Here is chapter 2. Thanks to all who reviewed. There will be dialog in this chapter. I didn't put it into the last because I don't like copying other people's words that much. So, without further delay…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After the Fellowship made sure Frodo was alright to go on, Gandolf instructed everyone to head for the bridge of Khazad-Dum. They all followed Gandolf, not realizing one of the nine was not with them. As they ran, thousands of Orcs chased them from behind, then more appeared in front of them. Orcs started coming up out of holes in the ground and the ceiling, until the Fellowship was surrounded. The Orcs circled around them, snarling and growling at them, while inching slowly closer. All seemed hopeless, until a rumbling could be heard off in the distance. All the Orcs turned and saw the red light approaching, and they knew what it was. They turned and went back into the holes from where they came. Gimli, who did not know what was approaching, thought that they had scared them off. Gandolf knew differently though, he knew what was coming. Then they all heard the rumbling growl again. That was when they new something terrible was coming. Boromir wondered what it was and asked Gandolf what the new devilry was. Gandolf shut his eyes for a few seconds, then, after the growl was heard again, he answered by saying that it was a Balrog and then instructed everyone to run.

Through all this excitement, Pippin lay unmoving. He had no idea what was going on with the rest of the fellowship. He didn't even know that the fellowship had left him behind. He was swarming through an unchanging blackness.

More Pippin in the next chapter, I didn't know how to fit him into this one. Thanks to all the many people who reviewed, and please review some more, it is the only mail I get.
