Chapter 2: Trouble
May stepped out of the portal closely followed by Andy.
"I can't believe we're actually standing in front of bree!" Andy said.
" Believe it. Look we're suppose to stay out of sight so I think we should find some place to hide." May looked around and found a tree that would do fine.
She started walking towards it when she heard clicks. She turned around to find that Andy was taking photos. " A camera !" she exclaimed, " You brought a camera with you?"
Andy looked at her. " Of course I brought a camera with me. Do you think I'd miss this kind of opportunity. I mean we're standing right in front of bree! Were ,if my calculations are right, frodo and the hobbits are at this very moment! What kind of idiot would miss this kind of opportunity. This chance doesn't present its self all the time." May sighted
" How many did you bring." she asked. "Seven ." Andy replied. "Zed is going to kill you when we get back." Andy just shrugged and continued taking pictures. May practically had to drag her to the tree. " Come on Andy it's night and if the hobbits are inside then the Nazgul are not far behind!" Andy stopped taking pictures. " I guess your right in that."
She climbed the tree followed by May.

Michelle and Cynthia stared at their surroundings in awe. The portal they had gone through had led them into some woods. But this woods we're not like any they had ever
Seen. The trees were gigantic and greener than any trees they had ever seen.
" Cynthia I think we ended up in Mirkwood." Michelle whispered. " I should have brought
A camera like Andy. She's probably taking pictures of whatever place they ended up in."
Cynthia said . " We don't have time for that right now. If we are in mirkwood then we better find a way out before any of those big spiders come looking for food." Michelle
Picked up the backpack she had dropped and started walking. " So we're just going to wonder around mirkwood with out any sense of which direction we're headed? I don't think that's a good idea Michelle." " O.k. let's try to spot the Lonely Mountain. We can decide where to go from there." " Well we know where we're going, and I still think it's suicide. I can't believe we have to go to Mordor to find the blasted meteors." Cynthia said. They heard a rustle from some bushes to their left. " You have your ice gun ready right?" Michelle asked Cynthia.
Cynthia nodded and took out her gun. A creature that looked a lot like a cross between a
saber tooth tiger and a crocodile jumped out from behind the bushes and started running towards them. They both fired at the same time hitting the creature squarely in the face.
It turned into an ice statue in less than three seconds and shattered. " I can't believe we took this job Michelle." " At least we have enough ammo to last us a long time. Hopefully by then we we've found the rest of our group." They kept on walking but this time they
We're weary looking everywhere as if expecting something to rush out at them.
" Daro" both girls jumped when they heard a voice from their right. Before they knew it they we're surrounded by elves. " I feel like I've died and gone to heaven." Cynthia said with a dreamy voice. One of them started speaking in what the girls assumed was elvish.
" What did he say?" Michelle asked Cynthia who knew more about elves than her.
" I think he said, what.. Are.. You.. Doing.. In.. the forests of mirkwood"
" Well answer him." Michelle told Cynthia. " I haven't had time to learn how to speak elvish properly I might say something that offends them. Beside it was either pass Spanish
Class or learn elvish. I did not want to fail Spanish." Michelle sighted. " Car le pedo annunaid?" Do thee speak westron she asked. The elves seemed a little surprised at the fact that she spoke elvish but nodded. " Yes. Some of us here do. Now I will repeat my question, What are you doing in the forests of mirkwood?" " That's simple enough," Cynthia said, " We're lost." " Why did you come into the forest in the first place?"
He asked. Michelle shrugged " we didn't come into the forest. We sort of arrived here."
The elf looked at her with a puzzled look. " Forget it we're just trying to find our way out of here." " Where are you heading?" the elf asked. " Trust us you do not want to know."
Cynthia said. " In order to lead you the right way I must know in which direction you are heading." Both girls looked at each other. " Well we are sort of on this mission. And
To complete this mission we have to go into the lands of mordor." There was a gasp of surprise from all the elves when Michelle said this. " I think it's time we get out of here." Cynthia whispered. " How? If you haven't noticed they are elves." Cynthia thought for a moment. " I know I'll cause a distraction and while they are confused we run for it." " What kind of distraction? May asked. " Look the Backstreet boys!" Cynthia yelled.
