-------------------------------------------------
Morning finally came over Middle Earth, the people of Rohan were waking up, and the world was also waking up. I walked to the balcony and saw Gandalf with Merry and Pippin walking to the stables. They quickly went inside, and within moments Gandalf and Pippin where on Shadowfax and rushed out of Rohan.
"No…Pippin," I yelled. I ran down the long steps yelling for Pippin. I had to talk to him one last time; I had to make sure he was alright. I ran into someone and they caught me from falling. They held onto me as I tried to get away, kicking and screaming. I had to talk to Pippin.
"No, Alisa, he is gone," Legolas said. I looked up at him, the one who was holding me back.
"No…Pippin…I have to talk to him,"
"They gone to Minas Tirith," he said.
"They are going to Gondor?" I asked.
"Yes, so are we, but not their way. We have another path to go," Legolas explained. He let me go and I stood in front of him. Many of the people who had stopped to look at me before had now gone on their way again.
"I am going home," I said, not really asking a question, more just saying it to myself.
--------------------------------
The dinner meal quickly came, but I sat alone in the hall, alone in a chair, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas were nowhere to be found.
"My lady….Alisa…" I heard a voice say. I broke out of thought and stared at the young hobbit across from me. "Mind if I sit with you?"
"Sure," I said, he sat down quickly and began to eat his meal. I didn't eat but just stared at him and watched the hobbit.
"Merry," I said stopping him from eating. He looked up but did not say anything. "What was it like?"
"What," he asked.
"What was it like with the Orcs, after I escaped," I said. He looked at me shocked, shocked that I had asked him.
"You probably would have died, being a girl and all; they might have done things you. But you would have been the last to go, since they needed you to get to Aragorn," he explained and then looked down at his meal. He looked disturbed I had brought back something so evil, something he had tried to forget.
I stood up and pushed my chair back and looked at the small hobbit. "I am sorry" Then I quickly left.
---------------------------------
I stepped outside as Aragorn ran past me not saying a word. I smelled his pipe smoke and knew he had been smoking again. Then I saw something in the distance, a fire burning on the mountains.
"It is a beacon," I heard Legolas say.
"I know what it is," I simply said not looking at him.
"Then why is it lit," he asked me, testing me. I paused for a moment and then gave up, and he knew it. "Gondor calls for aid."
"So what does that mean," I asked stepping closer to the balcony to see it better,
"We go to Gondor…"
-------------------------------
"So what am I going to do now Aragorn," I asked him.
"You can't go to Gondor they are in war," he explained "You will ride with us to the encampment." He explained. "After that you will ride back with Eowyn and wait for me to come get you at Rohan."
----------------------------------
I pulled my horse out of the stables, along with Legolas next to me. This time we would be riding separate horses.
"Have you decided yet," I heard someone ask me. Legolas had gone to talk to Aragorn and now I stood next to Gimli.
"Decided what Gimli?" I asked looking at him.
"To tell the elf of how you feel about him," he said.
"How do you know," I asked looking at Legolas and then Aragorn. Legolas glanced back at me and then looked away.
"Aragorn told me," he simply said.
"How does Aragorn know?" I asked.
"He saw you holding his hand," Gimli said.
"What do you think I should do?"
"Tell him, before it is too late," Gimli said and then walked away. Yes! I will tell Legolas of how I feel.
