Here goes chapter 2, by the way don't get me wrong, LOTR is one of my fav
books, and I'm just doing this as a bit of fun, in fact the first page I
wrote was at the end of my Geography exam. If you want to get the very
beginning of the story Melamin Venea has it once she has finished typing it
up. So I hope you have lots of laughs and enjoy the story. (Ps, sorry, it
has quite a lot of toilet humor.()
Caitlin and the others mounted their silver stallions. Kaitlin looked up at Caitlin with jealousy on her face
Carry on Chapter 2
"Do not underestimate old Betsy you are riding." Said Limolas. "She can go pretty fast when she sets her mind to it."
Kaitlin stepped over Betsy and hunched down and then put her feet in the stirrups that lurked just above the ground and then gave her a kick. The pony stayed put.
Limolas handed Kaitlin a fishing rod with a carrot on the end, who then tied it around the pony's neck.
"Just use that to direct her. It always works."
Kaitlin swung the carrot forwards and the pony started walking. Brussel rode next to her while the others rode in front.
Caitlin grinned at Kaitlin, Kaitlin who did not like her smug friend at that moment picked up a stone off the floor that was so near, and lobbed it at her darling friends head. Caitlin tried to focus.
They had been riding for three hours when they stopped to eat and camp for the night. Out of the bags they took sleeping bags and tins of food. For dinner it was flempus bread and sausages with marshmallows for pudding. The flempus bread was said to be very nutritious, but it certainly didn't taste that way, lets just say it was an original name.
Kaitlin was walking like a penguin due to sitting on a fat pony and dragging her feet on the ground while it was galloping. Hence wearing her shoes out and losing one on the way. She did not have another pair.
Brussel was trying to light a fire, but the only thing he had succeeded in lighting was his hair, which soon became singed at the ends. So Haldir took over.
After the flempus bread, (which was given to Brussel, who seemed to enjoy eating it,) they put their sausages on sticks to cook in the fire.
Kaitlin, who was very hungry and hasty, tried to eat hers raw, and ended up with an upset stomach. But carried on eating them anyway, the others had lost interest in theirs after watching Kaitlin eat a bit and then gag afterwards.
Limolas and Haldir placed their bags around the fire, then got into them and fell asleep. Caitlin and Kaitlin were left to talk. Caitlin was on first guard and was prepared with a bow and arrows plus throwing knives which were given to her before she left. She managed to resist the temptation of shooting Kaitlin in the head.
"Caitlin!" Said Kaitlin. "Where's Haldir sleeping?"
Caitlin grinned and pointed to the bulging bags with Brussel in, with only his blond hair showing. "Just over there." She replied. Nearly wetting herself with laughter even though she did not show it. Brussel slept with his eyes open.
Kaitlin moved her bag up close. Her neighbor grunted, and then started snoring.
"Gosh I'm cold." Said Kaitlin pretending to shiver. The grunting Brussel, which she thought was Haldir, turned and put his arms around her. Kaitlin smiled not realizing the situation she would be in tomorrow.
Caitlin snorted.
This wasn't going to be a long night with those two around.
She sat next to the fire, throwing logs in when it dwindled, she still had the ring tied to a rope around her neck.
Kaitlin who was still awake, had managed to plat her and Brussels hair so that they matched, Brussels face was still covered by the bag.
After four hours of trying to stay awake it was time to wake Limolas for his watch. She handed over the weapons, then got into the sleeping bag for some sleep.
She was just drifting off when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Relieved when she realized it was not Brussel or Kaitlin needing the toilet, (Kaitlin was too scared to go into the dark by herself.) she at up.
"Come." Whispered Limolas, who then darted up the nearest tree into the canopy. Caitlin followed slowly, wary of where she was putting her feet in the dark.
When she reached the top she sat down on the bough next to Limolas, he pointed to the bluey-green strips scattered across the starry night sky.
"They say the night when the aztonith eastern light shows, true love is near."
Caitlin snorted yet again thinking of Kaitlin and Brussel cosy in their sleeping bags
She enjoyed that romantic setting for a while until suddenly the bough shook underneath her, Kaitlin was trying to climb the tree and, not succeeding.
She was hanging upside down on a branch, hugging it as tight as possible, even though she was only half a meter off the ground.
Limolas smiled at Caitlin, she was amazed how his eyes twinkled as if looking straight into her, piercing in their deep sea green.
He helped her down to the struggling Kaitlin. Limolas then brought his foot down on Kaitlin's fingers until she let go.
"There, that wasn't so far was it!" He sneered, obviously he was not amused at the interruption on what was to be a very important moment. That was totally the wrong thing to do, the nastier you were to Kaitlin the more she liked you.
"You better have some sleep." He said softly to Caitlin. " There is going to be a lot of travelling tomorrow." He smiled at her, she smiled back and then got into her sleeping bag again.
Kaitlin got back into the one next to Brussel, unfortunately for her. She did the same 'I'm so cold routine' which worked and the fell asleep.
