A/N: Longer Chap.
Holly bent down and quickly grabbed a handful of snow. She rolled it into a ball then waited. As soon as she saw Frodo begin to slip she threw the first snowball at Rachel.
Hey! You butt!" Rae exclaimed. Pippin and her began to make more snowballs. Holly ran towards Boromir and made sure to duck at the next snowball. It hit Boromir and he was thrown backwards as he was about to bend down to pick up the ring. Holly grabbed it then was bombarded by snowballs. She fell and rolled until she hit someone. It was Aragorn who helped her up.
"Where's the ring?" Frodo asked while frantically looking around the ground. Holly thrust her hand into the hobbit's chest and opened it, revealing the chain with the ring hanging down. Holly was glad that she had not actually touched it, though she heard its call, she would not answer.
"Take it." The girl said without looking at the object she held. She dropped it and Frodo grabbed it. Holly turned around and walked away while grabbing more snow to get back at her friend with.
"She.didn't even look at it." Frodo muttered. Aragorn smiled after the girl, glad to know that she was trustworthy and had past the test. He smiled at Frodo who smiled back.
"Holly.why did you do that?" Rachel asked.
"I had to. I made the decision a while back to change that part. In a way I wish I hadn't. That thing is scary and powerful.I can't wait till it burns in the fires of Mordor." Holly replied. She shook off the feeling of being watched and threw a snowball at Merry.
The snow was deep and went to Tricia's armpits. Holly and she were gritting through the harsh wind and cold temperature. Rachel seemed perfectly fine except that she was moving slow because of the snow. Holly wanted to push Legolas off the cliff as he walked past her atop the white powder. The whole "mountain falling down on us" thing started to happen. Though Tricia wasn't exactly ready for the impact. She fell and was barely able to grab the edge of the cliff in time. Holly and Legolas were first ones out. Holly saw Tricia and cried out. The girl edged closer to the edge but stayed a few feet back.her fear of heights suddenly overtook her.
"Holly!" Tricia sobbed. Holly reached out her hand and crawled on her belly to get closer. Legolas threw her back and pulled Tricia up. Holly just looked shamefully at her friend. She had let her down.she could have died.
"Thank you Legolas." Tricia said. The Elf bowed to her and helped his other companions escape the snow. Frodo made the decision to go to Moria. As the others headed down the mountain Holly went up it.
"Where are you going?" Aragorn asked.
"I think I have a better chance of surviving if I go this way!" Holly yelled back. Boromir grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her in the opposite direction.
"Amusing." He said sarcastically. Holly grinned.
"I try!" She said. Then sneezed.great.she was cold and sick. Not fun!
"Holly! Don't you dare get sick on me! I'm not carrying you down this mountain!" Rachel yelled at her friend. Holly just gave her the hurt puppy look and then giggled.
"I'm not sick! I just don't like the cold! You know that perfectly well."
"Yeah, but if you even step outside for a minute in snow you have a cold for a week!" Tricia pointed out. Her friend crossed her arms and continued down the mountain in silence with the exception of an occasional sneeze or cough.
