A/N: BlackFire I accept your apology, I really hate it when people say my writing sucks. In the first chapter of this story, I said it had SOME Mary- Sue qualities. Of course, she is going to be beautiful she is an elf for crying out loud! Tolkien described elves, as a beautiful race. So I just worked from that.

Anywayz.

On with Chapter Eight..

::Chapter VIII New injuries ::

As the Fellowship marvel at the beauty of Dwarrowdelf, Gimli runs ahead, and sees the tomb, and kneels down. He begins to sob.
Soon the whole fellowship joins him.
"Here lies Balin, Son of Fundin, Lord of Moria. He is dead then. It is as I feared..." Said Gandalf.
Tari's eyes dart back, and forth. Legolas looks at her.
"I feel something is watching us. I do not know what." Said Tari.
Legolas nods.
"Oh!" Gimli says as he begins to mourn in Dwarfish.
Gandalf picks up a book from a dwarf skeleton.
Legolas whispers to Aragorn," We must move on. We cannot linger."
Gandalf hands his hat, and staff to the closest person, which happens to be Pippin. The Wizard begins to read from the book.
"They have taken the bridge and the second hall.

We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long.

The ground shakes. Drums, drums in the deep.

We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark.

We cannot get out...

They are coming..."
Pippin let curiosity get the better of him. He twisted an arrow, which was on a skeleton. Making the head fall off. Soon, the whole skeleton fell into the well.
Tari grimaced, 'Poor Pippin.'
Gandalf shut the book," Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!"
He grabs his hat, and staff back.
There is a sudden sound of drums, pounding over, and over again. The Fellowship's eyes dart and forth.
"Frodo!" Sam cries.
Frodo pulls Sting out, it is glowing a light blue.
"Orcs!" Legolas hissed.
Boromir rushes through the open door and stares into the hall. A slew of arrows just misses his head and he runs back in.
"Get back! Stay close to Gandalf." Commands Aragorn.
"They have a Cave Troll!" Shouted Boromir.
Boromir, Legolas, Tari, and Aragorn rush to close the door, jamming it with axes and other items found on the floor.
Gimli stands on top of Balin's tomb and faces the door," Let them come!

There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath."
The rest of the Fellowship surrounds the tomb and gets ready to do battle as they stare at the door and listen to the sound of footsteps getting closer.
Legolas, Tari, and Aragorn place themselves in the front of the tomb. Each of them notch an arrow, and aim it at the door.
Pieces of the door start to fly off as orcs attempt to bash down the entrance. One axe breaks through and creates a hole. Legolas shoots an arrow. The arrow hits its mark and there is a squeal of pain. Two more holes appear in the door. Tari and Aragorn follow Legolas' suit. Then the door's hinges break, and orcs immediately rush in.
Tari drops her bow, and grabs her two knives from her quiver. She charges at the orcs, killing them easily. She looks over her shoulder to see Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, and Gandalf killing the orcs. The four hobbits hover behind the tomb. They, having initially hesitated at their first taste of real battle, charge head-first into the battle.
Then the Cave Troll bursts in, taking out part of the wall with him. The troll had dull gray thick skin and a huge bulbous head with eyes very spread apart. The beast is huge; it initially uses a huge hammer to attack. Huge chunks of floor are dislodged as he swings and misses. Gimli throws an axe at the beast. The beast begins to chase after Gimli, in response Gimli runs. Legolas shoots two arrows, giving Gimli time to run.
Legolas leaps up on to a higher ledge and fires arrows into the beast to draw its attention. The troll then grabs a chain and uses it as a whip. Legolas is too fast.
The beast runs towards Pippin, Merry, and Frodo, trying to hit them. His hammer missed them, as huge chunks of stone fly everywhere.
"Frodo!!" Aragorn yells.
Frodo runs to a pillar, thinking he would be safe. As Frodo slides to the right, the Troll peers to the left and sees nothing. As the Troll peers to the right, Frodo has slid to the left. Then Frodo begins to slide back to the right and without warning the troll catches onto his game. That big bulbous head suddenly appears in front of Frodo and we all jump out of our seats. Frodo stumbles back and begins a feeble attempt to escape the Troll's attacks.
Aragorn runs to Frodo's defense. Aragorn picks up a huge pole, and shoves it into the beast's body. The troll easily tosses Aragorn away.
Frodo runs to Aragorn to wake him, but Aragorn doesn't move. Tari jumps in front of Frodo, ready to take on this beast.
The troll tries to stab her with the pole, but Tari is too quick. He does this again, but he misses.
Tari gives Frodo the signal to run; at that moment the beast shoves the pole into Tari. The entire Fellowship looks at what has just happened and scream in agony. Even the Troll has a look of surprise at the affect of what he's done. Tari slumps to the floor.
Merry and Pippin scream madly and jump on the Troll's back, stabbing frantically with vengeance. Aragorn picks up the pole and sticks it under the Troll's upper right rib cage. As the Cave Troll screams in anger, at yet another small nuisance wound in his side, he opens his mouth just enough for Legolas to skillfully shoot an arrow directly into his upper palette. The arrow reaches his brain and kills him. The Troll falls to the crowd with a loud thud.
Frodo looked at Tari with disbelief.
Aragorn runs to her side, " Tari! Tari!"
Legolas runs over, as Aragorn rolls her over.
Announcer Dude: Is Tari alive? Will Legolas die of an broken heart? Find out next chappie!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@
