I opened my eyes to see that I was in a bed. I looked down.

I had been changed into a white nightgown. I looked around the room to see that Gandalf was sitting next to me. "Welcome back to the world." He said with a chuckle. I smiled. "Gandalf, I thought something bad had happened to you." I said.

Gandalf smiled. "Well, not as bad as you." He said. I sighed. "Is Frodo ok?" I asked.

Gandalf smiled. "he woke up yesterday. And the meeting about the ring was held. A fellowship was formed, of which one of your friends Byron, is his name, has joined the fight. "I'm going." I said. Gandalf smiled. "I knew you were going to say that." He said.

"Very well, but first you must talk with Elrond and Aragorn." He said. "Who's Elrond and Aragorn?" I asked.

Gandalf smiled. "Elrond is the head of the elves. And Aragorn, you may know as Strider. Is the future king of Gondor." He said.

I gasped. "Strider…I mean Aragorn never told us." I said. Gandalf smiled. "Just like you and Byron won't tell what happened to you two, he kept his secret safe." He said. I nodded. "Can I get up?" I asked. Gandalf smiled.

"Let me send in a lady to help you change and then there will be a meeting before heading on our journey." He said. I nodded. Soon, an elf maiden came to help me change. However the dress had a lot of room in the front. I looked at the elf and spoke. "Why is it so big?" I asked.

The elf sighed. "All will be told in your meeting." She said. I nodded. Something weird was going on. I got dressed and put on my boots, which were quite comfortable. They were long and came up to my knees. I left the room and Gandalf was waiting outside. "Ahh dressed like a true warrior." He said.

I smiled. "Thank you Gandalf." I replied. We walked down the hall to a small gazebo outside. Elrond and Aragorn were there.

I was going to have to get used to calling him Aragorn. We walked in and Aragorn and Elrond bowed down. "Hello, Lady Lola. I'm glad your doing well." He said. I nodded. "Yes, thanks to you." I said.

Aragorn nodded and smiled. I turned to Elrond. "What is this meeting about?" I asked.

"Come, sit." He said and motioned for all of us to sit at a table. We all sat and looked at Elrond. "Lady Lola, the sorcery that has entramped you is dark magic. That of Sauron." He said. I gasped. "What does that mean?" I asked. "When the Nazgul cursed you, were you holding onto anyone?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yes, Aragorn had my hand and we were both stunned." I said. Elrond nodded. "I see." He said and looked at Gandalf. "What is it?" I asked.

Aragorn spoke. "What does this have to do with me?" he asked. Elrond sighed and turned to us.

"It seems that Saron has cursed lady lola with a pregnancy. It is of dark magic and the child will grow up to be evil, unless you break the spell by destroying the ring, and by choosing the path of Immortality." He said. I sighed and looked at Gandalf who spoke. "Lady Lola is already immortal, due to her parents that were lost to us." He said.

Elron sighed. "The spell can be broken, I'm just not sure how." He said. Aragorn sighed. "What does this have to do with me?" he asked again. Lord Elrond turned to Aragorn. "Since you were holding Lady Lola's hand it seems that you are the father of this child. The magic took and bonded you two. You have a short time before you must bond again and if you bond again, then the curse might be broken." He said.

Aragorn looked like he was going to throw up. "What does this bond mean?" he asked.

Elrond smiled. "It means you two must marry." He said. I gasped. I had always wanted to get married, but not like this. Great, I was a teen mom with no husband. Aragorn didn't want to marry me. I was a nobody. I was not going to be fit for the future king of Gondor. "Lord Elrond, Aragorn needs someone better than me. I'm in no way good enough for the future king of Gondor." I said. Aragorn looked at me for a moment and then turned to Elrond. "I will marry her, because I would not want Lady Lola's reputation to be ruined. She will need protecting." He said.

I looked at Aragorn. It was kind of him, but I could not ask this of him. " I don't want to put this burden on you." I said. Aragon sighed. "My lady, you are good enough for me. I know that within time, love may come, but we will raise this child together, and I'm sure we will find a way to break the curse." He said. I thought a moment. Here I had a really handsome man asking me to marry him, a baby on the way, and a journey ahead of us. I looked at Aragorn and smiled. "I accept." I said. Lord Elrond smiled. "I will make the arrangements. It's not proper for an unmarried pregnant woman travel without an escort. You will marry today." He said. I gasped. "Today! What's the rush?" I asked. Aragorn nodded.

"I would have to agree." He said. Elrond smiled. "You leave tomorrow, there is no time to waste." He said. Gandalf smiled. "Lady Lola, a word?" he asked. Lord Elrond pulled Aragorn away to talk as well. Gandalf sighed. "My lady, there is more." He said.

I looked at Gandalf. "What more could there possibly be?" I asked. Gandalf sighed. "The marriage must be real to Saron. You must consummate your marriage or Saron will know. He will use that against the two of you." He said. I sighed. "When?" I asked. "Within the month." He said. I nodded. "Is Elrond telling Aragorn?" I asked. Gandalf nodded. "Well, then I should pack and get ready to be married." I said. Gandalf smiled. "I have took the liberty of talking with Byron. He knows the truth, but the rest must not know. It must be as if this marriage was of love." He said.

I nodded. "Thank you Gandalf." I said and gave him a hug. He was so tall, I was like a mere child to him. I walked to my room and packed some clothes in my bag. I didn't know what else I would need, but I'm sure I could ask Aragorn. I walked out of the room with my pack and Lord Elrond was waiting. "It's time Lady Lola." He said. I nodded and followed him to the great hall. No one was there, except for Arwen and Aragorn. Gandalf followed me in and Lord Elrond stood at the head of the hall. I walked up and stood next to Aragorn. He smiled at me and nodded. Lord Elrond spoke.

"Today I will unite you as one. You two shall be shaped of the same sword of the same vine, of the same love." He said. I peeked a look at Aragorn to see him sigh. I felt bad for trapping him into this marriage. I would hope that he would not hold it against me. I looked back at Elrond and he continued the marriage. Soon, it was time for the rings. I turned to Aragorn and spoke my vow. "I vow to cherish you, honor you, and with this ring, I thee wed." I said.

Aragorn took my hand and placed the ring on my finger. "With this ring, I thee wed, I will Cherish and honor you and protect you till my dying breath." He said. I smiled. Aragorn smiled back. We turned to Elrond. "Your magic is strong." He said to me. "One day you will use it and it will bind you and your husband together even more." He said. I nodded. "With the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife." He said. "You may kiss your bride Lord Aragorn." He said. Aragorn and I turned to each other and he spoke. "May I?" he asked. I nodded. "Yes, you may." I said. Aragorn came down to my level and kissed me. I felt stars go down to my toes and back to the sky. We broke the kiss and smiled at each other. Gandalf smiled.

"I'm happy for you two, just remember that Middle Earth Marriages are for eternity. If one of you is unfaithful, the wrath of magic will come down upon you." He said. Aragorn and I nodded. "You must keep up appearances till you get to that point in your marriage." Said Gandalf. I nodded. Elrond spoke. You leave tomorrow, go, meet up with your fellowship." He said. Aragorn took my hand and led me to where the group was.
