(A/N this story takes place two weeks before the battle of Helms Deep. As well as during the battle itself. Demeter and her sister, Bombalurina, are transported from the junkyard to the home of the Lothlorien Elves. Just months after the Fellowship left there. Their only way home is through battles and wars.)

-The following character I own, Shanrin daughter of Haldir-Everybody else I don't own...If I did own the characters in this story. Haldir would be my bodygard.

And now...We begin our story beside the Silverlode River.

Where are we? Demeter thought looking around, last time she checked there weren't any trees in the junkyard. She saw a creek a few feet away, well more like a river, she then saw her sister Bombalurina laying next to her. "Bomba, wake up." Demeter said

"I'm up." Bomba said looking around she asked The Question. "Where the heck are we?"

"I don't think we are gonna see Munkus anytime soon." Demeter said standing up. "I think we should see if we can find somebody, anybody ."

"Good idea." Bomba said standing as well. "Lets go," she said.

"Haldir, Gladriel requests that you see her." An elf told Haldir.

"Very well." He said, "Daughter, keep praticing."

"Yes Father." Shanrin said turning back to the target and fireing another arrow. it hit below the bullseye.

"Sir, She wishs to see both of you." the elf said.

"So be it then let us go to see her." Haldir told the elf herald.

Within the hour both Haldir and his Daughter, Shanrin, learned the news. Someone had gotten past the gards set at the bondries of Lothlorien. Worst yet, there were two heading away from the river into the Golden Wood.

"Haldir, you are to watch the two beings." He had been told. "After you see they mean no harm bring them to stand before me."

"Yes Mi'lady." Haldir said.

They had been watching the two strangers. From what the elves could see, the strangers were female. Tall about the hight of an elf. And also very quiet in passing, like the elves watching.

"We've been walking an hour and still no end to these trees." Bomba complained.

"Yeah, nobody in eyeshot either." Demeter said sitting with her back against a tree.

"Sit on the ground if you want." Bomba told her sister. "I'm gonna climb up and find a branch to sit on."

"Your funeral." Demeter smirked.

"Haha." Bomba went up the tree. "Whoa!"

"What do you see?" Demeter asked.

"An arrow head." Bomba replied.

"An arrow head?" Demeter turned around and stared down an arrow shaft. "Whoa-ooff." Bomba yelled falling out of the tree next to Demeter. "Don't shove." Bomba yelled to the elf in the tree.

Demeter just stared down the arrow shaft.

"Who are you?" Haldir asked.

"My name is Demeter, this is my sister Bombalurina." Demeter said still staring down the arrow shaft.

"Where did you come from?" Shanrin asked her.

"London." Bomba said.

"That city is unknown to me." Haldir said.

"Oh. Well, that's good to know." Bomba said causeing the elf next to her to put his arrow at her neck. "If you want me to shut up, I'll shut up." Bomba said, "but if you want me to talk. I'll talk."

"I don't think that it's a good idea to flip these guys off." Demeter said into her sisters ear.

"OK I'll try to remember that." Bomba said giving the elf a look that could melt marble.

"Le-thian lo-twni" Haldir told the elf who lowered his bow from Bomba's neck. "Next time you wanna shoot me, I'll take a rain check." Bomba said. The elf just looked at her.

"We have seen nothing like you." Haldir said, "What do you call your kind?"

"Jellicles." Demeter said.

"As in...Orcs?" Shanrin said.

"What are Orcs?" Bomba asked.

"Come with us." Haldir said. "The Lady wishs to speak with you."

The who? Demeter thought.

"Where are they taking us." Bomba wispered into Demeter's ear.

"I don't know." Demeter wispered back. "Try not to flip-off any more people we meet OK?" Demeter asked her.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on getting shot, so I'l let you do the talking." Bomba said.

"Thanks loads." Demeter said, I'm gonna get us killed when all we want is to-? "Did you say something?" Demeter asked Bomba.

"No...I was gonna ask you the same." Bomba looked at the elves leading them deeper into the wood. What in the name of the Dark cat is going on? Demeter thought as the group entered the rleam of Gladriel Lady of Light.
