I'm ba-ack!! Can you tell I've gotten happier the more I've written! And I
just read my reviews and I want to thank you guys. Foolish Heart and
psycopanda! Ya'll rock! I was smiling so much when I read how much ya like
it. I'm glad others are into it. I enjoy reading it over just as much as I
do writing these new chapters. Oh and Panda, You'll notice that I
exaggerated a few actual moments in chap. 5. And yes Louis is symbolic for
Lo Lo. So now that that's out of the way, here's the next Friggin
Chapter!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: Just thought I'd remind you that I don't own Lord of the Rings. That's New Line and Tolkien's. Sorry if you assumed otherwise.
Chap. 7: Blinding Pain
They frantically dug, some more than others. She was the only one still not found. The poor hobbits were too frostbitten to dig, but sat there watching the worry plain on their faces. All hope seemed lost.
"IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed a voice as a bandaged arm was pulled out of the snow. Legolas had found her arm but couldn't find the rest of her body. Fearing the worst he yanked it with all his strength, (And being an elf, that was a lot).
"AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed as her upper half emerged on top of the snow. From the rescue attempt she'd lost her sling and her bandage was stained red. The pain had drawn her to tears.
"We must go through the mines of Moria!" Gimli yelled over the wind and Med's screams.
"We will let the ring bearer decide!" Gandalf answered.
And you know what the answer was.
They walked a ways down the mountain, and found shelter under a rock formation. Boromir carried Med down there. She leaned her head against him for strength, it was so comforting to have him carring her. There they treated Med's wound and rested for an hour or so. After that, they were off again.
Med didn't say another word till they were off the mountain. And it was three days after that till she acknowledged anyone's presence. No one knew what had happened under the snow, or if she had been almost dead when Legolas grabbed her arm. All they knew is that she wasn't talking, and it was actually rather dull that whole time.
So now they were on the road to Moria. Gimli wouldn't shut up about how wonderful it was. His cousin Balin was an awesome dwarf.
"Balin was with Frodo's uncle when they won back the lonely mountain," he boasted.
"So was your father, Gimli," said Med surprising everyone, " along with Dwailin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bombur, Bofur, and Thorin Oakensheild. And don't think I don't know that Gandalf had a lot to do with that journey."
Everyone stared at her.
"How do you know all this," asked Gandalf.
"It is supremely complicated," she answered.
"And we are supremely interested," retorted Legolas.
"If you must know I am a historian on epic journeys, and I find that one my very favorite," she lied.
"Very few who weren't involved know of that story," growled Gimli.
"I am one of those very few, then," retorted Med glaring at the dwarf.
The subject was dropped among the whole group, but the hobbits walked up beside her.
"How do you know of Bilbo also?" asked Frodo.
"I have my ways," she grined mischeiveously.
"Keep your secrets then," he smiled. Med looked down at him and ruffled his curly hair.
"You are more man in that little body then some people from my world who are twice your size," she remarked.
"And what about us?" asked Pippin.
"Ahhh, Perigren Took," she started, "Back home, I have a friend who knows all about your great accomplishments. She thinks you're the greatest." Pippin got a smug smile on his face. (eh? Panda?)
"What about me?" asked Merry he felt extremely left out.
"You will be known across Middle Earth for all your accomplishments, soon enough," she mused, "And Sam don't think I've forgotten you, you are the best friend figure I have ever seen, met, or heard of!"
"How do you know so much of the future?" asked Sam.
"I just do, some things just aren't worth explaining at this moment," she sighed and pulled away from the group. She walked by herself cradling her arm. It hurt more than ever after they'd come of that fucking mountain. She was lucky she hadn't died, she could've sworn she heard someone calling her name, but it wasn't one of the fellowship. It was. someone who'd died long ago. A voice she hadn't heard for about 12 years.
"Why have you become so forlorn?" asked Legolas coming up behind her.
"Things happened down there," she shivered, "I keep seeing them when I get around you guys. I hear a voice, everytime I hear one of you talk."
"Of course, you heard us calling for you," he said sensibly.
"No it was someone from back home, a family member of mine," she mourned.
"Who was this family member?" questioned the curious elf.
"He is long gone, he died when I was about 2 years old," she answered looking towards the ground. One foot in front of the other, she thought, just keep moving.
"Oh," answered the elf. He knew nothing about death. His people didn't die off very easily, they just went to the grey lands when they were weary of this world.
"But you wouldn't understand death," she said as if reading his mind, "It's terrible, just last winter a good friend of mine died. The worse thing was I was sick at the time, and couldn't talk. People thought I was just choked up with emotion when it was just puss and other shit."
"Why do you confide in me so, Med?" he said turning his face to look at her.
"What do you mean?" she asked not looking up.
"You tell me everything, you tell me your past, present, your future, even other's futures, which bewilders me greatly. You tell me of you deep love for Boromir, but yet you are blind," he confronted her.
"Well, I know I do have a sight problem, but that's just cause I left my glasses at-"
"That's not what I mean," he interrupted, "You won't even look at me. Why? Med please tell me!"
"You wanna know why?!" she yelled, "It's cause you remind me of Games okay! They way you smile, they way you laugh, the way I catch you looking at me. Yes, I've seen the way you look at me! You raise your eyebrow like him, and I know you'll break my heart like him!" She stormed ahead of him leaving him to stew over what was said.
Sadly she took 3 steps and triped over a rock and fell forward. In a flash Leglas caught her. She looked at him and glared. Then got up and walked away again.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
So whadaya think??? I couldn't find a better way to end that. Hope it was satisfactory. Just to let ya know, Saturday I'll be leaving for the Lake, and we'll be gone for a week. My mom won't let me bring the laptop so you'll have to deal without this story, if you really like it!!!! R/R BTW I know I make references to real people and I hope it's okay with ya'll! :D HI PANDA
