Chapter nine
Bloody git
The events in Lammoth had spread all the way to Numenor and Mordor. The campers had been advised to stay in their dorm rooms while Manwë and the other Valar took care of a few things at the beach, which was only a short distance from the dorms. From inside Kat, Chrisy, and Tammy's room they could hear everything from the beach and so many of the campers gathered in the room to hear. At some moments there would be the sound of laughing and then a sharp yell of pain. Then there would be shouting and then another sharp yell of pain. Either way there was a sharp yell of pain after everything that happened on the beach.
"What's going on in here?" Legolas asked.
The girls turned around and saw the elf standing in the doorway. A few felt faint but none did. To them they still did not know that they really were who they said they were.
Legolas had been sent by Kisha to get everyone back into the Great Hall. Her fear was that some dorm rooms might be able to hear the events at the beach. Legolas saw that she was correct.
"Well we heard shouting and yelling at the beach," Trisha McMillan replied.
Legolas shrugged and pretended not to know what it was.
"Well come on then, the next movie will be starting soon and I know I want to see what's going to happen."
--
The interlude between the first and second movie lasted more then a half-hour. At eleven thirty The Two Towers started in the Great Hall. Everyone was present, including Morgoth and Gwen. Morgoth looked more injured then Gwen. A wound above his left eye was bleeding again Kisha tossed him the med-kit.
Gwen, on the other hand, did not look like one hundred shards of glass and twenty thumb tacks had just splattered over her face. She did have open wounds but Aragorn, being the great healer, fixed her right up. During the movie Gwen took the opportunity to plot her revenge against her roommate.
--
"It's Saruman! I know that has to be Saruman! I mean come on, white wizard?" Beren said aloud when Treebeard, in the movie, decided to take the two hobbits to the white wizard.
"No, I don't think it's him. Saruman was always too stupid to do anything right," Sauron concluded.
"Hey! I resent that!" shouted Saruman.
"Would you all shut up?" yelled a few campers.
Sauron rolled his eyes.
--
The only other times the campers had to yell 'shut up' to the staff was at the events at Helm's Deep and the events leading up to Helm's Deep. Arwen began freaking out when she saw Aragorn fall over the cliff attached to the warg, and Elrond looked smug.
"See? I told you he was unsuitable for you," he said.
"Shut up and watch the movie!" someone yelled.
At the battle of Helm's Deep, the characters from the Third Age were on the edge of their seats. Saruman and Sauron were hoping for a victory and the free people of Middle-Earth were hoping for the win on behalf of the good guys. Sauron and Saruman were crushed when the Uruk-Hai were defeated.
"See Sauron? Never trust a wizard to do your bidding. Do it yourself you lazy bum."
Sauron rolled his eyes.
"Oh shut up you bloody git."
--
With the ending of The Two Towers it was now three o'clock in the morning. The campers and staff voted to watch the last movie, even though it would be seven in the morning by the time it was said and done. This time there were no breaks between movies, as to avoid mishaps that could last over an hour, and they started The Return of the King right away. A few of the staff members who appeared tired at the beginning of the second disc of Fellowship were wide awake now. Frodo was on the edge of his seat and Sauron was silently wishing his orcs would find and capture Frodo and bring him the ring. Morgoth, who had been rolling his eyes at every scene now, was getting a bit perplexed at his protégé's actions.
"I did not teach you to trust in wizards and orcs! Bloody hell Sauron, if you wanted your ring back so much you should have gone and grabbed it yourself," Morgoth stated.
"Yeah well I was an eyeball okay? It's kind of hard to get the ring when you're a big floating eye. What did you want me to do? Float through Middle-Earth looking for a hobbit? I think they would spot me from 20 leagues away. 'Oh look! It's Sauron the floating eyeball! Everyone run and hide before he finds us!' I'm sure that's what they'd say."
"I swear to Ilúvatar, if you two don't shut up, I can't be held responsible for what I'll do to you," Manwë exclaimed.
"Fine, fine," Sauron muttered.
The movie, now on the final disc, continued onward. A few of the campers, who had already seen it, fell asleep in their spots but they were awakened when Gollum dove after the ring as it hit the lava.
"NOOOOOOOOOO! Not my ring! I was not defeated! This did not happen!" Sauron screamed as he watched his tower fall to the ground and the eyeball implode.
Morgoth chuckled.
"Well it looks like the spotlight has been extinguished," he said.
Sauron held his head in his hands and began muttering incoherent things.
Nimrodel, who had been sitting next to Gwen, elbowed her and asked, "How much longer is this movie?"
"Oh not long, I'm thinking twenty-minutes?"
--
Twenty minutes later the movie did finish but Sauron was still fuming in his chair. Kisha had excused everyone and said they could sleep all day if they wanted. It was about seven thirty in the morning by the time the campers went to their dorms to sleep.
