And next chapter and I still don't own a sausage. My English breakfast will
never be complete!!!!! Shut up. Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed, I'm
trying to get the chapters out faster but college is now doing a production
of Dracula in which I'm doing lighting, sound, set, special effects, make
up, hair and costumes so lots of work, will try my best though. Anyway,
here we go, and I have noticed one thing about the last chapter, which I
think everyone will kill me for,
I CALLED HELMS DEEP, MINAS TIRITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SORRY!!
And also, my twist is appearing in this chapter, well, one of them, there is technically four in this one, two of which I think might be tricky, let me know if you guess them though, tell me if you like, hate or aren't impressed. Thanks!!
Enjoy

Chapter 2
She climbed back into the driver's seat and looked behind her to where her two friends sat,
'Well, he defiantly believes that he's Aragorn and that this is middle earth, and that he's on his way to helms deep.'
'We could have told you that,'
'We're going with him,' she finished, ignoring the interruption,
There was silence for a moment, just a clicking sound,
'Kat has a good point, what if it is real?'
'Then we're in deep shit.' She laughed, 'if it's real then we have nothing to worry about, we know what's going to happen.'
'Oh, right, so, when do we leave?'
'Now,'
She turned the key which she had left in the ignition and the engine screamed to life, slowly turning around rolling up to the man who was tending his horse, he turned round at the sound and drew his sword, she lent over the passenger seat and rolled down the window,
'Hey, I'm me, this is the machine I told you about, don't worry, it wont hurt you, it's the fastest way for us to get about, okay?'
'Yes milady, follow me,'
'We'll try, just don't freak out at the noise this thing makes,' she rolled the window back up and sat upright,
'He doesn't sound too upset,'
'I think he's still in shock, if we went by the films, he only got that injury this morning so I'm not surprised, but I have a feeling we'll have a bit more reaction from anyone else we meet,' then she added as an after thought, 'if this is all real,'
The van picked up speed as the horse and it's rider pulled away from them, the equipment in the back clanked and banged as she drove over bumps and rocks, the two in the back sitting down after securing the larger items. She tried to avoid as many rocks as she could but the terrain was uneven to say the least and she prayed that their suspension was a good as it was supposed to be. They drove for over an hour, pitching forward slightly when they came to a sudden halt, the two looked over the seat to see the horse and rider looking out over a hill, then wheel round and rise off at a very fast pace, the van screaming as she pushed it into gear and drove after him, it cried out at every gear change,
'Take it easy girl, Kat and I are going to end up scrambled if you're not careful!'
'Think of the film, he sees and army and runs off, I think he just saw it,'
'Did you?'
'No, but I wasn't going to wait around just in case,'
'Point taken, just don't kill us,'
'There's a reason I have so many different, licenses.... Shit!'
'We're gonna die!!'
'Kat, look at this.' Her voice shaky,
A long whistle followed as the girl looked over the seat and to the large fortress built into the cliff walls,
'Tolkin and Jackson are geniuses, they got it spot on!'
'He wasn't bull-shitting us then?'
'Defiantly not. Shit.'
'Here's a really off question,' the dark haired girl said as they slowed and approached a larger side gate they had been guided to, 'where the hell do we park?'
'my god this is depressing,'
'and that's only from hearing things, I'm feeling depressed just watching.'
The three had been quickly ushered to where the women and children were and locked in with the sobs and screams. Claiming an alcove with a large box in the three sat with a few of their easier to carry items, the dark haired girl leaning against the wall, Kat sitting on the floor in front with their things and she herself sat with her legs over the sides. Looking around she could see that all in the cave excluding them would be affected by this battle and the deaths that would follow,
'you know, I kinda expected to meet Legolas and Gimli, possibly the king considering the difference in dress and our van, speaking of which, will our stuff be okay out there?'
