Yay! I'm putting up chapter six! This one has a bit of humor in it, but you may not like some parts (I'm sure I don't.)
Farren: L-Like when F-Frodo-
Lily: Hush! No giving away what happens!
Angel: What are you doing here Lils? I thought you were waiting for your part to come in. NEXT CHAPTER!
Lily: I COME IN NEXT CHAPTER?
Bianca: Great job Angel.
Angel: Thank you- Wait... That was saracasm.
Pebbles: Wow Angel. Even I knew that was saracasm.
Marley: Haha... Nice one Angie!
Angel: AAAHHHH! Don't call me Angie!
Ignore them please.
Anyways...
Here's the stupid disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I only own my OC's.
Chapter Six: Without You
/I won't run, I won't fly, I will never make it by. Without you, without you, I can't rest, I can't fight! All I need is you and I... Without you... -Usher (& David Guetta)/
"Where are you taking us?" Frodo looked at Strider who, with Angel by his side, was leading the Hobbits through a gloomy, overgrown forest.
"Into the wild." Strider replied.
"How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf?" Merry whispered.
Marley nodded. "I'm with Merry on this one. We don't know for sure whether Strider and Gandalf are friends."
"We have no choice but to trust him." Frodo replied.
"But where is he leading us?" Sam asked.
"To Rivendell, Master Gamgee... To the House of Elrond."
Sam looked excited. "You hear that, Bill? Rivendell! We're going to see the Elves!"
Angel smiled fondly at the hobbits behind her. Though it was kind of weird that Sam was talking to the pony...
It was later on when the hobbits began to stop, and unstrap their satchels.
"Gentlemen, ladies, we do not stop until nightfall." Strider informed them.
"What about breakfast?" Pippin asked.
"You've already had it." Angel laughed. Maybe he has short term memory loss...
"We've had one, yes... But what about Second Breakfast?"
Strider and Angel gave Pippin blank looks. Strider turned away, shaking his head, while Angel raised her eyebrows at Pebbles who was giggling. "You like him?" She mouthed.
Pebbles blushed. "Shut up." She mouthed back.
Angel rolled her eyes and turned back to keep walking with Strider.
"I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip." Merry informed his friend.
"What about Elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon Tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them doesn't he?"
"I wouldn't count on it." Merry replied.
Farren groaned. "I was getting used to seven meals a day!"
Angel laughed as an apple was thrown at Merry. He caught it. Then one was thrown to Pippin. It whacked him in the forehead.
She pulled one off a tree, and chucked it at an unsuspecting Marley, who was laughing at Pippin. It nailed her in the gut, and caused her to fall over.
"Oof!"
"Don't make fun of people!" Angel scolded.
Everyone was laughing. Angel smirked upon seeing a smile on Strider's face.
Strider stopped abrubtly, causing Angel to stop, which caused Pebbles to walk into her, Marley to walk into her, Farren to walk into her, Merry to walk into her, and Pippin to walk into him.
Frodo, Sam, and Strider just watched as, like the domino effect, they all fell over.
"GET OFF ME!" Angel shouted.
"Get off me!" Pebbles echoed. And once again, everyone did the same thing.
Eventually, Pippin stood up, which allowed everyone else to do the same.
Frodo and Sam were laughing, while Strider was shaking his head. Angel was guessing that it was fondly, because she could have sworn she saw a smile on his face.
Once everyone was sober, Strider began explaining. "This was once the great Watchtower of Amon Sul. We shall rest here tonight."
Everyone eventually collapsed halfway up, and they stopped there for now.
Strider dropped seven small swords on the ground at the hobbit's feet.
"These are all for you seven. Keep them close. I'm going to have a look around. Stay here. Angel. Come with me."
Angel shrugged and followed.
"I'll have a sword procured for you when we reach Rivendell." He informed her. She nodded.
Meanwhile up with the hobbits, Frodo was tired. He laid down and shut his eyes, slowly falling asleep.
Sam, Merry and Pippin lit a small fire, while Farren, Marley and Pebbles huddled over to the side.
"Rock, paper, scissors to see who spills first?" Marley asked.
"Fine." Pebbles agreed.
Both Farren and Marley threw rock. Pebbles threw paper.
"Damn..." Farren mumbled. Marley nodded. They played one more round. Farren threw scissors and Marley threw rock. Again.
"Fuck you." Farren growled to her friend, before she glanced at Frodo.
"Awww... I knew it!" Marley smirked.
"It only makes sense first of all. And second, it's really cute!" Pebbles giggled.
"You call the two of us cute, you should see yourself and Pippin." Farren smirked when Pebbles face flushed a red that matched her hair.
"Which leaves-"
"Fine I like Merry." Marley's face was an even deeper red than Pebbles.
"NAWWWWWW!" Pebbles and Farren gushed in unison. "THAT'S SO ADORABLE!"
"HUSH YOURSELVES!" Marley tackled them into the dirt.
"What's so adorable?" Merry asked through a mouthful of sausage.
Farren and Pebbles tried to reply, but they were being choked by Marley.
"Help... Me..." Pebbles wheezed. "Windpipe... Being... Crushed...!"
Marley smirked. "Say anything and I kill you both."
Pebbles and Farren nodded weakly, and she let them go.
THe two gasped for breath. "I CAN BREATHE!"
"Stop shouting!" Farren instructed.
"Fine..."
Frodo rolled over, his eyes flickering open. He sat up and sniffed the air before looking at his three friends huddled around the small fire.
"What are you doing?" Frodo asked.
"Tomatoes, sausages and crispy bacon!"
"I likes meh bacon crispy! Hand some ovah!" Pebbles laughed.
"We saved some for you, Mr. Frodo." Sam informed him.
"Put it out, you fools! Put it out!" Frodo began to desperately kick dirt on the fire.
