Author's note: Thanks! 1 review! I owe it to ya Darlene! Thanks, I hope to get at least to 3 on this chapter.
All I could think about that night was what I would say if I actually saw Legolas. Would I just say hello, bow, nod, how should I know? My head was buzzing. I guess I fell asleep thinking about it because the next thing I remember was Golradir shaking me awake. "Wake up hurry." I sat up and shook my head. I tried several times to ask him what was going on but he only kept repeating him self "Hurry!"
The rest of the night we ran. We rested only when the sun rose, or we fell down from exhaustion. "It is safe now, you can rest." And even he took a little sleep.
The mid-day sun awoke us and I heard soft singing. The singing was so soft that I could not hear the words. When I finally sat up I Golradir sitting on a nearby log. "Good afternoon! I let you sleep awhile, I am sorry about last night." "There is nothing to forgive, what happened?" "Warg-riders were spotted near Lothlorien," he said, "Are you ready to leave?"
It was the fourth day and we could tell we were getting closer. Amanda stayed in the front with Golradir and Misty and I sort of stayed back a few paces. We hated spiders; epically the ones in Middle Earth which smelled and the regular sized ones were as big as a sedan. That night we slept in a cave because it was raining. To tell you the truth it was actually quite comfortable, except for the feeling of being watched. Golradir called us over to the fire, "Listen to me very carefully. We are entering the dangerous part of Mirkwood. If something happens to me or if I tell you to run, go back the way we came. When you get to the top of that hill find a small forest on the horizon and go towards it. Tell the guards 'Golradir is hurt, he has sent us.'" He looked at us and smiled, "Now, you need rest. Sleep!"
I think what made me wake up was that awful smell. I still do not see how Misty and Amanda slept through it. It smelled like that dead rat that my cat dragged in the car and left there until we noticed the flies and the stench. I got up and walked to the front of the cave where Golradir was sitting and the air was fresher. "Why are you awake? Is there something wrong?" he said. "Nothing, I just could not stand the smell back there." I replied. "Neither could I." I sat down next to him. A long silence followed. "Why do you think we are here?" I said. "I am not sure. That is the reason Thranduil sent for you, I think. All I know is that you are here." he said. A long silence followed and I thought I heard hoof beats in the distance but I did not take any notice of them.
The sun was rising and the forest animals awoke once again. "It is light enough to find wood. We will need it for torches." Hey I wasn't asking why we would need it!
He sent misty and I out looking for the wood. "Ya know this really sucks!" Misty said. "I'm not complaining." I said. "Of course your not! I am the only one slightly in tune to reality!" I sighed. Misty started pulling on something that looked like a pan handle. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" We heard someone scream from the cave. We held our breath as we came upon an odd scene. There was no sign of Golradir except for a few broken arrows. Amanda was sprawled across the ground with that look you see in a deer's eye when you are heading straight towards it in a SUV. "Amanda what happened?" Misty asked. "G-Golradir he was." She stuttered. "What, Golradir was what?" "Killed." Silence came over us. "Olivia, help me with Amanda. Before whatever it is comes back." Misty said. Frankly I was impressed. Misty was the most likely to freak out in this situation, but in little ol' Georgia we didn't have no spiders that could swallow a full grown man in one bite. We followed Golradir's directions and were soon in the forest of Lothlorien.
We had traveled only about half a mile in the forest before it was almost to dark to see. We built a fire and it grew colder. We had to keep our minds off the cold so we told stories and jokes and basically anything. It was cloudy and we could not see outside the ring of firelight. "Well could our situation get any worse?" Amanda said. "Did anyone ever tell you not to say that?" I laughed. It started to snow. We all sighed. It was completely silent. Finally the silence was broken by a scream from Misty. The next thing I knew my hands and feet were tied and my eyes blindfolded. In the midst of all this I heard someone yell "Golradir is hurt, he has sent us!"
