Chapter 7
The three remaining girls solemnly gathered up the orc weapons and the broken horn of Gondor and placed them in the funeral boat they had prepared for Boromir.
Soon after, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli laid their fallen companion in the boat, and Aragorn pushed it out into the rushing waters of the Anduin. The others watched from the shore as the boat tumbled off the side of the falls.
" Bye," Carla whispered softly, so only Jane and Niori could her.
They walked back from the shore. Niori was still distraught, and was being comforted by Legolas.
After the others had started to walk back, only Aragorn stayed by the waters edge, watching.
Jane walked up beside the ranger and spoke softly.
" He was very brave," Jane whispered softly to Aragorn, " he'll be missed," Jane hugged him in comfort.
Surprised, Aragorn returned the motion. After a few moments, they both headed back down the shore where the others had gathered.
" Quickly!" Legolas cried, pulling one of the remaining boats to the waters edge as Jane and Aragorn arrived, " Frodo, Sam and Erin have already reached the eastern shore!"
Aragorn stared at him, but made no attempts to follow.
Slowly, Legolas walked up from the shoreline and back up to Aragorn.
" You mean not to follow?" The Elf asked Aragorn in a confused manner.
" Their fates are no longer in our hands," Aragorn replied, turning away from the water and facing the woods.
The three remaining girls looked on in silence. They were still quite stunned (distraught) and speechless from the death of one of their friends.
" Then it has all been in vein," Gimli replied gruffly, " the fellowship has failed!"
Aragorn looked from Gimli, to Legolas and then to the girls and then spoke.
" Not if the company stands true. We will not leave Merry and Pippin to torment and death-"
" Personally, I say we do," Niori spoke, crossing her arms over her chest.
Aragorn glared at the girl, and then continued. " Come, travel lightly.lets hunt some Orc!"
" Oh God," Carla muttered, " Now we're going to have to run a lot!"
Aragorn took off running into the trees, and was quickly followed by Legolas and Gimli, and then, reluctantly, by Niori, Jane and Carla.
" This is sooooo going to bite!" Jane mumbled to the other two girls as the three dodged through trees, following the others.
~ Rohan, ~ Carla thought, ~ Here we come! ~

"Can we take a rest? it's kind of hard to walk for myself and the baby. Hell, it's hard no matter what!" Erin cried.
"We can't take a rest quite yet," Sam said, looking for a place they could rest.
"We'll never get out of here! they just don't say Emyn Muil has razor sharp rocks for nothing!" Erin complained.
The three walked on and then paused. "Well, this looks familiar," Sam finally said.
Frodo sighed, "That's because we've been here before, we're going in circles!" he cried.
"I'm hungry!" Eirn complained, "What do we have for food?"
"Let's see..." Sam started, looking through his pack and taking out some Lembas bread, "Lembas bread! and look....more Lembas bread!"
He threw Erin and Frodo each a piece and Erin sighed, "I can't do this! I need to rest," she said, plopping down on a rock.
Her eyes widened and she jumped up yelling in pain, "OW! MY ASS!" she cried, "THOSE ROCKS HURT!"
It echoed in the distance. Frodo turned his head to laugh and Sam scolded Erin, "SHHH!!" he said, sharply.
Erin ignored Sam and exclaimed, "Look!"
She pointed to a nearby place where there was an opening. "Let's go rest over there!" Frodo said, happily.
They sat down under the shade of a rock. Soon, they drifted off into a restless sleep. All of a sudden, Frodo stirred, "Gandalf!" he cried, sitting up.
"Mr.Frodo?" Sam started, "are you alright?"
"Yes, it was just a dream," Frodo replied, "We'd better start walking again".
And so they did. The sun was hot on their faces and made them thirsty. Suddenly, Frodo gasped. He clutched the ring tightly and breathed in deeply. "It's getting heavier," Erin said.
Frodo nodded, "It hurts and I feel like I'm going to collapse every once in awhile," he revealed.
"Don't worry," Erin said, winking, "I'll make you feel better later".
Now, it was Sam's turn to examine the fluffy clouds. "Hey look!" he said, to himself, "It's starting to get dark already, we'll have to stop for the night soon".
