Tory and Ali Mess with Lord of the Rings
Tory's Chapter 9
A/N: In case you couldn't ell we are kind of going by the movie not the book, even though the book has more to it. They changed The Two Towers so much!!! It's just sad. This is a bit more serious than the other chapters, considering it's a battle. I'm trying to make it as close to the movie as possible, but that's hard considering I haven't seen it in three weeks.(Oh my God!!!!) Anyway, here's the story.
The Battle for Helm's Deep Part II
Tory's POV of Helm's Deep
I was the most scared I had been in my whole entire (short) life. There I was; standing on a wall top, in the pouring rain with my best friend, in a place that people read about, and a bunch of evil beings whose only goal in life was to kill us were marching toward us. I was having one of those "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas" moments. If I made it through this night without peeing in my pants, I would be one happy girl. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those girls who jump at every noise and won't go through The Shortcut on Halloween when it is dark (coughEMILYJESSICAcough). Ali and I are pretty much the closest thing to fearless in our group of friends. But this was terrifying. An army of 10,000 was marching toward us and they were intent on killing me, my best friend, my 'lover', my best friend's boyfriend, the King, down to every last baby I had played with earlier. SCARY! I don't think I need to spell it out any more.
They were almost here. They covered the horizon, muttering and chanting, marching and waving those awful flags. Curse Saruman! Well he would come to a bad end. Tory, shut up, you are revealing the plot.
I could see that the soldiers, old men, and boys around me were scared. There were no women out except for Ali and I and maybe Eowyn. We had been countless times to go down with the other women and children. If so, then what was the stuff that Eowyn told Aragorn about "women learned long ago to use swords" or something like that? I had been refused a sword until Aragorn talked to the person who was giving them out. He made sure that I got a good one. Love is in the air! (Well you can tell that by looking at Ali and Legolas. They are eating each others faces!!!!)
You would think that the Rohirrim would want more fighters. Every human (or elf of dwarf) life I could spare I would. They should be grateful, geez!
The Uruk hai stomped and chanted. I hummed a song that I read on ff.net to keep up my spirits (A/N: I am sorry, I don't know who this belongs to, but if it's yours please tell me. I just know it's not mine!) To the tune of Jingle Bells:
"Sinking in the snow, while Lego walks on top, They travel to Mordor, a bunch of them get caught!
Bells on Bill's tail ring, Gandalf becomes white How fun it is to fight and kill in Helm's Deep here tonight!
Jingle Bells, Pippin smells, Frodo's really short! Lego's hot and Gimli's not and Boromir just croaked!"
Ali stared at me weirdly then burst out laughing, which caused other people to stare at us weirdly. Legolas said something, but I didn't hear it because the Uruk -Hai were really close and started chanting LOUDLY! They were only about 30 feet away from the wall. Suddenly a man let go of his arrow and hit an Uruk-Hai in the neck. It fell over screeching. They chanted and banged their hackers on the ground. Thump! Thump! It thundered in my brain. They charged. The battle was on!
"Ready.Fire!" Aragorn yelled. Arrows whizzed past my ear. The front row of Uruk-Hai fell over, arrows in various body parts. Arrows kept passing my ear. While Gimli and I waited for the Uruk-Hai to breach the wall, we chucked rocks. We were having a game of "10 points if you hit it in the head." I had 130 points. Softball was very helpful in this world. I knocked one out. Score- Tory: 140 Gimli: 10 (it does help if you can see over the wall,)
Suddenly an orc carrying a torch was running toward the wall. I could hear Aragorn yelling for Legolas to kill it. He shot it, but it kept going. It jumped and the wall blew up.
~*~*~*~
"Get up, you must get up!" Gimli was shaking me. I looked up groggily. I must have hit my head.
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Only a few moments." Gimli replied. "You must get up, they have breached the wall!" A bunch of orcs were running at us and the Rohirrim and elves around us. I held my staff. These beings weren't going to kill children while I was living. Plus, I was a Mary-Sue. What could happen to me?
