Chapter 2: Transportation
As the four teenagers strolled into the theater, the previews rolled on. They seated themselves towards the middle of the theater and settled down with their popcorn and drinks as they waited for The Two Towers to begin.
Soon enough, the movie began, the lights dimming and the people quieting in eagerness to watch the film they all expected to be extraordinary. And so the movie proceeded as it had in millions of other theaters around the United States, beginning where the Fellowship left off and carrying on with the same characters: Frodo and Sam finding Gollum and following him to the Black Gates of Mordor; Pippin and Merry being kidnapped by the Uro-kai; and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli chasing them; and finally the troubles in Rohan and the inevitable battle at Helm's Deep.
At this point, though not the end of Tolkien's tale of Middle Earth, the story changed. No longer was it the sometimes-discreet changes from the book to the movie, but almost a completely different tale of Middle Earth. The same world, the same people, the same battle for Middle Earth, but one little detail Tolkien overlooked that makes this tale now to be told a very different one, almost an alternate world or future now to be foretold. That one detail? Make it two.two girls.two girls who happened to be in the theater watching a movie about their own home, though they don't know it yet.
Anyways, it was at the point in the movie when Aragorn had just returned to Helm's Deep after falling in a river (I heard that's was not in the book, that sucks, it's a cool scene.). Then the elves arrived to aid in the battle, and as a storm pulled in the armies of the wizard Saruman were about to march up before Helm's Deep. The theater was quiet. Come to me. Michelle, who had been hanging onto the events in the movie, was snapped from her concentration. "Huh?" she said rather loudly. A couple behind her shushed her. "Sorry." She whispered.
Simran turned to her, tearing her gaze from the large screen to check on here friend. "What's wrong?" she barely even whispered, more mouthed it.
"Nothing, just thought I heard some one talking to me, forget it." She whispered back just as quietly. Simran simply looked at her questioningly, then turned her attention back to the movie.
Come to me..There is was again, that voice that seemed to be calling to her in no more than a mere whisper. This time, Michelle chose not to say anything, but ignore it. Taiel..come to me.. The voice continued. 'Who the hell is Taiel?' Michelle thought. ' The name sounds familiar.' Come.. 'Just ignore it.' COME... 'Okay, that's great, now its getting louder' she thought, looking around to see if anyone else heard it.
"Michelle, what's wrong?" Simran asked again. She had noticed Michelle looking around, as if looking for someone, but who?
"That voice."
"SSHHH!!!" The man in front of her now silenced her.
"What?" Simran asked.
Come to me, my bride... COME!!
"Bride? I'm not engaged." Michelle thought out loud.
"SSSSHHHHHH!!!!"
"Michelle!" Simran whispered warningly now. She touched her friend's arm to get her attention.
Saura, bring her to me. The both of you belong to me! She heard it, a voice in her head. Simran quickly withdrew her hand.
Come... "Shut up!" Michelle whispered angrily. Come!!! Simran watched in fear. What was going on? "SHUT UP!!!" Michelle now yelled.
"WHY DON'T YOU, BITCH? SHUT UP!!" Someone yelled in the theater. Now Toby and Aman were watching her to. In the movie, darkness was approaching; the uro-kai could be seen coming in the distance.
Come to me, Taiel. "NO!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD." Michelle now screamed out as she stood up grasping her head.
Simran stood up with her. "MICHELLE!!" As she took a hold of Michelle's arm, the voice sounded once more, now much louder, as if it was blasted from an ultra-loud surround sound system. YOU ARE MINE!!
With that, they were engulfed in light, to them, it seemed as if everything was muted, all sound leaving. They could see angry people around them rising and yelling, only to scream as they were blinded by the light that engulfed the two girls. All they saw after that seemed almost slow motion. They saw their brothers rise and try to reach out to them. After the flash, they could see the boy's arms covering their eyes slowly come down then fade, followed by the space around them. Everything was going dark. All they could see now was their astonished faces, and slowly but surely, that faded too, and they were left in darkness.
* * *
It was dark, the sun had set and the sky had been covered with clouds leaving no room for starlight to shine through. The only light came from the cold glow of the torches of the approaching uro-kai armies, all bearing the white hand of the wizard, Saruman. The occasional lightning flash lit the skies enough to shed light upon the battle field revealing endless masses of uro-kai marking forth to the fort of Helm' Deep where it was lodged in the mountainside.
Helm's Deep, which usually stood tall and fearless, now almost seemed to cower in the face of the black masses. Upon the battle walls of Helm's Deep were only men and elves, hopelessly outnumbered by the approaching armies. Archers stood at the ready watching the army's approach. Towards the center of the wall, there was a gap in the ranks, only one man wide. From the outside, a head could be seen popping up from behind the wall. If one were close enough to hear, they would hear the dwarf who stood there yelling, "What's going on? I can't see a damned thing that's going on!" in a deep gruff voice.
The fair elven man beside him chuckled as he mocked the dwarf. "Would you like me to get you a box, or would you rather I describe it to you?" the dwarf looked up at the said elf, and laughed in response.
There was one particularly strong flash of lightning that completely lit the area, fields, armies, and all. The uro-kai could be seen marching forth with their long spears and swords, carrying ladders and other forms of attack with them. The armies of Helm's Deep lifted up their arrows preparing to take aim at the uro-kai armies below. However, there was something odd about the battlefield. Right between the uro-kai armies and the walls of Helm's Deep, there was a dark area, which is in actually the shadows behind the large boulder in the middle of the field that one of the uro-kai leaders will come to climb and initialize the attack. Hidden in those shadows were in fact two stunned human girls, none other than Simran and Michelle from the theatre. They stood in complete and utter shock facing up to Helm's Deep and seeing the rows of archers at the ready there, seemingly looking at them.
"HOLY SHIT!!" Michelle whispered fervently
"Where the hell are we?" Simran finished on Michelle's thoughts. It was dark, it was humid, and they were lost. And it seemed as though the hundreds of archer's upon the fort's walls were aiming at them. "Are they aiming at us?"
Michelle who had been looking up at the many archers looked away to take in their surroundings. "Question one; answer: I think a battle field. Question two; answer; no," Michelle had noticed the boulder behind them and had dared to look behind it. There she saw masses upon masses of hideous creatures armed with an array of weapons quickly approaching the very boulder they hid behind. She now leaned back against the rock face and with a blank look on her face, pointed back. "They're aiming at them."
Simran looked around the other side of the boulder. All breathe that she had within her lungs left faster than a roach when you turn the light on in a kitchen. It was gone before she knew she even had it. "We're going to die.." She rasped.
She turned when she heard laughing to her left. It was Michelle. "Well, at least we know, things cannot possible get any worse than this!" There was another flash of lightning, then. As if to spite the girls, it began to rain.
Simran sighed. The shock had left, and these not being normal girls, they were now looking at the dark side of things. "It just did. Great going."
