They had finally stopped for breakfast. Holly had nearly killed the hobbits when she saw that they had Mushrooms. She grabbed them; cooked them, then snarfed them down like air. Everyone except her two closest friends had stared at her. It was her first lighthearted moment and she had made quite an impact. Merry had fought her to the last bite of the mushrooms. "You can't beat me! I'm the champ." Holly stated proudly.
"Only against me! You always run when Rachel tries to fight you." Tricia taunted.
"At least I can kick your butt!" Holly retorted. Tricia jumped up and tackled Holly. Aragorn and Legolas looked like they were about to break it up, but they stopped when they heard the two girl's laugh as they tried to pin the other one down. Finally Holly was able to pin Tricia and she stood up in triumph. She raised her arms to the heavens and cheered! Then she was hit from behind and tumbled down a hill. "OW! Who the.?" The girl asked in a laugh. She rolled over as someone tickled her.
"Haha! I win!" Merry laughed as he continued to tickle the girl. Holly giggled and tried o throw him off her but couldn't.
"I give! Uncle! Please stop!" Holly begged. Merry finally stopped and laughed, but was thrown backwards and tickled like crazy! "I.win!" Holly panted as she smiled at him. She climbed back up the hill then collapsed on the ground gasping for breath. The others were rather laughing or smiling. Holly rested while Boromir showed Merry and Pippin how to fight with their new short swords.
"Would you like to give it a try? You do have a sword my lady." Boromir said to Holly. She sighed and got up.
"Okay.but I've only had a few lessons.so I'm not that good." Holly confessed. She got out her sword, which was a long rapier. The men looked at in wonder.
"What make of sword is that?" Aragorn asked.
"Um.I think it was made in France.or Italy.a rapier. My favorite!" Holly chimed. She took a fighting stance and then charged. She had loved sword fighting from the moment she set eyes on the shiny weapon.
Boromir was taken aback by this girl. She was so fast and fought in a style that was unknown in any place on middle earth. They must have been telling the truth, for no man or woman could fight in such a manner, and none had ever gotten so close to beating him in such a short amount of time.
"Incredible." Merry mumbled as he stared at the girl in front of him. She was so complex yet so simple.it was needlessly complicated. He smiled dreamily and wondered what Holly thought of him.
Holly was starting to run out of moves, and she knew that she had no chance of actually winning. So she decided to try out her new move. Boromir was about to thrust his sword, but just as he did Holly fell backwards onto the ground and as Boromir's hand was above her foot she kicked and the sword went flying into the air. Holly did a backward summersault, stood up, and looked up to make sure she could catch the sword without killing herself. She stuck her sword into the ground and caught Boromir's sword with both her hands. "Whoa! It worked! Sweet!" Holly said as she put down the sword and jumped up and down. Rachel and Tricia cheered while the fellowship just stared.wide-eyed, and some of their mouths were agape.
"Well.I.*clears throat* that was amazing. Where did you learn to fight?" Boromir asked.
"I took a class at a place near my town. Rachel is taking an archery class there and Tricia is taking a dagger one, which I'm also taking too. Though she has been to a few Archery ones." Holly explained. The hobbits just shrugged while the others stared at her with confused faces. Holly smiled and sat down on a rock next to Merry, who jumped up and went over to Boromir.
"I want to learn some more." He said. Boromir glanced at Holly and then nodded. He picked up his sword and began to teach Merry some more on fighting. Holly got some food and watched with her friends. Whispering to each other about what was going on.
"Are we really going to go with them? We know what's going to happen if we do." Tricia said.
"I really don't want to. This is way to dangerous, it's not a game." Holly replied.
"Yeah, but think of all the cool places we'd get to go!" Rachel whispered excitedly.
"And all of the people we'd watch die. Rae.please.tonight I'm going back to the pond to try and find a way back. With or without you guys." Holly confessed. Tricia and Rachel looked at each other. Holly understood. "Then I guess I'm on my own." Holly sighed.
