DISCLAIMER: To quote Took of Rohan (from our reviews): "This is trite."
ABBY'S NOTE: Lindi just left for a missions trip in South Dakota, so she won't be able to read your reviews for a little bit— No computer... Poor Lindi. Anyway, I know that this is a really short chappie and that it took forever to put up. Please forgive me. I will type up the next chapter very quickly, now that I have the actual story to type up. And the reason that this chapter is so short, by the way, is that it ends at the end of the first book. So, I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to review!
Chapter 16
Aragorn was the first to reach the dying Boromir. He rushed to the injured warrior's side, but he realized that there was nothing he could do to help.
"Please forgive me... I tried to take The Ring from Ali," Boromir gasped. "The orcs... they took the halflings, and one of the elf-maidens..." with that, Boromir died.
Legolas heard what Boromir had said. He had also noticed Ali and Abby headed in the direction that the orcs had gone. Silently, he ran off after them. There was no way he could allow them to run after a troop of orcs, especially since Ali had The Ring.
Ali and Abby had finally made it out of the forest. They stood by the remains of their camp, their boats grounded only a few yards away.
Again, Ali was faced with a tough decision: Go after the orcs or begin the long trek to Mordor? She knew that she really shouldn't chase after the orcs— she had The Ring of Power, and she had to destroy it. Still... Ali suddenly realized that the hobbits were probably not the only ones carried off.
"Just great!" Ali yelled. "Lindi got herself carried off by the stupid orcs!"
"How do you know that? Maybe she just got lost..." Abby said, for once trying to act the part of the calming influence.
"I saw it in Galadriel's mirror," Ali replied angrily. She didn't get a chance to finish because Legolas came running out of the forest at this point.
"Good! You can come with us," Ali said commandingly. "We have to go after the orcs"
"No," Legolas said. Before he got a chance to explain, Ali began yelling at him.
"What do you mean, 'NO'?! they took the hobbits and Lindi! Don't you care?!?!"
"You can't go after them," Legolas said calmly. "Your first, and only duty is to try and destroy The Ring."
Ali was silent for a moment. "Fine," she said through clenched teeth. "Abby and I will head to Mordor if, and ONLY if, you SWEAR that you, Aragorn, and Gimli will head after the orcs."
Legolas thought for a moment. "You might need more help in Mordor..." he began.
"Look: Either we split up or we're all going after the orcs! You're wasting time!" yelled the now short-tempered Ali.
"Then I guess that all I have left to say is: Good Luck," Legolas said.
"There is no such thing as luck, especially here," Abby muttered.
"Thank you Legolas... and the same to you," Ali said, trying to calm down and glare at Abby at the same time. "Come on, Abby," Ali said, picking up her pack and tossing it into one of the boats. Abby did the same thing before helping Ali shove the boat off from shore. They paddled to the far side, left the boats, and continued on foot to the land of Mordor.
