(For the next few chapters it's going to be third person because it's easier but will be back to first person when it's goes to the Return of the King)
Third Person
Legolas stands alone, shooting at the wargs and their riders. The column of riders appears behind him. When Gimli's horse is near, Legolas swings himself up on the horse's back. Wargs and Rohirrim run towards each other, swords drawn. The warg riders and the Rohirrim crash at full speed. They fight. Many wargs and their riders are killed. Gimli falls of the horse and a riderless warg heads towards him.
"Bring your pretty face to my axe!" Gimli says
Legolas shoots the warg as it attacks, before Gimli has the chance to kill it himself.
"Argh! That one counts as mine!" Gimli exclaims
A dead warg lands on Gimli.
"Argh! Stinking creature. Argh!" Gimli complains
A rider appears over the dead warg. Gimli snaps the Orc's neck. Gimli tries to lift the creatures, but another warg crawls into view, growling. Aragorn throws a spear at the warg, killing it. The dead warg lands on Gimli. Théoden and Aragorn kill wargs and riders. A warg jumps on Aragorn, who falls of his horse. He jumps on to a warg and fights with its rider. Aragorn is hit by the orc and falls to the side.
His hand is caught in the harness of the warg, and he gets dragged along. He fights with the orc, throwing him off. The warg runs off a cliff, Aragorn falling with it. As the fighting dissipates, Legolas and Gimli look for Aragorn.
"Aragorn!" Legolas calls for his friend
"Aragorn?" Gimli calls as well, looking for him
Gimli spots a dying orc on the ground, laughing. He bends down and points his axe at it.
"Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing!" Gimli orders
"He's... (cough)... dead. (Laughs). He took a little tumble off the cliff." The orc says
Legolas grabs the orc.
"You lie!" Legolas snarls, angry and sad.
The orc laughs, blood bubbling in his mouth. He falls back dead. Legolas stands up but sees the Evenstar in the orc's hand. Legolas and Gimli approach the cliff and look down into the river below. Théoden approaches behind them.
"Get the wounded on horses. The wolves of Isengard will return." Théoden says "Leave the dead."
"Come." Théoden
The women and children approach Helm's Deep.
"Helm's Deep!" several of them say
The women and children enter Helm's Deep.
"Mama!" Freda says
The children find their mother and run to her arms.
"Freda! Freda!" Her mother says
Èowyn surveys the food.
"Where is the rest?" Èowyn asks
"This is all we could save, my lady." a man replies
"Take it to the caves." Èowyn orders
The riders return to Helm's Deep.
"Make way for the king! Make way for Théoden. Make way for the King!" a guard shouts
Èowyn hurries to meet them.
"So few. So few of you have returned." Èowyn says
"Our people are safe. We have paid for it with many lives." Théoden replies
Gimli walks to Èowyn.
"My lady..." Gimli addresses her
"Lord Aragorn, where is he?" Èowyn asks him
"He fell..." Gimli tells her
Èowyn is shocked and looks at Théoden in disbelief.
"Draw all our forces behind the wall. Bar the gate, and set a watch on the surround." Théoden says
"What of those who cannot fight my lord? The women and children?" a guard asks
"Get them into the caves. Saruman's arm would have grown long indeed if he thinks he can reach us here." Théoden replies
