All fall down


"Frodo" Sam whispered urgently causing the hobbit to notice his sword glowing, his face was suddenly filled with the horror Elle felt as a screech echoed through the room.

"Orcs!" Legolas confirmed the sound as all eyes flew to the entrance. Boromir ran to the door, was met with two arrows that narrowly missed his face and stuck fast in the old doors. Elle looked over to Chris who was stood with the hobbits trying to calm them and give them courage. She noticed Legolas flashed a worried glance at her as he moved with Aragorn.

"Get back and stay close to Gandalf." Aragorn ordered the hobbits and Chris as he threw down his torch and ran to help Boromir. The door groaned loudly as the men closed them as fast as they could. A small groan escaped Boromir.

"They have a cave troll!" He said in a way that didn't instil much hope in their companions. Elle moved next to Legolas and helped him throw the men, axes to bar the door with.

"I want you to stay back with the hobbits." He said in a whisper that only she could hear as he threw another weapon.

"No, I have to help. I will not stand idle while we are in danger." Elle snapped as she threw an axe to Boromir. The men turned and finished barricading the door; Legolas spun and looked Elle in the eye.

"You will only hinder us, do not be reckless." He said sharply and was answered with the ring of her blades being unsheathed.

"You are not my master." Her frustrations frayed the edges of her words. Further rings echoed through the room as Gandalf and the hobbits drew their swords. His hand clamped onto her wrist causing her to look directly into his eyes. The sound of the enemy at the door was only background noise.

"No, but I am your friend." His eyes seemed to search hers for any sign of backing down but saw none. Elle pulled her wrist from his grasp and he offered no resistance. Elle vaguely noticed Gimli climb upon his cousin's tomb as she span to face the door while Legolas moved to a better position. She needed this; she needed to vent all the frustrations that whirred in her mind like a storm and she needed to prove she could do the task given her.

"Agh! Let them come, there's one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath." Gimi growled as Aragorn and Legolas pulled out their bows. Orcish swords began to pierce the frail wooden doors and the tension in the room rose. The hobbit's terror was infectious.

'You ready for this?' Elle heard Chris' voice echo through her mind.

'Not even close.' Was all she could reply before the first arrow was loosed and the doors came tumbling down.
