Chapter 5:

After the initial shock of what had just occurred wore off, everyone took cover. Arrows were now flying more frequently and orcs were appearing in between the trees of the forrest.

"Do you think Asis sent them?" Sam asked Gandalf, who was currently ducked behind a large rock.

"He must have, otherwise Legolas would not have had the vision." He answered back.

"How many do you think there are?" Gimli asked Aragorn, who was beside him.

"Twenty at the most." Aragorn glanced over at Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir who were all looking as if they were anticipating something.

"One.. Two.. Three!" after Elrohir's countdown, Legolas, Elladan and him all leaped out from behind a bush at once. Arrows flew from their bows quicker than the eye could see. The orcs fell like flys, in a minute half of them were dead.

Aragorn took up the hint to start fighting when he saw an orc approaching from behind Pippin and Merry. Aragorn unsheathed his sword quickly and decapitated the orc with expert presision.

The fight lasted only a few minutes longer, though it felt like hours to the hobbits. When there was only one orc left alive, the fellowship, Elrohir and Elladan approached it as it lay there on the ground.

"Why did you attack us?" Gandalf asked in such a cold voice that the hobbits glanced at him, startled.

The orc just laughed and said something in black speech that sounded like an insult.

"Once again why are you here?" Gandalf asked again, when the orc did not answer, the wizard nodded to Aragorn, who approached the beast and put his sword to the foul creature's heart.

The orc hesitated then in a menacing voice said, "We were ordered to kill you all, except the elf," he glanced at Legolas.

"What were you to do with me?" Legolas asked.

The orc said nothing until Aragorn, once again prodded it with his sword.

"We were to take you to our master, so he could kill you personally." It said.

"Wow, aren't you the specail one, eh master elf?" Gimli said in an amused tone.

The orc, noticing the attention being diverted to the dwarf, leaped up and jumped at Legolas, who pulled out his knife and threw it at the creature, killing it in mid jump.

"We should be on our way." Said Elrohir. They all agreed and continued their journey to Moria.

Soon, the hobbits grew tired and they were forced to take another break. They sat in the hot sun, talking of old times before the war of the ring and some after. The hobbits sat in a small circle, bored, hungry, tired. Earlier Sam had asked Aragorn if they could have something to eat but he told them that their food supply was scarce and they could only eat meals, no snacks. So there they sat, stomachs rumbling, staring off into the sky, only occasionally speaking to one another to ask when the next meal was.

Legolas went for a walk with Elrohir and Elladan around the camp. Gandalf, Aragorn and Gimli argued over the best path to Moria's new entrance. Finally, Legolas and the twins returned from their walk, Elorhir and Elladan slightly ahead of Legolas as they approached the others.

When Legolas passed the Hobbits, who were near the edge of the camp, he dropped a brown pack in front of Merry, then kept walking untill he reached Gandalf and they began a thorough discussion on the quest at hand.

Merry looked down at the pack, then to Legolas, conversing with Gandalf. The other hobbits looked curiously down at the brown bag.

"Whats in it?" Fro do asked.

"open it." Sam suggested. Merry picked up the bag and put it on his lap. He undid the string that kept it closed and looked inside. He looked at the others with an expression of shock and excitement on his face.

"What is it?" Pippin asked.

Merry grinned, stood up and poured the contents of the bag onto the ground in front of them. The bag had been filled with more mushrooms than any hobbit had seen in his life. They stared, open mouthed at all the food, then they all jumped up at once and began to eat.