Michelle hit her on the back of her head with her hand while the elves simply stared in amusement. " The Backstreet boys!? Cynthia we are not back home. This are elves not
Crazy fan girls!" " I forgot. It always works back home." Cynthia now looked really embarrassed. Michelle shook her head. " Did you have to make it that band? Couldn't you come up with a better one?" " Silence!" one of the elves said. All the elves had turned away from them to face the way both girls had come bows loaded and ready to fire. Cynthia and Michelle took out their guns facing the direction all the elves were facing.
It wasn't long before a fifteen foot spider that looked like a collection of different colors
Came out from the woods. The elves fired their bows. Although the arrows cut deep into the spiders flesh it kept on coming towards them paying no attention to them.
Both girls fired their weapons and with a last shriek of defiance the spider turned into an ice statue and shattered.
The elves immediately reloaded their bows and pointed them in both girls direction.
" What are you doing?" Cynthia asked, " If you didn't noticed we just save your lives.
" The weapons you hold drop them!" one of the elves ordered. Both girls dropped their weapons and two elves slowly advanced to pick them up. " The packs you carry give them
To us." One of the elves that was taking their weapons said. They took of their packs and handed them to the elves who slowly backed up. " I am Nolion," the elf that first spoke to them said, " What are your names?" " Michelle." " Cynthia." " Those are strange names. I have never heard them before." said Nolion. " Maybe if you didn't stay inside your pretty little woods all the time you might hear them" Michelle whispered. " Michelle they can hear you!" Cynthia whispered hurriedly. The elves paid no attention to Michelle's remark.
" Where do you heed from?" Nelion asked. " Texas" both girls said. Nelion frowned. " I have never heard of such place." " Nor will you after we leave. It is a far away land from across the sea. Now can you let us go we're sort of racing against time." Michelle said.
" You have entered the realm of Mirkwood. We must take you before King Thranduil.
He will decide your faith. Follow us." Nelion turned away and started walking back the way he and the rest of the elves had come from. " I'm starting to dislike elves." Michelle whispered.

Prisons of Rohan.
" I bet we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you hadn't gone up to a guard and asked directions to mordor." Evelyn said for the sixth time that day. " Would you shut up already. We wouldn't be here if that stupid worm tongue hadn't been in Rohan in the first place! I bet they would have believed us then. Well maybe at least believed us enough to send us on our way out of here!" Ashley said, " This is just great! We finally get to do something exiting and we get arrested in the first ten minutes. I hope the others are having better luck then us." Evelyn sighted. " I hope so too."
************************************************************************
Outside Bree
" Andy wake up the nazgul should be here any moment."
Andy opened her eyes and got out her camera. " Don't tell me you're going to take pictures of the nazgul!" " Of course I am, May, my collection wouldn't be complete with out nazgul pictures. May didn't get to say anything more because they heard a shriek and not long after the nazgul appeared heading towards bree. The girls quietly watched them force their way into bree and sometime later ride out and disappear into the woods.
" That was interesting." May said. " It certainly was and if the events follow the book
And not the movie in the morning the hobbits and strider will leave bree and head for Rivendell." Cynthia said checking her book. " And we will stay here for at least a week before we move on. I don't want to end up bumping into them." May said.
************************************************************************
" Let me out of here! I demand to be let out!" Michelle yelled while pounding on the
Door. " We will let you out when you decide to return to your home land and not journey to mordor. That place is not a place for young ladies. We do not wish to send you to your doom." Nolion said from the other side of the door. " it's our business if we want to walk into our doom now let us out! You've kept us locked up in this chamber for a week. And when we're not inside this room we have to be followed by guards. I have a life to go back to! And the only way to get back home is for us to finish our mission now let us go!"
