Hello. Another chapter. And this isn't mine. No changes there then.
Take A Bow.
I glared at the leader of the creatures as he scowled at me. Amazingly enough he seemed intimidated by my glare, but then I had been taking lessons from that expert of glarers Veborion.
"You shall pay for all the trouble that you have caused!" He declared as he advanced towards me.
I gulped. Glaring is all very well and good, but it doesn't actually do much. And right about now I needed to be doing something. Preferably running away.
Running however, was not an option as I was surrounded by the battle going on around me. It was as though the world around me was moving in slow motion and all that I could focus clearly on was the creature directly in front of me that intended to kill me.
"Right about now, I could do with some serious help." I commented to myself.
And all that changed was the creature took another step towards me.
***
I trembled at the sight of the malevolence that I could see within the creature's eyes. I knew that he was going to kill me and he would not make it quick.
"I could really really do with some help." I muttered as I watched, hypnotised as he gradually came closer and closer. And then I remembered something.
I smirked evilly as he raised his sword ready to strike the first blow. Didn't he know who I was? And more importantly what I was? I decided to tell him.
"Hmmhmm." I cleared my throat to get his attention, fixing him with a gaze that showed only bemusement as opposed to the fear he had seen only seconds before. His sword wavered and remained in the air.
"You do know what I am don't you?" I asked.
"Of course," He sneered. "Fangirl."
To his amazement I laughed. He faltered; wondering whether there was something he should be afraid of or whether I was bluffing.
"Tut tut tut." I said shaking my head at him. "Do you really not know?" I smirked. "I'm not just a fangirl." I paused for dramatic effect and looked him straight in the eye. "I'M A MARY SUE."
The creature looked at me in what can only be described as utter terror, before turning and running away from me as fast as his legs could carry him.
I cackled and then raised my bow languidly taking an arrow from my quiver and slowly taking aim at the creature that had already reached the edge of the forest. I let fly my arrow and it caught the creature's sleeve, effectively pinning him against one of the trees. I took out another arrow and then another until my enemy was pinned to the trees. His arms and legs spread wide thanks to my perfect shots. I grinned. Perhaps there was more fun to this Mary Sue lark than I had previously realised.
***
Finally the battle was over. Once my arrows had stopped the leader, the rest of the creatures soon gave up their fight. The leader was led in chains to the throne room where all the leaders of the kingdoms of Middle Earth sat.
"Whose foul plot was this? Turning our own against us?" Aragorn demanded.
"Why would these creatures attack us?" Thranduil asked.
"What is their purpose?" Eomer questioned.
"Who can explain this to us all?" Wondered Elrond aloud.
The 'Sues' turned as one towards me. Marvellous, I inwardly groaned. One thing I do not want to be is put on the spot in this flipping throne room yet again. I gave a small smile towards the leaders.
"Well?" Demanded Aragorn.
I cleared my throat. "Well here goes nothing." I muttered as I approached. What the heck? Said a small part of my brain. When in doubt fall back on the old classics. "Good idea." I muttered before clearing my throat yet again.
" Well here we go, 'Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears…'"
I trailed off realising I had just confused the room even more than they already were.
Idiot.
