Aragorn wanted to see Isengard and that was fine with me. We gazed upon the rock of Orthanc and I nearly fell into a slime covered pool which populated most of the gross land around me .
I spotted Theoden , Gandalf and the riders coming towards us anyways. The Fellowship went to meet them but I stayed behind at the steps. " Get away from the door , go sit by Merry and Pippin." Gandalf ordered. That was nice , after all I'd been through. I stuck out my tongue and went to sit at the base of the stairs.
Much I didn't want to listen to , but a smooth almost silky voice invaded my ears. It seemed to penetrate my thoughts
* You should have been mine* .
I tried to block it out.
* I know where you come from , what would you give to go back?*
Everything or almost save for my friends I thought.
* If you would just take my hand , I will send you back*
No , nonononono. But I was already up and climbing the stairs to the ominous door. Everyone else seemed to be in a dream , even Gandalf had a dazed expression on his face. Nononononono I won't go in there. No one made a move to stop my unwilling body. I was pushing the door open , stepping inside the cool blackness into peril.
* Good , good *
A hand yanked me the rest of the way inside. I was snapped out of the spell and I had only myself to blame for falling to his will. I was staring into the face of the supposed Grima , who promptly flung me to the floor. I scrambled up , running for the door across from me.
* Foolish child , did you think you could stop me? *
A globe of black glass was across from me in the opposing room. I made a dash for it and pulled the globe off its stand.
* Give it child*
NO , I thought back, Is it something you want ?
* Give it*
And the smooth voice turned nasty. A figure in white blocked the door and I crashed into him. He grabbed my shoulders, digging nails into me . I twisted away still holding onto the globe of dark crystal. For a distraction , I slammed it into Grima's head. Hahaha. Blood was now splattered on it.Ew. Anyways , Saruman was after me and boy, was he fast for an old dude. I undid the bolt and ran out into the half sunshine throwing the crystal back over my shoulder at him.
The Fellowship and co. were immediately aware of what was going on.
Gandalf gave Saruman a good tongue lashing and Theoden was peeved. Gandalf broke his staff which sounded really dirty in my mind . Saruman nanced inside like the molester he was . Gandalf grumbled a few words about
" Binding , dragging , near ravaging of a child ."
Something was thrown out after us , nearly hitting Gandalf in the head. It was the globe of crystal and it was rolling away to one of the pools. Pippin ran after it and picked it up , only to have it pulled away by Gandalf.
" I'll take that , my lad." No thank you at all. Honestly , wizards have no manners.
We walked back to the entrance of the gate, and Ents were gathered there as well. Treebeard said his goodbyes to Merry and Pippin , very touching. Big tree , little people. No goodbye for me , Ents have no manners either.
We kicked around a bit longer but around sunset we had to leave. I had no horse and none of the riders would share with me. Stupid gits. They had an extra horse with them , I know it sounds funny but it's true. I suppose they picked this one especially for its mean temper and spitefulness. I couldn't get on a horse even if my life depended on it. Then the horrid beast kicked me! The riders were snickering softly and I bit my tongue to keep from saying something deregatory. Legolas gave me a foot up and I was on the horse .
The only problem was the horse wouldn't move.
" Giddyup."
" Hi-ho Silver?" I sighed. This was not a good day , broken rib , Saruman , now a stupid horse.
One of the riders leaned over and said, " Ride." The horse started off at a canter. I resigned from trying to understand the equinine kind.
