Sorry I haven't updated for a few days - sometimes real life intrudes...
Still owning nowt...
The Return Of The Kate?
Kate strolled out of the Tower looking very pleased with herself. The echoes of the new Sauron's screams (and those of the fangirls) following her. The battle was still continuing, although anything that saw Kate gave her a very wide berth.
Suddenly the ground started to shake. Gandalf called in a clear voice, "Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom."
The Towers of the Teeth swayed, tottered, and fell down; the mighty rampart crumbled; the Black Gate was hurled in ruin. "The realm of Sauron is ended!" Said Gandalf. "The Ringbearer has fulfilled his Quest."
"I think it would have been better to leave him as he was." Muttered Kate realising that Sauron was no more and her brilliant revenge was short lived.
***
Kate could see that there was still fighting going on and although she was tired she decided to make one last effort in use of her staff. She raised it and quietly murmured a word underneath her breath.
***
"Anyone want a lift?" Kate called across the field from the seat of her brand new jeep. Brand new and full of fuel, Kate was no fool knowing perfectly well that a gas station in middle earth would be highly unlikely.
Kate ended up driving back Gimli and Pippin. Gimli still preferring anything to riding on a horse and Pippin in no fit state to do anything.
"Everybody buckled up?" Kate asked swivelling around to see her passengers. She checked their seat belts, which both had managed to do up correctly before turning back to start up the engine. Several shadows fell across the car. She looked up to see Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf and most of the Rangers gazing down at her from their horses.
"Race you back?" She challenged.
Legolas snorted in disbelief. How could such a contraption outdoShadowfax? Or indeed outdo any horse?
"We will see you in the city. If you do not appear within a few days we will send out search parties to rescue you." Aragorn answered.
This time Kate snorted in disbelief. "Search parties, my foot." She muttered. "Fine. On your marks, get set, GO!"
The car stayed stationary as the others rode off into the distance. After an hour Kate leisurely reached down and started the engine.
***
Kate stood waiting by her car as the riders finally caught up with her. She had arrived back in the city well ahead of all them including Shadowfax. All they saw of her when she passed was a cloud of dust and Gimli and Pippin gesturing from the back seat at them. Making insulting signs.
"Took your time." Kate commented as Aragorn eventually drew level with her.
"A King is never late, Kate. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." Gandalf admonished her with a twinkle in his eye.
"Yeah. Whatever. Still lost the race though didn'tcha!"

Hmm, perhaps not the most inspired chapter but hey - it's been a long weekend.... R&R and make it better!
