Chapter Four

Fangorn Forest: Part Two

Jessica followed Aragorn between Legolas and Boromir as Boromir wished to be behind the group incase of an attack, Legolas Jessica knew was simply trying to keep an eye on her for her safety which pissed her off more than anything. She watched Gimli stray from the group her mind screaming in panic believing that a large enemy may come an crush the tough little dwarf.

Gimli bent close to a leaf rubbing his fingers over it before pulling it toward his mouth a spitting onto the ground in disgust causing Jessica to walk over to him.

"What is it?" she whispered looking around constantly on edge, she felt as if she were in a horror movie and that she would undoubtably be the dumb virgin blonde to die first.

"Orc blood," Gimli grumbled watching a Boromir approached the obviously uneasy girl, clamping his hand upon her shoulder causing her to jump into Gimli. Together to two tripped over one another until together the human and dwarf fell into a heap upon the ground.

"I am so sorry Gimli," Jessica whispered trying to laugh it off.

"It's alright lad," Gimli laughed as Jessica crawled off him, rising to her feet extending her arm down to help the man she caused to fall over to his own feet. She smiled at Gimli if there was anyone she felt comfortable around now, it was this little dwarf who had yet to treat her any different than when he first met her.

"Perhaps we should pick up the pace," Boromir said as something in the forest creaked and groaned causing Jessica to nod quickly rushing back over to Aragorn, getting close to Legolas touching the elf's back. Her eyes never leaving his bow and quiver.

"Hey Legolas," Jessica whispered, the elf glanced over his shoulder to look at her as the ground moved through the forest, his silent acknowledgement that he had heard her and was now listening.

"Legolas?" Jessica whispered again determined to make the elf vocally acknowledge her, in her time it was rude maybe in the world it was normal.

"Aye?" Legolas finally replied seeing the girl was pushing further onto him, he raised an eyebrow not believing she was scared after the large band of Uruk-hai her and Boromir single handedly took out before losing the hobbits and Kristy.

"Can we switch weapons?" Jessica asked causing the elf to raise his eyebrows in a most amused way.

"Why would I switch you a bow for a sword?" Legolas asked finally noticing the girl was not intently touching him but his bow.

"These are strange tracks," Aragorn whispered interrupting the debate over weapons between the two, causing Boromir to come to inspect.

"I have not seen these before," he admitted looking around as Gimli pulled his axe in close to him as he too glanced around.

"The air is close in here," Gimli said causing Jessica to move away from Legolas and his bow and rushing to Aragorn and Boromir.

"Ok Gimli is freaking out and you two are staring at dirt," she whispered into Boromir's ear as the two rose up to continue on the path the hobbits were taking. Legolas moved around them listening to the trees bending, moaning, shaking and vibrating.

"This forest is old...very old. Full of memory...and anger..." Legolas whispered his eyes growing sad as Jessica and Gimli pulled their weapons upon the sound of a deep groan.

"Anger?" Jessica exclaimed as she pressed her back to Gimli's the best she could considering the height difference.

"What is that?" Jessica questioned jumping at the sound of groaning again only fainter. Gimli moved in time with her both very much paranoid.

"Gimli, Jesse lower your weapons," Aragorn ordered.

"Why?" Jessica asked.

"The trees are speaking to each other," Legolas explained.

"Oh..." Gimli whispered looking around before dropping his axe back into its holder.

"This is like some freaking Alice in Wonderland shit. Is there a white rabbit too?" Jessica scoffed reluctantly lowering her sword.

"They have feelings, my friend. The Elves began it. Waking up the trees, teaching them to speak," Legolas said unsure of Jessica's statement he chose to ignore it as most of the group became accustomed to doing when she rambled about nothing.

"Talking trees?" Jessica asked in disbelief.

"What do trees have to talk about?" Gimli asked.

"What drugs are the elves taking?" Jessica questioned.

"Except the consistency of squirrel droppings," Gimli laughed.

"Aragorn, nad no ennas," Legolas suddenly said moving ahead of the group, his eyes scanning the forest.

"Ok that isn't fair! Speak a language we all speak," Jessica complained.

"I agree with the lad here," Gimli said.

"Sh..." Boromir said watching the seriousness enter Aragorn's face as he moved to Legolas' side to peer at the surrounding forest.

"Man cenich?" Aragorn whispered Legolas continued to gaze into the forest his eyes following an object unseen by the rest before turning to Aragorn and the others his face completely serious.

"The White Wizard approaches," Legolas said.

"Do not let him speak. He will put a spell on us," Aragorn ordered.

"Who is the white wizard?" Jessica whispered as everyone drew their weapons, Jessica pulling out her sword before looking to Boromir who was prepared to fight like the day with the Uruk-hai. It seemed so long ago now.

"We must be quick," Aragorn said as they quickly jumped forward, Jessica following behind them as the group was engulfed in a white light. Jessica's mind screaming she died and this was the white light to the world behind this maybe the light home. Suddenly her sword heated up causing her to drop it, she could hear her friend's dropping their weapons as well as Legolas' arrow being shattered upon impact.

"You are tracking the footsteps of two young hobbits?" the voice within the light asked causing Aragorn to step forward as if prepared to fist fight.

"Where are they?" he asked.

"They passed this way the day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?" the voice asked.

"Who are you?" Boromir asked.

"Show yourself!" Aragorn ordered then the light faded and from the brightness stepped forth Gandalf in robes of white.

"It can not be," Aragorn said in disbelief.

"You fell," Boromir whispered.

"How?" Jessica questioned.

"forgive me," Legolas whispered bowing his head.

"I mistook you for Saurman," he said as Gandalf smiled at the group.

