Chapter: 7
Hello! Hope you liked the last chapter! I was going to reveal her secret identity a lot later on, but then I thought… Why not? I'm sorry though if you didn't enjoy it, maybe I could write it again? Anyways please review! I do appreciate them! Without further or do, next chapter! Enjoy!
Sam POV
Bill had wandered off again. Oh where could that silly pony have gone?
"Bill! Bill? Where are you!? You silly pony, we have to get back now!"
The sound of crackling branches was nearby, past that tree? Maybe it was Bill, he might've been looking for a special plant of some sort?
"Bill, that you old boy?"
And I was right it was Bill. He stood in a clearing, looking petrified at some unseen enemy. What ever could be the matter with him?
"C'mon you silly old foul. Let's go the others will be waiting for you and I. Now, now it aint a'tall polite to keep them waiting now is it? Bill something wrong?"
Bill was quivering. He looked around a panicked stare in his eyes. I pulled him along by his bridle. He didn't budge. After some pulling, he finally came around, and we began walking back towards camp. Or at least I think that's where camp was…
"Well now Bill, you perhaps know the way?"
I looked at him expectantly, no answer.
"Hmm… Well lets keep walking in this direction. It is probably the right way…"
I pulled Bill along. He was still quivering. We continued walking the supposed right away, until I heard something. Something that chilled me right down to the marrow of my bones. Wolf howls.
Legolas POV
Sam. Idiot, was what I was thinking. Poor Sam is what everyone else was thinking. We searched frantically for him. He was nowhere to be found. Bill was gone too. Where did he go? Did he run off? No Sam would never leave master Frodo.
"Ooooowwwoooo!"
We all stopped to listen. Wolves. Adanon or Adriane, lifted her head up, as if listening to them. Her eyes were back to that golden color. What in the gods names, was wrong with her? She wouldn't be able to understand them, what was the point in trying?
"Hear anything?"
I was shocked when Gandalf asked her that question.
"They found him."
Her voice changed, her eyes back to that golden color. It was eerie.
"He's with… A pony. Bill perhaps?"
Her voice changed back, one blink and her eyes were green again.
"Why would he be in the middle of the forest with Bill? Was he abandoning us?" Pippin asked.
Most likely worried his, friend had abandoned us.
"Do not falter your faith in Sam. Do not worry about why he left. Lead on Adriane." Aragorn said. His voice reassuring us.
"We have to move fast. The hobbits won't be able to move as fast. Leave them here." Adriane told us. Not told ordered.
"We can't leave them!" Borrimor protested.
"Fine. I'll get him myself." She walked away quickening her pace, getting ready to run.
"Wait you can't take them alone! Even you aren't that strong." I said to her. She would die.
"We are wasting time! Sam might die and we're sitting here bickering about who gets to save him! You come with me, or you don't simple!" She started into a run and I followed her, I didn't know I was the only who was.
She stopped, looking around. She turned in a circle, looking as if an unseen enemy was surrounding us. But I knew. The wolves had surrounded us.
"So elf boy, you see them?"
"Yes. Why elf boy? I am a grown, and a prince."
"Ok fine. You see them your highness?"
"Yes I do."
She snorted as if mocking me. Why I am royalty. I wonder if she was as well. No. Maybe a nobility of some sort?
"Hey royal highness? Focus."
I snapped back to the real world.
"Don't worry they won't kill us. Well-"
"Yes?"
Finally looking to turn at her I realized she had disappeared.
"Owooooo!"
They started walking towards me. Coward! Leave me here to die! I knew she was trouble! Even as Adanon!
"Hey!"
I looked up. She had climbed to the top of a rock, which rose high above our heads.
"How dare you attack me!?"
That voice again it wasn't hers. Her eyes changed into an even purer gold. The wolves shrunk back. They lowered themselves as if bowing.
"This is my vessel and I don't need it torn apart by you! You are the foulest type of wolf! I may not be your queen but you will pay the price! I will kill you all, if you so much as lay a claw on either one of us! So leave now before you regret it!"
An inhuman like snarl rang from her throat. Terrifying how a person might change in seconds. The wolves shrunk back, seeming to think over their options. If I were them I would run, run to their dens, back where they came from. They seemed to agree with my opinion, and ran back into the woods. Adriane or, whatever she was, jumped down from the rock, and walked toward me. I stared into those eyes and in them I saw a war that, chilled my very bones. Orcs, men, and goblins fighting one another. Wolves running together, a queen sitting upon a throne. Then she blinked, and her eyes were green again. Her legs shook and she fell to her knees.
"I'm… sorry I don't know what just happened."
I stared at her, her head was lowered to the ground and it seemed as if she lived a thousand more years. Lifting her head she stared back at me. Her eyes were not green as I thought. They showed an image, a forest, and mountains. Blink. It was gone, a new image a lone wolf howling. Blink. Normal green eyes shown back at me. Shaking my head in confusion I walked away. She followed.
"Sam is near."
