When I awoke from my swoon, I saw we were in a forest. AS soon as he saw I was awake, Legolas came over with some food and made me eat.

"Where did the rider go?" I asked?

"To go tell his brethren that their enslavement will soon be over," Legolas said. "He carried us this far after Faramir gave us some food and water for our journey."

"So how close are we to mount doom anyway? Are we nearing it at all?"

"We will be there soon, or so Smeagol assures me. I do not trust that sneaky devil."

After a few minuets we began to walk again. After a time we came to a place that looked shockingly like the emerald city from the wizard of oz. Smeagol showed us the "stairs" and I felt somewhat sick. They were the farthest thing from safe as I had seen in years. We began our long climb. Suddenly a nazgool swooped down beside us.

"Quickly, I will give you a ride to the top. I can not actually take you in because of your father. If he sees us, it is all over for us."

We were at the top quickly. A big, gapping cavern lay in front of us. Taking a deep breath we prepared to enter.

"No wait," Gollum cried. "She will eat you. I can not let that happen to the lady Vearanniel."

"What? Who is she?" I asked.

"The spider," he said, "We must be careful or else die we will."

We all drew our weapons and began to proceed carefully into the cave. We were as quiet as possible. It didn't work. The spider caught us anyway. We fought it and made it outside, but she followed. She was getting ready to stab at Frodo when I saw it. I couldn't let the ring bearer die. I flung myself in between the two of them and I felt a sharp stinging pain in my shoulder. I began to fall. Everything became a blur and then, my world was black and empty.

I awoke in a dark dark room. The puncture from my wound had been tended and an orc stood over me. I recoiled in disgust.

"Now now, you have no reason to fear me like that. We would not hurt such a meek creature of our beauty. Here have some food." They tried to give me something that vaguely resembled food, but had something living in it. I refused passionately.

"Come now, we don't want you to die."

I raised my hand with out really knowing what I was doing and yelled something. I brilliant flaming lighting came out of my hand and engulfed the orc. He died in an instant. Useful trick. I would have to remember it.

I quickly grabbed my katana and began looking around. I found a flight of stairs and began to walk cautiously down. There was a bunch more orcs at the bottom. I vaguely remembered what I had done before and I did it again. All the orcs were now crispy pieces of meat.

Around the corner I heard screaming. I ran towards it and rounded the bend fully ready this time. My companions were there but they obviously needed help. I jumped in and began hacking a way at orcs. The work was quickly done.

"Of Vearanniel, forgive me for thinking you to be dead," Legolas said. "My heart was broken for a horrible moment."

"Legolas, it would hurt me to die, just because I know the pain that it would bring you."

"Come we must hurry. Soon we will not be able to go to the cracks of doom. We must run!" we went as swiftly as our legs could carry us.

We came upon a very large rock. When we whizzed around it we saw a very large person dressed in black. He was huge. Before we could do anything, he raised his hand and said a very ugly word. We all landed in an unconscious heap on the ground.
