Stalking the Fellowship

Chapter fifteen:

"I'm hungry," announced Fran.

"Eat the Lembas then," Maddy suggested.

"No, it tastes vile now."

"Well you're going to have to put up with it for quite a while," Said Mo, now trotting slowly next to her friends as she had now gained some control and respect from Orion; well, most of the time.

"Are we lost?" asked Fran.

"No, we're following the river IDIOT!" replied Maddy.

"Just asking," Defended Fran.

"What happened to that map?" Mo asked attempting to avoid an argument.

"I lost it," Confessed Maddy.

"Madeleine!" Gasped Fran mockingly, "How are you able to live without the scared magical map of yours?"

"I confessed, ok. There's no need to rub salt in sore wounds."

"I thought you like salt, Madeleine," Fan smirked.

"Shut up both of you. I don't think Maddy lost the map per se." Mo looked at the manure Bree had made further down the trail.

"Is that Rohan?" giggled Fran.

"Yes Fran. Bree ate Maddy's map."

"What!" Screeched Maddy as Fran began laughing hysterically.

"What the hell are you laughing for Fran? We're in the middle of nowhere with no Map, stupid!"

Francesca's laughter ceased abruptly.

"Please tell me you have another map," Mo asked Maddy desperately.

"No," Maddy answered calmly, "I don't."

"Great!" Cried Mo.

"Let's just follow the river until the big water fall thingy, and follow Frodo and Sam or the other lot."

"We shall still need a map. What if we get off course, what if we loose the group and what if..." Rambled Maddy.

"What if you quit whining and move, because following the Fellowship is the only map we need right now," grumbled Fran.

Fran struck the side of coco with her heels which prompted a steady gallop from Coco.

"It's been four days. Nothing has happened and I'm so bored," Whined Fran.

"Would you rather orcs came and killed us?" Maddy asked mockingly.

"What's that?" Mo asked looking around.

The three paused looking around. There was a distinct noise metal on metal.

"The orcs!" Maddy hissed, "We must be at Amon Hen. Which means...Legolas!" She said desperately, "What if he dies? What if he has..."

"Shut up!" Snapped Mo, "He will live without you after the fellowship has disbanded. Now could we please get back to the matter at hand... where are we going to hide?"

"Behind a rock? It worked for Merry and Pippin," Said Fran.

"Like that's going to work. They did then get kidnapped by orcs." Said Mo dubiously

"Yes it will. If it works for Hobbits it'll work for us, even if we are bigger. Then we can focus on more important things," Said Maddy.

"Like what?"

"Legolas' Safety! We have to find some way to save him!"

"We should gag you, attach weights and throw you in the river," Said Mo shooting her daggers.

"Rock!" Said Fran running and ducking behind it.

"Oh fine!" Maddy huffed, being dragged under.

"Look!" Said Fran.

"Aragorn!" Squealed Maddy.

"Madeleine!" Mo reprimanded.

"Oh fine!"

Aragorn was heaving his sword around, whacking and slicing orcs in half.

"Go Aragorn, get your grove on, go A..." chanted Fran.

"Hit it! Go on! Hit it!" said Maddy.

Mo rolled her eyes shaking her head in defeat.

Suddenly a horn sounded through the forest, breaking through the constant clatter of metal.

"Boromir!" Maddy breathed, tears already welling up in her eyes.

"What are you snivelling about?" Mo asked,

"Boromir! He's going to...going to d...die!"

"Yes, you've always known that."

"Yeah, well. I didn't know he was alive did I?"

"We've been here for nearly two months!" was Mo's incredulous reply.

"That's not enough! I'm still in mourning here! And we don't have anything black!"

"Anyway, where are we going? Frodo or Aragorn? Mo questioned.

"Aragorn," Fran replied without hesitation.

"Aragorn," Maddy confirmed, sniffing.

"I guessed that it would be. We had better get our horses, those three run quite quickly in Rohan."

That decided the three went to get their horses, Maddy roughly wiping her eyes.
