Hi everyone, sorry it's taken me so long to post this up. I had a ton of corrections to do, and no free time to do it in. Anything you see wrong here, feel free to point out, I will try to fix as much as I can. Enjoy the next part of the story.
Chapter One- Three Days
Three days later. Eve's eyes were red. They had been that way for ten minutes.
"What can you hear?" Gimli asked.
"Pippin is calling for Merry." Eve said in that multi-tone voice. Her eyes went back to normal.
"That's all I can hear." She said her voice normal too. Aragorn had an ear to the rocks.
"Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent. Hurry!" Aragorn said standing up.
"Come on, Gimli!" Legolas said.
"Three days and nights pursuit. No food. No rest. And no sign of our quarry, but what a vampire, and bear rock can tell." Gimli whined.
"Don't start now Gimli, it's just getting fun." Eve laughed as she ran. Aragorn stopped and picked something up.
"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall." Aragorn said.
"They may yet be alive." Legolas said.
"Less than a day ahead of us. Come." Aragorn said. Gimli tumbled down the rocks.
"Come, Gimli! We're gaining on them!" Legolas yelled.
"I'm wasted on cross-country. We Dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances." Gimli yelled.
"Then let me help." Eve said tossing Gimli on her back and took off.
"Put me down." Gimli yelled. Legolas and Aragorn stopped. So did Eve, letting Gimli fall to the ground.
"Rohan. Home of the Horse-lords. There's something strange at work here. Some evil gives speed to these creatures. Sets its will against us." Aragorn said.
Legolas ran ahead.
"Legolas, Eve what do your Elf-eyes see?" Aragorn asked.
"The Uruks turn northeast." Eve said.
"They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard." Legolas called.
"Saruman." Aragorn said. Eve gasped as her eyes turned red.
"Saruman." Eve breathed.
"What do you hear?" Aragorn asked. "'The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two tower? Together my Lord Sauron we shall rule this Middle-earth.'" Eve said in the multi-tone voice. Her eyes went back to normal and she swayed.
"Are you all right to go on?" Aragorn asked.
"Get me my bag then we'll talk." Eve whispered. Legolas handed her the bag. She took out a bottle and took a sip and put it back.
"Are you ok?" Aragorn asked again.
"Yes." Eve said with a smile. They ran on.
"Keep breathing That's the key. Breath." Gimli said breathless.
"No need." Eve said picking him up again. This time he did not fuss.
"They've run as if the very whips of their masters are behind them." Legolas said as they ran. As the sun set Eve's eyes turned red so she could see.
"This way! Don't fall." She called. They ran guided by Eve.
