~ I feel sad. No one reviewed my story! I guess no one liked it. =-- (
Seriously, tell me if you don't like this story. I'll just stop posting.
(This may be better anyway then I can concentrate on my classes) Although
some people liked my first Unspoken Thoughts.
Also, no one told me if they wanted to see the rest of my story "Strong
Bonds to Strong Wills" that was taken off ff.net because of the rating. I
had three chapters left to post. Unless, I can revise the story to not
make it so graphic, then I can repost as an R rated story instead. But
tell me! I can't read minds! I don't have that ability! I'm mortal!
Chapter 2: The Uruk-Hai
I was getting a little out of breath. Running this much was tough for even an elf. I could image how Gimli was doing. His short stubby legs, I don't know how long he can keep up with us. Stupid dwarf.
Aragorn was further ahead of me, and I could see him lay down on the cliff rocks and put his ear to the ground. After a few moments, he lifted his head and turned to us.
"Hurry!" he yelled.
I quickened my pace and stopped for a moment to catch my breath. I turned back to see Gimli was lagging behind. I almost felt sorry for him, for I had a pretty good idea of what he was going through because of how short his legs are. Naturally he cannot keep up with our taller statures.
"Come on, Gimli!" I encouraged him. I turned my head back forward to see Aragorn already running. I ran after him to catch up. We jumped over rocks and through bushels trying to catch up to the Uruk-Hai. Aragorn told me that their pace quickened, so we needed to hurry up. I pointed up the distance and told him that I thought they went that direction, for the tracks indicated so.
I saw Aragorn slow down and stop. He bent down to pick something up, and I heard him mumble "Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall."
I stopped as well and took a step towards him. In his hand was the clip of a Lorien leaf. A clip that must have been attached on the cloak the Lady gave us. That could mean Merry and Pippin are still captured. But that could also mean something else.
"They may yet be still alive," I said. That was the only other possible explanation, that either Merry or Pippin purposely dropped the leaf for us to find. Lorien clips could not be lost unless someone tore the clip from the cloak on purpose.
"Less than a day ahead of us," Aragorn said as he started to run again. "Come!"
I started running after him but turned my head to see if Gimli was behind us. He was not.
"Come, Gimli!" I yelled. "We're gaining on them!" I could see Gimli tumble down the hill and I smiled to myself. Dwarves. Always so ungraceful and clumsy. I was always so amused at that. Gimli was a natural comic.
We stepped up a pile of rocks to scan the plains. Out in the distance, we could see a large town and a castle standing tall in the middle.
"Rohan," Aragorn pointed out. "Home of the horselords."
So that was Rohan. I was wondering when I could see it.
"There's something strange at work here," Aragorn continued. "Some evil gives speed to these creatures. Sets it's will against us."
Some evil, eh? I heard something about how Rohan changed for some reason, but I never knew why. We may find out soon.
I continued down the rocks and squinted, trying to locate the band of Uruk- Hai and possible Merry and Pippin among them. They should not be too far ahead of us.
"Legolas!" Aragorn called out to me. "What does your elf eyes see?"
I could see the Uruk-Hai continuing to run, but they changed directions all of a sudden. What the.
"The Uruks turn Northeast!" I called back to Aragorn and Gimli. I froze, suddenly realizing why they changed directions. Of course! Now it makes sense why they turned northeast. "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!"
Isengard, home of Saruman. Saruman must have told them to capture the hobbits and take them to Isengard. That changed things.
