Disclaimer: I don't own anyone in this story except for Becky and that's
me. Missy belongs to herself. Everyone else belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien.
Author's Note: Thanks a lot to everyone who reviewed. It was really sweet of you. *Smiles* I hope you'll enjoyed my story and I hope you will review more. PLEASE? I really love to know what people think of my lovely little story. Also the Elvish that they're speaking is Sindarin in case anyone wanted to know. If my translations or Elvish is incorrect please tell me. Also I have combined a teeny tiny reference of the book of The Fellowship of The Ring with the movie in here. Hope you don't mind.
Maybe you're wondering why you got two whole chapters on one day. I'm feeling extremely happy now that I have two gorgeous posters of a very Hot Elf adorning my bedroom door. *Sighs and kisses the posters*
Chapter 10: The Ring Goes South
"We must hold to this course, west from the Misty Mountains for forty days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. From there our road turns east to Mordor," Gandalf said as the Fellowship stopped for lunch on a ridge in the country of Hollin.
"Ooh Mordor!" Becky said, helping herself to sausages. "How interesting."
The original Fellowship just shook their heads and looked away.
Boromir began to teach Merry and Pippin swordplay.
"Two, one, five. Good. Very good!" Boromir commented.
Aragorn was smoking his pipe. "Move your feet."
"You look good Pippin," Merry told his cousin.
"Thanks," Pippin replied.
"Faster!" Boromir said.
"If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way round. Gandalf! We could pass through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome," Gimli said to Gandalf.
"No, Gimli. I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice," Gandalf replied.
Legolas caught sight of something in the distance and he leaped nimbly up onto a rock.
Becky leaped up after him but succeeded in tripping over a rock and went flying backwards.
She landed in heap at Gandalf and Gimli's feet.
Boromir laughed so hard he lost control of the sword and hits Pippin, who he is fighting with, on his hand.
"Ahh!" Pippin cried, shaking his hand.
"Sorry," Boromir said quickly.
"Get him!" Pippin yelled, tackling Boromir.
"For the Shire!" Merry also tackled Boromir.
Aragorn flashed a rare smile.
"Hold him. Hold him down, Merry!" Pippin called.
"You've got my arm! You've got my arm!" Merry cried.
"What is that?" Sam asked, noticing the shapes in the distance.
"Nothing," Gimli assured him. "It's just a wisp of cloud."
Boromir had surrendered to the hobbits and they were all getting to their feet.
"It's moving fast. Against the wind," Boromir noticed.
"Eeeee!" Becky shrieked just before Legolas said, "Crebain from Dunland!"
"HIDE!" Aragorn yelled, causing Becky and Missy to nearly stuff cotton into their ears.
"Well say it loud enough for the birds to hear why don't you?" Becky grumbled, grabbing up her suitcases.
"Merry!" Boromir called.
"Frodo! Hurry. Take cover," Aragorn instructed.
Sam put out the fire and grabbed the pan of sausages. Everyone else scurried about grabbing their belongings and dashing behind the rocks or to the cover of trees.
Aragorn grabbed Frodo and they ran under the cover of some rocks.
Just then the Crebain swooped down and began circling the area, examining it thoroughly.
Finally the Crebain swoop off and the Fellowship emerges from their hiding places.
"Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched," Gandalf said. "We must take the pass of Caradhras."
They all turned to stare up at the tall mountain that loomed behind them, its peak covered with snow.
"Ooh. Brr," Becky and Missy said simultaneously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They trudged slowly up Caradhras and already the snow was ankle deep and rising higher about them.
Frodo tripped and fell, tumbling down the slope.
"Should have made a little hobbit snowball," Becky commented as Aragorn rushed to help Frodo to his feet.
Frodo brushed the snow off his clothes and furiously searches for the Ring. He realizes he dropped it.
Boromir picks up the Ring by its chain with his right hand.
"Boromir!" Aragorn said, looking all hot and ranger-y with his hair blowing in the wind.
"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing," Boromir reached out his left hand to touch the Ring.
"Boromir! Give the Ring to Frodo!" Aragorn said.
Boromir as if just out of a trance walked to Aragorn and Frodo. "As you wish."
He held out the Ring which Frodo promptly grabbed.
"I care not," Boromir laughed and ruffled Frodo's hair.
He walked off to where the remaining members of the Fellowship were waiting.
