She stopped at a small bush that was no bigger than 4 feet. She leaned on
the side trying not to be seen. She looked ahead at the gates where, thank
god, the fellowship was still standing. She thought quickly, how was she to
get over there and not be seen? Her couldn't think, and after that, the
gates where opened and the fellowship walked out. It was now or never, she
had to come up with something and fast. Was it run past and be seen and
sent back? Or hide and then run for it? Her mind was finally made. She
would wait and then run for the gates whenever one was gone. At least then
she couldn't be seen.
She watched as the gates shut and the men walked away. It was now or never. She jumped form the bush and quickly tiptoed to the gates. She pulled on them, but they wouldn't move, nor open. She looked around for another way out. There was not another way past, or at least what she could see. She looked around at every thing. She looked at the tall walls and thought. What if she could climb over them? But it was impossible; she was too small for it. But then she got an idea when she was the tall tree standing next to it. She made a small grin and ran up to the tree and jumped up grabbing the lowest branch and swinging up over top of it so she could climb the next. Up and up she went, till she had gotten to the point where she could climb over the wall. She had to make a jump in order to make it to the wall. She grabbed onto the edge of the wall and climbed over the wall, till she reached the top. She looked down at the jump, took and deep breathe, and jumped down to the ground. She hit the ground on her knees and picked herself up to her feet. She looked over ahead at the long walk, and somewhere out there was the fellowship.
She didn't want to waste time, so she took off with a run. Running forever, or as it seemed, she thought to herself, "Man! How far did they go?!" She kept running without thinking of what she'd do when she bumped into them. Although she knew it wouldn't be long before she did.
She finally just stopped dead in her tracks and thought, "I must have gone the wrong way, I would have met up with them by now." She looked up ahead of her; there was a giant hill, at least 10 feet tall. She thought, once again, if they weren't over this hill she didn't know what she'd do. She took with a deep breath and ran for it. She jogged up the hill, faster and longer each time. She jumped up to the top and looked down at the bottom, nothing. She let out a sigh and started to turn back, when she slipped and fell down the hill. She flipped down the hill at great speed. Her skin had cuts everywhere from hitting rocks and sticks on the way down. She thought she'd never stop when she hit some thing, or some one. She heard the person yell out with pain as they hit some else, then another, and another, and another till they had hit at least nine people all together.
One by one, the people got up, they all looked at each other, asking what had happened. When the last one got up they all looked down at a small girl, the size of the hobbits, but human she was for sure.
"Um, hey guys, wuzz up?" she said looking up at them with an almost frighten look.
"You again?" said Boromir.
"Oh, so you guys do remember me, huh?" Carrie said folding her arms.
"I thought we left you at Rivendell?" said Aragorn.
"Well dah! But did cha really think I'd stay there?" Said Carrie looking at them all at once.
"Why are you following us?" asked Sam.
"Cause.....um....I, ah......" Carrie didn't know what to say. What could she say? That she was some weird little kid that wanted to be apart of this? Like they'd by it!
"Do you not know the answer to your quest?" asked Boromir.
"I um......" Carrie still couldn't think, they were all looking at her, how could she? She had to come up with something. So she said the first thing they came to her mind. "I was sent here."
"Sent here? By who?" asked Boromir.
"I donno, but it must have been for a good reason, maybe I'm supposed to do something." Carrie answered.
"How can that be so? You are nothing but a child?" said Boromir.
"Hey I didn't say I was a worrier or any thing!" Carrie said giving Boromir a dirty look.
"Child, you must be mistaken. You must have ended up here on a mistake, they must have meant to send some one else." said Gandalf.
"I wish that was true. But I'm afraid that even if I was sent her by mistake, I still can't get back." Carrie spoke.
"And why is that?" asked Gandalf.
Carrie made a small wine sound and then spoke with a sad voice, "Cause I don't know how!"
Every one looked down at her as if she had just said the dumbest thing ever! Which in a way was true.
"I'm serious!" she said stomping her foot on the ground hard.
"Alright, we believe you child." Gandalf said.
"Shall we take her back?" asked Gimli.
"No, it's too far and it would we'd lose more time." said Gandalf. "She shall have to come with us."
Carrie jumped up and down after he had said this. Finally! The adventure she'd been waiting for! With that, the fellowship, and Carrie, went on with their quest. Carrie seemed to have always been near the front, or pretty much wherever Lagolas was. And through most of the journey she never would shut up, and was always asking questions.
They had come to somewhere far up in the mountains. Boromir was teaching Pippin and Merry how to use a sword. Carrie on the other hand was off some where on a giant rock up high, so she could see over everywhere.
