Raz 42492: I'm glad you feel better. :)

ElvenMaidenHobbitGirl: No wedding bells anytime soon in their future. Things are about to get very intense. The you wouldn't want to be in the same universe with them kind of intense.

Laer4572: Lord I hope he doesn't. hehe.

Miriellar: Well...Not always as he is about to find out later on. (Not this chapter though.)

TriGemini: Yea Rumil was just teasing her. That gift soon becomes more trouble than its worth.

A/N: I've upped the rating and should have done so sooner. I'm sorry to those of you who are saying this isn't PG-13. I thought I had already rated it at R.

Brianna wakes early the next morning and quickly dresses intending to meet Rumil at the carpenter's talan. She steps into the main room of the talan just as Haldir comes out of his room. He mumbles a hasty 'good morning' to her before exiting the talan quickly.

Brianna curiously watches him leave before grabbing an apple off the table. She sits at Haldir's desk to go over some paperwork while she eats her breakfast. She is about to go meet Rumil when Haldir appears in the doorway.

"Gather your healing supplies quickly. We make for the border in an hour," he tells her as he begins gathering his weapons. Brianna quickly makes her way to the healing talan to retrieve one of the already prepared bags of healing supplies, fearing the worst the entire way there.

She stops at the carpenter's talan to look for Rumil. "Will you tell Rumil that I have to go to the border imediately and won't be able to meet him this morning?" she asks one of the carpeters.

"There is no need, milady. He has already left the same message for you," he smiles.

"Oh," Brianna says slightly surprised. "Well, thanks," she says as she starts out the door.

Haldir and both of his brothers are waiting at the central talan for Brianna when she arrives. "What is going on? Was there an attack?" she questions.

"I do not know. The Lady only said that we are needed at the western borders," Haldir replies.

The four begin their hasty journey through the forest. Brianna is surprised that she is able to keep up with the others as they run through the forest. Normally it takes a day and a half to reach the western borders but at the speed Haldir led them at, they reach it before nightfall.

Haldir goes to speak with the Captain on duty while Brianna and his brothers rest in one of the talans. When Haldir returns they look up at him curiously.

"Nothing has happened," Haldir says with a look of confusion.

Rumil shrugs, "Perhaps something is about to and she wanted us prepared for it."

Haldir nods. "You two go and join the watch. I want to be informed of anything suspicious, imediately." Haldir sits down as his brothers exit the talan. "Brianna, you should rest. If we are to be attacked..." he trails off not wanting to think of what could happen.

Brianna sighs and lies down, knowing that he's right. She's faintly aware of someone placing a blanket over her as she falls asleep a few minutes later.

Brianna wakes up sometime later and looks around for what woke her up. She hears a gruff voice saying something about the eyes of a hawk. She here's Haldir sarcastically remark, "The dwarf breaths so loud we could have shot him in the dark." She chuckles and she carefully peeks over the edge of the talan when curiousity gets the better of her. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, willing her fear of heights to go away.

Once Brianna calms down she slowly opens her eyes and gasps at the sight below her. The Galadrim are circled around two men, an elf, a dwarf, and four of what could only be hobbits. "Oh my God!" she whispers and scrambles back to the center of the talan. 'The Fellowship! That means... What do I do? Should I tell Galadriel that I know what happens? Should I tell them? Would it change anything if I do?'

"Yes, Brianna it could. Do not tell anyone that you have this knowledge," Galadriel's voice whispers through her head.

Brianna sighs. 'Alright, milady.' She quickly stands up when Haldir appears at the edge of the talan, followed by the fellowship and then Haldir's brothers.

She stands at attention at the edge of the talan, along with Rumil and Orophin, as Haldir talks to the fellowship. When he tells them they can't go any further Aragorn pulls Haldir to the side where they are standing and basically begs him to allow the fellowship to go through the forest.

Haldir finally agrees and leads them to a talan where they can rest for the night. Brianna checks Sam's injuries and then moves over to Frodo. "Sam tells me that you were hurt in Moria," she says softly as she kneels down in front of him.

Frodo nods. "A troll hit me with a spear."

"And you're still alive? You are a strong one, Master Frodo," she smiles. "Remove your shirt so I may attend to your wounds."

When Frodo takes his shirt off Brianna's eyes are drawn to the ring hanging around his neck. She feels it calling to her and she shakes her head trying to rid herself of the feeling. She has no intention of taking it but she can't take her eyes off of the evil thing as if she were afraid it would attack her if she did. Frodo notices this and grasps the ring in his hand and glances up at her.

Brianna smiles sadly and shakes her head. "Do not worry Frodo, I know what that thing is capable of and I don't want anything to do with it. The evil that thing possesses scares me more that anything ever has before. You are truly brave for taking on this burden," she tells him and he relaxes at the sight of honesty in her eyes.

Brianna carefully pushes on his ribs and sighs when he winces. "Sorry, Frodo but I need to make sure your ribs are not broken." When Brianna is satisfied that none of his ribs are broken she sits back and pulls a roll of bandages out of her pack. "None of your ribs are broken but I fear that a couple of them are cracked. This will feel tight and will hinder some movement but it's necessary to help you heal faster," she tells him as she begins wraping the bandage around his body from his chest to his waist.

As the group makes its way toward Caras Galadon the next morning Brianna chats with the hobbits, Boromir, Aragorn and Gimli in order to get to know more about them. But as she's talking with Legolas Haldir turns and glares at her. "Captain Brianna, you should be watching for danger not chattering mindlessly and attracting attention of any orcs."

The fellowship watch in surprise when Brianna bites back at her superior, "If there are orcs this close to Caras Galadon, March Warden, then you are not doing your job." Haldir's brothers just watch in amusement as yet another argument between the two breaks out.

The fellowship, not knowing about their apparant love of arguing, are even more surprised that Haldir begins to argue with her instead of repremending Brianna for her obvious insubordination.

"That is not the point," Haldir growls in frustration.

Brianna moves to the front of the group and falls into step beside Haldir. "That is exactly the point, Haldir. You and I both know that you have these woods well protected, so why don't you just tell the truth? You're tired of hearing my voice and want me to shut up so you can have some peace and quiet."

He looks over at her and the fellowship is shocked when Haldir laughs and the serious, cold attitude he's had the whole time completely gone. Aragorn shakes his head in amusement as the two then begin a lighthearted conversation in front of him as the group continues on.