Aragorn removed his hand from the hilt of his sword as Becky and Missy came stumbling back down the mountain.
"Frodo!" Becky said, running to Frodo, a Milky Way bar in her hand. "You fell? Take this little gifty from Becky and Missy and you'll feel better."
She opened the Milky Way bar and handed it to the hobbit who gratefully began to nibble it as it had frozen rock solid.
Aragorn eyed the candy bar with obvious hunger but didn't say anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Crebain swoop into Isengard where Saruman is awaiting them.
"So Gandalf, you tried to lead them over Caradhras. And if that fails, where then will you go?" Saruman said.
Becky and Missy suddenly appeared in Isengard, a few inches from Saruman who leaped in surprise and stared at them.
"Well, we'll have to go through Moria and then when we lose Ga-" Missy said but Becky clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Hey don't give away our secrets," Becky scolded and they disappeared once again.
"That was odd," Saruman blinked but quickly waved the thought of the strangely attired girls away.
"If the mountain defeats you, will you risk a more dangerous road?" Saruman asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fellowship minus one trudged along through the bitter cold and snow. Aragorn and Boromir each held two hobbits while Becky and Missy had latched themselves onto Aragorn's coat; Gimli stumbled along in front of them and Gandalf up ahead, ploughed through the snow.
Legolas was slightly ahead of everyone as he was an Elf and was able to walk atop snow.
"Go Leggy! It's your birthday!" Becky called, from her not-so-warm spot on Aragorn's coat.
"There is a fell voice on the air," Legolas noticed, his beautiful blond hair blowing around his face.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf cried, as boulders fell from above.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf, we must turn back!" Aragorn shouted, struggling to be heard over Saruman.
"NO!" Gandalf shouted back and lifted his staff. He began shouting something. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saruman is standing atop the pinnacle of Orthanc, staff in hand.
He was shouting a spell to raise Caradhras but Becky appeared, hands on hips.
"Hello? Would you like, stop doing that? Like, my Elf's hair is getting so totally ravaged from the cold weather and all that leaping around to avoid the boulders," Becky said in a high-pitched voice. "Could you like, stop? Like, please?"
Saruman glared at her and with a gesture of his left hand, flung her off the edge of the pinnacle of Orthanc.
Moments later Becky came floating up in midair on a purple magic carpet, courtesy of Elrondie.
"Like, that wasn't very nice. Like I'm gonna teach you a lesson," Becky said but then glanced at her watch which conveniently had started working again. "Whoops. Gotta get back to mah darling Elf! Bye-bye."
She disappeared leaving a very confused Saruman the White staring after her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bolt of lightning hit the mountain, bringing down snow and rocks.
The Fellowship are buried for a few moments.
First Legolas pops out of the snow like a little daffodil. (A\N: I always say that when I see him do that. Dunno why.)
Aragorn struggled out with the hobbits and then he and Legolas proceeded to dig out Becky and Missy who were still attached to Aragorn's coat but were half-buried in the snow.
As soon as Legolas pulled Becky out of the snow she screeched and wrapped her arms around him.
"My hero, my sweet, my darling. My Elf! You have saved me from eternal freezing," Becky sighed. "Thank you my darling."
"You are most welcome," Legolas replied, courteously as ever.
"We must get off the mountain! Make for the Gap of Rohan! Or take the west road to my city!" Boromir cried.
"The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard," Aragorn replied.
"If we cannot pass over the mountain. Let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of Moria," Gimli suggested.
"Moria. You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke there in the darkness of Khazad-dûm: shadow and flame." Gandalf heard Saruman's voice in his head.
"Will you stop flustering the poor old wizard, Saruman?" Becky said.
"Why are you hearing me?" Saruman asked, now in both Becky and Gandalf's head.
"Because I'm special!" Becky said.
To everyone else except Gandalf it looked as if she were talking to herself.
Pippin pointed his hand at his temple and swirled it around in a circle.
"She's crazy," he whispered to Merry.
"Tell me about it. She has good food though," Merry whispered back. "And that puts her in my good books."
"Let the Ring bearer decide," Gandalf said. "Frodo?"
Frodo looked around at all the tired faces, worn out from the cold weather and he immediately knew what he must do.
"We will go through the mines," Frodo said.
"So be it," Gandalf said, his face slightly grave.
"Ooh. Nice and warm Moria!" Becky said, shivering.
