"I think it would be best if the little ones stayed outside." Gandalf looked down at the hobbits. They stared back innocently (a look that didn't work for them).
"Yes." Aragorn agreed. "They would probably cause damage beyond reparation in the palace."
"But I don't trust them out here unsupervised." Legolas stated. "I have no doubt that they could destroy the city in a matter of minutes if they wanted to, which I'm sure they do."
"So you stay out here with them."
"Why don't you watch them?"
"It was your idea!"
"I don't want to!"
"Let's not get into this again!" Gimli inturrupted. "Elf, you watch them!"
"That's cold!" Legolas said, not only at the fact that Gimli assigned him the hobbits, but also at his failure to acknowledge Legolas by his name. Gandalf, Aragorn, and Gimli quickly rushed to the palace before Legolas could refuse. They had to give up their arms at the door, except Gandalf kept his staff. Legolas turned and looked down, to find four faces of evil staring back at him. "Whatever you're plotting, you can just forget it."
The hobbits looked down in dissappointment.
"I think I can help one of you though...I doubt very much."
He got four looks of confusion and curiosity.
"TC...you need to learn to use your right hand!"
"What?"
"You're left handed...left handed people...or hobbits...are said to be possessed by a demon. And the last thing I need right now is a demonic hobbit. Already got three of those." Legolas looked at the other three hobbits. They looked back indignantly.
"So you're saying I'm possessed by an evil spirit...because I'm left handed?!"
"I'm not saying that's the only reason you may be possessed...and I'm not saying you're the only one, out of you four, who is possessed. Now grab your sword, and Pippin, give me yours." (the hobbits' swords had been returned).
After about ten minutes, TC's sword had become more successful at flying than she had been at using her right hand. Legolas could see from the very start the task would not be easy, at all. Then Aragorn, Gimli, Gandalf and a bunch of other people exited the palace. TC's sword flew dangerously close to Aragorn's head, but he caught it by the hilt as it flew by. He turned to see what was going on, and began walking over to them. The rest of the group was following an old dude.
"What are you doing?" he demanded.
"Trying to teach TC to be right handed!"
"Give me that sword!" Aragorn said, handing TC's sword back to her, and taking Pippin's from Legolas. "I can do a better job than that!"
Though, he was not able to. On the first try, TC's sword flew...and beheaded a chicken. The farmer stared at it for a second, then began chasing them, screaming something about his dead pet...
"I wanna ride!" TC complained insistently. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, the hobbits, and everyone else in the city (minus Gandalf, who'd departed earlier) had to go to Helm's Deep.
"I don't care!" Aragorn snapped.
"But my feet hurt!"
"SHUT UP!"
"You're so mean to them!" Eowyn observed.
"Yeah man! Listen to her!" MC joined in.
"You think you could do better?" Aragorn challenged, ignoring MC.
"Yes I do." Eowyn said confidently.
"Fine." Aragorn called the hobbits, and they grouped around him. "Okay, as of now, you guys listen to Eowyn."
"So we don't have to listen to you?!" Pippin asked.
"For now you don't." Aragorn grinned, evilly.
"Hey Eowyn..." TC asked. "Can I ride?"
"Sure." Eowyn helped the hobbit onto her horse.
(five minutes later...)
"Eowyn, I'm bored! I wanna get down!" TC whined.
"Okay." Eowyn halted her horse to let TC get down.
"I wanna ride now!" Pippin said. Eowyn helped him onto the horse, and they began walking again.
"My feet hurt now! I wanna ride!" TC stated a couple minutes later. Eowyn stopped the horse and let TC mount herself this time.
"Eowyn! This saddle's too small! My balls are being crushed!" Pippin squeaked (though he and TC had plenty of room).
"Eowyn! The horse stepped on my foot!" MC screamed.
"Eowyn! MC's in pain!" Merry yelled.
"SHUT UP!" Eowyn shouted. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"You're so mean to them." Aragorn stated, laughing.
