A/N: Okay….got nothing to say, Soooo on with the chapter!
Ch.9
Cahadras
******~*****~****
The fellowship traveled for many days, camping any place they came upon. When they reach a high rocky landscape they stopped for a break. Gandalf was telling Aragon that the quickest way to Modor, was through the Cahadras, a snowy mountain range. In the meantime Boromir was showing Merry and Pippin how to sword fight. Merry was up now and did pretty well.
"Good job, Merry" Pippin said as he went up to practice.
"Thank you."
When Pippin was doing well Merry told him so, and Pippin turned to his friend to thank him when Boromir accidentally nicked Pippins hand with his sword.
"Ouch!" Pippin cried as he started kicking Boromir in the shin.
"Sorry." Boromir apologized but it didn't matter.
Merry helped his friend out and they soon knocked Boromir down. Boromir chuckled. Adela had seen this and started laughing so hard she fell of the rock she was placed on. Frodo laughed when Adela fell off the rock. Sam laughed as well. It took everyone awhile to calm down from there laughing fit. But something else drew there attention, a cloud drew near to them, or it looked like a cloud.
"That's not a cloud, its moving to fast." Legolas called to everyone.
"Birds…" Gandalf whispered.
"Hide!" Aragon yelled to everyone.
Adela rolled under a rock, Merry&Pippin as well hid under a rock. Legolas, Aragon, Boromir and Gandalf hid under bushes. While Frodo, Sam, and Gimli, hid in crevasse in the rocks. Adela crawled as far as she could into the rock for the birds she could tell were right above her.
When the birds were past, everyone crawled out of there hiding places. Adela cautiously crawled out from under the rock.
"What was that?..." Adela called to Gandalf
"Birds, birds who are servants to Lord Sauron."
Adela's eyes widened, she knew that was way to close, they had to be careful. Everyone resumed what they had been doing, but were very silent because of the close encounter. Frodo had places his hand over the ring blindly.
"Gandalf, are we to go around the Cahadras or through?" Adela asked
"It's quicker to go through, so I believe we shall go through."
Adela thought of going up the brisk, snowy mountains. She shivered at the thought, but she would go to any limits to help Frodo through the horrible burden.
The fellowship set out for the Cahadras at dawn the next morning. The morning air was icy and not pleasant. They started up the icy slopes, and many times the hobbits fell, from the lack of gracefulness. Adela fell once again, the icy snow stinging her legs. Frodo offered a hand up, but when she took it she slipped again taking Frodo down with her. They both laughed. When they regained footing they continued up the mountain. It started to get colder and icier, Frodo was doing pretty well when he stepped on a patch of ice and rolled down the mountain for a few seconds before Aragon caught him. When Frodo regained footing he reached for his ring, but found nothing. His heart raced. Boromir knelled down and picked up the chain with the ring on it.
"Give the ring to Frodo, Boromir." Aragon demanded
"It is strange that we suffer so, for something so small." Boromir thought as he examined the ring
"Boromir!" Aragon repeated, this time Boromir did so.
He held the ring out to Frodo, Frodo snatched it away. Boromir chuckled and ruffled Frodo's hair. Adela noticed the look in Frodo's eyes, fear and dread, Adela seemed puzzled at Frodo's reaction to even losing the ring for a moment.
They continued up the mountain, it still got colder and the snow began to poor down. Adela stared behind her to see Merry and Pippin trudging behind shivering. Adela unfastened her cloak, though she was cold they seemed much worse. Adela wrapped her cloak around Merry and Pippin the best she could. They would have objected, but were to cold to speak. Frodo noticed this and frowned, but was amazed by her courage.
"The mountain, it's falling apart." Legolas yelled over the whipping snow.
"Gandalf, we must turn back!" Aragon yelled
"No!"
Just then a huge pile of snow from upper ridges came piling down on the fellowship. They were buried in the cold snow. Adela franticly clawed at the snow try to escape its icy hold. The other hobbits were just as scared. When Adela finally got out she was freezing. Soon the other hobbits appeared out of the snow, along with everyone else.
"We cannot go any further, we'll freeze." Aragon said.
"We should go through the Mines of Moria." Gimli called
Legolas paled. "I wish never to go through those mines."
"Don't take an elf's word." Gimli growled.
"Let the ring bearer decide." Gandalf called
Frodo looked afraid, as if he didn't want to make the wrong choice. But then he looked around at his friends. Merry and Pippin huddled together, Sam rubbing his arms trying to keep warm, and Adela, though she tried to hide it she looked very cold, her lips had gone a bit blue and was visibly shivering. Frodo sighed.
"We shall go through the mines." Frodo declared
"If that's what you say, we shall." Gandalf said, sighing in grief.
Gandalf couldn't hide the fact that he feared the mines. Legolas wasn't happy at all at the ring bearer's choice, but knew it was there only hope now. Everyone staggered to there feet, especially the hobbits that thought there legs would give out with another step. Adela rubbed her hands together seeking warmth. Merry and Pippin did somewhat the same thing. Adela dropped to her knees, 'no, get up. You can't waste time on yourself, your here to help Frodo, no matter what' Adela thought as she pushed herself up to her feet. Frodo noticed this. Adela took a step and nearly fell, but Frodo caught her by the shoulders. Frodo swung her arm over his shoulder and helped support her as they continued down the mountain. Adela felt strange, she knew if she didn't get stronger soon she'd be a set back for the Fellowship. She wouldn't let that happen.
Frodo was worried for Adela, she was killing herself by trying to help us, and 'I in return shall help her' Frodo thought. Frodo was glad Adela was here, she wasn't like most ladies for she was strong, and didn't have the qualities of a lady: She wasn't shy, she could look fear in the eye and not wince, and she would do anything for her friends and not even notice the pain she was going through. Frodo smiled to himself, he was glad to have met someone like her…….TO BE CONTINUED!
A/N: How was that? A little corny, yes. Oh well, reviews! Lots of reviews please! Oh and chapters after this may be a tad bit bloody, just a warning!