She looked over the land, from left to right. It was quiet, too quiet, almost too quiet to drive her nuts! She started to get a little bored just sitting up on a rock looking at the same thing over and over. See looked over to where Legolas was standing, doing the same as her, but he was standing looking over the land and making sure it was safe. Carrie could help but really like this guy more than every one else, al though she seemed to have before she met him in life. He some how reminded her of herself, almost like a cat is what she'd heard people say about him, people had said the same about her too.
She'd just love it if she could be JUST like him. See far away, know when something is near. It would be so cool. Plus she'd be able to use a bow and arrow.
She sat there day dreaming and looking at him, not moving them at all, but she stopped when he turned and every one started to hide behind rocks and trees. She opened her eyes in shock. What was going on? She looked up when she heard a loud cry, like a giant crow almost. She looked up at the sky and saw giant black birds, like crows. She leaned back and then slipped off her rock. She flipped into a bush, almost not able to be seen, it was good too, or she'd be in trouble, big trouble!
She grabbed her legs and held them half way over her eyes, She watched from her stop as the birds flew by, crying out a loud annoying noise as they did. Her eyes stayed on the birds until they had all flown past. She peeked her head out of the bush after they had all flown by. She watched and looked at the bird with a weird look. She finally walked out of the bush and looked around, at that point every one had come out and were doing the same as her.
"Gee, thanks for the help guys." She said looking back at them.
"We seemed to have forgotten about the child." said Boromir.
"Would you stop calling me that? My name's Carrie! Not child!" Carrie said yelling, but not loud enough for the birds to hear from where they were now.
"We are very sorry about that." said Legolas looking over at Carrie.
Carrie made another weak smile and her eyes closed half way almost as if she was day dreaming, "Oh, that's ok." she shook her head as if coming out from her day dream. "What where those things Gandalf?"
"They might have been spies from Saruman." said Gandalf looking up into the sky.
Carrie looked up as well, but couldn't see the birds any more, and thank God for that too, cause she really didn't want to see them again!
Gandalf stopped looking up at the sky and started to speak.
"Come! We most go." he said.
Carrie looked away from the sky and took one more look at the land. Then she turned her back and followed after the fellowship, right behind Pippin.
Forever they walked. Over hills, rocks, and so on, till they had reached the giant snowy mountains. Legolas was in near the front, Gandalf also. Carrie was in the back behind Aragorn. She had no coat with her at the time, so she was as cold as the icy wind. Frodo was in front of Aragorn, Boromir in front of Frodo. Carrie looked up at Frodo, who was bending to his knees frizzing. From this he fell back rolling, but Aragorn caught him when he came close to him. Boromir turned and looked down at them. He walked down to them and picked up the ring, which was now tied to a chain. He looked at it with amazement. Carrie looked up when Aragorn had stopped. She looked up at Boromir, she didn't like the way he was staring at the ring, it almost seemed like he was going to run off with it. She was just about to run up there and grab it form him when he spoke. What he was saying, she couldn't really tell, but she was glad that he handed the ring back to Frodo.
Frodo walked on, and Aragorn by his side. Carrie walked on as well, but still she was fizzing her butt off. Aragorn looked back at her. He stopped and walked down to her till he was just about face to face with her.
"Here." he said handing her a long, dark green cloak. "This should keep you warm."
Carrie took the cloak and wrapped it around her. "Thanks."
Aragorn smiled and turned walking back with Frodo. Carrie cupped her hands together in a giant fist and blew on them, trying to warm them up a little. She did this every five minutes or so, though she got dizzy always blowing like that. Her long jeans were now as hard as rocks, barely able to move at all. She walked faster so she could get up next to Aragorn and Frodo.
"Hi." she said walking next to Aragorn. She looked over to the ring around Frodo's neck. "So, who'd dah thought that little ring could be the end for us all."
Frodo looked back at her, he looked like he was going to say something. "Your home, what is it like?"
"What you mean the U.S.?" Carrie said looking up at him. "Well, it's ok, in a way. There's things that are cool, and then the things that just drive me nuts and make me wanna do somethin' 'bout 'em."
"Like what?"
"Well, like, wasting things, or pickin' on people cause there different." Carrie answered.
Their talk went on and on, till they had come a small edge high up in the mountains. Carrie looked down below, her eyes in shock from how high they were, but she kept walking until she had suddenly bombed into Aragorn's back. She got up to his side but trying very hard to stay clear away from the edge.
"What's goin' on?" she asked Aragorn, looking up at him.
"We've stopped." he said.
