A/N: Okay Microsoft word is being a wench so I have to use the lousy Text stuff but anyway...LOL on with the story
Chapter Five
"Well its very simple, if you are a friend you speak the password!" Gandalf exclaimed after reading the wall. He said something in a different language and the door still did not open. He muttered something then sat down on a rock.
"The mine is no place for a pony, not even as brave as Billy," Strider said to Sam as he undid the halter on the pony. "don't worry he knows the way home." Strider pushed Bill away and the pony walked out of site behind a the rock.
Merry stood at the foot of the lake and glared at Pippin and Phoenix talking. She stood behind him playing with his pointed Hobbit ears. Merry could feel his blood boil as jealously took over him. He clutched his fists around the rocks in his hands. He decided to start throwing the pebbles in to relieve his stress. Suddenly Strider grabbed his wrist as he was getting ready to throw the last stone. "It is best not to disturb the waters here." He said letting go.
"What are you doing?" Pippin asked as Phoenix kept nipping at his ears.
"Playing with your ears," she replied. He shifted his head out of the way and turned to face her.
"I think you're the first one that has ever wanted to," he leaned closer to her but was cut off when they heard the doors to the mine open. They followed the rest of the group into the mine.
"Soon my Elf friend," Gimli said to Legolas. "You shall know the true meaning of a dwarf greeting. A great feast...red meat right off the bone!"
Phoenix wrinkled her nose at the sound of 'red meat right off the bone'. Then the thought of real food entered her mind. Since she arriv in the strange world she had eaten only vegetables and sausage.
Suddenly she stopped when she ran into Pippin, who stopped in front of her. "This isn't a mine," Boromir said. "Its a tomb!" Phoenix looked around her and saw the dead skeletons of many dwarf shoulders. Legolas picked an arrow from one of the dead bodies.
"Goblins!" He concluded, reaching for his own arrow. She saw the other Hobbits reach for their own swords as the fellowship started to back out of the cave.
As she backed out with the group she heard something slowly creeping on the rocks from the water. She saw a tentacle slithering towards them and was about to grab Frodo's ankle. "Frodo!" she screamed. Frodo turned but not fast enough. The tentacle grabbed his ankle pulling him towards the water.
"Strider!" Sam yelled. Strider came out of the cave and began chopping at the squid like creature. Phoenix watched at Frodo was thrown about. Boromir dashed out past the small cluster of Hobbits to help. With a final slice of the sword Strider cut the tentacle that held Frodo. Frodo fell and Boromir caught him.
"Quick...everyone inside!" Gandalf yelled. Everyone managed to run in before the squid could catch them. Gandalf placed a stone on top of his staff and a large light appeared to light a small area. "We must start...it is a four day journey to the other side." He walked forward with the others following.
