Poof double poof- Thanks a lot for reviewing and for giving me the idea of Sunglee's injuring :D When your story is up, I'll be from the first ones who'll read and review it.

Seagle87- I'm glad you liked it, here's the new chapter.

Disclaimer: I only own the characters I create, not LOTR. (Legolas: The only reason I'm not killing you is the fact that you're a woman! I warn you, cure Sunglee! Me: Seriously, did you really think I would kill my OC?)

The Mirkwood prince felt his heart filling with relief when he saw the gates of Helms Deep. Sunglee in front of him was leaning on Arod, who was galloping with all his speed. The she-elf was still unconscious, but her pulse was there. Legolas was looking for it almost every minute, praying it would last. The other soldiers were behind him.

'We are here, Sunglee' he whispered in her ear. 'Now you will be alright'

Eowyn was walking up and down in the gates. When she heard the hooves, she turned towards him and her eyes widened.

'Prince Legolas? What happened? Who is that?'

'Sunglee is seriously injured!' Legolas answered in haste. 'We have to take her to the Healing Houses!'

'Sunglee' Eowyn gasped, worried for her friend. But then she kept her temper and helped the Elf to carry Sunglee to the Healing Houses, where they laid her on a bed. Two healers approached them at once. Legolas and Eowyn went outside again to let them examine her. At that moment Theoden and the others arrived.

'So few. So few of you have returned' she commented.

'Our people are safe' her uncle replied. 'We have paid for it with many lives'

Gimli went next to them, while Theoden was already walking up the steps. Only then Eowyn realized that someone was missing.

'Lord Aragorn. Where is he?' she asked afraid and Gimli bowed his head.

'He fell' he said mournfully.

Eowyn looked at him with shock and tears appeared in her eyes. The Dwarf was sorry for her and decided to change the subject.

'How is Sunglee?'

'She is in the Healing Houses' Legolas informed him. 'The healers are with her. The only thing we can do is hope'

'I will go to assist them' Eowyn said, wiping away her tears. 'I am sure she needs my help. Once I have news, I will let you know, I promise'

'I want to be by her side as well' Legolas said immediately, his eyes begging her. Eowyn smiled at him.

'I understand, but it will not be good for you, for she is seriously injured. And although she is unconscious, I am sure she will feel your fear and it will not help her. Besides, you need to rest'

She was talking to him as if he was a little child and she the mother who was protecting him. Unwillingly, but knowing she was right, he nodded. Eowyn patted his shoulder to give him a sense of comfort and ran back to the Healing Houses, while Legolas and Gimli sat down on a bench.

'Ah, she will make it!' Gimli's voice sounded confident. 'She is a strong lass. Besides, do you think she will give you up so easily?'

Legolas did not answer. He only stared at the ground, his head buried in his hands.

Sunglee had the impression of sinking in the depths of a sea where it was hot and cold at the same time. Black and red spots were dancing in front of her eyes and a terrible pain was killing her. She wanted to scream, to beg the pain to stop, but no sound could escape her mouth.

Images of the people she loved appeared in front of her. Her father, always there since she could remember herself, with the kind and caring smile. Her sister was far away, she could barely see her. 'Arwen, do not leave' she tried to speak, but again her voice was stuck. Then Legolas, smiling, promising they would always be together, whatever would happen. His sight calmed her and she took a deep breath. But then the sea pulled her into its depths again. From a distance, as if it was in a dream, she thought she heard another voice.

'We are losing her! Quickly, give me more herbs, we must lessen the fever!'

Weird, the voice was very similar with her good friend Eowyn's. And she was sounding very scared. Sunglee felt a sudden desire to laugh.

You are losing me? Why are you making this thought? You are not losing me, you will never lose me, I will always stay here. I have a quest to end.

The pain torturing her was reduced and she took another deep breath. The spots disappeared as well and now she could only see the darkness. But there was a soft light keeping her company.

'We saved her' she heard Eowyn's voice.

She had no idea how long she was in this situation. Minutes? Hours? Days? She could not know. The only thing she knew was that something had happened, something that had caused this pain and Eowyn's fear. She wanted to open her eyes to show her she was not dead, but she was feeling numb and her body was not obeying her. Finally, she gained all her strength and opened them.

