I walked with Aragorn and Eowyn around the palace.

"So now what am I going to do?" I asked Aragorn.

"Well you will come with us to Helm's Deep," he explained. "After that you will come back here, where you will stay until I can come get you."

"Alisa," I heard someone yell. I turned around to see Legolas walking towards me. Aragorn and Eowyn kept walking as I waited for him.

"Yes Legolas," I asked.

"Would you like to walk with me," he asked me.

"Sure,"

----------------------------

Legolas and I walked down the steps to the palace and stepped outside in the cool sun light. I looked around and saw the town's people packing up their things and getting ready to leave their home.

"What is it Alisa," Legolas asked.

"I know how they feel," I said. "I had to leave my home to."

"You will be home soon Alisa," Legolas said putting his hand on my shoulder.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," I said.

"Alisa," Aragorn said running up to me. "Everyone is leaving now…"

-------------------------------

"How come you and your brother do not look alike," Eowyn asked, we had finally started the walk to Helms Deep. Eowyn walked next to me, staring down at me. She was taller than me; everyone was, except the dwarf.

"He adopted me after my parents died," I said, looking at my brother than back to Eowyn. Then she looked at Legolas who walked a few feet ahead of us.

"I saw you and the Prince Legolas together," she said.

"Yes, we become friends,"

"Close friends," she asked, I looked up at her, and then looked away.

"We could never be more than friends." I explained. "No one would allow it, except for Aragorn."

"I am sure it will all work out," she said, then went off to talk to Aragorn in front of me. I looked at the two of them. My brother looked like she wanted her to leave; she seemed to be bringing back memories. Painful memories.

-----------------------------

Finally night fell over the camp; the town's people soon fell asleep. But I stayed awake, laying on my back staring up at the stares above. Aragorn always told me that my parents were up in the stars watching over me. I knew Aragorn was awake, smoking on his pipe, I could smell it. He seemed to always be thinking. Legolas stayed on watch; he seemed to always be more alert when I was around him, ever since I had been taken from the Orcs.

"It is not your fault Legolas," I said, sitting up Indian style on the ground.

"Excuse me?"

"The Orcs," I said. "It wasn't your fault I was taken."

"I told Lord Elrond I would watch over you," he explained. "I have failed."

"It wasn't your fault Legolas," I said getting up and sitting down close to him. "It was fate, I was supposed to happen, and you couldn't change it. No one could, not even Aragorn."

"He blames himself to," Legolas said. I glanced over at Aragorn who was still smoking his pipe.

"I know," I said. "He also blames himself that I am here…."

----------------------------------

I woke up the next day, the sun in my eyes, from a dreamless night. Others started to wake up, and soon after breakfast we all started again. I felt something inside of me, telling me to stop, go back, don't walk any farther. I stopped dead in my tracks, something was about to happen.

"Alisa are you alright," Legolas asked, putting a hand on my shoulder. I was about to answer him, but heard a scream of terror. Legolas took off running to the hill.

"You must lead the people to Helms Deep," the king yelled to Eowyn.

"I can fight…"

"No, Alisa go with her…"

-----------------------------------------

It seemed like we had been walking for hours. I finally saw the big stone structure of Helm's Deep. We walked in and already people from other places were already there. I sat down on the steps waiting for Aragorn and Legolas to return.

I fell asleep on the steps but woke up to someone lightly shaking me. I opened my eyes to see blues eyes staring into mine.

"Legolas" I asked.

"You fell asleep on the steps," he said. I looked around looking for Aragorn.

"Legolas," I asked. "Where is Aragorn…"
