CHAPTER TWO
Company in more places than one
They had been traveling for hours,it seemed,yet it rely had been days.
The many sights,accompanied by frequent scares,had been breath taking and mystifying,making it so that the trip seemed to short to last.
They had been traveling and now where at a stop,the only thing you could see where gray sky's,and stretched out plains of rock and dirt,which met the cloudy sky's and seemed to become one with them in the distance.Chilling air that had howling wind cast itself hear,freezing you to the bone and making goose bumps appear on your arms.
"Something is amiss,"whispered the wizard silently to Bilbo as they smoked their pipes and Harry slept logged between two slabs of smooth black rock in which made a tent looking appearance.Looking up from the fire to Gandelf his nose crunched slightly Bilbo made a reply.
"What is it that bothers you my old friend?"
Sighing Gandelf whispered,"I don't know what it is but something is wrong."
Bilbo cast a worried glance to Harry before turning it to Gandelf,"what do you mean?"he says,"I cant have had more of a better journey,if I do say so myself."
Shaking his head Gandelf said softly,"It has been fallowing us,slowly creeping closer.I suggest we make haste tomorrow."
Nodding Bilbo lay to bed and nodded off while the fire went low.Gandelf put a another few small sticks in it to make them burn a little while the wind howled.
Looking up to the sky he watched the full moon flout lazy over head. !*#@*%)@*!@#@$#!@#@!%^(&*())_+
He looked down from the silvery moon that was now being covered in a thin vail of clouds and looked down to his servant.The poor thing,probably had bad news for him.That would only get it killed.
"What have you come to tell me?"he hissed,sounding oddly like a angry snake.
Shivering the servant said in a wavering voice,"W...we.. we are ready to attack sire...a..all we need is...is to have your order sire...and then we'll have the girl."
He smiled.Stroking his white beard he nodded.
"Good,"he narrowed his eyes,"For once you HAVE done something correctly!I had expected to say you needed a another day to gather more men!"
The servant quivered and he posed for the sensation of fear to radiate from the small creature.
"Very well.Attack them,I don NOT care about the Hobbit nor the old coot of a wizard!I just want the girl!"
"Y..yes me lord,"whispered the servant scurrying down the small steps that led to his large windows behind his thrown and shuffling out the door. ~@$#!@#$%^&*()_+
The morning had came all to soon in Harry's opinion,she had been ,weirdly, realy very sleepy for a odd reason-like she was too drained to do any more traveling.
It must have shown for Gandelf kindly picked her up and they started to walk.But now that she was awake,she noticed annoyed,she couldn't very well go back to sleep.
So sighing she tapped Gandelf on the shoulder,bringing his attention,he frowned she noticed when seeing her face,and whispered,"I think I can walk.I am all to existed to see Rivendell to rest."
Hesitating he put the young lass down and the started to walk on,slowly this time,so Harry didn't have to pick up her pace.But even though she had to strain to keep up with their seminally strenuous pace until Bilbo picked her up,("I don't care if you don't want to you just be in my arms or Gandelf's!")And they started their journey again.
It wasn't until they where half way though the day that they noticed something.Or more so Harry noticed something.
As a freezing wind blew Harry shivered,not out of the cold but out of the feeling of it.
Looking up she looked up to Bilbo's eyes and he smiled down at her.
"Dose that wind seem...a bit queer to you?"she whispered.Something was wrong and she didn't care if she had to be a little forward about it.It sent shivered up her back.
Frowning his brows,while he jogged up next to Gandelf,he replied,"What every do you mean child?It's just a wind."He looked up to Gandelf who had been listening to their chat,'isn't it?"
Gandelf frown and ametly he turned his head sharply to the direction it came form.Their,just on the horizon,was a seminally black cloud moving quickly towards them as though determined to crush them.
"Flee!"shouted Gandelf and as he did so about 11 smaller shapes burst out of the cloud into the air and rushed towards him.
Quickly as they could they started to run,Harry barring a heavy wait upon her eyes now as though she where to fall to sleep.
