Stalking the Fellowship
Chapter twenty nine: Riders from the North
The three awoke to a startled cry.
"What is it?" Fran whispered sleepily.
"Pippin. He looked into the palan...palan..." Maddy yawned, "Palantir we can go back to sleep, he just goes off with Gandalf."
"Don't you want to say goodbye or anything?" Mo asked.
"I said goodbye last night. That is enough."
Maddy curled back into a ball.
"What happens after that?"
"We..."Maddy started to drift off.
"MADDY!" Mo shouted.
"What?" Maddy asked irritated.
"What happens next?"
"Oh we leave because a Nazgul comes."
"Oh right," Said Fran not really listening.
"A Nazgul?" Mo questioned, frowning.
"That's what she said."
"Shouldn't we be packing and readying our horses? So that we can leave quickly?"
"I'm sleeping. I was having a good dream! I was at school and we were at lunch being normal!"
"Get up!" Mo ordered.
"Why?"
"I said get up!" She made to kick them.
"We're up! We're up!" Maddy mumbled climbing out of her warm bedroll. They started to get ready.
"We better saddle the horses I suppose."
"Where are you intending on going?" Asked Legolas from behind.
"Well Pippin just looked into the Palantir, and Sauron saw him, so he knows where we are so we figured we were leaving soon," Fran ventured.
"Oh right," He started to walk away. "How could you hear?"
He had stopped.
"Mo's super elven hearing," Maddy remarked grinning.
Fran chortled while Legolas smiled hesitantly before leaving into the night.
"Right the horse's..."Maddy sighed her gaze still in the same place.
"I guess she's back to her usual obsession," Mo laughed.
"Oh shut up!"
"It's true!"
"So?"
Suddenly a call came across the clearing, "Wake up!"
The Rohirrim started to stir, the girls already readying their horses.
"I guess it's endless riding again." Fran said glumly already rubbing her arse.
.-.-.-.
"I see dead people," Hissed Mo into Maddy's ear.
"Yeah, I suppose these people are as good as dead."
"No," Mo sighed looking around, "Look! Dead people!"
"Yes Mo, of course."
"No over there!" Mo pointed yonder.(inside joke)
The girls followed her gaze, "You know we shouldn't be able to see that." Maddy frowned thoughtfully.
"What is that?" Said Fran "You have to be specific."
"Oh that's Elladan, Elrohir and the Northern rangers."
"Who?" Fran asked.
"The twins of Elrond."
"Again I say. Who?"
"Mo, you know what I'm talking about, don't you?"
"Not the foggiest."
"They are Arwen's older brothers by about 400 years or something. I didn't really try to learn it of by heart."
"Of course you didn't," Said Fran unbelievingly.
"So what can you tell us about them?"
That was when they arrived, making a huge kafuffle.
.-.-.-.
An hour had passed and the group had easily settled with the extra thirty or so men being brought into the group, far too quickly for Mo's liking.
"Hello," Said an unfamiliar voice.
Mo turned to see and elf atop a brown horse long brown hair was tied back in an Elven style, His glittering brown eyes a mixture of excitement, mischief and sorrow.
"Goodbye," She snapped before riding forward.
The elf looked after her in shock, "You're better of ignoring her. She's been somewhat cranky since they tried to execute her."
"Execute?" He questioned.
"A long story," Answered Fran.
"I'm immortal I've got all the time in the world."
Maddy suddenly started singing, "Perfect by nature, objects of self indulgence...Never was and Never will be dum dee dum dum... No wait wrong song... Damn it! I need my Evanescence album! Now how does it go? These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there's just to much that time cannot erase. When you'd..." She carried on singing.
"Erm, why is she singing?"
"That's and age old question, she's always singing. Mads what are you singing?"
"I dunno." You could tell that she was lying.
"What are you singing?"
"I'll sign it to you." She did so.
"M.y...i.m... Oh I get it but why such a depressing song?"
"He said the word!" Maddy exclaimed as if it answered all questions.
Mo back again. I'm ever so lazy, but well sigh here begins my torturing days with Elladan. Maddy just wants to continously pester me forever I swear, anyway we've been doing exams lately and untill they are all over in a few weeks time, updates shall be scarce very sorry. But well now to reviews.
