Chap. 9: Dark Days.

They arrived at the gates to Moria. After letting good ol' Bill go they sat there whilst Gandalf racked his tired old brains for the password. Med sat there very antsy. She didn't know what to do with her self. She was afraid of having to help defend Frodo soon, but she also feared for her own life. The past couple of days she had really improved and Legolas even gave her the knife that he let her practice with. She felt extremely honored.

She now sat on a rock admiring the great work of elven blacksmithing. Soon it would be stained with the blood of orcs. She wanted more than anything to feel the power of vanquishing enemies. She wanted to show the fellowship she wasn't just a girl, she was a woman who can seriously kick some ass!

"What's the elvish word for friend?" asked Merry. (In the book it was Merry who said it!!! HA! In your face P.J.)

"Mellon," answered the wizard. Med braced herself for the gory scene to be displayed.

It really was terrible. The decaying bodies of dwarfs was almost gut renching, but she kept on the alert for the Watcher. Soon enough there he was. Legolas reacted at once shooting arrows every which way. Aragorn and Boromir did what they could to save the poor little ring bearer. Suprisingly Med ran up and started hacking away what tenticals she could from the evil beast. She really got carried away. And literally when Boromir and to run up and carry her into the mines.

It was completely dark. She'd only experienced this when she went to caves with school or her youth group. Living in a town that was practically on top of caves helped too. Soon Gandalf lit his staff. And they were off.

She tried her hardest to look at the formations in that great mine, but she could barely see ahead of her. It didn't help that, Gandalf's pace was not one for looking at cave formations. She kept up as best as she could and really time passed very slowly in the mountain. It seemed an eternity till they reached the spot where Gandalf forgot the way.

They sat and rested. Legolas came up next to her.

"I hate this vile darkness," he complained.

"I only wish I could've come here at another time, I would have loved to have looked upon the beautiful formations," she dreamily sighed.

"You sound almost like Gimli," mocked the elf.

"I can't help it, where I live we'll all practically live on top of caves," she explained, "We were taught to keep them preserved and I really planed on seeking a lifestyle giving tours at caves."

"Wow," he breathed, "I would have never guessed, you seemed like one for the upper world."

"Oh, I am," she added quickly, "I would never live there, I just love them." He nodded his head.

"I think I understand," he said slowly, "You know I live in a series of caves."

"Yes I know," she said, but added quickly, "I mean, I know OF where you live, but I'm not very familiar with it."

"It's wonderful, if we make it through this journey I shall take you there, and show you my life," he boasted.

"I really hope we make it long enough so I may do that," she smiled at him. She looked into his eyes in the dim light. For the first time they didn't look like Games staring back at her.

"Why are you staring," asked the confused elf, "Is there something wrong with my face?"

"No," she smiled, "Nothing at all."

"It's this way!" exclaimed Gandalf as he headed down the aprpreiate hall. So off they went again and not much happened till they actually entered Kazadum. Almost as if on cue the light expanded and they saw the hall in all it's splendor.

It was even more amazing in person. They collums were sculpted so beautifully, it was almost like a dream. Then Gimli ran off into Balins tomb room.

You don't really need a first hand account of how everything went leading up to Pippin's clumsiness and the drums from the deep, only that the drums made Med almost wet her pants. The men went and baracaded the door and stood in front ready to attack. Legolas and Aragorn with their arrows ready. She stayed towards the back with the hobbits.

In came the orcs, with such fericousity that Med was scared so much she thought she would surely die. Then she thought, ", if we make it through this journey I shall take you there, and show you my life," he boasted." She wanted to see his life and hers.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" she bellowed along with the hobbits as they all entered the fight. It was all a blur all she saw was Legolas' knife in her hands entering orcish bodies and leaving to take more souls. She did not even notice when an orc slashed her bandaged arm. The bandage came completely off, but all you could see was a white scar of LOVE. That orc was soon dead. When they were out of orcs she tried to attack the cave troll also but he was pretty much taken care of, moments later he came toppling down. That's when she came to her senses.

They had to get out of there and run away from the Balrog. They all ran, even after being cornered by orcs and Leggy seriously freaking out cause he also knew what the Balrog could do. They all ran as fast as possible, down the winding steps, past weak points in the stone. When they arrived at the gap in the stairs Med jumped after Legolas and cleared it just fine. After everyone crossed they ran on. The bridge loomed forward. They crossed it and turned back to see Gandalf had not followed. Med had completely forgotten about this moment.

"NO YOU STUPID WIZARD GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" she yelled hysterically. He didn't listen and when he finally fell Med moaned out her anguish along with Frodo. They ran outside the mountain, completely forlorn at the loss of their guide and mentor.

Once safe from danger everyone one went off by themselves. Med sat on a rock by the stream. She reached into her pocket absent mindedly to find a paperclip. It was already bent open. All she had to do was press it to her skin and- No, she wouldn't do that again. I think Gandalf counts as a boy. She slipped the paperclip back into her pocket and got ready to leave for Lothlorien.
