Stalking the Fellowship
Chapter Thirty Two: Blankets
"You still pissed?" asked Mo sweetly.
"I'm not pissed, I'm frightened, but my so called friends continue to rub it in!" retorted Maddy.
"If you're scared now you'll be shitting yourself in a minute," added Fran as they reached the valleys entrance.
The deep dark crack in the stone dared passers by to enter, teasing them with the threat of ultimate doom.
The whole group could feel the tension and nerves buzzing between each of them.
It was almost time.
"If you look at it upside down it's not that scary," Fran said, severely tilting her head to the side.
Mo and Fran caught Fran's dazed look and laughed to each other. "She's worse than Pippin," Legolas told them from behind.
Aragorn dismounted his stallion and went to the edge of the caverns darkness. "The time has come," he announced. "Come, but do not fear. We shall not be trailed or tormented yet; there will be an end to this obstacle, just as there will be an end to this war. We must stay strong!"
"Or we must pee in our pants cos I am shit scared of going in there," Fran giggled with the girls.
The company dismounted their steeds and cautiously tailed Aragorn into the cavern.
"What was that?" Maddy nervously clenched her fists in defence.
"What was what?" Mo puzzled.
"That sound." Maddy gritted.
"Of? That sound of…?" probed Mo.
"The sound of something not human lurking in the darkness."
"So Legolas, an elf, has got you freaking out?"
"No, not Legolas!"
"You called?" Legolas asked behind Mo, making both girls jump.
"You fool. You're a prince, did you not go to 'bring a polite prince' classes?" Spat Mo.
"You called my name, did you not?"
"No, I did not. Madeleine did, you spastic. And don't sneak up on two defenceless young maidens in the scary cave, please. Because next time I'll hurt you!"
"My apologies, Lady Mo. It will not happen again," and Legolas disappeared back into the gloom.
"Where were we Mads?" Mo continued.
"Don't worry now. I'm more afraid of you than whatever's in here."
.-.-.-.
"Stop sneaking up on me, dammit!" Mo's eyes blazed, "stop talking, sneaking and touching me! I do not like it, nor do I like you! So Elladan son of Elrond and…" Mo fished for the word.
"Celebrian." Maddy squeaked from under her blanket.
"Exactly! Stay away from me and my friends."
"But-" Pleaded the woe-begotten elf.
"I think you should go now." Said Fran, biting her hand to hold back her laughter.
"Yes Elladan." Said Elrohir grinning, "We should go."
Two elves left and another appeared.
"Why are you hiding under a blanket?" Legolas questioned, tapping Maddy on the shoulder, who promptly screamed.
"You said it. Hiding!"
"From what?" he asked pulling the blanket up.
"Evil things…like ghosts." Maddy pulled down the blanket.
"Ghosts? They are dead; they cannot harm you."
"Ignore her. She's been scared of them for years." Intervened Fran.
"Scared of her own shadow if you ask me." Mumbled Mo.
"Anyway, just leave her alone to walk, with blanket over her head, leading a horse. We'll make sure she doesn't walk into anything." This sentence was punctuated with an "oof" as Maddy walked into a man in front, who dropped his sword.
The metal clanged on the floor causing Maddy to scream loudly, at a high pitch. The three elves promptly covered their ears wincing.
"I believe you," Legolas grimaced before walking away hurriedly.
"That was funny," said Fran.
"What was that noise?" Maddy asked, "is there a battle?" The blanket moved as if she were turning her head.
"No, that was you scaring a man and killing the elves ears." Said Fran.
"Which is a great idea, especially with the echo. We should of thought of that ages ago!"
"Only you, Mo, only you."
"I killed some elves? Are they okay?" Maddy asked, stopping herself from tripping over.
"Why don't you just take that stupid blanket off and stop yourself from breaking your neck?" Fran questioned.
"Because…"
"Whose blanket is that, anyway?"
A mumble.
"What?"
"Legolas'"
"He gave you his blanket?"
"Yes, I told him I was cold. I smells of him too!" a loud sigh was heard.
A/n I do wonder why I allow myself to be portrayed in such a way…then I realise that I did in fact write this chapter so it's my own fault! Onto reviews!
LadyGlory: You have succeeded in your mission of scaring both Mo and myself, we do in fact worry for your insanity.
Fae Black: We like laid back, especially me. I hate writing battle scenes, much to busy for my simple mind.