'The Urak Hai will be too busy killing to worry about a strange machine.' She answered in low voice, leaning back slightly to address the dark haired girl,
A steady booming beat echoed through the cave, the dark haired girl covered her ears as did many of the young children, a few began to cry,
'pray for good and pray for love, Pray for peace and pray it's enough,' she sang softly, 'do you remember that song? I used to love it, more techno than anything wasn't it,'
'I liked it too, pray for salvation, pray that we're right, pray one day we'll open our eyes,'
"pray for them and pray for us," they finished together,
'kinda fitting isn't it, it's what all these lot are doing, praying...'
'you've got pretty voices, are you elves too?' a small girl of about 4 had walked up in front of them,
'elves? No, we're not elves, we..... we, we sing for people,'
'why?'
'why? Um, we like to, we are happy when we're singing and making music,'
'you make music too? How?'
'Kat, pass me Guitar up, no, actually, never mind,'
she jumped down off the crate and Kat climbed up to take her place, she opened one of the cases and took out a slightly scratched guitar whose strings where dirty with use, sat on the floor with it on her knee
'what's that? The girl asked, sitting down in front of her, two other girls and a boy joining her,
'this, is called a guitar, it makes music, like a violin or a cello, listen,' she strummed the strings letting the notes she pressed ring out,
The children giggled and one clapped her hands together, adults, hearing the sound looked over and other children in the area moved closer to listen,
'can you play the song you where singing before? I liked that one,'
'no, I can't, but I can sing that song for you than sing a different one after, would you like my friend to sing as well?'
'make both of them sing!' one of the boys called out,
'only one of them sings, you see the one with dark hair? She'll sing with me, okay, do you remember how it starts?'
'yep, just join in on the chorus, you do the lower notes,'
"what miracle is life, the fields are high and the fruit is ripe,
So hold out your hands, yeah, hold out your hands,
And you're the same as me, you breath the air I breath,
But we don't understand, yeah, we don't understand,"
Kat drummed her hands lightly on her thighs and the children smiled and two got up and began to do a strange dance, like some type of jig, she joined in,
"and if you don't ask questions, you won't know why,
So say a pray for the lives while there's still time!
Pray for good and pray for love,
Pray for peace and pray it's enough,
Pray for salvation, pray that we're right,
Pray one day we'll open our eyes,"
Adults too where now listening, smiles on many of the younger children's faces, the ones that weren't old enough to understand what was happening above them, some of the adult too seemed happier, possibly only if seeing their children's minds far from their fears,
"Pray for them and pray for us,
Pray one day we can live as one,
Pray for the children whose time is to come,
And pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done,
She then took over the chorus while her friend added in a slight harmony, she smiled watching the people watching her,
"We all see the same sun
each day a golden praise is sung
to the wonder of man
yeah to the wonder of man
and when we look why can't we see
all the riches that are free
oh we don't understand
yeah we don't understand"
their two voices joined as one in a loud crescendo where a few of the children joined in with they little they remembered,
"and if you don't ask questions, you wont know why,
So say a pray for the lives while there's still time!
Pray for good and pray for love,
Pray for peace and pray it's enough,
Pray for salvation , pray that we're right,
Pray one day we'll open our eyes,
pray for them and pray for us,
Pray one day we can live as one,
Pray for the children whose time is to come,
And pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done
Pray for good and pray for love,
Pray for peace and pray it's enough,
Pray for salvation , pray that we're right,
Pray one day we'll open our eyes,
pray for them and pray for us,
Pray one day we can live as one,
Pray for the children whose time is to come,
And pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done!"
She was slightly surprise when they got a round of applause,
'can you sing more for us?'
'yeah, sure, we don't mind, it makes us happy when we sing,' she was interrupted by her dark haired friend,
she laughed at the children and the parents who once again settled down to listen to the two.
before you say it, yes this will be a song fic, but there will be a reason, probably not a song in every chapter and only those two will sing, that's one twist, anyone get the others yet? They will turn up in the next chapter, never fear, but for now....
