A/N-Sorry its taken me longer than usual to post this. First I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do this. Then someone infected my computer with three very nasty trojans that threatened to kill my poor, innocent computer. They even managed to find a way around my firewalls. I haven't even gotten a chance to write the first chapter of the sequel yet but I do know that it will be called Click Your Heels Three Times and I know some not so nice things will happen to our main characters here. So now on with the show. But first here are my reviewer responses:
Snow Crystals- Nienna said she is the one and only. She said other stuff too but I can't remember it. Oh, and I'm not 19, in the present story yes but now no. The chapter you read had me being older and the title was also entitled the chapter that has nothing to do with the story.
Nienna- Thanks for your reviews. You rock. I think I'll send you another half-demon but this one with cat ears if you can handle another one.
Tongue in Cheek Scribe- I love it when you review. Oh, I've been meaning to tell you that I love your pen name. I hope the hurricane dies out on the coast. But have a hurricane party anyway.
Lady of the Llamas (Blue Jedi Hobbit)- I like your names too. When are you going to update ? Thanks for the reviews.
At the End of the Rainbow
Haldir's POV
I had not slept at all the previous night. I was awake to see the sun rise over the horizon. Well, I didn't actually see the sun rise but I did know it was happening from looking up through the window in the office that faced the water. I looked down to see a mass of short brown hair covering a face that was already buried in my chest. I wanted to know what that face looked like when the person was sleeping. I already knew what she looked like angry, sad, and happy. I gently brushed a few strands away from her face but like I've stated before Tina is a very light sleeper. I tried to supress a laugh when Tina mumbled something about real girls didn't dance they kicked ass. She looked up at me with half open eyes and a smile ",What time is it ?"
"The sun has just risen." But to myself I thought ",We still have time."
"Goin' back to sleep. Gah, how do you elves wake up so early ?"
She buried her face back into my chest and pulled a sheet over her shoulders. Once she was satisfied that she was comfortable she drifted back off again. Footsteps on the landing drew my attention and I looked to the door to see Legolas peering into the room. He motioned for me to come with him. I looked from Tina to Legolas then back to Tina. Did I really want to leave ? The Lord and Lady needed me to watch their borders. Did I really care for Tina that much or was she just a conquest for me that I have now won ? In all honesty, we had managed to hate each other up until a few weeks ago. Then we tolerated each other. And now this ? I barely grazed my fingertips over Tina's face as I decided what I must do. I am Haldir, Marchwarden for the Lord and Lady. I cannot forget my duties. Though it will be hard for me to leave. I felt that if I didn't that Tina's world would suffer a similar fate as mine.
Mandy's POV
I was having problems of my own. Boromir was being bull headed. He wasn't going to go anywhere. I pushed him over to his friends. He looked down at me slightly hurt. "I wish to stay and help your world. You cannot possibly survive without my help."
"Don't hold yourself in such high regards, Boromir. Yeah, we had some fun times but you have to go back now. Just remember to duck when you get back to your world."
I looked over my shoulder to see Legolas and Haldir walking quietly down the stairs. They soon joined the others. I moved away from Boromir but stood near Tina's bandmates. We stood apart from Matt, Nienna and O.C. Gandalf was getting ready to do his magic thing when Tina came tearing down the stairs. She looked like she had just woke up. Tina had just thrown some clothes on, something that looked clean off of the floor no doubt, and her hair looked like she had just been electrocuted. I turned my back on her and walked away. What was left of her band did the same.
Tina's POV
I skidded to a halt in front of Haldir but looked at the entire group. "So that's it. You're just gonna leave without saying good-bye ?"
Aragorn looked down at me with a smile. It was a fatherly sort of smile. "We have said our farewells. We did not wish to disturb you."
"Yes," Pippin chimed in ",you were up pretty late discussing tactical matters with Haldir."
I blushed furiously and Pippin was rewarded with several smacks upside his small head. "I don't care that I was up late. After everything we've been through these last few weeks I would expect that you guys would at least say so long to me."
And everyone did just that. When it was Haldir's turn he looked over his shoulder before looking at me ",I have duties that I cannot abandon."
"I'll pretend to be an adult for once. I'll say I understand. 'Sides, its not like we're committed or anythin'. You could stay though."
He just smiled before kissing me on the lips which I think made me blush worse than ever before. I'm not going to cry. I'll save my tantrum for later. After they've left. After some much needed therapy. After....oh, hell, I'll end up doing it as soon as they go poof. When I looked up again it was Legolas that was standing in front of me ",You did well by protecting the hobbits. I feel that you would give your life to protect your friends. Remember, though, there are other lives that require that you remain breathing for them to live."
Legolas kissed my forehead. I looked over to Gandalf who had a strange twinkle in his eye. He leaned down and whispered in my ear ",I have a feeling that this will not be the last time that our paths cross. Until then."
