Chapter Twenty-one
Strider stopped Merry and Pippin from throwing the rocks. I walked back with the rest of the group waiting for the door to open.
"It's a riddle," Frodo said. "Speak 'friend' and enter. What's the Elvish word for friend?"
Gandalf looked up. "Mellon,"
The symbol on the stone doors glowed and slowly opened. "Come on." I went to Pippin, grabbed his hand and followed the rest of the group in.
Gandalf took a stone and placed it in his staff, giving some light in the dark cave. "This is beautiful." I said.
"Yes," Pippin replied. I didn't see, but I felt him looking at me.
We hobbits stayed close together as we walked a little closer inside the mine. I stopped dead in my tracks when I bumped into something on the ground. I looked down, seeing a rotting, mangled dwarf corpse. I gasped and a scream escaped my lips.
"It's a tomb..." Boromir said
I made a mad dash for the open door way, with Pippin and the other hobbits on my tail. I stopped at the edge of the water; as I turned back to see if the others had made it out I felt a cold, slimy object wrap around my ankle. Before I could uld look down I was violently pulled to the water.
"Wisteria!" I heard the boys scream.
I was screaming myself, hitting the tentacle and try to wiggle away, but I was continuously being waved around. I heard Sam and Frodo yell for Strider and the others. The tentacle pulled me beneath the water for a few seconds then yanked me back up.
I saw Strider, Boromir and Legolas all cutting and stabbing the large aquatic animal that had me. "Let me go!" I yelled. Almost on command I felt the grip loosen and I fell, landing in Legolas's arms.
"Into the mines!" Gandalf ordered. Legolas carried me in. When the creature tried to follow in, hitting the walls of the entrance way, stones fell and shut the opening.
It was dark for a moment until Gandalf lit up the stone on his staff again. As soon as the mine was lit I felt Pippin pull me into his arms.
"Are you all right?" he asked, not letting go.
"I'm fine," I quietly replied. I rested my head on his shoulder as he held me tight. I wanted to go home.

Please don't kill me for making Wisteria be the one that the squid caught. Just wanted to throw a tist into the mix. Thanks for the support...again...lol and REVIEW!
