Chapter Nineteen, The battle for the Hornburg

"You could have picked a better spot," Gimli grumbled as he stood between Boromir and Legolas, Neville and Luna to the left of him and Evelina surrounded by her mates, Legolas and Aragorn on either side of her and Haldir behind her. "We could describe it to you," Boromir offered, smirking. Neville bit his lip to stifle his chuckles.

"Or we could find you a box," Legolas finished. Gimli glared at the two before he burst out laughing. Aragorn walked up behind them to stand beside Eve, the rest of the elves were behind them with Haldir. "Whatever luck you live by," Gimli said to Aragorn, "let us hope it lasts the night."

"Your friends are with you Aragorn." Legolas told his friend.

"Let's hope they last the night." Gimli grumbled as his fist clenched around his axe. "Oh you will don't worry." Evelina smirked sharing a look with Neville and Luna. Aragorn smiled bitterly. "A Eruchîn, ú-dano i faelas a hyn an uben tanatha le faelas!"

"What's that mean?" Boromir asked.

"Show them no mercy," Legolas answered. "For you shall receive none."

"Dartho!" Aragorn yelled to the elves. An old man accidentally released his arrow. It hit an orc in the front.

Smirking Evelina, Neville and Luna set off their traps killing hundreds of Orcs as they stomped and cried in outrage only to stop and look about them cautiously as half their troop was blown up, only to be attacked by more traps and the two deadly plants. As the Orcs hacked at the plants hoping to stop them only for the plants to kill them faster. "And so it begins," Theoden muttered. He unsheathed his sword and held it at the side of his side. "Leithio i phillinn!" Aragorn yelled. The elves released their arrows. They rained down on the orcs. "Give them a volley," Theoden ordered. He thrust his sword forward in front of him.

"Fire!" Theodred shouted to his men. Sirius stepped up next to him and grabbed his hand. "Don't die, love," Theodred whispered. "Will Eve be alright?" He asked looking over to his daughter who was using her magic to kill orcs while hacking at some with her sword spinning around so graciously age looked like she was dancing. "I could say the same to you," Sirius grinned weakly. Theodred squeezed his hand. "I hope so. She's been in more than she should and more than I wish she had, after this she's staying out of all battles."

"Agreed." Thèodred muttered squeezing his husbands hand. "Fire!" Aragorn shouted again.

"I love you," Sirius said.

"I love you too," Theodred replied. He raised his swords as orcs began scaling the wall. Sirius knocked the ladder closest to them over. "Don't leave me," Theodred whispered before engaging an uruk-hai in battle. Sirius and Theodred stood back to back, fighting off the orcs.

"Pendraid!" Aragorn shouted. Elves began firing down the ladders, knocking off multiple uruk-hai at a time. Aragorn's eyes widened as he saw an uruk-hai with a flaming torch. "Na fennas!" he yelled. Elves began shooting the the uruk-hai.

"Legolas!" Evelina shrieked, pointing at the uruk-hai. Legolas took aim and fired. His arrow hit its mark, but it was too late. Aragorn, Neville, Boromir, and Evelina were thrown to the ground in front of the oncoming uruk-hai. "Brace the gate!" Theoden yelled. "Hold them!" Men and elves rushed forward.

"EVELINA!" Gimli, Legolas, Haldir, Sirius and Thèodred yelled. Sirius and Gimli jumping off the battlements as Legolas and Haldir went down the steps on a shield killing the Urukais as they went. "EVELINA!" Aragorn, Neville and Boromir shouted running over to her and helping her up off of the floor.

"Are you alright?" Aragorn asked frantically as he checked her over seeing she was covered in small cuts and bruises. "I'm fine. Neville the babies." Evelina said frantically her arms going to her stomach. Quickly Neville waved his hand and sighed in relief when the results showed they were fine. "Damn you, you idiot," Theodred cursed. He leapt over the battlement after his husband to where he was running frantically to their daughter with her other two mates and Gimli. Theoden's eyes widened in horror as he saw his son jump down only to widen further as he saw his granddaughter clutching her stomach.

