Chapter Nine
Ali shivered and pulled her cloak around her tighter. They were on top of the mountain and trying to force their way through the mountain pass, but the snow was making it hard going. Ali was slightly jealous that Legolas could walk lightly on top of the snow and not be bothered by it.
"There's a foul voice in the air," Legolas suddenly called out.
"It's Saruman!" Gandalf yelled above the wind.
Ali strained her hearing and caught some kind of voice on the air, just as Legolas said. It didn't sound too pleasant. 'Well, of course,' Ali thought. 'It's Saruman.'
Just then an avalanche of rocks fell down and the Fellowship threw themselves against the mountainside, narrowly missing them.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain!" Aragorn called above the wind. "Gandalf! We must turn back!"
"No!" Gandalf said fiercely. He suddenly stood up on top of the snow. Ali looked up at him wearily and a little surprised. 'When was he able to stand on top of snow?' Ali thought.
"Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo nuitho i 'ruith!" ("Sleep Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!") Gandalf yelled.
Ali could only listen to his words; she was so cold. And anyways, she didn't even understand what he was saying. Maybe something to get Saruman to break his spell on the mountain?
"Gandalf!" Ali cried out.
"What is it, Ali?" he asked.
"Please let us get off this mountain. We're going to die on top of this mountain. We'll freeze, or get crushed by an avalanche. And some of us are a little too short for walking through this snow," Ali answered.
"We can't leave-" Gandalf began to say. But lightening struck some snow just above them and piled on top of them.
Ali cried out, but the snow quickly covered her. It was so cold and she could barely breathe. 'So this is it,' thought Ali. 'We're all gonna die because of the cold and lack of air in a pile of snow. This is it. Goodbye, my dear friends. You were all so kind to me. Maybe this is the best way.'
Suddenly she felt the snow from over head clear away and Ali saw Legolas' face.
"Here, take my hand, Ali," Legolas said, holding out his hand.
Ali took it and was soon hauled out of her hole. "Thank you, Legolas," Ali said.
Legolas shook his head. "Don't ask of it, mellon."
Ali looked around and everybody had managed to get out of it.
"We must get off the mountain! Make for the gap of Rohan! Or take the west road to my city!" Boromir stated.
"Yeah, but Rohan takes us too close to Isengard!" Aragorn said.
Ali rolled her eyes. Men always fought about what road they should take. And she had to help them? Lovely.
"If we cannot go over the mountain, let us go under it!" Gimili spoke up. "Let us go through the Mines of Moria."
Now it was Ali's turn to be angry.
"No, we can't do that. Don't you remember what I've told you? This is exactly what I told you was going to happen. We can't go through the Mines of Moria," she pronounced.
Gandalf looked at her in quiet coolness and Ali fell silent. "You are not helping much, young Ali." He turned back to the rest of the Fellowship. "Let the Rinbearer decide."
Frodo looked first at Sam and then the rest of the hobbits and the rest of the Fellowship.
"We cannot stay here! This will be the death of the hobbits!" Boromir declared.
"Frodo?" Gandalf looked at Frodo.
Frodo looked straight into Gandalf's eyes. "We will go through the mines."
Gandalf didn't break his gaze with Frodo. "So be it."
Ali looked down at the snow. It was happening. She failed. Gosh, why didn't she pay attention to the books and movies more? It would've helped Ali more right now. She could've found another way and Gandalf wouldn't have died down in the mines. Ali would be looked at as a failure that she didn't keep everybody safe.
"Come on, Ali," Boromir suddenly appeared in front of her. "I will carry you down. You can't walk through this. You are too short for walking through this snow."
Ali didn't resist when Boromir picked her up. She didn't pay much attention as they headed back down. She was mentally beating herself up. Ali, the four foot six girl who somehow got herself landed in Middle Earth, had failed the Fellowship of the Ring. She hoped the end would come swiftly.
A/n: Well, that's chapter nine. I hope you all liked it. I didn't write a chapter yesterday because I ended up going to my relatives' house and by the time I got back home, I didn't have the energy to type up a chapter. Hope y'alls didn't mind. But I'll be shutting up now. I hope you all continuing to like the story.
Mornfinnel- Thanks for the review! I love Pippin, too. I think he's a cute little guy. But enough of that. Thanks for the review again!
LeaMarie F. Rocket- Thanks for the review! Yeah, Ali's gonna have a time of it. But I think she'll manage it somehow, what do you think? And if I told you if Pippin saw, I would smack myself. For me to know and you to keep reading and to find out. It's probably obvious, but I won't tell you right now. Thanks again for the review!
Melissa Ocean- Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like the story so far and I'll keep writing!
