*** Ok. Reminder, this is not J.R.R. Tolkien's true work. It's just a
rendition of his stuff. They are his characters (except for a few) and so,
he takes credit- although they probably sound really out of character.
Enjoy! Oh! Review, if you want, but I doubt it...****
INTRO- PART 2 Though the rest of the girls argued with Aragorn on the issue of climbing the mountain, Renee sat by doing nothing. They argued that they would leave the group, and find their own way around the mountain ( they knew the pointlessness of climbing, and decided that they didn't want to do it.) But, Aragorn, being a man of his word (which he'd given to Elrond about not abandoning the females), would not permit such a thing. Renee, deciding that it was time, cut the argument short by declaring that the girls would climb the mountain, all the while saying this with that maniacal glint in her eyes.
Climbing their way up the Caradhras was exhausting, and yet, Gandalf seemed to be enjoying it. Perhaps it was the fact that Laura was continuously making Frodo forget the ring at times and allowing his young hobbit friend to be relieved of the burden in which he carried for a few stolen moments, or perhaps it was the fact that Giblet seemed to make good company for himself. She was small (almost as small as a hobbit) and he offered her piggyback rides at times in exchange for a hidden philosophy, in which it was usually about Human Nature, or that Jesus was like Elvis.
"Elvis is Elvis, but Jesus is Santa Claus", she made a point of saying.
They argued and agreed, and eventually were told to be quiet as they might cause an avalanche when they laughed hysterically as they did.
They trudged through snow and hail, conversation becoming less and less, and people were fighting for breath in the sleet.
The company gave looks of laughter at the girls when the group called for a rest to hunt through their packs for their winter jackets. Emily pulled out a Hudson's Bay jacket, Laura pulled out a black stylish jacket with a wool knit scarf, Giblet and Renee pulled out blue and black bubble jackets, and Laura-Mae pulled out a beige sweater, and a thinner black jacket than that of Laura's.
Pippin could be heard saying "What are those? Snowmen's outfits?", while Gimli calmly joked about seeing whether the girls could actually be warm in such outfits.
The males soon realized that the girls were much warmer than they themselves were.
They didn't shiver, and they had gloves. In fact, they even had extra gloves, although only the hobbits took the offer when they were offered. The girls had all watched the incident with Boromir and the ring from when Frodo had rolled down the hill, in the snow, and they had watched how Aragorn had fingered the helm of his broad sword. They had all looked to each other in unspoken agreement that they remember this from the movie...
After all the hobbits were picked up for piggyback rides by Aragorn, Boromir, Laura and Laura-Mae for the fourth time, they reached a ridge, to which the sleet was so strong that the girls clung to the rock wall on the one side as though clinging for dear life.
Suddenly, there came a cry. Legolas quickly called to Gandalf that there was a faint voice in the air, in the winds that surrounded them.
"It is Saruman! He's trying to bring down the mountain!" yelled Gandalf.
"No!" yelled Legolas, "It is a female voice!"
"It's Saruman!" argued Pippin, for he knew that Gandalf was seldom wrong.
"No!" said a voice, clear through the wind, this time from a dark shadow of a figure clearly outlined in the storm. The figure was a woman, though she was dressed in a maiden's outfit, enclosed in a thick hooded cloak.
"Who's there?" demanded Aragorn as he quickly drew his sword in time to Legolas' bow being strung.
"My name is Christina."
"SHOW YOURSELF!" requested Gandalf.
The figure lowered her hood. For the first time since the beginning of the journey, all five girls gasped.
"CHRISTINA!" was the mutterings of shock of Laura, Giblet, Renee, Emily and Laura-Mae.
"You know her?" asked the stressed Aragorn, while replacing his sword. Legolas still hadn't moved from the position of being able to shoot the newcomer.
A cloud of sighs escaped the girls. "Yes" came Giblet's reply from Gandalf's back.
The female figure came closer, as though the gale were pushing her from behind. She had Strawberry blond hair to her shoulders, spectacle upon her nose, a red maiden's outfit, an entranced glare, and teeth large enough to resemble fangs.
The sighs came again as Emily quickly muttered to Renee "She had better not touch my elf" to which Renee simply rolled her eyes.
"I know what it is you are going to ask me...", began Christina, her voice hollow as though entranced.
