The room was pitch black, no light-giving source ever dared to travel into the depths of Sauron's dungeon. Although the dungeons were usually full of helpless victims, only three now resided in it. The silence was almost as thick as the darkness that surrounded it. Suddenly, they silence was interrupted by a groan.
"W-Wha happened?" a mumble was heard. The person that it belonged to let out another groan. Jo rubbed her eyes to see if she could pick anything out of the darkness. Unfortunately, she couldn't even see her own hand in front of her face. After a few minutes, another groan was heard.
"Ouch..." A second voice mumbled in the darkness.
"Mel?" Jo whispered. She was afraid to talk to loud in the darkness that surrounded her...Of course, other people don't share that fear.
"What the?!" came the third reply from the last being in the room. It seemed that Bean didn't take kindly to being awoken in pure darkness.
"Quiet!" Jo whispered sharply.
"Sorrrrrrrry...." Bean whispered quietly. It was a well-known fact that if Jo (in whatever body) says something to you in that tone of voice, you better heed whatever it was that was spoken.
"Do you guys know where we are?" Mel whispered.
"No...man, I can't see a thing.." Bean whispered as a shuffling was heard.
"I know...there must be some way that we can get some light in here..." Jo pondered.
"I know! I know!" Bean said in a slightly louder than regular voice. Jo said nothing of it though.
"Well, spit it out!" Mel said.
"Remember about the power thing?" She waited for them to nod, then remembered that she couldn't see them, so continued anyways, "Maybe if we focus or something, we could make light."
"Oh sure, and you know exactly how this works?" Jo asked in a dry voice. Bean and Mel might have thought she was close to tears...if they hadn't have known her better.
"No...it was just an idea..." Bean said, a little put off by Jo's reaction.
"I'm just stating the facts. This isn't a video game or a-" she cut herself off as it sunk in what she was about to say. Mel finished it for her, however. "Book. You were going to say 'that this isn't a book.' But you figured it out.this *is* a book..." Mel said, inching along the wall that she had her back against until she felt the soft material of elfish clothes.
"Who's that?" Bean asked, and Mel felt the material slip from her hands as the person who was wearing it began to move away.
"Relax, it's just me!" Mel said. She felt Bean stop moving, and she scooted closer to her. When they were alongside each other, Mel leaned her head on Bean's shoulder. The quiet seemed to go on forever.
"How can you guys just relax like that!?" Jo yelled at last. Bean and Mel just looked at each other, or, rather, where they thought the other would be.
"What do you mean?" Mel whispered.
"What I mean is this: how can two of the three people in the biggest of trouble, be as calm as you?! Sauron could be out there right now, watching us, and all you are going to do is sit there and let him," she paused there, not knowing what to say next...but then a thought came to her, "You both are fools! Stupid, idiotic fools!"
Needless to say, Mel and Bean were quite taken aback. Jo had never said something like that seriously. What could be wrong with her?
"Jo? What do you mean?" Mel was very proud of herself because her voice didn't crack like she thought it would.
"Is that all you can ask?!" Jo shouted.
"There's no need to get angry." Bean said smiling to herself.
"Well, if I'm angry it's your fault!" Jo said, not realizing what she had done. The thought came to her as Mel started cracking up. Her eyes blazed with fire, as she understood, "How Childish can you be?"
"We quote the movie all the time. Why should now be any different?" Bean asked, no emotion in her voice.
"Because I'm stuck with the both of you! Mel, you sing too much for your own good, not to mention others. And you Bean! You hide behind that mask so much, its pathetic!" Jo exclaimed. Her eyes widened, as she fully comprehended what she had said. What was wrong with her?! It seemed that once she had started she couldn't stop, but she shouldn't have even *thought* that, let alone *said* it.
"And you're so much better?" Bean asked quietly. Dangerously quiet.
"You're the one that got us into this in the first place, if you remember. If you hadn't figured this whole thing out, we might be still been safe in Rivendell. But no, you had to have those horses saddled for us!" Mel said, her voice strong and steady.
"Only because you both made me! If its anyone's fault, its not mine!" Jo replied
"Well, it's not mine!" Bean said, her mask broken as tears started to well up in her eyes. She scooted away from Mel, who just sat there, staring blankly.
"I know it's not mine." She whispered, but the others heard.
"Oh, of course its not yours..." Jo sneered, her voice thick with emotion, tears streaming down her face.
"Mel...you and your little songs." Bean said in between her vicious sobs.
"You and your little mind games." Mel retorted as tears silently streamed down her cheeks, also. Many comments followed this until, one by one, they fell into a restless sleep.