"Oh that's nice! Ash on my tomatoes!" Pippin frowned.
A shriek was heard.
Farren and Marley scrambled over to the side of Weathertop to see five ringwraiths on foot, running up the steeps slope with unnatural speed.
"RUN!" They shrieked.
They all grabbed their swords and began to clamber desperately towards the summit.
When they reached the top, it seemed their struggle had been for nothing. The Nazgul surrounded them.
"Back you devils!" Sam shouted.
Sam rushed forward with a cry and he swung his sword at the Witch King, the leader of the Nazgul. The Witch King blocked Sam's blow with his own sword, and Sam's blade shattered. Sam was punched and he went flying.
"ARMADILLO!" Pebbles shrieked as she, Marley, Merry and Pippin flung themselves at the ground, overcome with fear and terror.
The Nazgul began to close in on Frodo after knocking Farren out of the way.
"NO!" Sam shouted.
Everyone looked and they saw Frodo had disappeared.
He had put the Ring on...
Farren watched as the Witch King stabbed his dagger towards where Frodo had disappeared. A cry of pain was heard.
Suddenly, Strider charged in at the wraiths, weilding his sword in one hand and a flaming torch in the other.
Farren screamed as Frodo sank to the ground, the ring off his finger now.
The other hobbits watched as Strider singlehandedly fought off the Nazgul. One fled, his head engulfed in flames.
"FRODO!" Everyone shouted upon seeing him.
Angel rushed onto the summit and ran forward.
"Fuck..." She growled.
"Mr. Frodo!" Sam panicked.
Strider knelt down and picked up the Witch King's dagger once the Nazgul were gone.
"Help him, Strider!" Sam shouted.
"He's ben stabbed by a Morgul blade." The blade melted vanishing into the air like smoke. Strider threw the hilt down and turned back to Frodo.
"Do something!" Farren whimpered.
"This is beyond my skill to heal. He needs Elvish medicine." He lifted Frodo onto his shoulders, and everyone began running.
"We're six days from Rivendell!" Sam shouted.
Frodo groaned.
"Hold on, Frodo." Strider instructed.
"Frodo you can make it! You have to!" Farren whimpered. She had long ago lost the strength to run, and was being carried by Angel.
"He'll never make it!" Sam shouted.
"Gandalf? Gandalf?" Frodo called.
They soon set him down on the ground.
"Is he going to die?" Pippin asked, looking pained.
Frodo's breathing was beginning to get shallow.
"No... He is passing into the shadow world, he will soon become a wraith like them."
The distant cry of a Ringwraith rang through the air.
"They're close..." Merry said nervously.
Frodo gasped in pain.
"Sam! Do you know the Athelas plant?" Strider looked at him.
Sam gave him a blank look.
"Atehelas?"
"Kingsfoil!"
"Kingsfoil? Aye, it's a weed!"
"It may help to slow the poison! Hurry!"
"I know Kingsfoil when I see it! I'll help." Angel set Farren down. "Watch her!" She instructed Pebbles and Marley. They nodded and started to try and comfort Farren as Merry and Pippin watched Frodo.
"Strider!" Angel shouted upon seeing some Athelas.
Strider knelt down and began to carefully pull it from the ground. He froze when a sword touched his neck.
"What's this? A Ranger caught off his guard?" A feminine voice teased.
Strider looked up at his adopted sister.
Sam, Strider, Angel and Arwen rushed back to where the others were.
"Who is she?" Pippin asked as Arwen spoke to Frodo in elvish.
"Frodo?" Arwen asked worriedly.
"She's an elf." Sam whispered.
"He's fading... He's not going to last. We must get him to my father." Arwen explained.
Strider lifted Frodo up and placed him on the horse.
"I have been looking for you for two days." Arwen informed them.
"Where are you taking him?" Pippin asked.
"There are five Wraiths behind you. Where the other four are, I do not know."
Strider began to speak in elvish. "I'll send horses for you."
Arwen grabbed the reins. "I'll take him. I'm the faster rider."
Strider clamped his hand over hers. "Sister, the road is too dangerous."
"If I can cross the river, the power of my people can protect him, brother." Arwen replied.
"What are they saying?" Pippin asked.
"It's elvish..." Pebbles obvserved quietly.
"Obviously... Now hush." Angel instructed.
"I do not fear them." Arwen whispered.
Arwen mounted her horse. "Arwen. Ride hard, don't look back." Strider instructed.
They all watched as she sped off on Asfaloth.
"What are you doing? Those Wraiths are still out there!" Sam shouted.
"HUSH YOURSELF SAMWISE!" Angel shouted, trusting Strider's judgement.
"Who was she?" She asked as they hurried on.
"My adopted sister, Arwen. She is the daughter of Elrond."
"Ah... That makes a bit more sense." Marley mumbled.
Farren sobbed silently into Angel's shirt as they went on.
Frodo... Please be alright... I can't go on without you... I wouldn't be able to fight... To run... Please Frodo...
There ya go!
Farren: FRODO! PLEASE BE OKAY!
Lily: You know, he's gonna know you like him.
Farren: RAWRR! LILY SHUT UP! I'M BUSY CRYING!
Lily: Gosh... I was just saying... That would bother a lot of girls...
Bianca: Lily! You're heartless!
Lily: Am not!
Bianca: She's sobbing about the fact that Frodo could be DEAD!
Lily: Oh yeah... Poor Frodo...
Pebbles: That's all you can say? Poor Frodo?
Marley: YOU ARE HEARTLESS LILY! OH MY GOD!
Again... Ignore them...
Hope you liked the chapter! (or some of it...)
Review please!
Farren: REVIEW SO FRODO WILL BE ALRIGHT!
Angel: And so she'll stop freaking shouting in my ear!