The staff members also left the Great Hall to go to bed in Lammoth and Sauron was still muttering things when Gwen, Morgoth, and himself entered into the room to sleep.
"Would you shut up?" demanded Morgoth.
Gwen nodded.
"For once I agree with you," she said in response.
"But they destroyed me!" he protested.
Morgoth rolled his eyes.
"Okay look, you're standing in front of me yes?"
Sauron nodded.
"Then you're not destroyed!"
"But…"
"No buts! Just go to bed before I kill you!" Morgoth demanded.
Gwen rolled her eyes and climbed into bed smiling sweetly to herself. When Morgoth had been getting a talking to by the other male Valar, Gwen, after Aragorn cleaned up her face, snuck into the kitchen and grabbed a carton of dry milk and poured it all over Morgoth's bed. She had also taken some honey and ketchup. When she was sure that Morgoth was asleep, she climbed out of bed and poured the honey all over his face and hands. She then took the ketchup and squirted the bottle into his mouth and on his abdomen. Grabbing his mace, she put ketchup on that too, and then went back to bed.
If you want to play games then batter up, she though before she drifted into a very happy sleep.
--
The smell was the first thing that woke Elros up. He checked the digital clock on the dresser, Kisha had shown everyone how to read the digital clock, and saw that it was only noon. Realizing that he could not sleep anymore, he got out of bed and checked his sleeping roommates. Ar-Pharazôn and Denethor were still sound asleep.
Why did I get stuck with them? He thought.
When he opened the door the pungent odour was stronger in the hallway. A few other councillors had also been awakened by the smell and they too were just leaving their room.
"Do you know what that smell is?" Elros asked.
Eärendil shrugged and his two roommates, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, didn't know what it was either.
The four walked down the hall and Bregolas, Bifur, and Déagol joined them in the hunt for the pungent odour.
They, at last, came to room nineteen, dubbed Angband because Morgoth and Sauron resided in the room. The smell was the strongest here.
"What do you think it is?" Bregolas asked.
Elros shrugged.
"There's only one way to find out," he replied. He knocked on the door but there was no answer. They then heard very strong snoring coming from two bodies in the room.
"Maybe we should open the door," suggested Déagol.
"Is that wise? Just this morning Gwen got glass and thumb tacks in her head, and it's her room!" Goldberry exclaimed.
"Just open the door," Eärendil said.
If I get attacked by something I swear I'll pull that Silmaril off your head and give it to Fëanor," Elros replied as he opened the door.
He involuntarily shielded his face for an attack but when none came he slowly put his arms down and looked into the room. His nose twitched and the smell was stronger in here. His eyes glanced around the room. Gwen was still sleeping peacefully, though she had a nose clip on, and Sauron's head was turned the other way but they all could hear him snoring. Morgoth, on the other hand, was covered in honey and had something red on his mouth, abdomen, and mace.
"Is that blood?" Bifur asked.
"Maybe Morgoth's finally bit the big one," Eärendil said with a smile.
Elros shrugged.
"No, I don't think its blood," he replied.
Goldberry started coughing at the smell and it woke Sauron up. He turned his head and saw Bregolas, Eärendil, Déagol, Bifur, Tom Bombadil, and Goldberry standing in the doorway.
"What do you want?" he demanded as he sat up. His nose wrinkled at the pungent odour.
"What is that?" he asked at the smell.
Elros shrugged.
"We think it might be something with Morgoth," he replied.
Sauron glanced over at Morgoth and started laughing.
"Oh the bloody git finally got what's coming to him," he said.
Gwen yawned and sat up in bed. She was not expecting to see the door to the room open and see a group of staff members standing in it.
"Oh, good," she checked her watch. "Afternoon, what's going on?"
Goldberry had plugged her nose.
"You can't smell that?" she asked.
Gwen's eyes lit up and she pulled the nose plug off she took a deep nose inhale and then smiled. Jumping out of bed she exclaimed, "It worked! It worked!"
"What is going on in here?" Elrond demanded as he marched down the hallway to the crowd in front of Angband.
By now Morgoth had awakened and was looking pretty furious as to why he had ketchup in his mouth, honey all over him, and why he smelled really bad.
"Who the Valinor did this?" he bellowed.
Gwen began slinking towards the door of the room when Morgoth caught her gaze. He looked livid. He pointed a shaking sticky finger at her.
"You did! I'm going to kill you!" he screamed.
Gwen pushed her way through the crowd in front of the door and ran down the hall. Kisha had just left her room to find out what the smell was when Gwen ran past her.
"Gwen! What's going on?" Kisha shouted down the hall.
Her question was answered when a very sticky, ketchupy, and smelly Morgoth ran down the hall after her.
