Disc: Caffeine.hehehe.
A/N: Hehe, u thought u were in suspense after that last chapter..which really wasn't all that suspenseful.o well. Just wait till the end of this one.
There they were. All of them stood on the shore of Amon Hen. Tricia and Rachel looked at Holly who was starring at the ground with a sad yet determined look on her face. "I'll get some firewood." She said as she walked into the woods. Merry followed and a minute later Boromir did too. The other two girls wanted to run after their friend, but they couldn't stop her. They could only hope for the best. They watched sadly as Frodo also left the group.
Holly was trying to loose Merry. He had been following her and refused to leave her side. "Merry, why don't you go on back and add on what you've got. I'll be there.in a minute." Holly said. Merry sighed and walked back towards the river. Holly looked back over to where Boromir was. He picked up a few more sticks then met up with Frodo. The girl dropped her load of wood and ran straight for them. She had no idea what she was going to do but it had to be something good. Merry was probably just noticing that Frodo was gone. She slowed her pace a little and tackled Frodo before Boromir lost it. They rolled down the hill a ways and then stopped when they ran into a bush.
"Holly! What's wrong with you?" The Hobbit asked wildly as he scrambled away from Holly.
"Frodo, please. Don't ask questions, just run, go back to the shore and go to Mordor with Sam. You know you must do this, and I know you don't want to put Sam in harm's way but if you don't take him he will die.a-and all will have been in vain. So go! Run!" The girl ordered as she helped the Hobbit up and pushed him in the direction of the river. Frodo looked at her then nodded. He ran off leaving Holly alone in the woods.
"Holly! Holly!" Rachel yelled as she ran through the woods. She had gotten separated from the others and had no idea where she was going. Oh well, as long as she kept heading in the direction opposite of the river she was bound to meet Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and her two friends soon.
Tricia followed Legolas through the woods and got out her daggers, as she knew that orcs would be there soon. She only hoped that Holly and Rachel were okay.
Holly ran down the hill, only guessing that she was heading in the right direction. She had kept him from attacking Frodo but even so, he would still try to defend the two hobbits. She heard Merry and Pippin yelling. She followed their voices to a small clearing where Boromir was already fighting off the orcs. She pulled out her sword and began to fight along side the man. Keeping a sharp eye out for Lurtz.
They heard the horn of Gondor blowing. Boromir was still alive, but what about Holly? Tricia shot an orc with an arrow and began to run in the direction that the horn was.
Unfortunately Rachel had wandered off so far that she thought that the Horn of Gondor was nothing but the creaking of the trees. She began to get worried.
Merry watched in horror as a huge orc pulled out a large bow and arrow. The creature aimed it at Boromir who was busy killing off the other orcs. Holly, however, saw the large orc and ran at Boromir. She pulled him out of the way just seconds before the arrow went where Boromir had been standing. Then the orc got mad.
Yes! She had done it; she had made Lurtz miss his target. As long as she made sure Boromir was not hit then she'd be happy. Unfortunately she had forgotten to look out for herself. She turned and saw Lurtz pointing his next arrow straight at her. He released so there wasn't enough time to move.Holly suddenly felt someone push her. She hit the ground and heard a sickening rip and a yell of pain. She turned and saw Merry clutching his left arm. Blood seeped through his fingers. "No." Holly whispered in shock. She stood and ran straight at Lurtz with her sword raised. She slashed but he pulled out a dagger and blocked her attempt. He fought with her until she cut his side. Then the creature roared and knocked Holly down with a hard hit of his arm. He raised his bow and shot Boromir in the shoulder. Holly got back up and was able to stab Lurtz once more with her sword before being carried off by an orc.
The remaining orcs had flown and Tricia ran to the clearing. Legolas and Gimli were a few feet ahead of her. She looked around expecting to see Holly standing near Boromir's dead body, but she only saw Aragorn pulling an arrow of Boromir's shoulder, Lurtz lay near a tree, dead. Holly and Rachel were no where to be found.
"They took Holly and the little ones." Boromir sobbed through the pain. Tricia stared in the direction of the orcs and tried to think of why they would take Holly.
"What about Rachel? Where is she?" Tricia asked desperately.
"She was not with us." Boromir replied. Aragorn patched up his shoulder then they walked back to the river. Frodo and Sam had already gone.
"We should follow them." Legolas said as he got a boat ready.
"No! I know that they'll be okay. We need to go after Holly, Merry, and Pippin. They shouldn't have taken her.It makes no sense. Also we need to find Rachel!" Tricia said. The men starred at her then Aragorn nodded.
"She's right. Rachel may be hurt and in need of help, and I am sure that the others will soon need us as well." The Ranger said. They began to look for Rachel.
