So far I'm getting the feeling that you all want Legolas. Well I just put a poll up on my profile to help me stay on track with all the "votes".
Legolas- 3 Haleth (Hama's son)- 1 Elladan/Elrohir- 1
Shout outs to: LOTR Geek- I'm so glad you liked it!
Certh: Hm. The reason is that they picked her up is that he wanted to check that she wasn't a threat. And thanks for the advice!
breneke87: Thank you for telling me your choice! It's definitely appreciated!
Thing surrounded by –means it's her thoughts! -
Riders of Rohan
Eryyn was vaguely aware of her surroundings. She knew that Aragorn was carrying her. She knew (somehow) that she was safe as long as she remained with these three odd males. When Aragorn crouched and gently placed her on the ground she fully woke up.
"Ugh. My head aches." She moaned quietly and pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head in her hands. The ground started to vibrate.
"What the- oomph!" Aragorn covered her mouth and draped his cloak over her shoulders.
"Cover your clothes with it Eryyn and whatever happens do not talk." She nodded and looked at him as if to say –get your hand off my mouth already! - He did and peered out of their cluster of boulders.
Eryyn watched groggily as a large group of men on horse back past them. After they where gone Aragorn strode out and called. Legolas pulled her to her feet and supported her as she stumbled into the open, Gimli following.
"Riders of Rohan, what news from the Mark?" The Riders at a signal from their leader they whirled around and headed back. Eryyn shrank back against Legolas as they where surrounded. She kept making sure ever inch of her clothes were hidden.
"What business does two Elves, a Man, and Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!" Eryyn watched the men from under the shade of the hood. Then she realized she actually had no idea what they where doing in… Rohan was it? Where was that?
"Give me your name Horsemaster and I shall give you mine." Eryyn's eyes widened.
-Really Gimli? Are you trying to get us killed? - She watched as the man jumped off his horse and approached Gimli.
"I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground." Faster than she could see Legolas had an arrow pointed at the man.
"You would die before your stroke fell!" Eryyn snorted in amusement even as the spears pointed at them tightened in. One of the spears gently moves forward and pushes the hood off her head. She hurriedly bit her lip in worry. She hears an almost strangled word, which is repeated more understandably.
"ERYYN!" She gasps. She knew that voice anywhere!
"Fletcher!" She watched frozen as a shape hurled itself off and horse and barreled towards her. Aragorn made to stop him, but the look of joy on Eryyn's face stopped him. Eryyn shrieked as Fletcher, her best friend, picked her up and hugged her hard. Her hug was just as eager, happy, as she was to see on familiar face. She pulled back and swiftly poked him hard in the cheek.
"What was that for?"
"I was making sure you where real."
"Why, cuz my hug wasn't enough proof anyway?" She shook her head violently, whipping Fletcher with the strands of her hair.
"Nope of course not!" Fletcher laughed, but Eryyn shushed him listening in on the conversation they were missing.
"But there where two hobbits. Did you see two hobbits with them?" Gimli sounded panicked. The man. "Eomer." Fletcher whispered in her ear.
"They would be small- only children to your eyes." Aragorn sounded steady enough.
"We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them." Eryyn was having a hard time figuring out what was going on, without the mention of burning.
"Dead?" Gimli sounds on the verge of tears. Eryyn moves forward and clasps his shoulder. He glances at her gratefully then turns back to Eomer.
"Hasufel, Arod!" Eryyn watches amazed as two horses trot forward at the call. "May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters. Farewell." He moves to get on his horse, but Fletcher comes forward.
"My Lord, here is where we part." Fletcher nodded his head and whistled for his horse. Eomer nodded. Eryyn blinked quickly and turned to Eomer.
"Do not fear, Eomer of Rohan." Then she turned to Fletcher and he calmly noted that her eyes were suddenly red instead of the pale blue they usually where. "Your fates are still intertwined. You shall meet again." Everyone stared at the young Elf (they thought) in astonishment. She suddenly blinked again and her eyes where back to ice blue. She looked around nervously. Fletcher opened his mouth, but she held up a hand.
"Just don't even ask. I have no idea." Fletcher shrugged and shut his mouth. Eomer looked cautious but mounted his horse and nodded to Aragorn and Fletcher.
"Look for your friends. But do not trust to hope, it has forsaken these lands." Eryyn turned to Fletcher and frowned up at him.
"You have some explaining to do, mister." He laughed and helped her onto his horse.
"So you do, Wyyn. So do you." He wheeled his horse about As Wyyn called out to Aragorn.
"So who are these friends of yours? And for goodness sake how did they get mixed in with you?" Fletcher let loose a laugh, unable to help it. Sarcasm was one of the things why he was friends with Wyyn. They both listened to Aragorn's story (with input from Legolas and Gimli) as they rode toward the large smokestack.
So some of these chapter might be short, but I am going to be mostly just keeping to the actual scenes from the movie (extended version, derp!) and they will have the same names as the scene even if it doesn't quiet make sense. Remember vote on my poll for Eryyn's Love interest!
