*Normal POV*
Galadriel was handing out gifts to help us on our journey.
First was Lily. "To you, Lillian Smith, I give you the stone of wisdom. When a wise choice has been made, it will turn blue. But when a foolish choice is made, it will turn red. Keep it close."
Lily stared at the stone that was worn on her neck. It was black. "What does it mean when it is black?" She asked.
"No choice concerning you has been made." "Oh... Thank you, Lady Galadriel."
She smiled and continued on to Meghan and Pep. She pulled out two daggers. "These are for you. They have been through many battles, and the previous owners, two very great elves, survived each battle while wielding them. Farewell." She smiled at them and then moved on to Rachel.
"I do not need a gift, my lady." Rachel said quickly.
Galadriel nodded. "As you wish. But I will tell you this, do not fail your companions. For the fate of the world now lies on every member of the fellowship's shoulders." Galadriel's voice sounded almost demanding, and Rachel nodded nervously. "Y-Yes, My Lady."
...
The Fellowship left Lothlorien in boats. Meghan, Pep, and Rachel were in one, Legolas, Gimli, and Lily in another, Boromir, Merry, and Pippin and Aragorn, Frodo, and Sam in the other two.
Meghan sighed and looked down at the water. It was blue. VERY blue. The rivers back home seemed so... Disgusting almost... Compared to this. She ran her hand across it. Se was extremely bored. Suddenly she felt cold water splash her back.
She gasped and turned to see Pep had splashed her. "Pep!"
"What?"
Meghan splashed her cousin back. Pep did the same. The two ended up having a water fight.
Lily rolled her eyes and laughed slightly upon watching Meghan and Pep's actions.
"Stop it you two!" Rachel hissed.
Meghan and Pep both looked at Rachel, surprised. Pep turned to Meghan. "What's up with her?" She mouthed.
Meghan shrugged. "I don't know." She mouthed back.
...
"Whoa..." Pep whispered Once they came across two massive statues.
"The Argonath. Long have I desired to look upon the kings of old... My kin..." Aragorn whispered.
They stopped on shore.
Sam immediately started a fire, and Meghan, Pep, Merry, and Pippin all sat down together.
Lily was observing her surroundings. She and Legolas shared a worried look, before turning back at the wilderness.
"We cross the lake at nightfall, hide the baots and continue on foot." Aragorn announced. "We approach Mordor from the North."
"Oh, yes, just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil, an impassable labyrinth of razor sharp rocks." Gimli frowned."And after that, it gets even better! A festering, stinking marshland, far as the eye can see."
"That is our road... I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf." Aragorn responded.
Gimli looked stunned. "Recover my- Grr..." He growled and settled down onto the sand.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Dwarves..." She whispered, smirking.
Meghan sighed and examined her dagger. It looked almost identical to the ones Merry and Pippin recieved. Same with Pep's. She stared at it, and suddenly an image of herself and her twin sister Nicola laughing on a Christmas holiday, both girl. Were twelve, maybe thirteen. The image looked almost ghostly. Suddenly ghost Pep jumped into the picture and pulled the twins into a group hug. 'Merry Christmas!' Ghost Pep laughed. Suddenly the image disappeared. Meghan jumped and almost fell into the water. "Whoa!"
Merry looked at Meghan, very confused. Meghan sighed. "Pep stare at your dagger."
"Huh?"
"Just do it."
Pep did as she was told. And about thirty seconds later, she suddenly saw herself and all of her friends celebrating on New Year's Eve. Pep felt like she was looking into Dumbledor's Pensieve. It looked like it too.
'HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013!' Imaginary Lily and Meghan yelled.
'WOO! YEAH! IN YOUR FACE NICOLA! I AIN'T DEAD! THE WORLD DIDN'T END!' Imaginary Pep cried. All the girls there; Nicola, Meghan, Lily, her old friend, who moved, Jessica, all laughed. Suddenly she was back in Middle Earth, staring at a dagger. "Oh my god!" She said, letting go of the dagger and letting it lie on the sand.
"See?"
"What is going on with you two?" Pippin raised his eyebrows.
Pep picked up the dagger, and handed it to Pippin. "Stare at it."
"What? Why?"
Pep sighed and shoved it in front of his face. About three minutes later, he shook his head. "I see nothing."