"Sweetheart are you alright?" Sirius asked pulling her into his arms as soon as they'd reached her. "All four of them are fine." Luna assured everyone, she'd Apparated next to her friends to double check on her sister after Neville scanned her. Everyone let out a sigh of relief at that but they all shared a silent agreement that they'll keep a closer eye on her from now on as they joined back into the fray. "Hado i phillinn," Aragorn ordered the elves who had also fallen to the ground with them. "Herio!" Aragorn, Sirius, Theodred, Boromir, Luna, Neville, Evelina, Haldir, Legolas, Gimli and the elves charged into the uruk-hai army. They began hacking at the enemy.

"Aragorn! Lord Sirius! My Princess! My Prince!" Hama shouted. "Fall back to the Keep! Get your men out of their!" Aragorn nodded. Theodred grabbed Sirius and Evelina's arms and started pulling them away. Legolas and the others ran after them while some Elves grabbed hold of Gimli. Aragorn gasped when he saw where Haldir was surrounded by uruk-hais.

"Go!" Luna yelled as she ran by. "I'll get him!" Luna charged into the fray next to Haldir. "Na baraad! Na baraad! Na baraad, Haldir!" Haldir turned towards her voice and started running after her. He gasped as an uruk knife entered the small of his back. "No!" Luna shouted Evelina couldn't lose any one else it would destroy her. "Bombarda!" The uruk-hai were blasted backwards away from Haldir. Luna ran forwards and knelt down in front of him. Luna gently pulled the knife from Haldir's back. "Vulnera Sanentur," she hissed, pointing her hand at Haldir's wound. It immediately closed up. Luna helped Haldir up and back into the Keep. Haldir stumbled as the doors closed behind them.

"Haldir!" Evelina cried as she ran into her dazed mates arms wrapping her arms tightly around him as tears escaped her eyes. "Shhh, pen bain I'm fine Luna healed me. Don't cry." Haldir soothed wiping away her tears. He pulled back from her slightly to see a small cut on her cheek but she otherwise seemed unharmed. Legolas and Aragorn pulled Haldir into a tight hug as soon as Evelina released him. Neville and Boromir were next. "Brace the gate!" Gamling yelled.

"How long do you need, Father?" Theodred panted. He grabbed Sirius' shoulder for support. "Hold them!" Sirius yelled at the soldiers.

"As long as you can give me, my son," Theoden replied. Thèodred nodded. He, Sirius, Aragorn, and Gimli slipped through a side door. "It's a long way," Aragorn smirked at Gimli. The short dwarf would have trouble jumping the distance. Gimli looked around Aragorn and frowned. "Toss me," he grumbled. He scowled up at the man.

"What was that?" Aragorn asked, his smirk widening. He just couldn't believe the dwarf was admitting that. "Toss me," Gimli repeated. "I cannot jump the distance. Just don't tell the elf." He was struggling to admit that.

Sirius snorted as Aragorn tossed Gimli over the distance. He followed close behind him. Theodred took up the rear. "I'm so telling the elf," Sirius mumbled to himself. The soldiers quickly braced the gate. "Fall back!" Theoden yelled to his son and the others.

"Dad!" Evelina yelled from her position back on the battlements. She tossed a rope down. Sirius grabbed it and pulled Theodred to him. Sirius grabbed Theodred around the waist. Theodred wrapped his arms around Sirius' neck and buried his face in it. Aragorn grabbed the rope too. He pulled Gimli to him.

Legolas, Boromir, and Neville pulled the rope up, lifting the others up with a little difficulty. They could hear Evelina huffing up ahead as Haldir and Luna stood by her making sure no Uruks came near her and that she wouldn't try to help in pulling the others up. "Dad, Papa?!" Evelina asked hesitantly wringing her hands anxiously after she made sure Aragorn was alright. "We're find sweetheart." Thèodred said as he pulled her into his arms kissing her on the forehead as she slowly relaxed. "Into the Keep!" Hama ordered. Everyone ran inside. "The fortress is taken," Theoden groaned.