"I am Saurman. Or rather, Saurman as he should have been," Gandalf said moving toward the group.


"So...you are from Rivendell? But you are not elven born?" Eowyn asked hoping to get the story line of the girl who clearly appeared elven before her.

"Yes, I am one hundred percent human," Kristy said with a shrug of her shoulders as the two sat at the dinning hall eating, the door suddenly opened and in walked a withered old man with Wormtongue on his arm.

"Who is that?" Kristy asked looking at the man wearing a crown upon his head.

"The King of Rohan. Theoden and he is my uncle," Eowyn announced, her eyes turning back to her plate unable to stare at the man who seemed nothing more than a ghost of his former self.

"How old is he?" Kristy whispered.

"Not a day over forty-five," Eowyn replied sadly causing Wormtongue to look in the girl's direction which in turn Kristy narrowed her eyes dangerously at him.

"I think he is doing something to your uncle," Kristy answered watching the man bend to the King's ear and begin whispering quickly to him.

"That we have no doubt but he is the ear of the King and while his mind is clouded Wormtongue is able to poison his mind," Eowyn said taking a bite of her meat.

"Don't worry," Kristy said patting the girls hand. "My si-brother is on his way. He will help your uncle and put a stop this all this."

"I am afraid a single sibling will not help my people. He has exiled Eomer my brother and his followers from this land. He will do the same to you and your brother if you step forth," Eowyn answered causing Kristy to turn her head and look out the window. Praying her sister was alive and truly on her way.

"Eowyn can I ask you something?" Kristy asked.

"Of course," Eowyn said with a smile more than glad to answer her questions for once in comparison to the ones she had been asking previously.

"How far is Gondor from here? Is it close to Rivendell?" Kristy asked.

"Gondor is our bothering land just beyond the mountains no more than a few days ride but Rivendell is much further away. At least a few months," Eowyn said curiosity sparking in her eyes at the two completely different places to want to know information about.

"I need to go to Gondor...but I would like to send a message to Rivendell," Kristy said.

"Why Gondor?" Eowyn asked sad to hear the girl was already wishing to depart from her city.

"My brother has protection in those lands. I think if he were to go anywhere it would be there, I just plan to go there just in case," Kristy said.

"Would he think you were not here?" Eowyn asked.

"I do not know but I would like to know. If he is not there then I would like to return to Rivendell because that means he is no longer among us," Kristy said through tear filled eyes.

"You are welcome here under the protection of Rohan," Eowyn whispered.

"I know it means nothing considering our current outlook but at least you won't have to travel," she quickly added.

"My best friend is somewhere on the way to Mount Doom," Kristy replied.

"I would like to find her and help her finish the quest of our fellowship despite how broken it may be," she said catching the eyes of Wormtongue.

"I heard tales of the fellowships demise at Amon Hen," Wormtongue said over the table, causing Kristy to glare at the man.

"Well perhaps then you would like to know at least three of the members are still on their quest," Kristy said in annoyance toward the man that was probably going to piss her off more than Elrohir.

"Impossible," Wormtongue scoffed.

"How is it you have heard news over this battle when I have not? Have you heard of such news my King?" Eowyn asked looking to Theoden.

"News travels fast to the ears of men, not to those of women," Wormtongue retorted before bending close to the King to whisper into his ear.

"Hn...ah...yes...yes..." the King mumbled his head inclining to appear as if he were to fall a sleep all to soon, causing Kristy to wonder how much longer this man had to live.

"I must go to Gondor," she whispered to Eowyn.

"Can it not wait just a few more days?" Eowyn asked not wanting to be along in the hollow castle anymore, enjoying her company while she had it.

"Then I must send a letter to my friend Arwen," Kristy replied sadly she did not want to remain here but she did not know anyone in Gondor. Who was she to report to saying that she knew Jesse or Boromir without being called a liar.

"Then let us go to write that letter," Eowyn said with a grim smile rising from her seat, glaring over her shoulder to Wormtongue before the two exiting the dining hall to enter the village to find a place where Kristy could write.


"There are dead things! Dead faces in the water!" Sam cried.

"Oh my god!" Indi screamed jumping back onto Frodo.

"All dead. All rotten. Elves and Men and Orcses. A great battle long ago. Dead Marshes. Yes. Yes, that is their name. This way. Don't follow the lights!" Gollum said moving through the marshes.

"What not the lights?" Indi asked looking at the torches.

"It is a bad light," Gollum hissed looking to Indi as Frodo slipped his foot accidentally into the water.

"Careful now! Or hobbits go down t join the dead ones...and light little candles of their own," Gollum replied.

"So the candles represent death?" Indi asked.

"Tall hobbit is smart," Gollum answered in a sarcastic tone.

"Well fuck you too Gollum," Indi whispered pushing past the creature failing to notice the foot he extended out to trip, turning quickly she grabbed a hold of Frodo pulling him into the waters with her. Together the two tumbled into the marshes watching as the bodies see to gravitate towards them. Their arms reaching out and grabbing hold of them, Frodo pulling Indi closer to him as if he were some form of protection for her as she screams her lungs out under the water.

Suddenly a hand extends into the water pulling the two out, Frodo looked around in confusion as Sam continued to cry his name over and over.

"Don't follow the lights," Gollum hissed to Indi narrowing his eyes.

"I did-Its was-No- But- Frodo!" Indi cried seeing the disapproving looks on the hobbit's faces as Gollum smirked evilly at her.

"Gollum thank you," Frodo said shaking his head at Indi who hung her mouth open in shock as the blame was placed upon her shoulders.

"Mr. Frodo are you alright?" Sam asked.
