Thanks for this chapter goes espessially to sandy, who told me to change the summary. I think she was right! THANKYOU!

A/N: I would like to pause a moment to explain some things. Kat and Sirrah is an on going jokeish thing between me and (mostly) one of my friends. The basis of the story was us talking about the very secret diaries (by Cassie claire) and us laughing at how funny it would be if we actually said anything about it to the actual fellowship, then my friend said something about how we'd wreck havoc on middle earth, and it turned into this. I'm going to explain here where the magic came from, because it probably wont find its way into the story. My friend actually is a fortune teller, she's seen things that happen in her dreams, you laugh, but its happened before. I have a talent for being able to tell when something is there, and a talent for speaking and poetry. I just amplified what little freaky quirks we both have, and figured that that would be the explination. Anne, well, she read the beginnings and wanted in, so I just took her talent for driving people up the wall, and just generally being odd, twisted it to my own devices (A way to get us out of Saurons way, and taunt both evil overlords at the same time.) and voiala, instant character. She actually evolved into something much bigger, but that's later. Much much later. Any way, that's about it, I've explained the little mary sueish bits and why they're there

Right, well, I'll stop boring you with my huge authors note, so here you go;

Chapter 9: In which our heros make up a lame story, learn to ride again, and looked at oddly.

~^~

"Um…Hi Boromir."

He just stared at them. It occurred to the girls that having an exact copy of the body that was lying beside them stare at them menacingly was rather…disturbing.

"Don't worry" said Sirrah, "You're not dead…It's a good thing" she explained condescendingly.

"Um, Sirrah, we'd better hurry, the rest are coming."

"And just what do you plan on saying to them?" Said Boromir.

They looked at eachother.

"Um, haven't planned that far yet…"

Boromir put his head in his hands and groaned.

"I should have followed the orcs…"

"Oh! That's a good Idea." said Kat brightly.

"But what do we do when we find them?"

"Erm…he got lost along the way!"

"I suppose, they'll look at us oddly though…"

"Don't they already?"

Sirrah shrugged.

"Just thought I'd let you know."

~^~

A few batches of leaves and an invisibility spell slash warding spell later, Boromir was safely hidden away and the girls were refining their story. Just in time too, because Aragorn burst through the trees just as they finished.

"Oh, hello Aragorn, have you seen Boromir?"

Aragorn looked closely at them.

"I was hoping that you had."

"No, we have not, though we heard his call from somewhere aver here…"

Aragorn sighed.

"Have you seen the hobbits?"

"Besides the ones that went off to Mordor together?"

Aragorn looked at them oddly as they began to giggle, finding it to be no laughing matter.

"Yes. To be precise, Merry and Pippin."

"Oh, them…" Kat sighed, her humor gone. "They were taken by orcs before we could reach them. Boromir must have pursued."

Aragorn nodded.

"It would be natrual for one such as him."

Kat and Sirrah turned to look at a seemingly blank space, though to them, it was occupied by Boromir. A rather surprised looking Boromir at that. Sirrah hid a grin and nodded.

"Yes, I do believe that it would."

~^~

Soon Legolas and Gimli came sneaking through the brush, quietly and silently. Well, nearly.

"Legolas, the orcs are gone. Will you and Gimli come out? Your driving me up the wall!"

Presently, the two came out of the trees, and Sirrah shook her head.

"Nice Kat, surprise them half to death why don't you?"

Kat nodded.

"My job."

'I don't think that the three men that we a with right now…'

'Men?'

'Ok, Male persons, will appreciate that.'

Kat shrugged.

"Your probly right."

The remaining fellowship looked at them oddly. Legolas just shook his head at the picture the girls made. Kat was leaning up against a tree, looking in a slight amount of pain. Sirrah was looking rather proud of herself, he wasn't sure why.

"What of you? Were have you been Lady Kat, Lady Sirrah?"

Kat chuckled.

"Well, after taking care of some things, I tried to follow you, but got…sidetracked when somebody blew the horn of Gondor."

At this Sirrah suddenly doubled up, laughing. Kat looked at her a moment, then gasped and began to laugh. Aragorn glanced at Legolas, then at the girls.

"What do you mean somebody? The only one to blow the horn of Gondor is Boromir."

This did not help, the girls were now laughing harder than ever, though Kat was saying something which sounded distinctly like 'ow' amidst the gales. Kat gained control first, mostly because she couldn't laugh without support from her knee, which still hurt.

"Yeah. Any way," she said 'anyway' very loudly to Sirrah, who finally got the hint and calmed down. "I got here and Sirrah was here looking around."

Sirrah huffed, thinking the end of Kat's story lame, which it was.

"I was trying to figure out out where Boromir had gotten to smart one."

Kat shrugged, leaving Sirrah to explain her part in the morning's activitys.

"Anyway, I ran up to where Frodo was, talked to him for a second, ran down here, saw him and Sam off," at this the three looked at eachother wonderingly. "By the way Kat, be prepared to be gollumped by Sam when you see him next," Kat giggled. "And then ran up here when…" she chuckled, then regained control. "When I heard the horn of Gondor. When I got here, there was nothing left. Boromir must have seen them take the hobbits and followed."

