleeping in the next room.

The guards were able to nab the perpetrator before he could escape, but it was a little too late. Kyran rushed to Renamira's side, where he saw her struggling to breathe, with blood coming out all over her chest. He couldn't tell if the dagger had hit her heart, but she was in dreadful pain. He quickly lifted her from the bed, but nearly fell over from the weight. He yelled for some guards to come help him, and they did. As quickly as they could they rushed out of the house and up towards the Houses of Healing. As they went, Kyran leaned in to Renamira as she slowly closed her eyes, and whispered, "It's going to be all right, you're going to be all right..."

Kyran was scared. It had been almost two hours since Renamira had been stabbed in the chest. Somehow they had made it to the Houses of Healing, where Aragorn had been summoned. But this was something that even the most skilled healers cannot always heal. He did not know if the knife had entered her heart, but since she was still alive, somewhat, he hoped that it had not.

Esgalia and Sakgahn were also awake. It hadn't been too long after the incident that they had been brought to the Houses of Healing. You can only just imagine Esgalia's reaction when she heard that her daughter had been stabbed. Sakgahn's reaction was not much better. Now they both stood by the bedside, watching the healers work, and hoping to see Renamira's eyes open.

Renamira had not opened her eyes since that moment almost two hours ago when Kyran had whispered that everything would be all right. You would think that Renamira would be suffering from terrible pain, but in reality, the worst torment was from within. Her mind was racing, and she was seeing terrible things. Sauron might have been defeated, but his spirit was still almost existent in her mind, and she saw him clearly. She nearly cried out, and she was scared. Nothing is more terrible than having your mind betraying you, and causing you to believe that you cannot make it.

"We need to wake her," said Aragorn. "If we don't, her mind will cause her to believe that she cannot live, and she will die. The wound is all right, it did not pierce the lungs or the heart, but she is tormented in her mind, I can tell. She is suffering." Esgalia was relieved and upset. This could not get worse.

They called Kyran inside. They might need him to call her out of her sleep. "Renamira, please wake up. You are all right, you are all right," Kyran said, desperately trying to call her. But it didn't work. Esgalia tried too, but it still didn't work. How could they save her?

Renamira was slipping. Her mind was losing its grip, and she was losing her will to live. She could hear voices, but they did not seem too familiar. She just wanted to die, to get away from this pain, from this torment, from this anguish. She had no more desire to live. She just wanted to get away...
