Chapter 11
The group looked about, they were in a clearing, surrounded by trees and plant life. Aragorn made a check list in his head. * Jem.....fine (thank god) , Gimli.....fine, Legolas....fine, Kat....unconcious* Aragorn swiftly went to Kat' side, as did Jem and Legolas, Gimli seemed more interested in the scenery.
Kat wake up! Jem said urgently, trying to rouse her friend.
Five more minutes Kat mumbled into the grass. Jem looked at Kat with an idea. Jem raised her hands, and dropped about a hundred little cubes of ice onto Kat. Kat shot up like a rocket, trying to dry herself off with her powers.
Oh, you suck on SO many levels! Kat screeched at Jem. Legolas and Aragorn couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Kat running about the clearing, trying to get the ice out of her clothes.
Just doing my duty Jem said with a smug look on her face, that smug look disappeared pretty quickly once she was raised into the air by Kat's telekinesis. This isn't just pay back, it's a favor as well. Kat thought towards Jem. Kat raised Jem into the air and dropped her. Onto Aragorn, after all, Kat was mean, but not that mean. Aragorn grabbed Jem as she fell, and Jem smiled at him as he put her onto the ground once again.
Sorry to burst in on your little moment Gimli said, agitated. But how did we get here? Gimli asked looking towards the group, baffled. The group looked at Kat. ( *AN: now someone who REALLY knew this story well, would know how this happened) kat sighed.
Well, you people obviously have a bad memory. Don't you remember when we first met? Kat asked looking towards the men. They nodded, still confused. Don't you remember what I can do? Orbing! I can orb from one place to another, up to 1/4 of a mile! Don't you guys remember me freaking you out? Legolas and Aragorn had a look on their faces that said how could I be so dense?'. Jem had the same look on her face Gimli was still confused, Kat remembered that he hadn't been there when she showed the rest of them. She quickly filled him in.
Can I have a demonstration? Gimli asked, genuinely interested. Kat smiled. Then Gimli remembered what happened last time he requested a demonstration. Wait, i've changed my mind. Gimli said quickly, glancing from side to side.
It doesn't matter Kat said glumly. I can only do it if I have saved up a lot of strength, and afterwards, I feel a bit faint, if its a long way I usually pass out a few minutes after its done She said, informing him, and still not making the connection.
Kat Jem asked lightly. How far did you orb us? She looked and spoke to Kat as if she were a small child.
About, i'm not quite sure, but a LONG way from where we were, it was especially hard, considering I had to take the five of us She said looking towards Jem, innocently.
Aright, so would it be safe to say, your about to pass out? Jem said, as if asking the weather.
I don't know, probably, I never feel it until it's too la- Kat was cut off as she crumpled to the ground. No one was close enough to catch her as she fell, part of the fact was that they hadn't expected it! Legolas walked over and picked her up, he was used to it by now ( sad isn't it?).
They began walking Jem muttering things like She gets all the attention', no one heard her though, and for that she was happy. Kat roused quickly enough, said her apologies, and started to walk again.
My, my, don't you make the odd sight Said a voice from the woods. The group turned, and were astounded.
Gandalf Aragorn gasped, shocked at the sight before him. There stood Gandalf, in all his glory, white robes and all. But you fell? He said, a statement and a question.
Through fire, and water, from the lowest dungeon to the highest peak I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last I threw down my enemy, and smote his ruins on the Mountain side Gandalf paused, as if giving the matter thought. Darkens took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, stars wheeled overhead, every day was as long as a life age on the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I have been sent back, until my task is done. Gandalf seemed to have finished his tale.
Aragorn stood forward. Gandalf se said with reverence, and awe. Seeming to confuse the old man.
Gandalf? He said, unsure of himself, then a look of recognition crossed his face and he said with pride yes, that was what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey, that was my name. I am Gandalf the white, and I come to you now at the turn of the tide. He looked about the clearing. Ah, I see that you have found Kat and Jem, I hope that I did the right thing in sending them to you Gandalf said, a smug expression on his face. I thought they could help you, and if not help, then at least lighten your foul moods Gandalf had a smile on his face that said and I KNOW you were in a foul mood'.
The two girls smiled at Gandalf. You gave me quite a fright in the forest Jem said, looking at Gandalf, an eyebrow arched.
You saw me? Gandalf said in wonderment. Why didn't you say anything, I never saw you His eyebrows were creased with worry, he should have known she was there.
Well, I fainted before my mouth started working Jem said, almost angrily. Gandlaf nodded his head in understanding.
Come, we must ride to Edoras with all speed Gandalf whistled bringing a Meara, and three normal horses to the edge of the forest. Jem. Jem heard Kat's voice in her head. Can you please freeze time for a minute? Jem wondered why her friend wanted this, but did as she said. Everyone but Kat was frozen in time when Jem did this.
Thanks, I need to talk to you, without them eavesdropping Kat looked around suspiciously, as if they were still listening. In my visions Legolas always rides with Gimli, and Aragorn rides alone, that means you can just hop on behind Aragorn, but what about me? Im gonna end up all by my onesy ( The Jack Sparrow way of saying Lonesome) on the last horse! I wanna ride with Legolas! Kat was whining, and she knew it, but at this point she couldn't care less.
Gimli can ride on a horse by himself Jem said, as if Kat's reasoning was a stupid thing.
I don't think he can! He's really kinda bad, I think that's why he always rides with Legolas! Kat was pleading with Jem to find an answer to her woes.
Hello? He has legs for a reason! Jem said, and Kat wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic, but the smirk on her face, said she was. I'm sure he can ride by himself, he would be too arrogant to ask to ride with Gandalf, so it will be fun to try and see him do this on his own! Jem said putting a hand on Kat's shoulder.
I guess you're right, but i'm gonna have to hop on behind Legolas pretty fast, or Gimli might make a big deal, and we have to make it look natural, as if we did this all the time, what if Gimli asks why I can't ride on my own? Kat asked, apparently Jem had to be the answer to all her questions today.
Say you don't know how She answered simply.
Don't know how? I have my own horse for goodness sakes! I have known how to ride since I was six! Kat said incredulously.
Yea, but does Gimli know that? Jem said with a smile, soon Kat joined her. Ok, get where you were before, i'm gonna have to unfreeze them soon, it's getting hard to hold them Kat got back to where she was standing before, then Jem unfroze the men.
Shadowfax Gandalf said stroking the white horse The lord of all horses, and he has been my friend through many adventures Gandalf quickly got on the horse, and watched curiously at the other seating arrangements. Normally he would have called only two other horses, because Gimli always rode with Legolas, and Aragorn rode alone. So Gandalf figured he would only need one more horse so that Kat and Jem could share it, boy was he wrong. He watched in awe as Legolas jumped onto the horse, then helped Kat up behind him, Aragorn jumped on his horse, them helped Jem up behind him, while Gimli clambered to the only horse left and grumpily climbed on. What were they judging this by? Hair color? Gandalf shook his head and began the ride to Edoras.
