A/n: Hello! I haven't updated in such a long time and so I figured I
oughta...because.well I don't really know why. I just thought I should. So
how is everyone? I hope your all okay. Well, I will try another chapter
with this. Please tell me what you think and whether or not I should keep
going!!! Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
*Star Girl*: Thank you for your review! I am very glad that you came back to review it. I did notice the spelling errors, but thanks anyway for correcting.
Discoridia: Thank you again for your wonderful comments. I hope I am getting better! I do spell check but words such as Osgiliath and Saruman aren't in it. I know I missed a few others and I think its because I get so used to pushing 'ignore' lolz. Thank you again!!
Mojo: Aww thank you so much for your reviews! They are a pleasure as always! I am so sorry we haven't been able to talk on MSN *sigh* whenever I get on it's usually because I am doing homework or looking something up. I am so sorry! Next time we will talk for sure! When are you updating??
Nihtfyr: All I can say is get a life. If you don't like my story. Then don't bother reviewing. Tough. But since you did take the time, I am going to have to get your facts straight. I am purposefully going from the movie. I said so exactly from the beginning. I never said I was planning to go along with the book, so don't bitch to me about writing stuff from the movie, when that is how it is intended. I believe I told someone else that if I went with the book I would get into too much detail. Maybe you should learn to read. Another thing. I already knew about the spelling errors so, technically I can spell. I was simply in a hurry and I didn't have time to correct them.
"My feet hurt!" Aurora complained loudly. She stopped by a tall, green tree and collapsed at its base. "Really, do we HAVE to walk so much in one day? I don't think I can move another muscle."
Scott stopped next to her, glaring. "Well, whose fault is this? We could be resting now, trying to find a way back home. But nooo, you had to come with the pretty boy elf guy. Now you complain that your feet hurt. You could do with losing some pounds anyway."
Aurora opened and closed her mouth dumfounded. "I do believe that is the rudest thing you have ever said to me!" She pushed herself up and brushed the dirt off her rear. "Don't talk to me anymore you pathetic little jerk!"
"Pathetic little jerk? At least that's better than being an oversized, out of shape b-"
"Why don't you both shut up!" Aragorn called back angrily. "Both of you! Just keep your mouths shut. We are not stopping for awhile Aurora, your endless complaining will not sway me."
Aurora sighed and picked up the heavy backpack she had been carrying for days. Best not anger the almighty Aragorn she thought sarcastically. She picked up her feet and trudged on, surprised she was alive, let alone walking. The company had left Rivendell a few days ago. It had been nothing but walking and walking. Sure, they slept every once in awhile. But no where near what Aurora wanted. She could almost see a mattress, covered in warm thick pillows and big blankets. She would be home now, curled up in her room and reading a book. She sighed as she gazed around her surroundings. Trees, rocks, dirt, and the midday sun. That's what she had now. She was lost in her thoughts when she ran into a hard object.
"Ow!" She cried, rubbing her head.
"Sorry." A deep and unbelievably sexy voice muttered a few feet above her.
"Oh! Legolas. I-its you. Oh I don't mind. I mean, I would if it was like a rock or something, but you know its you and you look really good and oh I mean wow I was just. . ." Aurora stuttered. She felt like kicking herself in the head if it was possible. Why did she lose control like that around him? Sure he was drop dead gorgeous, but she didn't have to make such a fool of herself over it. Then the Scott's face popped into her head, "Mary- Sue" it whispered. She sighed and cast her eyes downward.
Legolas stood a little uncertain before backing away. He was quite scared of Aurora to be honest. She always seemed prone to accidents when he was around and he'd only ever heard her stutter. Scott had warned him about a Mary-Sue, though he wasn't quite sure what that meant, it sounded a bit dodgy.
"We'll rest here. I need to decide the best route." Gandalf said, pulling out his pipe and a packet with weed. Scott had grown very excited when he first saw the weed and nearly killed Gandalf when he tried to reach it. Gandalf had been rather offended and had decided not to give any to Scott. This was of course suggested by a rather thrilled Aurora, who wanted nothing more than to torture Scott. Scott now looked on gloomily as Gandalf sat himself down on a jagged rock and began puffing away. He sat himself next to Legolas and started talking to him. Scott had a wicked gleam in his eye that Aurora didn't like and her suspicions were confirmed when Legolas turned to her, his eyes wide and almost scared. What was he saying? Aurora was just about to walk over there when a loud "Oomph" followed by a "oh! I am sorry!" interrupted her thoughts.
She was distracted as Merry and Pippin jumped onto a surprised Boromir. She couldn't help but laugh as the three tumbled around on the ground. Even Scott had a grin on his face as he stood up to help.
"What's that?" Sam asked, pointing toward the sky. Everyone stopped what they were doing, many still with grins plastered on their faces, to gaze at what Sam was indicating.
"What's what?" Aurora asked, squinting her eyes. She couldn't see much of anything. Too bad she didn't sleep with her glasses on. They would have come with her to Middle Earth and they would have been quite handy.
