Leslie's POV

Slowly Théoden left his chair. A faint light grew in the hall again. The woman hastened to the king's side, taking his arm, and faltering steps the used to be old man came down from the dais and paced softly through the hall. Wormtongue remained lying on the floor. I bent down in front of him and grinned at him. They came to the doors and Gandalf knocked.

"Open! The Lord of the Mark comes forth!" Gandalf cried.

The doors rolled back and a keen air came whistling in. A wind was blowing on the hill making our hair fly around our heads. I just love that feeling.

"Send your guards down to the stairs' foot. And you, lady, leave him a while with me. I will care for him." Gandalf said.

"Go Eowyn sister-daughter! The time for fear is past." Théoden said.

The woman turned and went slowly into the house. As she passed the doors, she turned and looked back. Grave and thoughtful was her glance, as she looked on the king with cool pity in her eyes. Very fair was her face, blah, blah, blah. I don't need to tell you she is obviously prettier than me.

"That is not true. You're very pretty." Hopper said looking at me and I blinked. Was I talking aloud?

"Yes you were." Hopper answered.

"Very creepy." I said.

"Yes, it is."

"Uh-huh."

"Yes."

"Alrighty."

"Is that even a real word?"

"Maybe…"

"I see."

"What were we talking about?"

"Don't remember."

"Yup."

"Indeed."

"DON'T START AGAIN!" Gandalf shouted at us finally loosing his patience.

"Geez, no need to be mad." I mumbled.

"Kids… Ahem. Now, lord, look out upon your land! Breath the free air again!" Gandalf said. I wanted to add that I was a teenager and not a kid. I saw Wormtongue at the corner of my eye trying to sneak away and pounced on top of him like when a Warg doesn't want to let its victim escape and I sat on him as if he were a chair grinning with a smug look in my face.

"It is not dark here." Théoden said.

"No, nor does age lie so heavily on your shoulders as some would have you think. Cast aside your prop." Gandalf said. They were ignoring what I just did or just haven't noticed yet but I wasn't going to put it to there attention yet.

"Dark have been my dreams of late, but I feel as one new-awakened. I would now that you have come too late, only to see the last days of my house. Not long now shall stand the high hall which Brego son of Eorl built. Fire shall devour the high seat. What is to be done?" Théoden said.

"For starters you don't have to be so negative." I said scowling.

"Hush!" Gandalf said glaring at me.

"Well I am obviously not appreciated here! I shall leave." I said and walked out of the room. Gandalf thinking that I was probably just going to walk around the house let me go. But oh no, I was actually going to walk around town. Of course, I absolutely forgot about sitting on Wormtongue. But not to worry cause I saw all my friends coming out of the halls and tossing Wormtongue to the floor. Théoden was about to kill him but Aragorn stopped him. Damn I wanted to see him dead, which is weird cause before I ended up in Middle Earth I was terrified at the sight of blood and would instantly leave the kitchen if my mom were cooking meat. Ok. Wormtongue is now coming in my direction. He pushed me to the ground and I growled as I stuck out my foot in front of him making him trip and fall straight on his face.

"Ha-ha-ha. Serves you right." I said grinning. He growled and got up. For a second I thought he was going to smack me but then just scowled and ran off.

"Right. Back to observing." I said cheerfully and walked past Aragorn who was next to Théoden so I could head back to the town. But Aragorn grabbed me. Both Théoden and I looked at him curiously.

"You. Bed. Now!" He said staring at me and I blinked confused.

"Wha?" I asked confused.

"You have not been sleeping properly. Don't think I haven't noticed so bed now!" He said and I scowled. Who did he think he was? He has no right to tell me.

"I-you-wha- ARGH! FINE! But just remember this Aragorn! You are not my father." I said the last words with venom in my voice and walked away leaving a shocked Aragorn behind. It was easy to tell that my words hurt him. Once I went inside I took in that final thing I thought. Did he really think of me as his daughter? Or maybe a little sister? I don't know. It's kinda nice. I am kinda tired. Some sleep will do me some good. I walked into the room that the maid had showed me and got into the bed after changing quickly and instantly sleep took me.

