I confused myself! I had to make a change in this chapter so yall wouldn't get confused and yell at me about it. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews.
If you want to see a disclaimer, go to chapter one.
In Isengard, Saruman had his hand over the paltinar, watching the company of the now five compaions. He saw Julie astride Mavrick, Saruman knew that the unicorns were rare to Middle Earth after being hunted to nearly extentiction. This unicorn however was not from Middle Earth, which made Saruman want him even more. He ordered a group of ten Orks led by one Urk-hai into the tower to reicieve orders.
"Bargot, look in the the stone. Tell me what do you see?"
"A girl, and a beast," The Urk-hai answered.
"Of course, but this is no ordinary beast, Bargot. This is a unicorn, I want him. I can use his power to make Urk-hai of great power! Even you Bargot, may recieve a portion of this power if you capture the beast,"
Bargot ginned and growled a little.
"You will have him Master Saruman," He ran out of the tower followed by the Orks.
The five compaions enter the gates of Edoras. Julie rode in behind Aragorn, who saw a flag with a white horse land on the ground.
"You'll find more cheer in a gravy yard," Gimli said as they looked at the people of Edoras watch them ride through the city.
"You can say that again," Julie saw one man with an agray expresion on his face.
They stoped their horses and got off.
"Julie, do not speak. You are not from here, so you musent intefer," Gandalf ordered.
"Ok," Julie nodded her head.
"Not a word,"
"Right,"
They walked up the steps to the door. Several guards came out.
"Ah," Gandalf saw them and gave a little smile.
"I cannot allow you before Theoden-king so armed, Gandalf Grayhame. By order of Grima Wormtongue," The guard told him.
Gandalf nodded to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. They took off their weapons and handed them to the other guards. Aragorn, then realised he didn't have his dagger, what had he done with it. Julie cleared her throat and a tap came on Aragorn's left shoulder. He looked and she was handing him his dagger back.
"I didn't have to use it," She said quietly to him.
"Good," He handed it to the gurad.
"Your staff," Hama wanted Gandalf to give it up aswell.
"Hmm? Oh. No, you would not part an old man from his walking stick?" Gandalf lended into the staff like he really needed it.
He let them pass through the doors. Gandalf walked beside Legolas, his arm linked into his, not using the staff. Aragorn was behind Gandalf, Julie in the middle, and Gimli beside her. There was mummering from an guy who Julie quessed was Grima Wormtongue. Then Gandalf spoke to the king.
"The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Theoden-King,"
There was more mummering before the king replyed to Gandalf.
"Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stromcrow?"
"A just question, my liege. Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear. Lathspell I name him. Ill news is an ill guest," Grima stood up and spoke at Gandalf.
"Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm," Gandalf brought his staff up right so it would be standing beside him, Grima took notice of it.
"Hi staff! I told you to take the wizard's staff!" He barked at Hama.
A fight began between those loyal to Grima and the four compaions, while Gandalf worked his magic on the king. Eowyn came in she went to rush for her uncle but Aragorn caught her by the arm and told her to wait.
"Rohan is mine!" The pozesed king yells.
"Be gone!" Gandalf thrust his staff towards the king who slams back in his throne.
Eowyn rushs to him and supports him. He started to change, his old gray hair and white skin started to go away. His haired turned a golden color and his skin became soft and unwrinkled. He stared into Eowyn's joyful but worried eyes.
"I know your face. Eowyn...Eowyn," He turned to look at Gandalf. "Gandalf."
"Breathe the free air again, my friend," Gandalf said.
Grima had been chased off by the king, then saddly Theoden had to be told once more his only son had died. He was shattered, his only heir. While at Theodred's tomb, Gandalf see a horse in the distance. Aboard the horse were two childeren, one who falls from him. They are taken into the Golden Hall and given food.
"They had no warning. They were unarmed. Now the wildmen are moving through westfold, burning as they go. Rick, cot, and tree," Eowyn said as she conforted the little girl.
"This is but a taste of the terror that Saruman will unleash. All the more potent for he is driven now by fear of Sauron. Ride out and meet him head on. Draw him away from your women and children. You must fight." Gandalf told Theoden.
Julie could sence a fight coming up, she didn't want any part of it. This was not about her, she didn't live here. There was nothing she could say that could give advice. Besides, she thought. who will listen to a girl? She walked out and went to the stable where Mavrick was stalled.
'I hate being inside,' He tossed his head. 'only Shadowfax understands how I feel, he too doesn't like being crampted in the stall.'
"You've made a friend?" Julie walked up to him and gave him a apple she took from the table.
'Hes a stallion, a lord. Hes watchful of me, he knows I'm not a horse. I don't think we are friends, we can just relate to things,' He ate the apple greatfully.
"Does he talk to you?"
'He only asked of my name, once I told him he became watchful, the other horses ignor me.'
"I'm sorry, come on then," She unlocked the stall door and let him out.
They walked out of the city and Mavrick strang into a gallop. He was barely visible in the fadding light. Julie smiled at her friend, she was glad to have him.
"Hes special," Julie jumped, she turned to see Aragorn.
"How'd it go in there?"
Aragorn watched Mavrick run around and buck.
"Not good I'm quessing," Julie sat down on the ground.
"We are moving in the morning, to Helm's Deep, a fortess built in the side of a mountain. A death trap."
"If you ask me, I think the king is a coward," Julie said it cooly.
"He is not a coward, he thinks this is best for his people. Only he doesn't know what he is doing will cause the death to many." Aragorn sat beside her.
"How old are you Aragorn?" Julie had been trying to estimate his age ever sence she met him.
"I do not keep track of the years of my birth, I am far to busy to take the time,"
"Really, I thought everyone celebrated their birthday,"
"There some here that do, our friends that we were looking for do. Their ways are different then what I'm used to," Mavrick had stopped, he watched them and then started towards them.
"Mavrick is the jealous type, just watch," Julie smiled.
Mavrick came up and pushed Aragorn away from Julie, when Aragorn resisted he put his ears back and was going to bit him but Julie poked his check.
"Stop it! Hes not hurting anything sitting there," Julie shoed him away from Aragorn.
"I see," He stood up.
"But hes a loyal friend, he protects me," She patted Mavrick on the shoulder.
"You'd better put him in the stable, you need to get to bed a rest. Its going to be a long journy to Helm's Deep," Aragorn didn't smile, he place a hand on Mavrick's nose then walked away.
'What was that about?'
"What?"
'You were sitting to closely together,' They started to walk toward the gate.
"We were not!"
'Yes you were! You are far to young for him, who knows how old he is,'
They walked to the barn, bickering at each other.