Whack! Thwap! I knocked over an Uruk-Hai. My staff lessons were helping. A bit. I was fighting as hard as I could. It was absolute chaos.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ali slide down the stairs on a shield, with Legolas close behind. Show off! (A/N: I bet you a million dollars that if she did that in real life she would have fallen off. I would pay to see that! That would be really, really, funny!)
All of a sudden I came up against a particularly evil looking Uruk- Hai. I tried to knock him out, but it disarmed me. Then it grabbed me by the throat and started squeezing hard on my cuts. I struggled, kicking and waving my legs. My vision was turning black. I didn't want to die!
A dagger came out of nowhere and stuck in the beast's neck. I dropped on the ground, breathing shallowly. I could see Aragorn's concerned face above me.
"Are you alright?" he asked. I tried to talk but I couldn't. He grabbed my head and looked at my throat.
"Holy Eru," he said looking shocked. "I didn't know it was this bad, I'm so sorry, forgive me." I smiled. Ali came up to us.
"What's wrong?" she asked worriedly.
"An Uruk-Hai was strangling Tory. She can't talk." Aragorn said.
"Oh, don't worry, she'll be fine." Ali said. I grinned. She must have seen me smiling.
"But her throat. I feel bad"
"Don't. She loved the sword thing. Seriously." I grinned again. She knew me too well. Aragorn looked happier, (or at least as happy as you can be with a major battle raging around you.)
Another wave of Uruk-Hai approached us. Legolas came over and helped us. We were fighting back to back in a square. I tried to remember Legolas's lessons. Block, parry, thrust! I killed an Uruk-Hai. Go me! I had no time to have a victory dance though.
The battle went on and on. It was exhausting. Suddenly one of Theoden's guards yelled for us to come back to the gate or something like that. This was the part where Haldir was going to die! No! I knew I couldn't save him, but I wanted to. Aragorn yelled to him to come back to the place (I forgot what it was called). He nodded and then got cut by an Uruk-hai. I looked away. I didn't want to see him die. Aragorn rushed up to him. He grabbed him and Haldir died. Aragorn yelled and attacked the Uruks more ferociously than before. I followed the rest of the men and elves into the Keep.
~*~*~
Théoden needed help securing the door. They had a battering ram and were breaking the door. Ali and I followed Aragorn and Gimli out a side door. Aragorn and Gimli had their little 'toss me' speech while Ali and I tried not to laugh. Aragorn tossed Gimli and Ali and Aragorn leapt. It was terrifying. If I fell, I would land on top of a zillion beings who would rip me apart, then eat me as an appetizer. What the hell! I jumped.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!" I landed and started fighting. Adrenaline flooded through my body. "For Haldir!" I yelled and stuck my sword in an Uruk. We fought for our lives until Théoden yelled for us to come back. Legolas threw us a rope, but we all couldn't get on.
"Tory and Ali, get on the rope!" Aragorn yelled. We obliged and Legolas pulled us up. (Strong man. I mean, elf) Aragorn and Gimli got pulled up too. We then ran to a place near the entrance of the caves. There were a few men there. Ali and Aragorn were yelling at King Théoden. I didn't hear what they were saying, because I was trying to barricade the door. Aragorn came up to me after having his little pep talk wit Théoden.
"We are going to ride out. We need to take all the horses, so you have to ride by yourself." Aragorn told me. Fun. More riding.
~*~*~*~
I got myself settled on the horse. It was actually quite a nice horse, I think. It was sort of calm and these Rohirrim people didn't have wooden saddles. It was wonderful!
"Ride on!" Someone (Théoden, I think) yelled. We were off. We burst out of the gates. Ah! It was day! Bright light and pain! Help!
When my eyes got adjusted, I saw that we were going down a ramp (the one that Ali, Aragorn, Gimli, and I had been on earlier). The riders in front were knocking down the Uruks. It was a domino effect. Cool! As we were fighting in front of the Fort, someone white appeared at the top of the hill. Gandalf! With Eomer and his men right behind him! We were saved!
They started running down the hill. We fought with all our strength and about 10 minutes later we had won! Saruman: 0 Good Guys: 1. Go us! I had to make up a victory dance after I got off the horse! I love winning!
