Chapter 8

Shiny Happy People Holding Hands

Aragorn gestured for the troupe to make haste across the grasslands separating them from their destination. The little hobbits pushed on the back of her legs to keep her going the right direction. "I don't know what I've been told…" Autumn muttered under her breath.

Legolas grinned, but she couldn't see that. Oh no, she left her glasses behind. Isn't it grand? Shut up. Never!

Thok!

Tree. That had to hurt. A tree had loomed out of the veil mist and introduced itself abruptly to the grim girl. Obviously.

The light around her dimmed gently to a golden green glow; they had arrived to Lothlorien woods. And Autumn's lovely welcome was, tripping over a tree root! Oh, wow. Hello, child. "Hi."

The whole party stopped and stared at her. "What?"

"You just said hello to thin air." Said Boromir, Aragorn sidled up to her and furtively checked her pupils.

"No, I didn't. Some…" They cannot hear me love. "Oh, I gotcha." You may want to stop speaking out loud, you are making them nervous. Autumn then realized that the hobbits had abandoned her legs and had huddled around that she assumed to be Gimli. "Sorry," she muttered and began walking again. Hi. Hello. The voice was that of a female and tinged with amusement. Soo… who are you? You know who I am. You just do not know it. How does that work? The voice laughed gaily. You will understand soon. Do you like monkeys?

Frodo's POV

I love monkeys very much. What in the Valar's name? Oops!

Back to the Narrator

I simply cannot hold two conversations at once. Would you excuse me? Sure.

Frodo's POV again

The voice came back, sounding wise and mysterious, quite different from the silly one that had appeared out of nowhere saying that she liked monkeys, what ever those where. Frodo, Gimli was speaking of an evil witch, and it sounded like Autumn was holding back snorts of laughter. You are coming to us. Coming to whom? These are the footsteps of doom. You bring great evil with you, ring-bearer. "… and are never seen again." Autumn was choking.

Narrator

Gimli puffed up a little and declared gruffly into the ears of who ever was listening, "Well; here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox… oh!" That was it. Autumn couldn't take it anymore. As soon as she had felt the tip of an elvish arrow at her temple, she dropped to the ground convulsing with hysterics.

"Your dwarf breathed so loudly we could have shot him in the dark." Murmured the dignified elf; glancing oddly at the human girl who seemed to find this so comical.

After the fellowship had undergone interrogation (the newbie elves avoided the girl grinning like the Cheshire cat) they blindfolded them all at the expense of one of the elves getting an odd squinting stare from Autumn. When he asked why she had done that, he got the reply, "Stick to your own business." Poor guy.

And so they moved on, with the hobbits stumbling a bit and Legolas complaining loudly as to, "I am a fellow elf, how can you not trust me? Oh, this is an out rage!" Autumn was enjoying her conversation with the disembodied voice. She had been left without a blindfold after the elves had been informed that they would not need to, she was already blind enough (although, it seemed that the sentries were pleased not to have to go near her except to keep her from smashing into trees).

Authors note- I'm SO SORRY! I cannot complete this chapter as alas, my brain is leaking out of my ears and I am otherwise preoccupied with writing my first chapter of Catastrophoulos. WOOT! Original novel of my own, how sweet is that? Check it out some time. Same name, LOOK AT EEEEET!