"Nothing, it's just a wisp of cloud," Gimli the dwarf said, shielding his eyes.
"It's moving fast, and against the wind." Boromir muttered, his grin slowly leaving his face.
"What are you guys talking about? I don't see anything!" Aurora said grumpily.
Suddenly Legolas jumped up, "Crebain from Duneland! Hide!" Everyone listened except Aurora, who was still trying to see what they were all so freaked out about.
"What from where?" She asked looking around as everyone ducked behind a rock. Scott grabbed her hand and pulled her down.
"Excuse me! If I felt like squatting behind a rock I would have. You can't just go grab-" Scott covered her mouth with has hand, silencing her. She bit him and he swore in pain.
"What the f-"
"SHUT UP" Boromir cried from behind a particularly large rock.
Both Aurora and Scott heeded his advice and crouched lower, waiting. Waiting for what, Aurora had no idea. Suddenly the sky was filled with shrieking and a dark cloud of birds flew overhead. As soon as they were passed, everyone stood up slowly.
"Can anyone tell me why we are hiding from birds? You know they are most likely not lethal, I mean the most they coul. . ." She stopped short when she realized everyone was staring at her, all with barely concealed grins on their faces. Scott was chuckling slowly, covering his mouth and all the others started to join in.
"What?' she demanded. At this everyone burst out into a loud chorus of laughing. It didn't sound too unlike the shrieking of birds that had just flown overhead. "What??"
Scott pointed to her head, then doubled up laughing. Aurora frowned and pulled her fingers through her hair.
"Argh!" She yelled as she came across something very wet and slimy. "Oh my god! Its bird poop! Ewww get it out get it out get it out!!!" she cried running around frantically.
This only caused everyone to laugh all the harder. Sam fetched some water and poured a little over her head. It was like an icicle slamming onto her but she dug her fingers into her and pulled out the large white blob.
Scott was laughing hysterically on the floor, clutching his side and all the others were laughing, though not as openly as Scott.
"Haha, really funny. Whatever. Now if you will all grow up, why were we hiding from a pack of birds?"
"They are spies," Gandalf muttered, instantly becoming serious again.
Aurora stared at him like he was stupid. "Birds are spies? What the hell kind of place am I in? Can't even trust a bloody bird here. . ."
"We can go through the mines of Moria," Gimli said hopefully.
"Mines?" Scott cried in a high pitched voice.
Aurora turned to him sweetly, "Oh that's right, isn't it? You're afraid of the dark. How could I have forgotten?" She placed her hand daintily on her lips. "My oh my."
Scott glared at her but said nothing. Gandalf meanwhile was shaking his head.
"No. I will not go through those mines unless there is no other choice. We shall try the pass of Caradhras." Gandalf did not leave the matter open for debate as he helped himself up with his long staff. Slowly he turned to the great snowy mountain in front of them and began leading the way.
The hike up the dangerous pass took so much energy, Aurora couldn't even complain anymore. Every muscle in her body was screaming at her in pain. She huffed and puffed her way up, focusing on moving one foot in front of another. Every step she took felt like a ten pound weight pulling her down into the snow. For once she could glare at Legolas. He walked easily across the snow, not even leaving the slightest imprint in the white powder. The hike up had been mainly uninteresting except for an odd moment when Frodo had tripped and Boromir had picked up the ring, which had flown from Frodo's neck. Boromir had an odd gleam in his eye before reluctantly handing the small golden circle back to Frodo. Aurora stopped in her tracks.
"Do you hear something?" She asked.
She wasn't the only one.
"There is a foul voice upon the air," Legolas said quietly. Suddenly a lighting bolt came from the sky and hit the top of the mountain.
"Oh Dear God," Aurora whispered as she heard the sound of snow crashing down the mountainside, heading straight for them. She threw herself to the ground and instinctively clutched her hands around her neck. The crashing snow pelted her like thousands of jagged ice swords, piercing her skin. She couldn't breathe for a moment but she quickly pulled her head up through the pounds of snow, gasping for air.
Gandalf called to them, "We must keep going!"
Aragorn shook his head, "No! It is too dangerous!"
Aurora opened her mouth, "I agree with him. I don't know about you, but getting hit by an avalanche doesn't sound all that safe. And while we are on the subject, how the hell can a lighting bolt suddenly hit a mountainside that we happen to be on, I mean it is a bit. . .oh all right. I'll shut up."
"Thank you!" Scott cried, spitting snow out of his mouth.
"Let us go through the mines of Moria. My cousin Balin will give a wonderful welcome!" Gimli spoke up.
Gandalf sighed. Aurora looked at him, calculatingly. She had never seen Gandalf look so worried, so unsure. At last he said quietly, "It is for the ring bearer to decide."
Frodo looked around at his companions then nodded, "We shall go through the mines of Moria."
Scott groaned. Aurora felt better about going through the mines. But she was a little concerned. Why was Gandalf so concerned? She prayed that Frodo had made the right choice as she began digging herself out of the hole.
