When they reached Helm's Deep, the battle had already started, the city had been taken over. They stood watching on the hill. Julie aboard Nithir, and Eoywn aboard her horse.

"We must do something," Eoywn said.

"Yes, indeed," Gandalf rode up beside them on Shadowfax. "Theoden-king stands alone."

"Not alone. Rohirrim!" Eomer rode up beside him, then the Rohirrim appeared behind them. "to the king!"

They charged down the hill, the Orcs at the bottom looked frightened at the sight of all the horses and riders coming towards them, that they began to faulter. Julie had her sword drawn that she had taken from the smithy.

'No harm shall come to you, Julie,' Nithir said.

"And none to you, Mav- I mean, Nithir," She held onto his mane with her other hand as they galloped down the hill.

They plunged into the Orcs, killing many. Julie was knocked off of Nithir, her sword was thrown from her hand. She punched the Orc that had attacked her and kicked him between the legs bringing him down. She grabbed her sword and thrust it into his chest. She killed her far share of Orcs, soon she was covered in blood, dirt, and sweat.

When the battle is over Julie see Aragorn embracing Eoywn in a friendly hug. When they go to remount to leave, Julie runs up to Aragorn and raps her arms around his waist.

"I thought you were dead," Tears of relieft and joy filled her eyes.

"No, I did not die," He hugged her back.

She pulled back, and wiped her eyes.

"I feel we have a connection Aragorn, your like a brother to me, I've never had a brother, but I imagen this is what it would feel like," She looked up at him, and he smiled at her.

"Then if you think of me as a brother, then you are my sister, and I will look after you as long as you stay with us," She hugged him again but felt something nudge her back.

Nithir had walked up behind her, he looked at them both.

"Your horse-" Aragorn began.

'I'm not a horse, I'm a Unicorn,'

"Yeah, I didn't tell you about that, Aragorn, Mavrick, is a Unicorn, but his real name is Nithir. I didn't learn his real name until today,"

"A Unicorn,"

'Yes, a unicorn,' Nithir was growing tired of Aragorn.

"Its ok Aragorn, its not like he dangerous," Julie said

"I only thought Unicorns were a myth, I never thought I'd see one,"

"Nope, not a myth, he real as real can be," Julie walked up to Nithir and petted his neck.

Nithir closed his eyes, he was happy to be with her again.

"Come we must go," Aragorn mounted Brego.

Julie jumped ontop Nithir's back and they rode after the others.

"Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift. The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle-earth is about to begin. All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits somewhere in the wilderness." Gandalf said as they looked towards Mordor.

Julie wondered if she and Nithir would fight in the battle for Middle-Earth, and if Frodo would destroy the ring, or if he got caught what would happen.

'Don't worry Julie, everything will be fine,' Nithir could sense her distress.

"I know," She whispered to him.

She leaned forward and hugged his neck.

"I know,"

Don't flame about the brother thing...please...