Michelle looked at Cynthia who was looking out the balcony. " You could be helping you know." Cynthia shrugged. " You know I like this place. It wouldn't be so bad if we stayed here." Michelle sighted in desperation. " It's not going top be such a nice place if we don't
Accomplish our mission. This place will be overrun by those aliens. You saw how big the last one was. If we don't destroy the meteor they are going to keep getting bigger, smarter, and stronger! Beside Cynthia we both know that you couldn't survive with out eating a banana split, or going to the mall for a long time. And I couldn't care less how beautiful this place is if it doesn't have a TV , a radio, a computer , and all the modern
Technology. And that's just half of it. If we stay here it means no more pizza, burgers, ice cream , candy , chocolate, chips, soda, and everything else I can't think of right now.
Let me out now!" Cynthia having changed her mind joined Michelle in pounding on the door. " All we wish is that you return home and not go to mordor. We do not wish your blood on our hands." Nolion said. " Fine you convinced us now let us go!" both girls yelled. They heard soft laughter from the other side of the door. " You do not mean that."
Nolion said. " No duh we don't mean that that's what you want to hear so we are telling you what you want to hear! Let us go!" Cynthia yelled while still pounding on the door.
Nolion sighted. He didn't know how long he and the rest could deal with the two strange girls. Apparently they would not abandon their quest very easily if at all.
* I do not anger easily but this girls will accomplish it in a very short while if they do not
Stop yelling.* Nolion looked across the door to his unfortunate companion.
* I know how you feel. They can yell very loudly and for quite a long time. Perhaps
We can ask king Thranduil if we can come to some arrangement so that we can finally have a peaceful day.* " Hey did you hear us! Let us out of here. I demand a lawyer!"
" Cynthia there are no lawyers here." Cynthia stopped pounding on the door. " Forgot."
She said and went back to pounding on the door. Nolion sighted. It was going to be a long day.
King Thranduil looked at the two young ladies that were sitting on the bed waiting for him to say something. " I have had many complains about you two and I must say that my patience is running low. Therefore I will let you continue on with your quest."
Both girls smiled. " But on one condition." Michelle smiled " Don't worry we won't
Bother you again if that's what you mean." " that is not what mean," he said, " I still think that two young human girls should not go on such a quest alone. Therefore Nolion and his brother Aldarion will accompany you." " Oh no hold on a minute you can't be serious!"
Michelle exclaimed. " That is my condition young one." " Come on Michelle it isn't that bad. No wait it isn't bad at all." " Hello," Michelle said turning to her friend," It might change something." " How can it change anything Michelle. Those two are never mentioned. So we won't be changing anything. We were told not to interfere with the plot
They are not in the plot so nothing can change." King Thranduil watched on puzzled of what both girls were speaking about.
Eventually Michelle gave in and agreed to let both elves go with them.
Thranduil nodded. " You will leave tomorrow morning. Just stop making such noise."
Michelle and Cynthia smiled and agreed.
************************************************************************
" Wait for me may I'm not used to walking around in the wild for hours."
May stopped and waited for her friend. " I don't mean what you mean by hours. Its verily been an hour and you're already complaining." " I'm not the outdoor type." Andy said catching up to her friend, " What are we going to do when we find rivendell?"
May shrugged " Keep out of sight and hunt down all the aliens that we find and keep going to mordor." Andy sighted. " This is the worst time of my life. I can't take a shower
And we have to take turns sleeping because all the stupid aliens that seem to be making the woods their home." " Have you ever read any of those Lord of The Rings fic where it only takes a day or two to get from Mirkwood to Rivendell or from Bree to Rivendell?"
" Yeah." Andy said, " Why?" " I was just thinking that maybe those fic writers should take
A trip to the Amazon forest and try to get from there to new York city in a day because this sort of feels that way." Andy laughed. " yep it would be a very enlightening trip for them." " Come on Andy we better cover some ground before night falls." " You're taking first watch." Andy said as they started moving again.
