Stalking the Fellowship

Chapter twenty eight: Thoughts of home

"Maddy seems to think that she wouldn't have been killed too," Mo ranted, "Just because she knows all about...everything to do with Middle Earth, don't mean they give a crap about her. She's no different from us two!"

"Tell her that. This whole thing has become too emotional," Fran said from on top of a low branch of a suspicious looking tree. "It was exciting at first. Now we're always on the brink of death or travelling. Oh my God! Why the hell hasn't British Airways been invented people?" Fran's attempt to cheer Mo up worked. A sheepish grin illuminated Mo's sullen face.

"No doubt this is the most bizarre but memorable thing that happened in my life. I just want to know if I can go home. We don't know how long we have to stay here. Besides I've missed sooooo many TV shows already. Oh god!" Fran whined.

"What's wrong?" Asked Mo.

"TV! How am I supposed to live without TV!" Fran slapped her hands to her cheeks.

"What ever happens happens for a reason. Like Legolas suggesting to execute us, means I can play games with his mind for revenge." Mo jumped from a branch a little higher on the tree than where Fran was perched.

"I like it here to, but no one mentioned how BORING this fiasco gets in the middle, it's no wonder they didn't die from boredom before they even got to Gondor!"

"Don't preach to the choir!"

"Am I the only one enjoying myself?" Maddy joined the bitching session.

"You must miss something?" Questioned Mo.

"Nothing that I will miss more than not being here in middle earth. I'm not the bad guy here, so stop making me one!"

"I bet you have all the answers to everything to do with Middle earth."

"I know more then you two, yes, I'll admit that."

Mo and Fran gave each other 'I knew she thought that' looks, and turned away from Maddy.

"Oh come on that was obvious!" Defended Maddy.

"So? No need to rub it in!" Mo replied sternly.

"Well I also know that if you both want to get on with things we have to rejoin the company, who are already moving. SO COME ON!" Maddy turned on heel and walked out into the open plain.

"I'm going back. But there's going to be some changes around here..." Mo schemed.

Joining the company again much to the girls relief, they were actually more cheerful.

"Come on then! Shouldn't we be leaving?" said Mo.

"Glad to hear you again, what happened to not speaking to us?" asked Legolas.

"Yeah, well I thought the silent treatment in Middle Earth was pointless seeing as there are like a few other people you can talk to."

"So you still think we're spies?" asked Fran.

"No," came the reply in union.

"So you don't want to kill us? Because if you do we'll find our own way round."

"Yes, only sometimes when you're unbearable should we want to kill you," replied Gimli.

"Plus how can three ladies like you possibly have the knowledge of where anything is let alone direction?" interjected Aragorn, "It was a surprise to us that you could even find your way to Lothlorien."

"Oh we have a fair idea," said Mo, "don't we Maddy?"

"What? Oh yeah. Er lets see, Rohan is I think east of us and Gondor south or south east, and yes, the Misty Mountains are north east I think?"

"Ok then, you do know where things are."

"Yeah pretty much, we aren't completely stupid, so can we please go now?"

Soon after they set out with Merry and Pippin behind Gandalf and Aragorn respectively; Gimli was behind Legolas, with the Palantir amongst them.

Night soon settled in and camp was set. For their own privacy the girls were set a few metres away from the remaining Fellowship.

"You know what's going to happen now don't you?" said a tired and dirty Fran.

"Yeah Pippin is..." Said Maddy but before she could finish Mo had slapped her hard over the head.

"HEY! What was that for?" Shouted Maddy.

Mo pointed to Legolas. "We can't say anything that is to happen. What if it changes the course of events? Like time travelling. Everything happens for a reason. You should know better then that!"

"er...good point" replied Fran.

Maddy however had gone, and was speaking to Pippin.

"I guess she wants to talk before he 'disappears'," Fran mouthed.

"Hmm...As long as she didn't spill the beans. I'm sleeping." Lying down on the soft earth she wondered, what is going on at home? Will we ever get back?

A/n PiXiE here. It's 12:30am and Mo has ordered me to do this, so I shall…

First and foremost I have so say what a pleasure it is to read these reviews. Life has been very stressful at the moment and it's nice to see that this story is appreciated and enjoyed; it seems there's little time for laughter for me, personally, but I won't bore you with that suffice to say your reviews are treasured.

Faeriekittie306animelover: Thanks for the review. It's nice to see that people continually read and review. I hope that you're enjoying the story.

Jousting Elf with A Sabre: It's cute that you're counting reviews for us. It's good to see that you are enjoying the story.

Lildoe: I must say that is one of the well, biggest compliments that we have ever been given; we'll try not to get too bigheaded; Thank you.

LadyGlory: I'm truly sorry about your story. I think the people that do that are petty and immature, they truly don't deserve the right to post their own stories. When you write a story you must appreciate that it won't be to everyone's taste, and you must be willing to take constructive criticism, even if you do believe them to be flames. It you can't take criticism you can't grow as a writer; if you disagree email rather than get someone's stories taken off. Ooops, I'm ranting again, Mo will tell me off. Oh wells. What have we in store for the fellowship:grins: if I remember correctly the next ones a fun one.

Ain't-no-angels: Thank you so much.

Fae Black: I have read the silmarillion; about two years ago. It took me ages and I haven't had the time to read it again since, but I did enjoy it. Mo meanwhile is subjected to continual threats that I will buy her the book for her birthday and force her to read it; I think it's her idea of hell. This story will be continued; it is actually finished we're just being terrible lazy when it comes to getting it posted.

Sweetypie-15: Thank you. You make me laugh. Cookies are very important, I must agree. So I therefore give you some more; not that I'm bribing you or anything:winks:

Thanks for all the reviews, continue reading. This story will be posted in full even if we do seem lazy in getting it done. Your reviews do remind us to do so!
