Chapter 2: Not going to end well

Chapter 2

Ahanna P.O.V

"Hmmm," He hummed just loud enough for me to hear. "We have done enough for today, let us camp here tonight. Tomorrow we shall continue on." The mysterious man said to his fellow companions .

'Oh god no,' was my immediate reaction to this. They could not stay here. This was MY place. Well at this moment it was. I closed my eyes in frustration. I need a solution. If I just pop down there and show up, they will think of me as an enemy and kill me right on the spot. Finally after a couple of minutes, I made my decision. I will just hide until they are fast asleep and when they are, I'll sneak away and go to my original plan. Hopefully they would not take too long falling asleep.

"Aragorn, we should leave."I heard someone say. It was the elf, speaking in his native tongue. I smirked. Being on the run, I picked up few things including elvish.

"What is it Legolas, is it orcs?" The man questioned. Now I knew both of their names. I don't know how usefully that would be, but it was better than nothing.

"No, it's not a foul smell, I feel another presence." The blond elf Legolas began, "but I am not quite sure what it is."

He could smell my scent. But as long as he didn't see me, I am ok… for now.

"Relax my friend. If there is anything serious we will be ready," Aragorn said while giving his dear friend a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. The elf nodded and went back to his spot. I was not sure what 'ready' meant but I knew it would not be a welcoming party.

I have waited three hours so far and they finally drifted off to sleep. I have to admit, it wasn't boring watching them. They were quite entertaining, especially the Halflings. There were full of humor especially the one named Pippin. He would talk a lot. Maybe a little too much. Someone always had to tell him to be quiet. Eventually I found out all of their names. The elf who was named Legolas always seemed tense and was careful of everything he did or spoke as if he knew I was above and watching them. Aragorn would smoke his pipe or take a small chat with Legolas or the old man whom I found out was a wizard. Gandalf the Grey he was called. It was pretty catchy if you think about it. Gandalf seemed very wise and he always spoke in riddles, which I was quite fond of. It gave him more character and made you like him.

Then there was the captain of Gondor. He would occasionally boast about his homeland or about his kin. I heard great stories of old about the land of Gondor, but heard the rule was fading for they now had no king. I always wondered what happened to the king; I assumed he was murdered, along with his family.

Lastly were the Halflings and the dwarf. The dwarf named Gimli would always mumble something in dwarfish or cursed the elf which I found pretty hilarious. I had know about the the dislike between Elves and Dwarfs and here they were traveling together! For whatever reason was still unknown to me.

The Halflings Pippin and Merry were like twins. Always would be by each other. I could already tell they were full of mischief. Their eyes gave it away; I remember when my mother always knew I was up to something because she could see the mischief in my eyes. Sam was a pudgy little Halfling who was very polite and did most of the cooking. He was so adorable. The last Halfling was named Frodo. He always looked troubled, I wondered why. He probably would be very cute with a smile instead of his troubled look.

Now I thought, time for the hard part. I had to get out without getting noticed or heard from the elf. The Gondorain was on watch, when he wasn't looking my direction I grabbed my belongings which were full of daggers and one sleeping roll and started to climb down carefully. When my feet touch the soft earth, something caught my attention, Orcs.

Orcs were close by and I could already smell their foul smell. I looked at the sleeping company. Should I warn them? But if I stayed here any longer I could lose my chance to get away. I looked at the moon; I had less than an hour left.

I growled in frustration, which was a mistake. The elf shot right up so quickly I froze not knowing what to do.

"Orcs," he said as he quickly grabbed his bow and arrow while Boromir woke up the others.

"What is it Legolas?" Aragon asked quickly as he got up onto his feet.

"Orcs," he hissed again. "I can't tell how many there are."

Aragorn nodded. Everyone was in a line waiting to attack, beside the Halfling which were hiding behind some bushes. Legolas lets some arrows go. I knew they hit his target because I could hear their screams as they got hit. The orcs came closer and just rushed in. Boromir and Aragorn were fighting with their swords, Legolas was using his bow and arrows, Gimli was using an axe and throwing in an occasional insult, while Gandalf was using his staff. I looked over to the Halflings, only to see an orc trying to sneak on them.

'Not on my watch' I thought. I grabbed my dagger from my pack and threw it directly at the orc. The dagger hit the orc dead center of its forehead and the orc fell. Without thinking, I ran to the Halflings.

"Are you okay?" I said and smiled slightly as each one of them nodded. "Good," I continued on. "Does anyone have a blade I could use?"

It took them a minute to responded to me and I could tell why. They were thinking of weather to trust me, after all I could be one of the enemy.

"Come on now, your friends are in danger and I need to help." I said impatiently. One of the Halflings nodded quickly and gave me a small, short blade.

"Here you go miss," I nodded him as a thank you and leapt over the bush. I looked around, they had everything in control. My eyes then landed on Captian Boromir, he looked like he needed help. I ran to him and stabbed an orc that was going to stab him from the behind. Boromir turned around and nodded his head as a thank you.

Several minutes past and the number of orcs were dying down. I had orc blood on my sleeves, but I didn't care. Once again I looked at the company to see if anyone needed assistance but they didn't, so I went back to the Halflings.

I handed their blade back to them and I murmured a thank you, I turned to leave but something stopped me. I turned around to see a hand around my wrist. The owner of the hand was Frodo. "Yes?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"Who are you?" Frodo asked and I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face. I was about to respond when pain surged throughout my whole body. I fell to my knees.

"Miss, are you alright?" I heard a voice say; as a response to the question I groaned. My eyes were already watering from the excruciating pain that just kept building stronger. I wrapped my arms around my abdomens. I forced my eyes to open and looked at the moon. It was full! How long was I out here? I closed my eyes shut and as I did tears fell out.

"My lady, are you alright? Did the orcs injure you?" I opened my eyes. It was Boromir. Everyone was crowded around me. No... They needed to get away! I tried to warn them but the pain seemed to have taken away my voice. I couldn't speak. And I knew this was not going to end well.