Carrie looked ahead of them, Gandalf was now in front, he was mumbling something very low to himself. She tried to make out what he was saying. She couldn't tell, if only she was closer. She sat in wonder but soon stopped when the mountains began to shake, and snow flew down from above them. Carrie let out a loud scream as the snow hit her.
Carrie sat under the snowy bridge a small ball. This was it! She had been thrown into some strange world, fell down a giant hill, froze her butt off, and now this! That was the last straw. With her small wet hand she made a fist and with all that anger she throw her fist hard into the snow and broke through a hole. Then she took her foot and smashed it into the snow as well. Pretty soon, she had made a big enough hole to brake out of. She looked around and watched as the men rose from the snow. One by one they rose, when they had all gotten up Gandalf spoke.
"We must decide, we go on, or we take the way through Moria."
"Moria?" Carrie asked turning to Aragorn.
"The caves." he answered.
Carrie opened her eyes in shock. "Caves? You mean as if in dark, drippy, wet, spooky, CAVES?"
Aragorn nodded.
"Oh, great." Carrie said with a frightened look. She turned and faced the front where Gandalf was standing. "Gandalf!" she ran up to him till she was side by side with him. "We can't go through Moria. I hate caves!"
"If we stay here we'll die from the cold and the ice. What if there's another avalanche?" said Boromir walking up as well, till he was side by side with Carrie.
"Well, I'm NOT going into ANY CAVE!" Carrie yelled.
"Maybe we should let the ringbairer decide." said Boromir.
They all turned to Frodo. Carrie watched as he thought for a while, biting his lip has he chose. "Please don't say Moria" Carrie thought in her head. But her mouth dropped open when Frodo made his choice.
"We shall go through Moria." he said.
Carrie looked back at Gandalf. Gandalf took a deep sigh then spoke.
"Then let us go." then he looked down at Carrie with a "I'm sorry" face. And he walked. Carrie sat in silence watching them leaped down the mountain, till some one put their hand on her shoulder. Of course it none other than Legolas. He looked down at her and then spoke.
"Come, we must follow." he said.
Carrie grinned a little and followed after him.
******************************************
They had a long walk before they came to Moria. Carrie looked around the land. It was dark out and Carrie had tripped over a few rocks because she couldn't see too well. She walked up a side of Aragorn and Frodo again, but this time she didn't say a word, she was too weak and tired to talk much.
Finally, after hours, they had reached the opening. Carrie looked up at the design on the giant doors. She found it a little pretty in a way. She turned and sat down on a rock next to the door and watched as Gandalf spoke. She had no idea what it was he was saying, he was speaking another language that was from this strange place she had ended up in. She thought that right when he had said that the doors would open, but they didn't even move. Carrie sighed and fell back on the ground almost falling asleep from how tired she was.
Minutes later, the doors still hadn't been open. Carrie had moved around a couple times, once and a while she would have fallen to the ground and took a five minute nap in the dirt, but some one would help her back up to her feet. Finally she took a spot back on the rock she had been sitting on when they got there. Frodo was now sitting next to her.
Carrie took a long, loud, breath then leaned back a little. She shut her eyes and tried to dream about her warm home, but she stopped when Frodo asked her a question.
"What are you to do when you return home?" he asked.
Carrie opened her eyes and looked at him. "I'm gonna eat 10 slices of pizza and go to sleep for five weeks." she said not even smiling.
Frodo gave her a weird look, she couldn't help but smile, "I'm only joking." she finally said. She looked over Gandalf who was still trying to open the doors. Finally he just gave up and walked away. Carrie got an idea, she turned and looked at Frodo again, "Hey, do you think you can get that?"
Frodo looked at her and then got up. He walked over to the doors and looked up at them. The doors where five times taller, or more, than him. He said what it was Gandalf kept saying. Carrie watched and waited to see what would happen. To her surprise the doors opened.
Carrie stood up in shock, "Finally." she said walking up behind Frodo. All the men walked inside, Gandalf in the front. When they walked in it was dark, Carrie couldn't see a thing, but when she walked in she hit a rock and fell forward. She hit the ground, closing her eyes. She opened them and found herself face to face with a skeleton head. She screamed with fright and jumped up from the ground, breathing hard.
Legolas walked over and bent down to the skeleton. Aragorn and the rest of them ran over to her.
She watched as the gates shut and the men walked away. It was now or never. She jumped form the bush and quickly tiptoed to the gates. She pulled on them, but they wouldn't move, nor open. She looked around for another way out. There was not another way past, or at least what she could see. She looked around at every thing. She looked at the tall walls and thought.