"Hello Shadow Killer. Long time no talk." I said staring at an exact replica of myself.

"Likewise I'm sure. So how is your life going so far?" Shadow Killer responded.

"Eh, its fine. Daddy Aragorn made me go to bed early cause he didn't think I slept enough." I answered rolling my eyes.

"Les, when was the last time we talked?" Shadow Killer asked and I blinked confused.

"Um, a week or two I think. Don't remember." I answered unsure.

"That proves that Aragorn was right. You aren't getting enough sleep. I visit you when your asleep and always when your asleep. If you haven't seen me in over a week then that means you didn't sleep long enough so I could have time to even say hello." Shadow Killer said giving me a pointed stare. My fox ears twitched slightly along with my tail.

"Oh." I said with my ears bending farther back. I hadn't really realized how little I have been ignoring sleep.

"Oh? Is that all you have to say? If you keep ignoring the sleep you need you will collapse in the middle of battle."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I will try and sleep more often if that will make you feel better." I said quietly the blinked realizing that we were back in my room. But it looked different. The TV was missing for starters. I opened the drawers to find all of my sisters things missing. I opened the closet to find the clothes that I wore when I was 5 and younger.

"Shadow Killer? What happened to all of my sisters stuff?" I asked uncertain. Shadow Killer was lying on my bed.

"When we appear somewhere to talk which is normally here. It appears the way it is in your old world. To answer your question your sister got married and moved out." Shadow Killer said.

"She got married? But she is only 18! If she did get married it was probably against my mom's wishes. Mom must have been furious. Did she elope? Or something?" I asked wanting to at least know how she got married.

"Yes, she eloped."

"Then I hope she has a lot of happiness in her life." I said sincerely. My eyes had a few tears coming down them.

"Yes, somehow I expected that answer from you. I looked into your history. You used to be a crybaby, crying at every bad thing they told you. Never really doing anything to stop them. Then the school district moved you to a new school where people picked on you worse than ever before. You didn't tell anybody thinking it would all stop but they just continued doing it. You're the kind of person that adapts quickly to a situation. For example, you just met Hopper a few days ago. Can you imagine life without him?" Shadow Killer asked.

"NO! That is almost impossible." I said instantly then blushed.

"You love him don't you?" Shadow Killer asked with a knowing grin.

"Maybe." I answered looking up and twisted my thumb gently as to not break it.

"In other words, yes. You looked up and twisted your thumb. If you meant no then you just would have looked up." Shadow Killer said grinning.

"You really went so far as to observing my sign language in the past when I answer as maybe?" I just got a grin in response.

"Wake up my little princess." Hopper murmured not expecting to wake me up in the first try.

"Did you just call me your princess?" I murmured sleepily. I always woke up on the first try unless I pretended to be asleep. Hopper blushed at being caught.

"I'm sorry I know you don't like to be referred as a possession but-" Hopper said.

"From you. It's ok." I murmured then got up slowly and walked to the closet to change.

"So why wake me up?" I asked.

"Théoden has ordered that all must go to Helm's Deep. Orcs and Urukhai are planning to attack the people of Rohan. He believes that sending them to Helm's Deep will save them but he is just cornering them." Hopper said scowling. I had to agree with him there. I had a feeling things weren't going to end well and my feelings are never wrong especially when they warn me. Before I knew it we were all heading toward Helm's Deep. I was walking cause I felt like it and was with the little kids singing one of my favorite little kid songs.

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are grey

You never know dear how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear

While I was sleeping

I dreamt I had you in my arms

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head and cried

(The next part is the same lyrics only humming)

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are grey

You never know dear how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear

While I was sleeping

I dreamt I had you in my arms

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head and cried.

I smiled as I watched all the little kids smiling and laughing at my little dance as I sung. It made me glad that I had accomplished in making them forget there misery for a little while.

"That's a cute song." Hopper smirked at me and I grinned.

"Its one of my favorite ones when I was little." I said to him as the little kids started to do there best in singing it themselves but they were having a little trouble remembering the words so instead the just hummed it. Then something hit me. After I looked around to see what hit me and didn't find anything, I realized something.

"Hopper."

"Yes, Princess?"

"I am not little."