"It is over." He stood next to his son and son-in-law in front of his men. "You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it," Evelina growled. "They still defend have died defending it!" She grabbed Haldir's hand. "You can't give up now."

"Take the women and children through the mountain pass," Theodred ordered. Two young boys left to follow their prince's orders. "We must ride out and meet them."

"For death and glory," Theoden said. Sirius shook his head at the king, but it was Theodred who spoke.

"For Rohan and its people," he corrected. He swung his leg over Brego's back. Sirius slid up behind him. Evelina and Haldir climbed on a horse together. Neville, Legolas and Aragorn climbed onto a horse on their own. Luna and Boromir shared a horse. Gimli ran off to blow the horn. Theoden climbed onto his own horse. "The sun is rising," Gimli said, looking out the window. He stretched his head to see the window at the top of the wall. "Look for my coming at the dawn of the sixth day," Evelina repeated Gandalf's words. "Forth Eorlingas!" Theoden shouted. The riders charged forward into the midst of the oncoming uruk-hai.

"Rohirrim!" Eomer shouted from the distance of the forest. "To the king!" The Riders of Rohan charged forwards. "Eomer!" Theodred cheered. Eomer, Gandalf and the riders charged into the uruks, easily taking out half the army. The other uruk-hai rushed into the forest. "Victory!" Theoden yelled. "We have victory!" Evelina turned around and pulled Haldir into a heated kiss causing him to moan and wrap his arms around her waist, pulling back for air she called Aragorn and Legolas over to her and did the same to each of them.

This time only pulling back from Legolas when she heard her dad clearing his throat rather loudly. "Eve your Papa and I do not need to see that." Sirius grumbled as he pulled his daughter off of her horse and into his arms holding her tightly as he and Thèodred held her tightly once she'd been healed of all injuries.

The Company had just picked up Merry and Pippin once more where they found them sitting on a broken wall feasting and smoking at the edge of Isengard apparently under orders from Treebeard who's taken over management of Isengard. "Ahh young Master Gandalf, I'm glad you've come." Treebeard greeted as they rode up to the tower where they could see Saruman and Grima up on platform on the tower, it appeared they were the only two around but the four magicals from a different world knew different.

Evelina, Neville and Luna completely missed the confrontation between their group, Saruman and Grima where both men lost their lives. They were too busy keeping a watch on their surroundings they knew Bellatrix was close and she wasn't alone. As they got off their horses ignoring the calls from the others they put a magical barrier around them that could not be broken only with their death, but they wouldn't let it come to that. "I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black! You coming to get me! Itty, bitty, baby, Potter?!" A high pitched voice singsonged that seemed to wring all around them.

"Actually cousin you didn't." Sirius said smirking though his teeth were gritted and his wand was in hand ready to go into combat with his mad cousin to save his daughter once more only he couldn't get his horse to go past the golden barrier. "Evelina!" He shouted, he wasn't so much angry just worried what was going to happen to her Neville and Luna who were standing back to back in a triangle formation. They nodded to each other before they shot spells in all three directions trying to draw Bellatrix and her companions out.

It worked as three black spirals of smoke shot into the air, the three took after them in their own spiral of smoke but unlike the previous three their spirals were of pure bright light as they chased after the dark masses the others on the ground waiting anxiously for all they heard was Bellatrix's insane laugh. They didn't have to wait long as the dark masses finally remerged; Bellatrix on top of the tower, Fenrir Greyback to the left and Dolohov to the right. "How're you alive?" Bellatrix growled at Sirius.

"It seems all your time in Azkaban as ruined your aim." Sirius gloated only making Bellatrix more mad before more could be said Evelina, Neville and Luna appeared. Evelina on the tower with Bellatrix, Neville with Greyback and Luna with Dolohov wands at the ready as they went into a ferocious battle.
