Haili: Right. Well every morning we have school.
Jessica: You two are gonna be up talking all night.
April/Haili: So?
Haili: School isn't important.

Jessica: *Rolls eyes*
April: And guess what? I got this pack of Lord Of The Rings movie cards. I got Andy Serkis' autograph! I had odds of 1:122 of getting an autographed card and I got one! It made me soooooo happy! Oh right. On with the chapter. I wanna finish writing before I go to Haili's.

Chapter 8: Moonlight greeted in panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fellowship walked on, now in a better mood knowing they would soon be out of this cave. As they walked, Pippin kept glancing at Legolas and Aragorn.
"Why does he keep looking at us like that?" Aragorn questioned Legolas quietly.
"I do not know. Maybe he was awake last night," Legolas responded.
Aragorn nodded. Before another word was said between them, Gandalf spoke. "We have but four miles to go until we reach daylight. If we continue to walk all night we'll reach before dawn, but if we stop for the night we'll reach sometime early morning."
Everyone nodded. It was soon agreed that they would keep walking as long as they could before resting shortly so they could move on. No one was fond of these caves.
After walking about three miles, it was clear they could go no further. That became clear when Pippin tripped over a loose rock and didn't get up.
Pippin just lied there. His exhaustion proved to him to be a weakness, but still he did not move.
"We shall rest." As soon as Gandalf said these words Merry collapsed next to Pippin. Frodo eased himself to the ground, as did Sam.
Aragorn and Legolas leaned against the wall before they themselves finally sat down.
"I will take watch tonight," Gimli said.
The others nodded and soon all were asleep.
Meanwhile...
The figure had gotten himself lost in the caves. "Curse you giant forms of rock," he muttered. His voice was rough and scratchy, like someone who hadn't had water for about two days.
The figure stopped momentarily and stepped into a small ray of light. He had eerie green skin. He was a little taller then a tall hobbit. His eyes grew darker red as his anger grew.
"Where did those blasted-" he didn't finish his thought as an idea struck him. He smiled and raised his staff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elrond was pacing his study. 'A red sun. A red sun. Was the fellowship injured? Are they in trouble? Have any of them died?' Elrond tried to calm himself down. 'Maybe it was blood of the enemy. Maybe they're just fine. I'm sure they're fine.'
He looked outside. It was about noon. The fellowship thought it was closer to nightfall.
Elrond sighed. He hoped the sun wouldn't be red at dawn. Actually the sun hadn't been that red. Only slightly. That calmed him down. It would mean there had been no serious injuries that were fatal if not treated. He walked to Aragorn's room. * As he looked inside he froze.
Aragorn always took a small bag of healing herbs with him wherever he went, but on long journeys he took a larger pack to accompany them. On his bed, was that pack of herbs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gimli sat upon a rock in silence. He was alert. He was told to awake the fellowship in a few hours time. He looked around the members of the fellowship and saw even Aragorn and Legolas were sleeping peacefully. At least he was trusted.
He sighed to himself. He usually took comfort being in caves, but this one...it just rubbed him the wrong way. He was nervous. He felt there was something following him.
Sure, he hadn't had that feeling today, but it had returned full force about 15 minutes ago. It was like they were being tracked, but suddenly not tracked, and tracked again. He didn't notice the pair of blood red eyes sneak past him, toward the exit of the cave. He did feel, that feeling of relief when you find your not being followed.
A few hours later, the fellowship was again heading out. They marched quickly, eager to get out of the caves.
Soon they could see the end of the cave. It was a welcome site. The fellowship rushed toward it, but soon stopped, listening to a distant rumbling. Behind them, rocks began falling. Frodo realized what was happening first. "The cave is caving in!"
It was a mad dash to the end of the cave, all having similar thoughts.
'I will not die in a cave! I am immortal! If I'm going to die it will be in battle, not under a great mass of rocks!' Legolas convinced himself.
'I am going to be crowned King Of Gondor! I shall not perish! My people will need me!' Aragorn continued to move quickly.
'I live in caves! I do not die in them!' Gimli thought fiercely.
'I will not perish.' That was the only thought going through Gandalfs mind at the moment.
'The shire. I want to see the shire!' that thought ran through all four of the hobbits heads as they ran.
Pippin had just got out of the cave as the whole thing collapsed. The fellowship watched as the cave fell.
They had other problems to worry about.
Orcs. A lot of them. Maybe fifty. That was quite a number to take on.
Legolas pulled out his bow and began to fire. Everyone else prepared for the Orcs. They didn't have to wait long.
Soon, Legolas had to pull out his knives for hand to hand combat.
The hobbits stayed near Gandalf as they fought. The battle raged on.
Legolas struck his knife into an Orc, and saw another coming. He noticed a bit late, as the Orcs sword came down on him.
Legolas rolled to the side but still felt the cruel tip of the sword scratch him. He grimaced but fought on. The wound wasn't bad.
An Orc dove into the four hobbits. They scattered. An Orcs dagger came out of nowhere and found its mark right on Pippins shoulder. Pippin yelled in pain and fell to the ground.
Aragorn and Legolas turned at the sound, who both could hear even from the distance they were at. Gandalf rushed to Pippins side, making sure to ward of Orcs as they approached.
This move was folly however for Legolas. The move to watch what happened to Pippin for a moment was not a good one. He heard an Orc approaching and turned to block, just as he felt the cold steel pierce his skin. He gasped in pain as he too, fell to the ground.
Gimli angrily killed the Orc ready to stab Legolas again. The now bloody field was empty except for the fellowship.
And over the hill, a blood red sun rose.
