More Orcs. and a Balrog!
The Balrog.WAS HIGH!!
We ran for our very lives. The sound and smell of the orcs were more than I could handle. Cindil's hard breathing filled my ears as we rushed on through the maze of columns. It didn't take long before the hideous creatures surrounded us. I grabbed hold of Cindil's arm and squeezed hard. I hated this part of the movie. Legolas felt the growing fear of his young female companions and knew he must do something. A low growl escaped his throat as the elf prince shielded the girls with his tall form. Then, something happened. The earth shook with a horrible roar and the orcs screamed and scattered. Everyone turned to see what was coming from the far shadows, but Cindil and I were already gone. The fellowship followed and made their way down a small flight of stair, only to find more stairs waiting. We came to a gap half way down and Legolas was the first to jump. Next came Gandalf and then Cindil. I wasn't thrilled about it but, hearing Legolas' cry, I jumped and found myself in his strong arms; the smell of leather and forest was overpowering. Sam was thrown across and Gimli jumped and would have fallen if not for Legolas. Cindil and I scowled at the move made by the elf. Boromir grabbed Merry and Pippin and jumped just as part of the edge broke off. Frodo and Aragorn were still on the other side. The two of them looked scared as a large piece of the rock ceiling fell and trapped them on the island of stairs. The column under the platform they were on broke and began to sway. " Lean forward," I shouted and they did. The platform came forward and the man and hobbit were soon safely across. We finished the stairs and proceeded towards the bridge. Suddenly, the Balrog appeared and a deep, throaty roar escaped him. Cindil made a face and shouted, " Hey, Ugly! Your breath stinks! Ever heard of a ticktack? Take two now and one every thirty seconds for the rest of your LIFE!!" With another roar, the Balrog charged and chased us towards the bridge. Cindil squealed and everyone crossed but Gandalf, who turned to face the fiery beast. " You shall not pass!" he shouted. Unable to resist, Cindil sounded from behind Legolas," Not until I get my donut back!" She giggled and disappeared again as the Balrog stepped out to get Gandalf, but fell as the bridge gave way beneath it. Before he was out of sight, the fiery terror used his whip to catch Gandalf and pull him down. " Fly you fools!" said the wizard as he slipped and was gone. Everyone ran until we were outside, where we collapsed into tears. Legolas held Cindil and I like children, cradling our heads against his shoulder. " Legolas, get them up," said Aragorn, turning to fetch Sam. With a soft kiss each and a few loving words, Legolas had us up and moving. A gentle whicker reached my ear and my head shot up in disbelief. There was Tiny, Ditto and Bill, waiting for us to take the along. Fresh tears filled my eyes as I hugged my beloved mare. Then I gazed skyward and whispered to the heavens," Bless you, Gandalf.God bless you."
A happy reunion with our horses! =P Next chapter, MORE ELVES and a little twist to this Legolas romance. ;) It won't be what you are expecting! Pleaz R&R and you'll get a luv from Leggy! Sorry it's so short!