"A spy!" Legolas shouted, near the front of the group. He, and several others, were staring at an evil looking warped wolf, now dead, along with the corpse of it's rider. They knew there would be more.
"Eowyn!" Theoden said. "Take the women, children, and the hobbits to Helm's Deep!"
"But I can fight!" Eowyn protested.
"Just do it!"
"Fine." Eowyn reluctantly led the people on the path to Helm's Deep. The four hobbits were at the back.
"I'm going to fight!" MC decided and turned to go towards the commencing battle.
"You can't!" TC argued. "You'll get killed!"
"I don't care!" MC ran off to join the fight. Merry followed her, Pippin followed him, and TC decided she might as well follow Pippin.
The hobbits were quickly separated. TC could see right away she didn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades unless she had a mount. She saw her chance when a warg came charging at her. She slashed at it's rider with her sword, killing it. The warg had stopped and was growling at TC. She did the only thing she could--and mounted it.
One of the warg riders had caught MC and Pippin, and it's mount was racing towards the cliff. Aragorn saw this, and quickly ran at it (though he was confused at why the two hobbits were there) and managed to kill the rider without getting MC and Pippin. Unfortunately, his hand got caught in the warg's hair, and they all went over the cliff.
After all of the wargs (except one) and warg riders were dead, Legolas couldn't find Aragorn. TC and Merry couldn't find MC and Pippin. Legolas saw a rider, still alive, though barely. Legolas ran over and began angrily interrogating it. After a couple minutes, the rider died, and Legolas stood up, not looking happy. TC and Merry went over to him. Legolas turned, and saw TC's (now tame) mount.
"TC WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he screamed, alarmed.
"Um...sitting?"
"GET OFF THAT THING!"
"Why? It's tame!"
"Now it is! During the night it will turn and maul us all!!!!!!"
"Don't say that! Legagorn is a nice warg!"
"Legagorn?"
"I couldn't decide who he reminded me of more, you or Aragorn..."
"Where's MC?" Merry asked.
"She, and Pippin, and Aragorn...they went over the edge..." Legolas answered, sadly.
"Are they coming back?"
"No."
"WHAT IS SHE DOING?!" Theoden yelled, running over to them.
"It's her new pet." Resentment creeped into Legolas's voice.
"It must be killed!"
"I'll do it!" Legolas eagerly held his bow and arrow up to the beast's head. TC paled.
"Think of it this way!" she said quickly. "I won't have to ride with you, and I won't have to beg you to let me ride!"
"She has a point."
Aragorn was woken up by a someone shaking him. Pippin was hovering over him, they were on a shoreline.
"Where are we?" the hobbit asked.
"How would I know?"
"You know everything!"
"I thank you for your confidence in me...but at the time, I do not know where we are."
"MERRY!" MC screamed, sitting by a rock.
"Oh man!" Aragorn's spirits sunk lower than they already were. Then, for some reason, a horse walked up to them, with nothing but a halter and lead rope. It laid down next to Aragorn, and he mounted. As the horse began walking away, Pippin realized Aragorn was trying to leave them behind!
"What are you doing?"
"Leaving!"
"What about us?!"
"You can walk!"
"TC COME ON!" Legolas yelled, trying to convince the hobbit to come with them. Why he was doing this, he did not know.
"NO!"
"WHY NOT?"
"I DON'T WANNA BE IN A GROUP OF PEOPLE!"
"SO RIDE BEHIND THE GROUP!"
"THEN I'LL BE ALONE!"
Legolas became very annoyed. "Fine! I'LL ride with you, and we can ride behind the group!"
"Okay."
Legolas didn't quite know why he'd made the offer, but it was too late now. He slowly climbed onto the Warg behind TC (which completely destroyed the reason why they'd let TC keep the thing).
A/N: I know it's short, but it took so long to write, and I'm not sure, it may be a while before I'm online again, so i decided to just post it now.
BTW: In case you didnt see in the summary, I extended the canoe bit in chapter...7. Once again, I apologise for taking so long to put this up!
