Elemental Good and Elemental Evil
Lou's PoV
AN: Hey Guys! Is Clara-Lou! I hope you liked Nic's first Chapter. She worked really hard, we spent to lunch times trying to figure out how to write this story. This Chapter I wrote in Maths. Year 8 Level One Ratio can be so boring. ^_^. Enjoy and remember..........Tolkien is a state of mind.......not a state of being! Sayonara!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I landed with a loud thud. "Umph!" I sat up rubbing my back. It really hurt to land or should I say fall onto solid ground from such a great height. An identical thud sounded next to me. Then a loud moan. I stood up and observed our surroundings. The trees loomed high and ancient, roots riddled the ground, writhing like snakes. It almost seemed as if the land was truely alive and it knew we weren't supposed to be here. "Hmmm" I muttered. "No Toto, no Dorothy and no Scarecrow,Tin Man or Lion. It's definatley not my "Wizard of Oz" dream again." I watched Nicole as she tossed and turned, crinkling her school uniform in the process. " I think its safe to say we aren't in Kansas any more, infact I don't think Kansas even exists here." I picked my backpack up from the dust. "Now the question is, where are we?"
Nic groaned and opened her eyes. Startled I turned. "You do realise I blame you for this don't you?" She looked at me startled. "Huh?" I frantically made gestures in the air. "This!!!!! Those Wind and Water "guardians" they wanted us to come here.......I'm sorry, its just.....wait a minute." Something caught my eye. A stone fortress carved into a mountain, it was only now that I recognised why it seemed so familiar. Ancient figures made of stone broken and cracked aranged themselves in a circle. It hit me at full force like a flood. Nic looked at me, realisation dawning in her eyes too. "The Watch Tower"
Tolkien,Tolkien,Tolkien. We were in his world. That's where the "guardians" had sent us. I pulled an old copy from my battered backpack. "Nicole, you are lucky that I'm such a book geek. I've had this book on reserve for months and it only came back today! Thank our lucky stars!" Nic looked at me sceptically. "Luck? I'd say fortunate conincidence" I rolled my eyes. "You're such a sceptic and cynic did you know that?" Nicole glowered. "I'm not either of those things, if this is real then I'll be estatic! I'll get to meet Legolas!" Nic sighed dreamily and I laughed. "Its all fine and dandy for you maybe but I want to go on the adventure." She shook her head. "Lets don't get our hopes high huh? Lets just make our way to the Watch Tower so we can see where we are. Hopefully that book in your bag has a map of the country side so we know where to go" I nodded. I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed up the slight hill. "Come on Nic! We have to get up there. I don't fancy being stuck in this forrest, especially if there are Orcs about." Nic nodded and we hastily climbed the hill then stood awed at the sight of the mountain before us. "I hope we can make it" I whispered.
The mountain was almost determined to beat us so we wouldn't make it to the top. It was like it was guarding a secret at the top that needed to be protected and I had a really good idea what that secret was. Nic staggered tripping over some muddy protuding roots. I closed my eyes and focused. "Water" I hummed. It seemed to vibrate through my body. That one word that when said by me held so much power. Sometimes I didn't have to say the word, sometimes my emotions just set it off. Water poured over the ground. It seeped into the trees giving them life. The trees began to blossom and the blossoms turned to fruit. Nic picked a pear and nibbled. "Thanks Lou" she said. "I'm still starving, I was going to die if I didn't eat" I nodded and smiled. "Dry the ground when you're done, that will help you to get a grip on the ground, it won't be as slippery" She growled. "I'm not an idiot" she said eating some more food. "You may not be an idiot, but its easy to see who is the brains of this operation" She scowled and I laughed. "Hurry up Nic, we've got to get there before night fall" I looked at my watch, which by some miracle was still working. "Its going to be night fall in an hour! Nic come on! The Black Riders remember!" Nic's eyes opened wide "What are you waiting for Lou? Lead the way!"
The Watch Tower was only a meter and a half above us and what was frustrating was that I couldn't reach it! I looked around. Nic looked at me with a smirking expression. "You need a lift?" She flicked her wrist and I flew upwards. "NIC!!!!!!" I screamed. I seemed to fall then. Straight onto solid rock. "Ouch, there's soooooo gonna be a bruise there tommorrow." I leaned over and pulled Nicole up. " You owe me, I think I broke my arm, can you practise using your wind powers to help me land? If I'd had any warning, I would have had time to "conjour" up water to break my painful, empahsis on PAINFUL fall" Nic grumbled. "I got you up here didn't I?' I was silenced by a yell. "Put it out you fools!!!" I turned to Nic, she nodded. We sprinted up the slope and caught sight of three hobbits. "Its them" I whispered. She nodded. They seemed to notice us. "Who are you?" The burly one asked. He seemed to stand before Frodo. "Samwise Gamgee" I said in awe. Sam's fists came up then. "I'll ask again Miss, who are you!" I looked at Nicole. "Ummmmm" How were we going to explain this one?