Aragorn did not give voice to the thought that the river was not so far away that she could have heard the horn and not reached it within a minute or two. Instead he asked after Frodo.

"You, Lady Sirrah, you saw Frodo and Sam off to Mordor?"

Sirrah nodded.

"Yes, they have gone."

"Without us!" exclaimed Gimli.

Sirrah nodded.

"Afraid so."

Legolas just shook his head, Aragorn was thinking.

"We can help Frodo no longer. But the rest of our band is in need help. Come, leave all that can be spared behind, we will give chase day and night!"

Legolas and Gimli slowly grinned, as did Kat and Sirrah, for different reasons of course.

~^~

Quickly, they helped the fellowship gather their goods together. But when the three turned from the shore, Kat stopped.

"Well Sirrah, here it is, the moment of truth."

"Wasn't that this morning?"

"Theres a blue light special today, two for the price of one."

Sirrah smirked.

"So what's the afternoon order?"

Kat put fingers to her lips and whistled as loud as she possibly could in reply. The sound raised echos across the entire valley.

"What…" began Aragorn.

"Just a minute, they're coming."

Suddenly, all three were on their guard, hearing distant crunching of leaves. As it grew closer, Legolas put an arrow to his bow. Suddenly Sirrah called out to them,

"Don't even think about shooting them!"

Legolas looked puzzled, but angled his bow down. He brought it up again though, when two forms came crashing through the underbrush. After a millisecond he put it down again though, laughing merrily.

"Look at what we wait for so nervously, a few horses! Lady Kat, why did you not tell us?"

Kat shrugged.

"I didn't know whether they would be able to follow. Getting through the mines was an especially big problem, but I figured Cahadras would let a few horses pass."

Aragorn shook his head; it seemed to him that the girls had known all along that they were going through Moria! The horses also looked familier.

"Are those the horses you had at weathertop?"

The bay tossed its head as if in answer.

"Tiro, stop it, yes they are. The bay is Tiro, and the red roan is Chaos."

Sirrah was petting Chaos at a distance, a stark contrast to Kat, who was hugging Tiro around the neck.

"Tiro?" asked Legolas.

Kat shrugged.

"Look in elvish, don't need to tell you though."

"You know elvish?"

"A miniscule amount."

"More than most of the people in our world." Said Sirrah.

"Yeah, but a lot less than some."

Sirrah nodded.

"Like Tolkein."

"Duh, he made it up…oh dear…that's just an odd thing to think of."

Sirrah shook her head.

"Stop it, you're giving me a headache."

Kat shrugged.

"Not you I'm worried about, come on, get on."

Sirrah looked at Chaos.

"Saddle?" she squeaked.

Kat looked at her with an eyebrow arched.

"Hardly. I did bring the reigns though."

Aragorn looked slightly stunned until Kat turned to him.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go! We'll follow as soon as I get this fraidy cat on the horse."

"Oh Kat…"

Kat slapped her head.

"Don't tell me."

She turned around, confirming her suspisions. Sirrah was already on the horse. Kat sighed.

"Figures." She muttered.

The three looked at eachother, and suddenly Aragorn took off. Legolas and Gimli grinned at eachother like children, then ran after him. Kat swooned slightly. Sirrah giggled.

"Drooly fangirl meltdown?"

Kat just nodded.

"Yep. I love that part."

~^~

Sirrah and Kat soon relearned how to ride, with only a few mishaps. Sirrah almost slid off, but stopped just in time. Kat was being to careful not to slide off, her knee still wasn't up to anything like trying to land a fall. Soon they had the knack of it again and were racing ahead of the three. They, in turn, looked up at the girls, shaking their heads as they ran. Kat felt kind of bad that they were riding and the guys weren't, but couciled herself in that this way, they wouldn't interfere so much. They were ok at tracking, and seeing as the orcs left a trail only a blind and none smelling person could miss, they soon come up within eyesight of the orcs.

"Should we follow?"

Kat shook her head.

"No, we have to let them suffer this, otherwise they'll never get the ents, and the guys won't find Gandalf."

Sirrah sighed.

"Finally."

'Finally what?'

The girls jumped, they had forgotten that Boromir could do just about anything while Astral.

"Oh, you'll find out, and I'm looking forward to your reaction."

Boromir shook his head and drifted off, confused by Kat's answer. Without another word, the girls wheeled their horses around and began to go back to the three.

~^~

When they came back, it was early afternoon. They rode around for awhile, looking at the land and trying to sort out what was coming, though they were pretty sure. When they finally went back, it was early evening, and Aragorn was kneeling over a few dead orcs.

"What happened?" asked Sirrah "I could have sworn you don't get attacked!"

Legolas shook his head, as did Kat, though for different reasons.

"Sirrah, stop it, your scaring them. And no, they didn't get attacked, the orcs are stupid remember? They killed eachother, some idiot wanted to go back to the local evil overlord."

"Which one? Theres two!"

"The one with the glittery mascara."

