A/N: As I'm writing this, I sit, tired and sleepy, so there shouldn't be too much. It may be getting too serious, but I'm definitely going to try to bring the enmity back between Merut and Boromir, there just wasn't room for it in this chapter. Dun worry! It's still there.
Disclaimer: Hmmm... ENJOLRAS OWNS LOTR! YES! That's it! Sorry. Les Mis reference. Hm. Enjolras is hot.
Leggie: OBSIDIE! You don't love me?
Obsidie: Oh. Did I say that aloud?
Leggie: I'm willing to forgive you.
Obsidie: Willing to forgive, ne?
Leggie: All you have to do is... (whispers in Obsidie's ear)
Obsidie: (her eyes widen) LEGOLAS! You are sick! (thinks and shrugs) Eh, okay.
Dwarrowdelf.
"Wow." Ete said, thoroughly sweeping her eyes across the room. She was quite calm now and was amazed with at the sight. The sheer immensity of it all was astounding. "I know that I'm going against all convictions I have ever said against the dwarfs, but this certainly is an achievement." Gimli smiled with pride.
"See what the great race of the dwarves can do?"
"Hey, this is only one achievement, buddy." Merut said, placing her hand on the dwarf's shoulder. Then her eyes opened in horror and she yanked her hand away, hopping around, screaming as if in excruciating pain.
"Merut, what's wrong?" Boromir asked, starting to reach for his sword. All the fellowship stood in readiness.
"I TOUCHED IT! I TOUCHED IT! I TOUCHED IT!" Merut screamed, holding her hand in the other. She ran to Ete and wiped her hand on the back of Ete's blouse.
"Merut, shut UP." Ete said, grabbing Merut by her hair and pulling her back. "The goblins'll hear us sooner than they must." She hissed into Merut's ear. This calmed Merut and she shut up.
"Ooh! What's this?" They heard Merry say. He was at the door of Balin's tomb.
"Oh no." Merut and Ete said in unison. They knew that they were going to be in for trouble.
"NO!" Gimli yelled, running towards the tomb. He fell to his knees, etceteras, crying as Gandalf read the bit. Merut and Ete reached for their weapons. Merut fitted a bolt to her crossbow and Ete held her bow at her side, an arrow in her hand. "We cannot linger." Legolas said to Aragorn.
"Gimli, we have no time to mourn." Merut said to the sorrow-stricken dwarf. Ete's eyes widened as she saw the hobbit move toward the well.
"PIPPIN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" And then, the skeleton fell into the well, making the echoing noises in the dark. Ete and Merut looked to each other in fear.
"Boromir, barricade the door!" Ete said, her voice quivering with fear. She didn't leave time for them to ask.
"Thousands of goblins are coming."
"Let them come." Gimli said, roaring with rage.
"They have a cave troll." Merut said. And then they heard the drums.
"Bloody hell!" Ete said, running to the door and closing it herself.
"Set a blockade." No one moved. "NOW!" The men placed axes across the door and started to feel resistance.
"Draw your swords!" Merut said, walking to the hobbits. She placed her hand on Sam's shoulder.
"There are many of them. Save your energy though. Just kill them. There are worse things coming. Prepare to run." Ete said, pulling her bowstring back and releasing an arrow into a creature. She knew that the arrows would be useless, so she took the daggers from her boots after placing her bow away. "Ready yourselves!"
"When did you know what to say in these situations?" Aragorn asked Ete while holding his sword, awaiting the oncoming attack.
"I'm a writer." And with that, the door burst open and the mass slaughter began. The fight lasted for an era.
"E.T.?" Merut yelled across the room to Ete while cleanly slicing off a head of a goblin.
"Yeah, Merut?" Ete said, stabbing a goblin between the eyes.
"Did the fight scene last this long in the movie?"
"Beats me!" Just then, the troll came in.
"I refuse to kill that thing!" Merut said, running as far away from the troll as she could and kept maintaining the distance while killing more and more goblins.
"I feel sad for it." Ete said, sitting and pondering the thought of what the troll may have gone through, occasionally killing a passing goblin.
"We don't have time for this, E.T.!" Merut said, snagging her friend and killing another goblin.
"Look!" Ete said, pointing to the cave troll. He had hit Frodo. "He's hit." She ran to the hobbit and kneeled beside him. "I'll get him better." She sat there, shaking Frodo and resting his head easier while the group continued to fight. When all was silent, Aragorn crawled over, completely sad. All gathered around him, thinking him dead.
"He's fine." Ete said, smiling. At that moment, Frodo awoke, coughing. "He just got the wind knocked out of him."
"That spear would've-." Aragorn started, but Merut intruded.
"Skewered a wild boar." Merut said. She placed her crossbow on her back. "Show him the Mithril, Frodo." And Frodo revealed the vest. All of them "ooh"ed and "ah"ed. Then more goblins were heard.
"The trouble begins." Ete said. She turned to Gandalf. "Bridge of Khazad- dum, Gandalf?"
"Yes." Gandalf said and the troupe started running.
