Alix: Yes Helms Deep is coming up, and Mathew is introduced in the chapter.

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

Helm's Deep came into view for Allison. They galloped through the front gate and Allison jumped off of her horse as quickly as possible. Legolas next to her.

"He has to be in the keep," she yelled. She took off running through the people. Finally she came to the keep and through open the doors. All eyes were on her.

"Allison!" she heard her brother yell. She ran to her brother, who picked her up and spun her in the air.

"Mathew I am so happy to see you." She cried. "I went to Parham, everything is gone."

"I know," he said setting her down. He was taller than her by a lot; he wore his red and white robes, his crown on his head.

"Mathew this is Prince Legolas," she said. Legolas who was behind her came forward and shook his hand. They didn't say anything to each other.

"Ok," Allison said walking in-between. "What is the matter between you to?"

"He caused all that pain about your people," Legolas said.

"He didn't come to the aid of Parham," Mathew argued back.

"You're acting like children. Mathew where are the people?"

"They are on the east side of Helms Deep…"

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

Legolas followed next to Allison as she walked to the east side of Helms Deep. Her people came into view. So little of her people were around.

"Queen Allison," someone yelled. Allison turned to see Mathew's wife running towards her

"Lorine" Allison yelled hugging the young women. "How is the baby?"

"We are both ok." She said.

"Lorine is this all of the people," she looked around only seeing half of her people. "Only half made it?"

"I am afraid so. Listen Allison, Thomas has escaped from the dungeons. Men are out looking for him."

"What?" she said. Tears began to fill up in her eyes. Only half of her people made it.

"Queen Allison," Lorine said. Allison walked away tears in her eyes. She couldn't let her people see her crying.

"Who is Thomas?" Legolas asked.

"He is a man who abuses and rapes women. He was in our dungeons." Allison explained.

"You need to rest Allison," Legolas said. He brought her to a room where she could lay down. "I will be back to check on you. I am going to go talk to the king.'

"Ok" Allison said. "Say hi to Aragorn for me when he arrives." Legolas turned around and smiled at Allison. She was a good queen.

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

Allison woke up and it was already dark out. The army would be coming tomorrow. The fight would begin. Allison sat up and put her crown on her head. She was going to search for her brother. She walked out of the room and suddenly was pushed against the wall. She looked into the eyes of Thomas.

"You think you really could lock me in the dungeon forever." He said pinning her arms against the wall. She couldn't get away he was stronger than her.

"I am going to finish what I started." He hissed at her. Allison pushed him away and began to run down the hallway.

"Help me!" she screamed. Just then Thomas came up and knocked her to the ground. He jumped up onto of her and a grin fell upon his face.

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

"I had sent two letters with him," Mathew yelled. Aragorn, who had now arrived back at Helms Deep, King Théoden and Legolas, stood in the keep. The Uruks would be there by next night fall, Helm's Deep would have to fight.

"Haldir made that suggestion to her in Lorien," Aragorn said.

"I hid one of the letters with Kyle incase he got attacked by orcs. I wouldn't want the orcs to know where we went."

"Well Kyle only gave her one letter," Aragorn said. "This makes her think you are not that bright." Laughter erupted from Mathew.

"I know she always says that," he said.

"Help Me!" they heard someone yell.

"It is Allison," Legolas said and they all took off running in the direction of the yell. Legolas saw a man on top of Allison and pulled him off. He threw the man against the wall and hit in across his face. Thomas ended up being held by Aragorn and Mathew while Legolas helped her up.

"Take him away," King Théoden said. Legolas picked Allison up and brought her to her room, picking up her crown on the way. He gently set her on her bed. She wouldn't look at him, how could she let this happen again?

"Allison are you ok?"

"I am fine," she whispered.

"Was that Thomas?"

"Yes, I had found Thomas a few years ago and we took him in into Parham. He was a very good fighter and soon he became command of the army. One day Mathew went to Rohan to talk to the king and I stayed in Parham. Right after Mathew left Thomas started stalking me and one day he came into my room. He was to strong; I couldn't get him off…." She began to cry, tears streaming down her face.

"It is ok," Legolas said taking the girl into his arms.

"Legolas he raped me that night…I am not a good Queen. How could I let that happen?"

"No Allison," Legolas said. "You are a great queen. You could not stop what happened." Allison stood up wiping the tears from her eyes. She took the crown on the table and placed it on her head. She was a Queen. She had to be a strong Queen for her people.

"Well the battle for Helm's Deep will start…"