"No, he's lacking the glittery mascara, right now its just the flames…flames…" Sirrah chuckled over the thought of fire.

Kat glanced at her pyromatistic friend as Aragorn nodded.

"Yes, I believe you are right, a quarrel took place here, for none of the orcs here are those with the strange badge. Pehaps it was a dispute over the road."

"Or the captives," said Gimli darkley, "I hope that they did not meet their end here as well."

"Nah" said Kat offhandedly, "Sauraman wants 'em alive. Stupid git wants Frodo…."

She trailed off at Sirrah's sharp look in the darkness.

"Opps." She said softly into the night. Aragorn and Legolas were looking at her strangely, Sirrah was glaring slightly.

'Sheesh, and you tell me not to scare them.'

'oops.'

Aragorn straightened from his search.

"Come, we must go. Lady Kat, Lady Sirrah, let your horses drink and rest for a spell, we will mark our trail."

Sirrah shook her head.

"No, there are unfriendly eyes in these parts, and besides, it will slow you. Wait a second."

And she selected a few rocks from the stream bed next to them. Holding them in her hand, she closed her eyes and let her magic seep into them. She then took it back, leaving just a trace, and handed them to Aragorn.

"Here, keep these in your pocket, and drop them about once an hour. There's enough for five hours, two hours for our horses rest, two hours for us to reach you, and an hour for allowances in case we get side tracked or lost. We should reach you by that time."

Aragorn took them and tucked them deep into a pocket. Kat, who had taken the horses was shaking her head in amusement, Sirrah had the oddest ideas at the oddest moments, but they usually worked.

~^~

The girls decided against a true ward, instead opting for a simple warning spell. Kat had gotten the hang of it by now, but was slightly worried about them waking up. She finally gave up, telling the horses to wake them when they were ready, but not to take too long.

Thankfully, her trust was put well in the horses. They were woken withing their time limit, though Kat suspected that it had been three hours rather than two. She shrugged and looked at Sirrah, washing her face in the stream.

"Well, Guess we should go, I think we're late."

Sirrah nodded drearily.

"Yeah, wash your face, it helps."

Kat did so, coming back feeling much better.

"Lets go! You know were we're goin?"

Sirrah glared.

"You know, you're much to chipper for three hours of sleep."

Kat shrugged.

"Do you know where we're headed?"

Sirrah nodded and kicked Chaos into a gallop, nearly sliding off but righting herself just in time. Kat still thought she heard a small squeak of surprise.

~^~

They found the fellowship in due time, while over looking a great valley. It was mid morning now, and they could just barely see the three running in a single file line. Kat put fingers to her lips and whistled as loud as she could. It echoed, and Aragorn suddenly turned, but they soon saw that he had turned off of the trail to look at something. Only Legolas looked up to see their waves. But he was much to excited to wave back due to Aragorn's news. This was fine, since the girls had already dismounted and begun to lead the horses down the steep trail to the plain. When they reached it, they mounted and began to run as fast as the horses cared to go, which was sometimes a trot, and sometimes a gallop. They knew better than to push them, but were none the less excited that they were going to find Gandalf in a few days. When they pulled along side, Aragorn smiled up and called for a halt.

"What news from behind us Women of Angmar?"

kat smiled.

"Nothin much, Sirrah's spell worked beautifully, you found the leaf from pippin's cloak, erm, I think that's it."

Aragorn shook his head.

"yes, I found it, but I am not sure whether it is good tidings or bad."

Sirrah grinned.

"Definatly good, I may as well tell you, but Sauraumen wants them whole and untouched, so they won't touch em. Their leader is…quite charming."

Kat giggled.

"Scarings."

Sirrah looked at her for a moment, then laughed.

"So true, though it's a different evil overlord."

Kat nodded, still giggling. The three just looked at eachother, then started off again. The girls rode ahead again until they could see the orcs, then turned around again. When they came back, it was late evening and the three were standing at the top of the hill. They were discussing whether to rest that night or not. The girls solved it for them.

"Go ahead and rest," said Kat, "We'll ride ahead and leave markers for you."

"But how?" Said Aragorn, "We have no magic to speak of!"

Sirrah shrugged.

"Do you have any more of those rocks I gave you?"

Aragorn nodded, drawing out the last one. Sirrah took it, and let more of her power sink into it, this time holding it for longer. When she handed it back, Aragorn's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he looked at Sirrah with new respect. Suddenly he nodded in what looked like a half bow.

"Truly blessed are those of the realm of Angmar, and these a pair of gems amoungst the rough!"

Sirrah blushed a deeper red than she would ever admit as kat hid a grin. Thanking anything she could think of for the darkness, Sirrah bowed back from her seat, Kat following suit.

"Blessed are those of the dunaden, for the line of kings shall not fall, as it has with us!"

Kat raised an eyebrow.

'You get to sound like me more every day.'

'Shut up.'

Kat chuckled as Sirrah wheeled her horse and set her trotting off. She shrugged at the three's looks.

"What? We didn't get much in the way of compliments like that where we're from!"

And with that, she turned and rode away.