Shadows danced in front of her eyes and her mind and thoughts became a thick haze of misty smoke and clouds.
"Mmmm..Bilbo,"she said thickly her eyes clouded by sleepiness and something Bilbo had never seen but knew it wasn't good,"I feel funny."
She yawned as her speech became slurred and closed her eyes.
"Don't,"said Gandelf stopping their running-the flyers a few feet away and diving for them-,"don NOT sleep child.Keep your eyes open."
She only faintly herd him though,as if he had been shouting from a long distance and it was echoing in a cave.Feeling herself jerk she snapped her eyes open when she felt the rough ground come in contact of her face.She sighed tiredly trying to keep awake but it felt impossible as one of those black blobs came though the hazy smog and reach a fuzzy hand down to grab her.
Ametly something came,to fast for her blurry eyes to see,and made it so it stumbled back.The last thing she felt where strong arms before she got picked up. !@$#%^&*()_+
Gandelf and Bilbo tried fruitlessly to get back to the semiconscious girl as she lay on her side looking with half closed eyes her hair fallen strait above her as though it where a dark stream,and both arms in front of her as though about to give someone a weak hug.
But it was impossible as three more of the black things swished down and attacked as the other two had did.The where strongly like elves but had dark brown rough skin and slanted red eyes that where lined with different colors such as brown or blue.
Taking out swords they tried to fight their way though but found it impossible as the 'flying elves' had the advantage with five agensted two and two started to make their way towards Harry.
While slamming his sword agensted the emeneys one Bilbo looked to Gandelf who was using spells to make one or two fly back.But it was futile as for now the black cloud,which turned out not only to be orc's but other dark creatures such as more of those dark flyers and some things that looked as though they where made of liquid,some things coming out of the ground,and so many more they could have their eyes spin.But what surprised the was when two humans stepped out smirking.
"Kill them and take the girl,"said the one with blond hair.
Ametly the started to fight again,scratches and bruises appeared when ever a sword sliced them or a claw cut them.
Suddenly their was a sound of a arrow whistling thought he air and one of them was hit and they all backed off.Their,holding Harry,was a man with a rough face,and slightly tattered dirty cloths.
"Come!"he shouted.Ametly they made their way though,the creatures now attacking again,and fallowed him to some horses.The man better known as Arogan jumped on one horse,the other two on a another.
Ametly he yelled and the three of them on the two horses moved swiftly in a blurred motion as they made their way to Rivendell.
As they got further away from the monsters,though it was a close call,they where able to let out sighs of relief and willed their horses to slow.
"How did you find us?"said a breathless Bilbo.
"The elves have been expecting you,"explained Arogan as he looked down to the young one in his arms who still slept on,"Eldron was worried when he figured out that their was vile things in the terrain,"he posed to think than continued,"What happened to the child?"
Quickly Gandelf stopped the horse that he and the Hobbit were riding and made his way over to Aragons now stopped horse.
"We don NOT know,"said Bilbo,"she said she had felt funny and she WAS acting a little weak ever sine we woke up this morning.When those creatures came she kind of dozed off."
"Fainted maybe?"supplied Aragon.
Shaking his head Bilbo pointed towards her,"Her eyes had been misty as though a haze had made its way into her sights.Her eyes where unknowing and unseeing."
Just then their was a small moan from the young girl and they looked down.
Harry was just making her way out of a thick fog that was more like water than any thing else.
Once opening her eyes she blinked to get the blurriness out and looked up to see a stranger looking down at her.She tensed ,but seeing no harmful look in his eyes,relaxed and looked around.
Bilbo was standing next to her along with Gandelf and she was in the worm lap of a man who smelt of the forest and herbs.
Sighing she closed her eyes and cuddled herself into the mans stomach and readied herself for sleep when she felt a hand shake her.
"Not now young one.We need you to stay awake,"came Gandelf's stern voice.
She gave a nod and sat up looking down to see she was on a horse.looking up she saw a sight that amazed her beyond belief.
Their,as grand as ever,stood the magnificent Rivendell; home to the elves.