"We weren't going to ask you anything! Well... maybe we were going to ask you how you got here... but that's not what we were going to ask!" said a very garbled Giblet.
Gandalf and the company turned to her and looked at her quizzically and she blushed.
"I have always been here. I was in both dimensions, always have been. I see what goes on here, and what goes on where you live," came the cryptic reply.
The girls gaped at her. Then, to everyone's astonishment, Renee ran forward and shook the girl.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!!!!" she screamed. "All this time and I could have had my questions answered about hobbits! THROUGH YOU!"
"Would you have believed me if I had told you?" asked Christina.
"HELL YEAH!" was Renee's reply.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound and the snow bank above them shifted.
"Now that's Saruman!" yelled Gandalf.
The cracking noise repeated itself and soon all the company was thrown into the wall of rock and were immersed in snow. Almost everyone popped out like daisies, and began to dig themselves out. Boromir dug into the snow and quickly pulled out the frozen Frodo with Sam clinging to Frodo's leg.
They finished digging themselves out and quickly started arguing the safest route to take if they were not able to take the pass of the Caradhras. They soon turned to Frodo and told him that the "ring-bearer" must decide. Laura quickly looked at Frodo and muttered darkly about Gandalf putting too much weight on Frodo's shoulders.
While the men argued and argued, the girls slipped away to return down the way they came. The men soon followed, feeling that they had decided the path, and quickly caught up to the females. Christina, walking at a medium speed, told the other girls that as she got to the bottom, she would leave them, and go to her home in Middle-Earth. The girls, feeling that they shouldn't interfere between the two dimensions, agreed cautiously, wondering what would happen if they brought her back with them –whenever that would be.
After a while, silence fell on the company, save for Laura who was muttering as many curses as she could think of to Frodo about Gandalf. The girls were all quite happy when they had to turn back because running shoes don't keep water and ice out very well. On the way down, Laura said "Well, I expected worse from the avalanche.
"How did you know that there would be an avalanche?" asked Aragorn.
"We saw the movie, Dummy", said Renee.
"What is a movie?" asked the inquisitive elf.
Emily whirled around and shouted at the nervous elf:
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP, ELF!"
Legolas trembled and stumbled backwards stuttering "I'm sorry. Don't hurt me. Don't touch me!"
At this moment, the grinning Renee lunged forward at Boromir and grabbed his shield. The belt, holding it round Boromir's shoulder, came undone and flung around, hitting Aragorn squarely in the forehead. Renee took no heed of this and quickly ran with the shield, which just happened to be the perfect size of a toboggan. She ran and jumped onto the shield, swirling down the hill of snow, oblivious to the angry shouts coming from above.
The group of girls laughed heartily and Gimli and Legolas smirked at each other. Just as Legolas walked by, Gandalf could be heard saying "It's about time something worthwhile happened around here" to Giblet. This comment, making the girls laugh even more so, caused Aragorn to curse.
Renee sat waiting patiently at the bottom as Pippin came down and grabbed the shield, racing for the top again, while dodging the clawing arms of Boromir, determined to get his shield back. A moment later, as the company continued the venture down the hill, Pippin and Merry were yelling shrilly as they flew down the hill atop the shield, knocking Laura-Mae and Giblet down, causing them to roll and topple any obstacles in the way, which just happened to be Emily, Legolas and Gimli.
After that incident, the company grew quiet. There was not a sound to be heard as they approached the mines of Moria. It was night when they arrived and everyone was weary. Gandalf found the entrance and the girls huddled as close to the entrance as possible.
They knew the riddle, they knew what was lurking in the water, and yet they did nothing. Earlier, they had all agreed to let the story flow along as though none of them existed, for they didn't want to change the course of history in Middle-Earth.
Finally, after Bill the pony was set free, and Merry had solved the riddle and the doors had opened, the girls almost charged into the Mines, afraid of the shadow in the water.
The whole problem with the kraken beast quickly occurred and the girls hid in the entrance. They watched as Legolas shot the beast and Aragorn caught Frodo. Laura stood screaming about her "poor Frodo", and the rest of the girls quickly made fun of her. They moved slowly away from the entrance and allowed themselves to be pushed away as the beast crumbled the archway. Then complete darkness enveloped them.
Gandalf lit his staff, and they all began their journey into the darkness.
