Hey, Sorry it took so long to finish this chapter, but I have to use the
computer at school and so it is hard to get to one. Also if you are
wondering why I start a chapter 2 it is because I didn't write ch.1 my
friend did, but she gave me permission to finish the story. So here is
chapter 4:
Chapter 4
"The Long, Hard Road"
The Fellowship started traveling again as the sun came up. Calithia knew that no one had gotten good nights sleep, but they didn't show it. Today she was determined to keep a sharp eye out for danger and let nothing distract her. This morning she was walking next to the Dwarf Gimli and he tried to engage her in conversation, but she ignored him.
"Miss Elf, it seems that you re ignoring me because I asked you a question and you haven't answered it."
"I'm sorry, it's just that I'm trying to pay attention in case of danger."
"That's a good thing; but I was wondering why you wanted to come with us?" He asked her. She thought for a moment then answered his question with this,
"I guess because I wanted an adventure and see the rest of Middle Earth."
"That's a good reason." He told her. They walked in silence for a while listening to the birds chirping in the trees and small snatches of conversation from the others.
"I still can't believe you used the old distract a Ring-wraith with a bag of vegetables trick!"
"That was defiantly a close call yesterday, right Aragorn?"
"I wonder when we will stop for food Pip?"
"Is that all you can think about right now, is food!?"
"Sam leave off them." And so on. Calithia was having trouble paying attention and went to converse with Legolas. She found him towards the front talking with Boromir.
"I still think that we should take the ring to my father; Minas Tirith needs it the most."
"No! It must be destroyed." Legolas argued back. Calithia hesitated a moment, then tapped Legolas on the shoulder and said,
"Excuse me Legolas I need to talk to you for a moment."
"Is that okay Boromir?" Legolas asked the man.
"Sure, I need to talk with Aragorn anyway." Boromir said and then moved to where Aragron was, which was around the middle.
"So what did you want to talk about Lady Calithia?"
"I just wanted to know if...um...you notice anything yet?"
"Not really; you?"
"Um...nothing yet."
"Well keep a sharp eye out, the day is still young." He told her encouragingly.
"I will Legolas." She said and then added a small smile. The Fellowship stopped to rest around midday for fifteen minutes because they were in a hurry to get to their next spot by nightfall. So far Legolas and Calithia hadn't spotted any danger, but they still had a long way to go. During the break Legolas told Calithia,
"It is a good idea if you stay in the back and I will stay in the front."
"I can look for danger from behind and you can in the front."
"Right! And instead of two Elf-eyes, there will be four." He said to her. So during the second- half of that days journey, Legolas walked with Gimli near the front and Calithia waked with Boromir near the back. She decided to try to pay attention this time. Boromir was a silent man and every time Calithia stole a glance at him, he seemed deep in thought. Calithia was a little afraid to disturb him, but what she had heard him say earlier to Legolas was on her mind.
"Um...why do you think that the ring should go to your father?"
"Because my home is under attack and think that the ring should go to your father?"
"Because my home is under attack and if we had the ring, it could help us beat the Orcs' who are fighting us." He said triumphantly.
"But I heard the ring is too powerful and that it should be destroyed."
"You shouldn't believe everything you hear." He said coldly. Calithia took this as a sign to not talk to him anymore. They seemed to be walking in circles because all the scenery looked the same, at least to Calithia. She didn't know if the others felt the same, but all she wanted to do right now was sit down and rest. Suddenly she thought she saw movement in the forest and was bout to yell a warning, when she saw that it was a deer. She swallowed her yell and let out a sigh of relief. She just wanted to get to the next spot and a sudden Ring-wraith or Orc invasion would delay them even more.
"Are you alright Lady Elf? You look a little pale. " She looked to her left and saw Bromir waiting for her answer. 'He was walking next to me, I forgot.' She thought.
"Yes I'm fine; just a little tiered."
"I think everyone is, but I think we still have a ways to go." He said with a little hint of weariness was in his voice.
"Can't we at least stop to rest for a while?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think that we will stop until dark."
"How long do you think that will be?"
"I don't know, maybe four more hours."
"Is there any way to make this day go faster?" She asked him. He thought for a moment and was about to answer her when Calithia spotted a movement to the right of her. She saw dark figures and heard grunts.
"A band of Orcs coming from the right!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Everyone drew their weapons and Aragorn told Frodo to go hide. Sam went with him and about a dozen Orcs ran towards the remaining eight members of the Fellowship. Calithia drew her bow and Legolas did also.
"We're out numbered!" Yelled Pippin.
"Wait Calithia and I can hit two of the Orcs before they come near us! Calithia, on my signal, shoot an arrow at anyone of the Orcs and I will do the same!"
"Right!" She replied confidently. Legolas and Calithia each got out an arrow and made ready to shoot at the Orcs. She looked back at the Orcs, then back at Legolas. He nodded at her and she took a deep breath, aimed, and let her arrow fly. It hit an Orc right in the neck and it fell. Legolas also hit his target. Two Orcs down, ten to go.
"All right on my signal we all attack! Legolas and Calithia keep shooting at them!" Aragorn commanded. Calithia and Legolas kept on shooting at the Orcs, but they still came toward them and to Calithia it seemed that there were more coming every second.
"Aragorn I think there are more Orcs coming!"
"Yes, Calithia it seems that they have a backup army!" As soon as he said that, arrows came hurling towards them.
"Attack!" Aragorn yelled. Everyone except for Frodo and Sam ran towards the Orcs, weapons drawn. Legolas and Calithia drew their knives and attacked the Orcs. Calithia lashed out in every direction and still Orcs kept coming. Orcs were dropping like flies and for a while the eight were winning. The sun was going down slowly and they still had tons of Orcs to kill. Calithia took out her bow and started shooting at the Orcs. Legolas saw what she was doing and then took out his own bow, to shoot arrows at the Orcs. This method seemed to work and soon the number of Orcs was dropping even faster. The battle, to Calithia, felt like it had been going on for hours, but when the last Orc fell it had only been and hour. Aragorn and Boromir made a pile of Orc bodies and burnt them. Then they all went to bed, for it had become dark. Everyone was tiered and fell asleep quickly. Calithia fell rigt asleep as soon as her head hit her pack. All was quiet and at dawn a red sun rose over the mountains.
