Myri78: I guess you will have to wait and see what happens with Alisa and Legolas.

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

The word was we would be staying at Helms Deep for three days. Gandalf had asked King Théoden to ride with him to Isengard, and somehow everyone ended up agreeing to go. I knew an evil greater was at Isengard.

"Isengard is a great ring-wall of stone sheltered by the mountainside. It has only one entrance, a great arch in the southern wall leading into a long tunnel. Both sides of the tunnel close with huge doors of solid iron." Aragorn explained, I followed behind him, along with Legolas and Gimli. I stepped over many dead orc bodies, some rotting, and decaying in the sun. Many rushed around preparing for Isengard.

"I do not think you should go Alisa," Aragorn said, he stopped to look at me on the steps of the entrance of Helms Deep.

"So I will stay hear," I asked

"Yes or you will go back with the people to Rohan," he mumbled, not really looking at me, but at all the dead Orcs.

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

Alisa," I heard my name being called, I stopped and waited for Eowyn to run up next to me. "How are you today?"

"Better than yesterday," I said looking out into the distance.

"Ready for the feast tonight? It is in honor of my uncle, and your fellowship"

"I am not going, I have nothing nice to wear," I stated, looking at her.

"Do not worry; I have some dresses you can wear. You know where to find me, meet me there soon" and with that she was gone.

I sat on a balcony looking out over the gates of Helms Deep. Life was changing for the better. Legolas popped into my head. I was close to Legolas then anyone else, well our actions did not show it, but in our heart it did. I felt things for him, things I had felt for my friend Jonea.

I was scared to love someone; everyone who I had loved in the past had died, or had walked out of my life. I did not know where I was going to go after this was all over. I walked into one of the many hallways in Helms Deep. I found Eowyn in a room, putting many dresses on the bed. I looked at them all, and then finally picked out a light blue one; it went all the way to the floor. It had a low cut top, and had long sleeves on it. I put it on then Eowyn did my hair. She braided the sides, and then pulled them back.

"You look lovely," she said, looking at me, and then smiling. I looked in the mirror, and saw a different person smiling back at me. I had left Rivendell as a ten year old at heart, and now in Helms Deep I had aged about twenty more years.

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

I stepped into the dinning area; Eowyn had left minutes ago, and was now sitting at a table. I looked around, no one really noticing me. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, King Théoden, Eowyn and Gandalf sat at the head table; one chair next to Legolas was empty. I remembered last time I was at a feast. I had been sitting next to Legolas, with Frodo across from me, and the other hobbits next to him. They had asked many questions that night, and it ached in my heart that they could not ask questions tonight. I missed them all, especially Pippin, who I could talk to for hours with.

I walked slowly over to them; many looked at me, thinking I was sister to Aragorn. They thought I was someone special, someone raised by kings like Eowyn. But I wasn't, their was only one heir to Gondor, and that was Aragorn, not me. Everyone noticed me, and stood up, then sat down when I took my seat. Aragorn who was on my left leaned in to talk to me.

"Alisa, you could almost pass as a lady," he whispered, Legolas, who was on my right heard this and a smile grew on his lips.

"Very funny," I mumbled, and then looked at Gimli who sat across from me. He also looked like he couldn't believe that I looked like a lady.

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

The feast lasted hours, days it seemed to me. Nothing interested me, until my name was spoken.

"Alisa," King Théoden said to get my attention. I took a drink from my glass and looked at him. "Your old enough, when will you get married," King Théoden asked. I almost spit out the drink in my mouth. I heard Aragorn slightly laugh, and I felt Legolas next to me tense up. "Have you found someone in Gondor to love?"

"So many questions you have King Théoden," I said, glaring at him, but he seemed not to notice it.

"You do not love anyone," he asked. I looked at him, and then looked away.

"Who says I do not love." I snapped, "Maybe I found love….here," and with that I stood up and walked out of the room, ignoring the stares and whispers from the people.

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

I knew he was behind me; he had been following me for sometime now. I stopped on the steps outside.

"Legolas I know your there. You can stop pretending." I said, and turned around to face him.

"I am sorry my lady," he said, watching me pace around, I stopped when he said that.

"Last time you called me that was at the last feast," I said smiling at him.

He sat down next to me and looked out into the distance.

"I had to leave the feat," I said. "I can not have fun while four of my friends are still fighting."

"I will miss you Legolas," I said. "When I go to Rohan, who will I talk to? Will I ever see you again?"

"Of course Alisa," he said. "I will be with Aragorn when he comes back from the war to get you."

"Do you promise," I asked.

"Yes I promise…"
