" Ai . AI ! A balrog ! " Legolas wailed . Gandalf too look past the four figures seperated

from the rest of the company . Then they saw it , a huge monster with a bull horn on it's

hideous head . It was glowing fierce red and was holding a whip on one of its monster hand .

The ground tremble of the weight and Serena suddenly grab Frodo's collar and toss him toward

Gandalf who sprawled back but caught Frodo neatly in his arm . The Balrog was coming closer

and the whips were dangerously close , the arrows did not stop pouring down but lessen a little ,

for Legolas was ready with his arrows as well and shooting at the orcs high up in the wall that

surrounding them . Serena was about to jump when suddenly the bridge collapse under them .

she and Aragorn clung to the step with dear life as the bridge sunk down ward toward the

darkness .

" Serena , Aragorn ! " Frodo cried , tears in his eyes as he watched them clung to the steps and

hang limply in the air .

" Ferios ! " Serena cried out aloud and her words echoes and magnify larger and larger until

the company have to cover their ears . Frodo watched in dismays , they were too far away and

the Balrog was coming toward them . " Serena , Aragorn ! " Sam too also cried and Merry and Pippin

also . Suddenly there was a bright flash of light that blind their eyes for a moment . When they

open their eyes again they saw that Serena and Aragorn was not hanging anymore on the steps

in fact they were gone ! The bridge has collapsed and dissapear into the darkness . The balrog , howled

furiously and slashed it's whip to every direction in fury . The gaps were too wide for any beast , man

or any creature to cross . " Serena ! " Frodo cried again , " Aragorn ! " Legolas cried too .

Then there was a voice behind them , smooth as silk . " Hurry , idiot . " they spun around in

surprise and they saw that Serena and Aragorn was standing couple paces away behind them .

She was panting and there was beads of sweats on her forehead . Aragorn too was panting with

breath but stood taller than Serena , " Hurry ! " Gandalf ran past the surprised company and

joined them . Serena waited for the four hobbits and took Frodo 's hands in hers and half

drag him to the exit gate .

They open the gate and fresh air fill their lungs with such sweetness that it was seductive .

It was chilly cold , and they saw that they were out in the bottom of a snowy mountain . The sun

was dim and were leaning heavily to the west . Exhausted as they were they did not stop , Aragorn

ran with full speed with Legolas following him , Gandalf holding his hat , Boromir and Serena

who still half drag Frodo who hold Sam's hand and half drag him too . Merry and Pippin were

with Gimli , panting for breath and sweating despite the chilly weather .

" Hurry ! By nightfall this land will swarm with orcs ! " Aragorn cried to them . So they ran

on until they could see a thick forest ahead of them . They entered the forest and Aragorn

slowed to a walking pace . " In Lothorien we will be protected by the lady of the wood . " he said feeling

relieved . The company were just about to stop when they suddenly heard strings being drawn from

all around them . They froze and did not move , except for their eyes who darted wildly to the elves

pointing the arrows at them .

" Well . Well . Who's this ? "
