Chapter 2: Torture

Gimli was walking in a field about half a mile from the farm house where the rest off the fellowship were cooking breakfast, watching TV or whatever Gandalf was doing! He was busy looking for a cave. At least he had been. He gave up looking as there didn't seem to be any mountains within his eye sight range. He considered asking Legolas if he could see any but decided against it. Ask an Elf for help? Not this dwarf! Not any dwarf! So deciding that finding a cave would probably take him years he went on a search for anything metal. Finding nothing he decided he was now hungry and started heading back towards the house.

Gandalf had been looking around the bedrooms. But al he seemed to find were bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The bedrooms were just that, bedrooms. But the bathrooms puzzled him.

Gandalf stood there starring at a tap trying to figure out what it was. He decided the best course of action would be to see if it moved. He turned the thing on top and water came out. He turned it out and water stopped. He tried it again. The same thing happened.

'This is incredibility advanced magic!' Gandalf thought to himself. Gandalf realised then that he'd been upstairs for a long time now and so went downstairs and out the front door to smoke his pipe to try and calm down. The excitement was starting to get to him. He also needed to think about what the tap meant.

In the back garden Sam and Frodo were cooking the food they had found on a fire that the two men with them had built.

"It's almost cooked!" Sam announced much to the pleasure off everyone there. They were all hungry. Especially the hobbits!

"Your not having anything until the others get hear!" announced Aragorn taking control.

"Gimli may be awhile" Boromir informed him.

"Fine then, Merry go find Gandalf, Pippin you get Legolas from the lounge. If Gimli returns before we've finished we'll give him food. Otherwise you hobbits can share his portion" Merry and Pippin ran off knowing that the quicker they got Gandalf and Legolas, the quicker they could eat.

Legolas was in the lounge watching TV. However the program on parrots had just finished and the adverts were on. Legolas watched one about cars. He decided this was boring and decided that maybe he should turn the TV off. He went to the TV and pressed a button. The sound got louder. He pressed the one to the left. It got quieter. 'So that's how you control how loud it is' thought Legolas. Pleased with his discovery. He looked at the buttons again. There were 2 others like the volume control (they were the ones that controlled what channel you were watching but Legolas didn't know that) there was also the one Aragorn pressed earlier.

'If it turns it on, maybe it turns it off' thought Legolas trying it. Sure enough it did! Legolas was now really pleased. He decided to try something else. So he got up from near the TV and went to a CD player.

"I'll press the big one with a triangle first' thought Legolas doing just that. The CD player started to play the CD. Unfortunately for Legolas the first song on the CD was Britney Spear's 'Toxic'. Legolas was an elf and so had a great appreciation of music. He had always thought of music as wonderful… until now. The song that was playing now was AWFUL! And Legolas couldn't stand it. He curled up on the sofa and covered his head with a cushion in an attempt to block out the awful sound! However his superior elvish hearing was against him, he could still hear it! He started to shake this 'music' was simply too much! Tears started to roll down his face and he was shaking all over. This was how Pippin found him when he came into the lounge. He too could barely stand the 'song'.

"Where is that sound coming from!" cried Pippin in horror. Legolas pointed in the direction of the CD player. Pippin bravely walked over to it. Hands covering his ears. He looked at the 'torture device' (as he and Legolas saw it) and tried to work out how to turn it off. In the end he didn't have to as he knocked it off the table it was on. This caused the power cable to fall out and turned off the CD player. Legolas slowly sat up shaking and looked at his new hero, Pippin.

"Thank you" he said slightly shaken.

"That's alright" said Pippin, not used to doing something right!

"We need to destroy it!" said Legolas.

"Can't we have breakfast first?" asked Pippin.

"You have breakfast!" Legolas said realising he was hungry. "We'll sort this out later. I need time to think how best to destroy it anyway."

Author's Note: Ok I would like to apologise to anyone who likes the song "Toxic" I personally can't stand it and Legolas seems to agree with me! However I am aware people like it. (Like my sister) and didn't mean to insult them. This chapter may seem a little short. But I posted the last one yesterday, and I've recently written a chapter for another story and my hands are getting a bit tired from all the typing.

Also i would like to apolagise for my bad gramma and spelling. I should have written a warning before hand. There is nothing i can do about it other than run it through spell and gramma check. No matter how hard i try, there will be errors and i hope you can just ignore them.
