Have to do the most depressing thing to do in about 1hr. Let's see if I can
cheer myself up a bit first....
Still don't own anything... Am now even more depressed with that knowledge.....
Away from Isengard.
Kate walked out of the room she was in and made for the door, only to be confronted by Wormtongue.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Grima Wormtongue."
"Well Grima, get the hell outta my way or else."
Wormtongue tried to stop Kate, but she still had Saruman's staff which she used to hit him. Hard. Across the head. As he staggered forward dazed by Kate's blow, she shoved him aside and made for the door. The company outside were soon faced with the sight of an extremely pissed Kate storming out of the Orthanc with Saruman's staff and slamming the door on Wormtongue's fingers as he had just managed to catch up with her.
A moment later the palantir came flying towards Kate's head. Kate caught it and was about to throw it back at Wormtongue when Pippin took it off her.
"Hey! I'm not that bad a shot y'know!" She said glaring at Pippin
"Here, my lad I'll take that!" Cried Gandalf sharply taking the palantir from Pippin's grasp.
"Hey that's mine! He threw it at me!"
Gandalf ignored Kate's voice and set off back towards his horse.

"You want me to what?"
"You must ride. Can you not ride?" Asked Aragorn frowning.
Legolas started to laugh.
"No I can't ride. Can you drive a car?" Kate answered glaring at Legolas as he continued to laugh.
"Then you must ride with me." Aragorn stated calmly, although deep down wishing he could leave her behind. He mounted, then hoisted Kate up behind him. Kate held on to him for dear life, with her bag on her back and her staff clenched firmly in her right hand.
The fact that she still had the staff was something of a miracle for Gandalf had tried to take it off her.
"It's mine!" Kate cried hotly.
"It is not yours, it must be destroyed." Gandalf answered irately
"Look, you took the ball thing and that was mine as well. Finders keepers. Losers weepers."
"You cannot wield it, it is too powerful for you."
"You've got one!"
"I am a wizard. It is my right."
"Yeah? Big fucking thrills." She paused, and then said with a gleam in her eye, "If you want it, come and get it."
Gandalf sighed angrily before advancing towards Kate. A moment later he was sent reeling backwards after Kate delivered a particularly nasty blow to his cranium.
"Who says I can't wield it now then hmm?" She said while grinning at Gandalf, who was holding his head feeling the large bruise that was already forming on the back of his skull.
"Look, everyone else carries weapons. This is mine. Fair enough?"
Gandalf turned away muttering curses beneath his breath while massaging his aching head.
***
They left Isengard with the graffiti on the Orthanc still flashing brightly. The ride to Edoras was accomplished eventually with Gandalf departing for Minas Tirith and Theoden to Dunharrow. Kate was still unused to riding, but much to Aragorn's relief she did little complaining. This was not due to any good feeling on Kate's part, more a fear that if she opened her eyes and saw where she was going or opened her mouth to speak, she would loose her concentration of holding on to Aragorn. Something she was concentrating on very hard indeed.
They were greeted by Lady Eowyn who was pleased to see them, most especially Aragorn, until she noticed that he rode with a woman.

Oooh Eowyn's jealous of Kate!!!! Don't know where that came from. *Grins* It just occurred to me that it might be funny... And watch out for Legolas's next encounter with Kate soon!!!!!!!!! (And I did this in well under an hour too - I'm off for some food..... And will then be depressed by the thing I have to do:-( Poor me.....) R&R and make me feel better!
