Hey there! How's it going? Well it still ain't mine and here's the next chapter...

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?

I landed on a conveniently placed pile of hay. I thanked my lucky stars. For once it seemed that luck was on my side, mainly because I didn't seem remotely injured. I got up and looked around for Thingaladion. I saw him as he rounded a corner of the Palace disappearing from my sight.

I noticed that my bag with all my supplies had suddenly appeared at my feet. Grabbing it and throwing the strap over my shoulder I started off after Thingaladion. "Tally Ho!" I cried. The chase was on.

***

Thingaladion seems to want to lose me, I noted as he dashed into yet another building.

"Hey!" I shouted as I dived in after him. "This ain't 'Point Break' y'know! And I'm not James Bond either! Dammit!"

Thingaladion ignored me and continued running.

Eventually he must have realised that there was no way he was going to lose me on foot. So he decided to try something a little different. So he made for the stables and seconds after entering he rode off on his horse.

"Unfair! Unfair!" I said. "Dammit! Bollocks! Balls! Fuck! Fuck! Shit! Bloody Buggery Bollocks! Damn! Blast! THAT'S CHEATING YOU EVIL MURDERING BASTARD!" I hollered after Thingaladion as he vanished in the distance. I gave a very big sigh of resignation and made my way into the stables.

"Nice horsey... Yeeeesss. Nice horsey. Who's a pretty boy then?" I said nervously to the horse that stood in front of me.

The horse viewed me with disdain as I glanced around looking for something to ride the horse with. And then I remembered.

"Oh balls. Elvish fucking horse. Bare back riding. Oh hell." I gave another sigh and then put my hope into the horse. "Ok mr horse, here's the deal. I need to catch Thingaladion cos he stabbed Veborion. To do this I need to ride you. And I can't ride. So you're gonna have to help me ok?"

The horse just looked at me.

"Well, here goes." I muttered as I attempted to mount up.

I managed it.

And then I looked down. The ground seemed an awful long way to fall down to. I gulped as I tried to get comfortable, but my horse obviously wasn't having any of that and set off after Thingaladion. And somewhere inside me I wondered if I had managed to make yet another colossal mistake.

Idiot.

Sorry - this one's short. Many many thanks for the reviews. Much love going out to you all. Will I survive my horse? Will I catch up with Thingy? And if I do what will I do to him? And more importantly what will he do to me? R&R please!

'Point Break' - you ALL know this film. With one of the best chase scenes in any film ever. And Keanu Reeves looking DAMN sexy. *drool*

James Bond - you ALL know who he is too. And with at least one chase scene per film. And Sean Connery. *drool*
