On with Chapter III.
BTW: This is a TTT Spoilers SO BEWARE!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ Aragorn is lying with his eyes closed and his ear pressed to the ground, listening for the sound of the trampling feet of the Uruk-hai they are tracking.
"I think your husband, lost it, Nicole." I whispered. "He needs a shower more than I thought." Xhemile said waving her hand in front on her face.
Aragorn head turned towards us. We all quickly looked away. Legolas heard the whole conversation, and chuckled.
"Don't think I can't hear you laughing Legolas." I said looking at Legolas.
His head quickly turns the other way, as he is wasn't listening in at all.
"Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent. Hurry!" Aragorn said as he runs off.
"Most likely your scent." I said referring to Aragorn. As I waved my hand in from of my face.
Nicole whacks me in the shoulder.
"Ow!" I said.
"Come on Gimli." Legolas says as he looks back at the girls, and Gimli, and runs off to catch Aragorn.
"Three days' and nights' pursuit. No food. No rest. And no sign of our quarry but what bare rock can tell." Gimli said.
"Damn you're slow." Nikki said running ahead of Gimli.
The Seven Hunters run across rocks and plains, with Aragorn in the lead, followed by Legolas, Myself, Nikki, Nicole, Ashley, and Gimli. From time to time, Legolas looks back to make sure that Gimli is keeping up. Aragorn suddenly bends down to pick up an Elven brooch from the ground. "Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall." Aragorn says.
"It's Merry's or Pippin's!" Ashley said.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious!!" Nikki said.
"Stop stealing my words!!" I said bumping into Nikki. (A/N: They do this all the time it pisses me off!)
'I wish I had some gum.' I thought.
All of a sudden in my tunic pocket were five packets of Orbit gum. I open it and put a piece in my mouth, and start chewing it.
I kind of chewed a little too loud, and Legolas hears me. (A/N: _) Legolas thinks he is hearing things, so he ignores it.
Legolas stops, and turns to Aragorn," They may let me alive."
Nicole whispers, "Ya think?"
"Less than a day ahead of us. Come!" Aragorn says as he runs off again.
"I am wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!" Gimli says as he is panting.
"Sure they are, Gimli." Ashley says.
"Rohan. Home of horse-lords. There is something strange at work here. Some evil gives speed to these creatures, sets its will against us. " Aragorn said.
Legolas runs ahead, and looks out to the horizon.
"Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?" Aragorn asks.
"HEY!! I have elf eyes, too!!" I said.
"Fine, Randi what do your elf eyes see?" Aragorn asks.
"I dunno." I said.
Legolas holds in his laughter and responds," The Uruks turn northeast. They are talking the hobbits to Isengard!"
"Saruman." Aragorn said.
"Dun!! Dun!!" I said.
"Keep breathing! That's the key! Breathe! Ho!" Gimli said.
"I won't be surprised if you collapse." I said. (A/N: Everyone was in front of Gimli. I was behind Legolas. Ashley was in front of Gimli.)
He shot a glare at me, and growled. I stuck my tongue out at him.
*** The Tower of Orthanc stands amidst the smoldering caverns of Isengard. Saruman stands in his chamber communicating with Sauron, the Dark Lord, by means of the Palantir.
"The world is changing." Saruman said.
"Who now has the strength to stand against the Armies of Isengard and Mordor? To stand against the Might of Sauron and Saruman and the Union of the Two Towers?" Saruman said.
"Together, my lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle Earth." Saruman said.
*~ Flashback~*
The trees around Isengard are being ripped down, chopped up and used to feed huge furnaces. The caverns of Isengard glow with the reflections of the flames, the sounds of hammering fill the air and molten iron is poured into casts to forge the weapons of the Enemy.
*~End Flashback~*
"The old world will burn in the fires of industry. Forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us." Saruman said.
Saruman stands in the midst of a gathering of the Wildmen of Dunland.
"The horsemen took your land. They drove your people into the hills to scratch a living off rocks." Saruman said.
"Murderers!" Dunlander said.
"Take back the lands they stole from you! Burn every village!" Saruman said.
Crowd roars in approval.
As Saruman stands coldly still among the stampede, the mob charges off to destroy the country of Rohan. A Rohan village is in pandemonium as people try to escape the on-coming rampage.
"It will begin in Rohan. Too long have these peasants stood against you. But no more." Saruman said.
***
A group of horsemen ride to Edoras. Éomer is in the lead, carrying a gravely wounded Théodred. Éowyn runs hastily up the stairs to the front doors of the Golden Hall and enters a bedchamber. She runs to the bed.
"Théodred!" Éowyn yells.
Théodred seems to hear her call but is unable to respond. He has a bloody gash on the side of his head. Éomer nods to Éowyn in the direction of Théodred's torso. Éowyn draws back the covers and, upon seeing Théodred's fatal wound, tightens her lips and closes her eyes. She looks up to catch Éomer's glance.
In the Great Room of Meduseld, the Golden Hall, Éomer and Éowyn are speaking to Théoden-King, who sits motionless on his throne, wizened and aged beyond his years.
"Your son has been badly wounded, my lord." Éowyn said.
"He was ambushed by Orcs. If we don't defend our country, Saruman will take it by force." Éomer said.
"That's a lie!" Grima yelled.
He appears from the shadows and says," Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally."
Théoden mumbles feebly," Grima? Grima?"
Grima leans down close to the King
"My son...? Grima...?" Théoden.
"Orcs are running freely across our lands. Unchecked. Unchallenged. Killing at will. Orcs bearing the White Hand of Saruman." Éomer says.
He drops a helmet onto the ground. It topples over to clearly reveal Saruman's symbol - the White Hand.
"Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind. Can you not see? Your uncle is wearied by your malcontent, your war-mongering." Grima asks.
"War-mongering?" Éomer asks.
Éomer grabs Grima and pins him against a pillar.
"How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Grima? When all the men are dead, you will take your share of the treasure?"
Grima's eyes flick to the right, looking at Éowyn as she walks by. Éowyn stops to stare back for a moment before departing from the hall. Éomer jerks Grima again and clutches his hand around Grima's jaw.
"Too long have you watched my sister, too long have you haunted her steps." Éomer says.
Grima's eyes look to the left and he relaxes as Éomer is suddenly pulled off him by some of Théodan's men who have turned traitor and are now in collusion with Grima.
"You see much Éomer, Son of Éomund. Too much."
The thugs punch Éomer in the stomach.
"You are banished forthwith from the Kingdom of Rohan. Under pain of death!" Grima said.
Éomer is dragged away.
***
The Seven Hunters are still chasing after the Uruk-hai. It is dawn.
"The red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night." Legolas said.
"Poor little guys." Ashley says.
The trackers hear the sound of horses. Aragorn and company hide behind some boulders.
"Ow! What the--?" I said before I could finish Legolas covered my mouth. (A/N: ^_^)
A large group of horsemen appears over the crest of a hill, galloping quickly, with their banners flying. Aragorn comes out of hiding as they pass, followed by Legolas, Myself, Nikki, Nicole, Ashley, and Gimli.
"Riders of Rohan, what news from the Mark?" Aragorn asks.
At a signal from Éomer, in the lead, the riders start to turn and head back towards the Three, surrounding them in ever-tightening circles. As they come to a stop, they point their long spears menacingly at them.
"What business does two Elves, a Man, three Women, and a Dwarf have in Riddermark? Speak quickly." Éomer asks.
"Our Business is our own." I said.
"Oh really." Éomer said.
"Did I shutter?" I asked.
Éomer hands his staff to another rider, and gets off his horse. Aragorn puts a hand on my shoulder.
I go up to Éomer, and quickly kick him in the leg. (A/N: LOL!! Haha!^_^) Éomer clenches his leg, where I kick him. Éomer raises his hand, as if he was going to slap me.
"So much stupidly from an she-elf." Éomer said right when he was about to slap me.
Legolas, in a lightning fast move, points an arrow at Éomer "You would die before your hand touched her." Legolas said.
The riders all point their spears closer to the travelers.
"Nice going, Randi." Ashley said.
Aragorn pushes down Legolas' arm, and pulls me back.
"Ke'yesh!" Legolas and I said in unison. (A/N: It means Lowlife, scum)
"I am Aragorn, This is Gimli, he is Legolas, The girl who kicked you was Randi, This is Ashley, That is Nicole, and she is called Nikki. We are friends of Rohan and of Théoden, your King." Aragorn said.
"Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe." Éomer said as he takes off his helmet.
"Not even his own kin." Éomer said as the spears are withdrawn.
"Saruman has poisoned the mind of the King and claims lordship over his lands. My company are those loyal to Rohan. And for that, we are banished. The White Wizard is cunning. He walks here and there, they say, as an old man, hooded and cloaked. And everywhere his spies slip past our nets." Éomer said.
"We are net spies. We track a party of Uruk-hai westward across the plain. They've taken two of our friends captive." Aragorn said.
"The Uruks are destroyed. We slaughtered them during the night." Éomer said.
"But there were two Hobbits? Did you see two Hobbits with them?" Gimli asked.
"They are small, they would look like children to you." Nikki said.
"We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them." Éomer said.
He points to a smoking pile in the distance.
"They're dead?" Gimli asks.
"I'm sorry." Eomer said.
"Poor Merry, Poor Pippin." I said.
Legolas puts a hand on my shoulder in grief. (A/N: ^_^) Éomer turns and whistles.
Four horses move up.
"May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters. Farewell." Eomer says as he put his helmet back on, and gets back on his horse.
"Look for your friends. But do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands."
He calls to the Horsemen of Rohan, the Rohirrim
"We ride north!"
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli look on as the Riders go off. They then ride towards the burning carcasses. Gimli starts to shift through the smoldering pile and pulls out a charred belt and a dagger sheath
"It's one of their wee belts."
"Hiro îth ab 'wanath..." (A/N: It means may they find peace after death) Legolas said bowing his head and closing his eyes.
I put my hand on his shoulder, whispering something in elvish. Only he can hear. Legolas looks in my eyes, and nods.
Aragorn kicks an Uruk helmet and yells," ARGHHH!"
Aragorn falls to his knees.
"We failed them." Gimli said.
"Don't say anything. It will change the events." Nicole whispered.
Aragorn looks to the side as some tracks catch his attention.
"A Hobbit lay here, and the other." He says.
*~ Flashback~*
Pippin yells as he looks up and see the hooves of a rearing horse about to crush him. He rolls over, avoiding the hooves.
*~End Flashback~*
"They crawled."
Aragorn starts to follow the tracks everyone is behind him.
~Flashback~
Merry and Pippin crawl frantically away from the battle.
~End Flashback~
"Their hands were bound."
~Flashback~
Merry rubs his ropes furiously against the sharp edge of a weapon lying on the ground.
~End Flashback~
"Their bonds were cut."
Aragorn holds up a broken length of thick rope.
"They ran over here and were followed."
"The tracks lead away from the battle..."
The Seven break into a run and then stop.
"...into Fangorn Forest."
They look up into a dense and dark forest.
"Fangorn. What madness drove them in there?" Gimli asks.
