"Gandalf! Gandalf!" Eloijah sits up suddenly. "Oh, it was only a dream."
"Are you alright, Mr Frodo?" Sam asks, getting up also.
"Yes," Eloijah says. "I just had a nightmare."
"We'd better get going then," Sam says. "Wake Helen up, will you."
Eloijah wakes Helen, and they all begin to walk.
"This is boring," Eloijah says after about half an hour.
"The scenery's good though," Helen says. "Although it looks kinda familiar..."
"That's because we've been here before! We're going round in circles! We'll never get to Mordor at this rate!"
They all sit down and Eloijah has some water. "What's there left to eat?" he asks Sam.
"Hmmm, let me see," says Sam, pulling out some things from his bag. "Bread... bread... and, oh, look at this- MORE bread."
"Big choice, really," says Eloijah, as Sam passes around the bread.
"Urgh," says Helen. "This stuff is gross!"
"Yeah," Sam agrees. "But it's all we have."
"Dammit," says Eloijah. "So we have to live off this stuff for the rest of the journey?"
"Dunno," says Sam, cheerfully. "Depends if we find anything better."
"The thing that really throws me about you, Samwise Gamgee, is that you're always so Erudamn cheerful!"
"Well, there's not much point being sad, is there now?" says Sam, shrugging.
"Hey, I wonder where everyone is now," says Helen, suddenly. "I hope they're alright."
"I'm sure they are," says Eloijah, getting ready to get up and walk again.
But, little did he know that they're not, because, meanwhile, Mariam, Pippin, Merry, Helen M, Ceara and Annalise have all been captured by orcs.
The orcs have finally put them down on some grass, but Pippin and Merry's hands have been tied together.
"Why didn't they tie OUR hands together?" Ceara wonders out loud, cutting the rope around Pippins hands, while Mariam cuts Merry's rope.
"Never mind that," says Annalise, impatiently. "How are we going to escape?"
"I dunno," says Mariam. "Oh, I wish Orli were here, he'd know what to do!"
"Err, do you remember what he did?" says Merry, as Pippin stifles a laugh.
Mariam frowns, trying to remember.
Merry watches her, grinning. "Let us help you," he says. "This 'hero' had just heard some orcs coming and what did he do?"
"Legged it," says Pippin. "Some hero..."
"Did he really do that?" Ceara asks, astonished.
"No, of course he didn't!" says Mariam. "He would never do that! He's too brave!"
"Hmmm," says Merry. "If you really think that..."
"Yeah, I do," says Mariam. "Anyway, what are we going to do now? We need to get away!"
Pippin quickly looks over at the orcs, who are arguing. "We could, y'know, quietly sneak away."
"OK," Annalise whispers. "But get down, and crawl!"
They begin to quietly crawl away, but a real ugly orc spots them. "Hey! Why don't we eat them?" he says, leering unpleasantly.
"NO!" growls another ugly orc. "THEY ARE NOT FOR EATING!"
Merry wipes his forehead with his hand and Pippin looks very relieved. Helen M nudges him to go, and they start moving again. Uh oh, BIG mistake- the ugly orc sees them...
Meanwhile, Melissa, Juliet, Maria and Arwen are still lost in the Elijah Wood. There aren't any orcs left because they've all been killed, so Juliet, Melissa and Maria are all playing Spin the Bottle with Melissa's bus pass.
After about half an hour, in which they've found out that Juliet actually has a house in Scotland, Melissa fancies Sean Bean, Anne Robinson is gay, Maria collects stamps, and Melissa wants to kill Clare.
"Speaking of Clare," says Juliet. "Where is she?"
Maria looks panic-stricken. "Isn't she with Arwen?"
"No," says Juliet, looking concerned.
"Then where is she??!"
Melissa stands up. "We should try to find her," she says.
In truth, Clare has joined Saruman in his attempt to destroy Middle Earth, because she was bored living an honest life.
"Err... Where shall we look first?" says Maria, nervously.
"Well, if you were Clare, where would you go?" says Juliet, pointedly.
"I'm not sure," says Melissa. "Come on, let's go."
Meanwhile, Eloijah, Sam and Helen T have set down to sleep for the night, but Gollum is creeping down the rocks, saying, "They stoles it from us! THEY STOLES IT FROM US! My preciousssssss..." He reaches out and tries to steal the ring from the chain around Eloijah's neck, when suddenly all three of them wake up.
"HEY!" Sam shouts. "GET OFF HIM! GET OFF!" as Gollum tries to kill Eloijah. There's a big fight in which Sam beats Eloijah up (by mistake), and then Gollum is put on a dog's leash.
"Let me go!!" screams Gollum. "LET ME GO!"
Eloijah looks at him. "Now I see him," he says to Helen and Sam. "I do pity him."
"OK, whatever," says Helen, ruining the moment as always. "Can we just get going, I'm freezing!"
Sam looks at her, evilly.
"What?"
"No, she does have a point, Sam," says Eloijah, trying to keep a grip on Gollum's leash. "You will show us the way to Mordor," he then says to Gollum.
Gollum whimpers.
"You do KNOW the way, don't you?"
"Oh yes!! We has been there many times! We will show Master the way!"
Meanwhile, Gimli and Aragorn have been running along the cliff tops. Then they hear galloping hooves and they see loads of horses.
Aragorn recognises the people.
"People of Rohan!" he shouts. The horses come and encircle them. Then they both find spears being pointed in their faces.
Aragorn raises a hand. "We are friends of your king. We are here to help."
"Err, Aragorn?" Gimli says.
"Not now!" Aragorn answers, brushing him away.
"But..."
"NOT NOW!" Aragorn continues talking to Eomor, the guy with the weird helmet.
Gimli looks over, at the figure emerging on the horizon.
"You may use these horses," Eomor says to Aragorn, whistling over to horses. "But where is the elf? Legolas? Surely he must be with you?"
"No, he's not," says Aragorn, who has not yet read the books, and so doesn't know what's going on. "Why?"
"He is supposed to be with you," says Eomor, frowning.
"Anyway, have you seen any Hobbits?" Aragorn asks.
"Nope," says Eomor. "We killed lots of orcs though!" he grins widely.
Aragorn's eyes widen. "Erudammit! The Hobbits will have been with orcs. W- where are the corpses?"
"Over there," Eomor says, pointing. "But we have to go now, time is money, come on people!" All the horses ride off.
Gimli is still watching the figure, which is slowly coming nearer. Gimli begins to get very scared. It reminds him slightly of Men In Black.
Aragorn watches them ride off and then says "Now. What is it, Gimli?"
"There's- there's a guy stalking us... over there," Gimli answers, nervously, pointing.
Aragorn looks over to where he's pointing, but Stalker Guy... is gone.
