Disclaimer: I own nothing, I am but a poor student, who lives off beans on toast. Suing me would be pointless... unless you want to deprive me of my beans on toast. However, I have recently been informed that I belong to myself, and all the other members of The Fellowship Of The Fangirls belong to me aswell - including my sister! Cool huh? I actually *own* something! Uhm, dont sue and take them off me?

Authors Notes & Warnings: Shameless self insertion, along with some other people (e.g, my sister, Ivy). Rated PG for possible swearing, and rabid fangirls. Flame if you wish, but flames will just be used to cook my beans on toast. Also, it's based on the movie.

Extra Notes: Again, this chapter steals, uhm, borrows straight from the movie. Some of the phrases I use may be wrong, and I might have the wrong characters saying saying them... but who cares? It's fiction!

Chapter 7

******

As you know, we're in Moria, and we're following the Fellowship Of The Ring. Even though I really dont like caves, I have to admit that Moria is quite impressive - the pillars holding the ceiling up, the archetecture... it's all really beautiful... but still too dark for my liking. I kept my bow drawn and at the ready as we made our way through the great hall.

The Hobbits seemed quite impressed too, and kept repeating the words "Woah!" "Damn!" and "Huuuuge!"

Celarwen, Candra and Chare were also admiring the archetecture, but also kept their eyes out just incase some nasty creatures came out of no-where.

Nalin just walked on with a smug look on her face. Her smug look turned to worry however, as Gimli took off and ran into a room and began to cry.

Us girls waited outside as the guys gathered in the room, and Gandalf read the inscription on the tomb, before picking up a journal and reading the final entry.

"They are coming," he read, "They are here!"

Just then, Pippin knocked a skeleton down a well at the other side of the room. Everyone cringed as the sound of the skeleton crashing off the walls echoed around the mines.

"Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!" Gandalf was pissed off, that much was clear to anyone - even Chare seemed a little taken back by Gandalf's outburst.

Then the drums started.

Everyone looked at eachother, fear and panic evident in everyone's faces. The guys quickly moved to block the door. Making my move quickly, I ran through the door, and said "Hey, mind if we join you?"

The Hobbits, Gandalf, Gimli and Boromir looked at us with a "who the heck are you?" expression etched across their faces, Aragorn paled and looked as if he were going to throw up, where as Legolas just smiled and said, "Sure, get your weapons ready!"

Boromir moved to close the door, only to miss being hit by a couple of arrows by inches. He looked down the corridor at where the arrows had came from, and quickly moved back, and slammed the door shut.

"They have a cave troll" he said as he motioned for Aragorn to help him baricade the door.

Aragorn then told the Hobbits to go and stand with Gandalf as he, Boromir, Legolas, Celarwen, Candra and me took up positions, bows and swords at the ready in a semi-circle around the door.

Gimli jumped up onto the tomb, and shouted "Let the come!" And so, they did.

The door burst open, letting in loads of orcs. Immediately, they were showered with arrows, and slashed by swords. The Hobbits didnt stay with Gandalf for long, as all 8 of them took up their swords, and charged headlong into the fray.

We were doing quite well until the cave troll came into the room. Everything stopped, and we looked up at the gigantic creature. You could actually hear a couple of gulps coming from the Hobbits.

Legolas took aim and fired an arrow, and then all hell broke loose. Both Legolas and I worked together, firing arrows with our bows, and stabbing orcs with our daggers, hopping around the room avoiding blows from the troll.

Celarwen and Candra worked back to back, the swordstresses working well together fighting off the orcs that dared approach them.

Ivy and Bramblerose seemed oblivious to what was going on, and were drooling over Frodo and Merry. "This is neither the time, nor the place girls!" I yelled, still firing my arrows, "Pick up your swords and get to work, before I come over there and make you!"

I assume Ivy and Bramblerose got the message, as the next time I looked over at them they were fighting some orcs.

I looked up in time to see Legolas climb up onto the cave troll, and fire an arrow at point blank range into the creatures head. Ouch!

He jumped down quickly as the creature was disorientated, and took up his position next to me and began firing relentlessly at the Orcs who were approaching Pippin, Merry, Sam, Ivy, Bramblerose, Elanor and Ruby.

I looked around for Frodo, and saw that he was cornered by the cave troll. I tried my best to make my way over there, stabbing Orcs who dared block my path. Frodo cried out for Aragorn, and he quickly made his way over. Unfortunately, the cave troll appeared to have taken a disliking to Aragorn, and knocked him out.

It happened in what seemed like slow motion - the spear that had been wielded by Aragorn against the troll, had now been reposessed by the creature itself, and stabbed into the young Ringbearer. Everything slowed to a standstill as Frodo cried out in pain.

Then the Hobbits looked at eachother, and jumped onto the beast roaring with anger.

Note to self: dont get Hobbits angry.

I started to fire at the beast, while making my way toward Frodo, trying to see if he were still alive or not. Finally, Legolas fired an arrow into the creatures mouth, and through it's skull, killing it. Had I not been preoccupied with my concern for Frodo, I would have congratulated him on the kill.

I reached Frodo, and slumped down infront of him. His eyes were open, and he was gasping for air. I lifted him up slowly.

He appeared to be fine. Boromir seemed shocked.

"That spear would have skewered a wild boar!" he cried out.

Gandalf looked thoughtful, and then smiled, "I think there's more to this than meets the eye."

Frodo opened up his shirt to reveal the Mithril vest.

I smiled, "Mithril huh?"

He nodded and smiled. Then Ivy pounced on him. "I'm sooooo glad you're alive - I was so worried, and scared, oh yeah, definately scared..." she began babbling on, every other sentance asking if he was okay. Celarwen and Candra finally pulled her off him, and held her with her feet dangling 10 inches off the ground. I grabbed Frodo's hand and pulled him up to his feet.

"We have to get moving," Aragorn said.

"I agree, it's not safe here," Legolas added.

"Come on then!" I yelled, heading out the door.

Everyone followed quickly, and we soon broke into a run as we realised we were surrounded by Orcs.

"Aiya, sina naa n'quel..."[1] I said looking around.

Suddenly, at the end of the hall, a red glow appeared. And then, all the orcs ran away screaming.

"Sai n'quel!"[2] I cried again. I'd always been taught that when the scary things get scared, you run like hell. Why werent we running already?
