Chapter 12: Madeleine Keir
Madeleine looked up at the screen, longing plain in her eyes. RoeInn noticed this and smiled.
I could…make her a hobbit and send her there to disrupt the hobbit's treachery…
RoeInn blocked the thought before it began to appeal to him.
Angela stood there, staring into Legolas eyes, and saw the one thing she hated: love. The elf loved her. Pebbles tumbling down from above alerted her to Frodo's spyings. She cursed, and began climbing. "Frodo! Come back, Frodo!"
Legolas sighed. So close, and yet so far. Another moment and our lips would have met. Legolas smiled at the thought, but climbed after her.
Gandalf smiled, and creating a strong wind, cast a spell, entrapping it in the palantirs, but even the globes couldn't contain the destructive power, and…
CRACK! PHHT! HWOOSH! BANG! The palantirs in RoeInn's room began breaking.
RoeInn desperately cast around for the maiden who could help him. "Madeleine! Get over here!"
The girl came readily. "Yes, master?" RoeInn prepared a hole into deeper earth. "Hurry, and get me some tree sap from Adrian's sycamores."
Madeleine nodded, and took an elven cloak stolen years before by her master, and her moccasins, found in higher earth, and looked at RoeInn expectantly. The man had his lips pursed, but nodded. "Nearly invisible, and with those shoes, the sound in deeper earth will hide your approach even from prince Legolas. Go quickly, young one, and bring back what I need to defeat my enemy, and destroy Middle Earth!"
Madeleine nodded, excitement flowing through her. Gandalf, the white wizard Gandalf, had appeared to her last night, telling her that helping Angela and Frodo would save middle earth.
Frodo ran blindly, out of the safeness of the place he'd left. He heard Angela's footfalls, but ignored them and kept running.
What neither of them knew was that her determination was making her short again.
Angela finally caught up to him, and she put her arms around his neck, and as she was slightly shorter, closed her eyes, and lifted her feet up. Like she had thought, Frodo groaned, and stumbled. Legolas caught up with them, and picked the pair up. He smiled at Angela. "You know, you still are as stubborn as you were when you were determined to kill yourself on mount doom!"
Madeleine trembled, but set her bow, and aimed for the orc that had somehow evaded Legolas's notice. She struck it in the back, and it howled, dropping it's weapon at Legolas' heels. They were surrounded, but from Madeleine's current position, she couldn't be hit. The ledge she was in allowed her to shoot out blindly or risk death by aiming.
Legolas looked up, seized the situation, and shoved the two hobbits in a small hollow in the stone. Angela raised her fist in anger, but when it was grazed by an arrow and bled, Frodo pulled it down. They got in a heated argument about whether they should sit there and wimper or go out and get themselves killed. As Angela was significantly smaller than Frodo in this version of hobbit-hood, she fought with him, but didn't go out.
A/N: Wow, is this thing finally coming to a close? Can I do such a thing? Hm..let me think about it some more.
