A1DS : 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 went to Edoras and the Golden Hall of Medusel with Eowyn, as the rest went to Isengard to see what they where up against and how many men they needed. I was happy to leave Helms Deep, to much death around me, to much hate and tears.

I spent a lot of my time out on the balcony looking out in the distance. I had a lot of time to think to myself, I realized I was in love with Legolas more than anything. He was the right person for me, but I could lose that chance if I didn't talk to him soon about it. But he was an Elf and I was mortal. He would live forever. Could he really love me back?

Figures on horseback where forming in the distance and when they got closer I saw two new riders with them. I flew down the steps and out of the palace doors.

"Merry….Pippin," I yelled I kneeled down in front of them and hugged them both.

"Alisa you have changed," Merry suddenly said.

"What do you mean," I asked.

"Your smiling, you never smile. Something grand must be happening," he laughed.

"Are you and the elf…you know," Pippin started to say but was interrupted by my laughter,

"Pippin….Merry I am so happy your back…"

I let the two hobbits go and I waited for Aragorn and Legolas. Even thought it had only been two weeks since they left me, I did miss them very much.

"What happened," I asked Aragorn.

"Isenguard has been destroyed," he said.

"Now what," I asked.

"We wait…"

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

"Tonight we remember those who gave their blood to defend this country," King Théoden said, I held up my goblet along with everyone else. "Hail the victorious dead"

"Hail," we all yelled then drank from the goblet. The feast seemed to last forever, I sat on a chair, watching Merry and Pippin dancing on a table.

"Oh you can search far and wide, you can drink the whole town dry…" there voices echoed throughout the room as they danced around on the tables. The people all around, men, women, and children, drinking laughing, but I could not. I spotted Legolas leaning against a wall with his hood up staring at me. I looked at him and then made my way outside of the Golden Hall

The stars where bright that night, the first day we were back, and the group was slowly getting back together. I felt Legolas stand next to me, looking out into the distance of Mordor.

"It is a still night," he said.

"Yes indeed it is," I said as I walked closer to the balcony. Aragorn had told me that we would wait for Gondor to call for aid. Would Gondor really do that?

"Alisa are you ok," Legolas asked.

"I was just thinking," I said.

"About what," he asked standing closer to me. His arm brushed against mine and it sent shivers down my spine.

"I was thinking of two weeks ago," I began, "when we almost kissed." I slowly turned around to face him and he looked directly into my eyes.

His hand came up to my face and touched my cheek gently. Then for the first time his lips touched mine. It was a soft kiss, his lips against mine so gently. Then as soon as it happened the kiss ended. He kissed my forehead and embraced me. Wait! What just happened? Did he just kiss me? This was not right. I pulled back suddenly.

"What is the matter," he asked me.

"I don't know," I said.

"I am sorry I kissed you, I shouldn't have," Legolas said, turning back to the balcony and looking out. His hands rested on the ledge. I walked next to him and placed my hand onto of his and smiled at him, letting him know everything was ok.

Then Aragorn appeared from the feast and stood next to Legolas and I. He glanced at my hand on Legolas hand.

"The stars are veiled." Legolas said to him. "Something stirs in the East...A sleepless malice" I looked at Legolas and then to Aragorn who looked worried.

"The Eye of the enemy is moving…" he said. We stood there in silence, Aragorn eyeing me slightly, trying to get an answer out of me. He had heard what Legolas had asked me.

"He is here!" Legolas yelled as he looked towards the door. He ran in, then Aragorn and I followed. We ran down the hallway to where we all would be sleeping. We ran into the room, and I saw Pippin on the floor with something in his hands.

"Help him! Someone help him!" Merry yelled. Aragorn snatched the thing from Pippin, he quickly fell to the ground in pain, Legolas ran over to help him as he dropped it and the ball went rolling.

"Aragorn, are you ok" I asked kneeling down next to him. Gandalf took a cloth and threw it over the ball.

"What is that," I asked Gandalf but he ignored me.

"Fool of a Took!" he yelled at Pippin as he ran over to him.

"Look at me." Gandalf yelled taking his hands and holding Pippin's face.

"Gandalf! Forgive me!" Pippin cried.

"Look at me. What did you see?" Gandalf yelled.

"Let him be, don't yell at him…" I yelled.

"Legolas get her out of here," Aragorn said. Legolas pulled on my arm and pulled me out of the door. Tears streamed down my face, as I walked down the hallway.

"Alisa…"

"Let me be," I yelled and ran down the hallway in the cool night. I didn't want to speak to anyone, even if it was Legolas. All I really wanted to do was go home; I wanted the war of Middle Earth to be over.