The first thing she saw was Eowyn kneeling next to her. The place was unknown to her. She could feel she was laying on a bed.

Helms Deep. We came, she thought.

'Welcome back, Sunglee' Eowyn greeted her smiling widely and hugged her very carefully. 'How are you feeling?'

Sunglee returned the smile and looked around. Two healers stood next to Eowyn, happy to see her alive.

'I am well, only a bit tired' she confessed.

'That is natural, you have a bad adventure behind you. You were wounded seriously during your attack by the Wargs and for one moment I thought you would die. You were unconscious for three hours' Eowyn told her. 'You must thank your elven nature, such a wound would kill a human almost instantly'

Legolas was walking up and down in front of the Healing Houses, looking at the door every time he turned. He could not understand what was going on. Nobody had come outside to inform him if Sunglee was alright.

'Relax and sit down, Master Elf' Gimli advised him. 'You will collapse otherwise'

'Three hours have passed and we have no news' was Legolas's answer. 'I am afraid, Gimli. I am afraid that something bad happened and Eowyn does not know how to tell me'

'Seriously, Legolas, I had thought you were smarter' Gimli sighed. 'I am sure that if there were any news, Eowyn would inform us at once. She knows how much you love Sunglee and the agony you feel now'

Before he could end his sentence, the door opened and Eowyn approached them. She was pale and seemed exhausted. But when the two men looked towards her she smiled.

'She is alright. We could close the wound the Warg caused her and gave her herbs to reduce the pain and the fever. For one moment we almost lost her, but then we saved her. She is very strong'

'She..She is well?' stuttered Legolas, tears of joy sparkling in his eyes. Eowyn laughed at his reaction.

'Yes, she woke up a few minutes ago. She is only very weak. I told her to rest, but she insisted on standing up. I tried to make her change her mind, but you know her stubbornness'

Legolas laughed at her last words and Gimli started laughing hysterically.

'I told you everything would go well, lad!'

'May I see her?' Legolas asked the princess of Rohan.

'Of course you may. She is asking for you. Since she does not want to rest, take her for a walk on the walls, the fresh air will help her'

'Thank you. Thank you for everything' Legolas said sincerely. 'You have my gratitude'

He rushed into the Healing Houses and found Sunglee at once. She was leaning her back on the wall, still very pale, but alright. When she saw him, she smiled.

'Legolas…' she mumbled.

Legolas ran and hugged her as tightly he could, crying from joy that she was alive and well. Sunglee hugged him back, wanting only to be in his arms, to realize that she would not leave this world. Despite her thoughts when she was unconscious, when Eowyn told her everything, a fear had packed her. What would happen if she would die?

'I was so scared' she whispered. 'The pain did not stop'

Legolas pulled away and kissed her, with his love for this maiden overwhelming him again. He had felt guilty, because he had promised her that he would not let anyone to harm her. But there she was, out of danger and ready to move on.

'Do not think about it, Sunglee, it is over. I was afraid as well, I did not know what I would do if I would lose you'

They hugged each other again and stayed like this for a few moments, feeling away from everyone and everything. Suddenly, Sunglee remembered something Eowyn had told her.

'Legolas…When I woke up, Eowyn told me that Aragorn fell from a cliff. Is it…Is it true?'

'Yes, my love' Legolas replied sadly. 'I am afraid it is true'

A loud sob was heard from her and her shoulders started shaking under Legolas's arms. Sunglee could not believe it. She knew Aragorn since she was little, he was there for her, he had saved her life. Legolas stroke her back to console her.

'Do not cry, Sunglee, do not cry, you have to stay calm. I am very sad as well, but we will face it together, will we not?'

Sunglee nodded in his arms. She now understood how unpredictable life was. Someone could be healthy and strong, but he could die at any moment. She thought about Arwen, her sister, who was leaving Middle Earth. Now that Aragorn was dead, her sister's departure, although painful, was not a bad idea anymore, for that way Arwen would never learn that the man she loved was dead. In the beautiful Undying Lands she would remember him and she would hope that he was well and happy and she would never feel the sorrow the death of a loved one would cause.

A/N: Ok, mellon nins, another chapter has come to end and everything is alright. In the next chapter, Aragorn will come again, with the news that Uruk-hai are approaching.
