Sapphire was enjoying Aragorn's annoyance as she broke out in 'The Song That Never Ends'
"The song better end or we'll go insane!" Gimli muttered. Sapphire stifled a laugh but kept singing.
"If you do not be quiet-" Aragorn shouted but stopped himself. "I mean, Lady Sapphire, please, you must be silent, just in case enemies overhear." Sapphire nodded but knew that the real reason was because she was starting to get on his nerves. As the group stopped to rest Sat near a large rock and played 'I Spy' with herself, which is not exactly easy because you already know the answers. I wish I could get my notebook out of my backpack. She thought, but since her hands were tied, it would have been rather difficult. She soon got bored and started singing '100 Bottled of Coke in the Bag' and she could've sworn she saw Aragorn twitch. When she got to thirty bottles of coke Merry and Pippin soon bombarded her with questions.
"What are you singing?" Merry asked.
"100 Bottles of Coke in the Bag. It was originally 100 bottles of bear on the wall, but since I don't drink and there are no walls, from what I can see, I changed it."
"What's coke?" Was Pippin's question. Oy. She thought that answer might be hard to come up with.
"It's a drink from my world. It's pretty good. In fact I have some in my backpack." She said. She was trying to be nice, but the two hobbits exchanged glances and Sapphire knew what they were thinking. "Oh right. Gee I almost forgot, I'm a 'spy'" She said sarcastically.
"Well it's not that, it's just..." Merry said trying to think of an answer that wouldn't offend her.
"It could be poisoned." Pippin answered.
"Pippin!"
"That's okay." Sapphire said. " I'm just not used to people thinking I'm out to kill them."
"Well we didn't mean it like that." Pippin said.
"I know." Sapphire replied. They sat in silence for a while, until Aragorn yelled for everyone to hide. She looked up to see a huge cloud of black birds coming toward them. It didn't seem so scary in the movie, but in real life it sent shivers up everyone's spine. Stupid, stupid Sapphire! She thought, mentally slapping herself. Way to make them still think you're a spy! That was not smart at all! Sapphire wondered how she could have forgotten that. As many times as I had watched the movie I should have remembered that! Sapphire attempted to get up only to have the assortment of knifes and swords shoved in her face.
"I you are not a spy, as you say, then why did you not warn us?" Boromir asked. Sapphire figured saying "I forgot." Wouldn't fly with them. Sapphire looked around at the angry faces, and suddenly got angry herself!
"I am not a fortune teller! I can't see into the future and make wacky predictions just to save your hide! How was I to know I'd end up in Middle Earth and become privy to a cheap reenactment of the birds, huh! Besides If I was a spy, don't you think I would have called for help by now!" She shouted. Gandalf studied her for a moment, and then spoke.
"If you were a spy and had some way contacted Sauron, there would be no help for you." Gandalf turned around facing the mountains. "The passage south is being watched, we must take the Pass of Caradhas." Gandalf said and prepared to move. With one last glare from Boromir everyone turned to help Gandalf, but Legolas whose knife was still trained on her. Sapphire gulped.
"It would be really great if... if you could please put that knife away." She said fearfully. Legolas sighed and sheathed his knife.
"Why do you insist on making this so difficult?" The elf asked sounding exasperated.
"Excuse me?" Sapphire asked suddenly getting angry and slightly braver now that the knife was gone.
"Why do you not just admit you are a spy and then all will be well." Just who do you think you are? She thought angrily, and you better believe she said it too.
"Listen here buddy, I don't know who you think you are going around accusing people of being spies, but you've got some nerve. I am not now nor ever will be a spy, so stuff it." She said and attempted to get up. Legolas clenched his teeth in anger. Do not yell; do not yell he told himself.
"Let me help you up." He said through gritted teeth.
"I don't need your help, I can get up on my own." She said. After many trial- and - error she finally made it up. "YAY! I'm up!" She shouted happily, but just as soon as she said it a certain elf tripped her. She angrily let out a string of elvish curses. "Elves" She growled. "Who needs 'em?"