They disappeared before my eyes. Yep, definately going to act like a two year old in a candy store after their mom just said that they couldn't have anything. I grabbed the nearest shotgun and bow with a quiver of arrows and headed up to the roof. Now, the whole reason that the Fellowship and friends left to begin with was because the orcs, wargs, uruk-hai and Ringwraiths were suppose to disappear right along with them. Now imagine my surprise when I finally popped out on the roof that all I saw were the army of Sauron. So much for Gandalf getting the spell right. Eh, a little live target practice couldn't hurt. Those things seem to know that something had happened because they were beginning to regroup. That couldn't be a good thing. I started to fire shotgun rounds at random orcs when something caught the corner of my eye. It was a blur of camo. Military camo to be exact and the pair that were wearing the fatigues were running straight for the warehouse doors. Should I just let them get mauled ? It would be fun to watch. No, it wouldn't. It would be kind of gross. I ran to the roof opening and screamed down ",Open the door. There are army guys tryin' to get away from orcs. Open the doors."
I ran back to the edge of the roof and tried to cover them as best as I could since I was the only one up there. I could hear the doors slide open and then slam back down. I continued to fire upon the gross things until I ran out of shotgun shells and arrows. The arrows were a waste though since I missed quite a few times.
In Middle Earth...
The spell went as well as Gandalf could've expected considering the source that it came from. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli landed exactly where they had originally disappeared from. The orcs, unfortunately, hadn't gone anywhere either. So the battle raged on. Sam and Frodo dropped down into the boat and began to make their way across the river where they would then head for Mordor. Merry and Pippin landed in the middle of a pile of rushing orcs. Soon Boromir popped up but he had already forgotten what Mandy had told him. Several arrows found their mark in his chest. As he fell to his knees he muttered ",Bloody hell."
Gandalf found to his misfortune that he had resumed his falling after the Balrog. He looked at the Balrog before yelling ",Where's Glorfindel when you need him ?"
Two Months Later....
Nienna's POV
The army guys came in kind of handy. They were a whiz in the kitchen since none of us could cook anything edible. The last time Matt cooked Tina was sick for like two months. That's kind of strange now that I think about it. How could someone have food poisoning for two months. Tina said it was the flu. But she got sick right after she ate. Getting off track here. The army guys were from the blockade that we had run through into Mississippi. Their names were Curtis and Danny. They were pretty good guys if you like the strict army type.
The news and internet reports that we could get were all saying the same thing. Help wasn't coming anytime soon. Curtis and Danny had tried several times to radio their base camp but no one would answer. Or there wasn't anyone there to answer. The reports were also telling us that not only had Sauron's army taken over the south but they had also taken over the southeastern coastal states. All states were under Marshal Law. Like that has done any good. The President didn't want to send any more soldiers into the "conflict zone" until he had been fully briefed. That was over two weeks ago and there still wasn't any sign of a rescue. Guess we can only make the best of this.
I was getting kind of hungry so I went up on the roof to see if Tina wanted anything since she rarely came down from there now. She said target practice was too addictive. I think it actually has something to do with the Fellowship not being here and the fact that Mandy and her bandmates weren't talking to her. They weren't talking to Matt, O.C. or me either. I think everything that has happened has finally caught up with them and they for some reason blame us. What are you to do ? I personally won't do anything. I poked my head through the opening to see Tina sitting on the roof surrounded by little wrappers. They looked a lot like fudgesicle wrappers. Since she looked like she had just pigged out I decided to get some food for myself. I wonder if there are any Oreos left.
Mandy's POV
Gah, Tina's getting fat. Jeez, she's turned into a pig.
Matt's POV
I watched Nienna crawl down from the roof hatch before I went up myself. Something about Tina had been nagging me. She was gaining a lot of weight lately. I wonder if she knows that she's pregnant.
Tina's POV
Yes, you dork, I know I'm pregnant. Why else would I be eating everything in sight and then puking it up ?
I stared out over the edge of the roof to see something that I had been expecting for the last few weeks. The orcs were attacking. "Get up here guys and bring your weapons."
I was soon joined by Curtis, Danny, Nienna, Matt and O.C. Mandy, Joel, Jonothan, and Faber were nowhere to be seen. I poked my head into the hatch. "Come on you guys."
Jonothan looked up at me from the bay doors ",We're finding another way out. I'm tired of fighting."
"Where ya gonna go ? We don't have a boat !"
"We'll swim for it," Faber yelled back.
They pulled the doors up only to be greeted by yet another middle earth monster. That made the four high tail it up onto the roof. I looked at the thing that was currently trying to destroy the warehouse ",Great. We trade in the Fellowship and end up with the mutant octopus from the black lagoon. Could things possibly get worse ?"
Arrows were flying onto the roof. The building was swaying back and forth from the Watcher in the Water trying to tear it down. A crack of one of the pier supports answered my question. Yes, things could get much worse.
A/N- Last chapter. Now on with the sequel. I should have the first chapter up shortly.
