I woke up the next morning, all in one peace and fully awake. "So you
didn't get me killed last night good for you," I said to Heli who was
staring into nothingness with a dull look on her face. "Heli." I said
carefully, inching my way over to her. I waved my hand in front of her
face, nothing.
I was quickly starting to panic "Heli?" I asked "Come on stop messing around we need to get going" she had a glazed over look to her eyes and then as suddenly as it was there it was gone and she sat straight up.
"Huh? What'd I miss?" she asked. I sighed in relief.
"Heli you scared the shit out of me, what were you doing?" I asked.
She yawned " I was sleeping" she stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"And you said I spend to much time with the elves" I said muttering darkly.
We began to gather our things and moved on "Um.we should definitely turn that way" I said pointing down a path.
"Why can't we just go straight?" Heli asked.
"Oh through a dark forest we don't know I'll get right on that" I said sarcastically.
"Well gee where did you get your bitch make over at" Heli said.
"Why do you want one?" I asked.
Heli laughed "come on smart ass"
We walked down the path and finally we were in a open field "where are we?" Heli asked desperately.
"Well if we just got out of Rivendell forest we should be.." I thought about the middle-earth map I had at home "we should be, oh crap I think it's safe to say we went in the wrong direction".
Heli groaned "Why?" she asked
I searched through my bag, I can make this a whole lot easier for both of us if I would have brought my map". I said digging through my backpack.
"Didn't you use it for your speech on Lord of the Rings?" Heli asked.
"Your right I did now where did I put it, oh please don't tell me I left it in my locker" I dug frantically through my bag. "Damnit" I muttered a fine string of curses "I left it in my locker but if I'm right we just went through the trollshäws and are somewhere near the ford".
Heli slapped her head repeatedly "so what do you suppose we do genius?" she asked me.
"Um. find a way to Lothlòrien without going through Moria" I said.
"And how do you suppose we do that we would have to go backwards again and start from where we began" she groaned.
"Well yes we would need to go back and take a different route, like the other way so we can follow the Loudwâter River" I said
"You really studied that map didn't you" Heli said, then shook her head "obsessive freak".
"Hey my obsessions could very well save us," I said "So after we follow the Loudwâter River .." she cut me off.
"Isn't there an easier way this seems like it is going to take a really long time that we don't need to take." She said impatiently.
"Well what crawled up your ass and died, yes there is an easier why Gandlaf talked about it in the first movie remember 'the passage south is being watched' it's just. I don't know where the passage south is or if it will even take us to Lothlòrien".
"We could always try to go through Moria" Heli suggested softly.
"No Heli, Moria is definatly out of the question, I don't feel like trying to defeat an army of Orcs with a cave troll because that is just what they are waiting for some one to come in so they can attack. Then we would have to face a Balrog and I for one don't know how to get rid of it and.. We could always try" I finally said I Heli slumped down on the ground and heaved a long sigh.
"if it is the shortest way I would try anything" Heli said.
"The movie made it look short Heli we have about a 20 day journey ahead of us".
"Are you serious?" she asked desperately.
"Maybe more maybe less but 20 is about my guess."
"Well I guess it could be worse," Heli said
***********10 days later********
"it can't get worse than this" Heli groaned.
I was quickly starting to panic "Heli?" I asked "Come on stop messing around we need to get going" she had a glazed over look to her eyes and then as suddenly as it was there it was gone and she sat straight up.