Pep took her dagger from him. "Weird. Maybe it only works for Meghan and I."
"What happened anyways?" He asked.
"Well, I saw myself celebrating with my friends on New Year's Eve. And Meg..." Pep turned to her cousin.
"I saw myself and my twin sister having fun during the Christmas Holidays." Meghan finished.
"Where's Frodo?" Merry asked suddenly.
Everyone slowly began to realize that Frodo was not there. And neither was Boromir.
"Uh oh..." Pep whispered.
"Let's split up!" Lily suggested. Legolas nodded. "Lily, Gimli, come with me." The two nodded and the three ran off to the right.
"Who would've thought he'd pick those two?" Pep smirked. Meghan laughed as she and the rest of the hobbits ran to the left, minus Sam, who went his own way, as Aragorn and Rachel took the area between the two groups.
Lily sighed. "Something very, very bad is about to happen. I can feel it."
Just then she heard growling and the sound of feet. "And now the are orcs on us."
Rachel decided to split up from Aragorn. She needed to find Boromir. Get him away from Frodo and the Ring...
The Ring...
"No... Please... Not now... Not now!" Rachel begged.
"...Fine! But you will regret this child!" His voice filled her head. She smiled slightly.
She ran to go find Frodo. She had to remember not to say the 'R' word.
CLANG!
Lily jumped upon hearing the sound of swords clashing. She looked at Legolas and Gimli. The two were already running towards the sound, so she followed them.
When they reached the Uruks, it was them and Aragorn versus about three hundred Uruks.
"GET THE GIRL! GET THE GIRL, SCUM! FIND THE HALFLINGS! GET THEM TOO!" One Uruk yelled.
Legolas turned to Lily.
"Run."
"What? No-"
"Just run!"
She sighed, nodded, and ran.
Meghan, Merry, Pep, and Pippin were all hiding in the bushes.
They spotted Frodo hiding behind a tree across from them.
"Frodo! Hide here! Quick!" Merry whisper-shouted.
"Come on!" Pippin said as the Uruks ran past them.
Frodo shook his head. He looked sad.
"What is he doing?" Pep asked Meghan.
Both her and Merry looked at Frodo. Meghan understood. "He's leaving." The two chorused.
"No!" Pippin jumped out. Merry grabbed his arm, and ended up jumping out too. "Pippin!"
"HEY!" Pippin waved his hands in the air and looked at the Uruks running at them.
Pep smiled at Pippin's idea and hopped out to stand beside him! "YEAH, YOU! COME AND GET ME!"
Meghan jumped out to join her friends. "OVER HERE!" Meghan and Merry said together.
The Uruks charged at them.
"Uh... I think we should run." Meghan said. Merry nodded. "Yes. We Should. Come on! Run!"
The four ran for it as Frodo escaped.
Over with Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and the new addition of Rachel...
Suddenly they heard a loud horn.
"The horn of Gondor!" Legolas identified.
"Boromir!" Aragorn whispered. The four ran in the direction of the horn, they also ended up catching up to Lily.
Boromir, Meghan, Merry, Pippin, and Pep all fought on a small bridge. Boromir had his sword and the hobbits threw rocks.
Pep gasped when an arrow hit Boromir's chest.
The hobbits stared at him, eyes wide, as he got up and fought more Uruks.
Another arrow hit him. He looked up at the hobbits, fear in his eyes. Then he got up and killed even more Uruks.
One more arrow hit him, and he fell to his knees. The hobbits all drew their daggers and ran towards the Uruk-Hai. But they were just scooped up and carried away.
"LET... ME... GO!" Meghan screamed. "Shut yer mouth!" One of the Uruks hissed, and punched her hard in the face. The Uruks have metal gloves, by the way.
Her mouth began to bleed as she passed out.
Lily jumped off a small cliff, her knives in the air. She landed in front of a huge Uruk, who picked her up and ran away. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!" Lily screamed.
Rachel ended up running straight into a tree and passed out cold. She fell onto the ground, and got picked up by a huge Uruk, and was carried away.
A/N: I don't have time to check for Spelling/Grammar mistakes, so I'm sorry if there are any Spelling/Grammar mistakes in this Chapter.
Also, another hint that something's up with Rachel. What is it? Stay in tune to find out. ;P
