Chapter Fourteen: On the Road Again
Choosing my next course wouldn't be easy. I knew that Legolas would go to Helm's Deep. I could plead Faramir to take me there. Or I could choose to stay with Faramir. Then there was the choice of carrying on with Frodo and Sam. I knew that my plan had backfired, and Gollum would attack us, but I would have the opportunity to kill a giant spider(and a few Orcs).
As Frodo and Sam were making ready to leave, Faramir wanted to speak with me.
"Luna, I-"
"Um..."
"..."
"You were asking about the pendant..." I told him about Galadriel and Legolas, and how I got the pendant.
"So, you choose neither?"
I nodded. I decided I wouldn't make it out alive.
"And you will go to Mordor with Frodo and Samwise?"
I nodded again.
"If you should die, I would never forgive myself."
I looked down. He took me into his warm embrace. I didn't complain. We stood there a while, until Frodo and Sam announced they were ready.
"Farewell." Faramir said.
"Goodbye, Faramir. Try not to get yourself killed." he smiled.
I looked from Frodo to Sam, "C'mon, boys. We've got some stairs to climb."
We set out on the road to Mordor.
