Chapter 9-Elve Debating

Disclaimer: I don't own LOST or LOTR

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated this in a while! Here is the next chapter.

While Jack, Sayid, and Gandalf were discussing what to do next, everyone was intermingling with each other.

Aragorn sat with Kate next to him and Sawyer next to her, and Boromir sat beside him. Gimli had felt sorry for Aragorn so he had deliberately asked Aragorn if he had talked to Kate about Arwen yet. Aragorn great appreciated it though now Kate was now sulking after he told her all about Arwen.

Sawyer was trying to figure everything out. He would have sat with Ana but Legolas was taking up all her attention. But what was funny was that Ana was trying to be nice to him and Sawyer could tell he was struggling.

"So what do you do?" Ana asked Legolas.

"What do I do? What do you mean?"

"Do you work or something?"

"Well I am a prince."

"A prince." Ana raised a eyebrow.

"Yes. What do you do?"

"I was a cop."

"A cop?"

"A police officer?" This only drew a blank look from Legolas. "I make sure people don't do bad things." She said in terms he would understand.

"Oh." Legolas said.

"We need to find Michael. There's no doubt about that." Jack said.

"Yes that is true but we can't bring these.. people with us. They have absolutely no idea of what we've been up against." Sayid said.

"I'm sure we could be of some help." Gandalf said.

"No. We don't want to involve you. Why don't we take one group and that group will take these people back to our camp and the other group will go after Michael."

Gandalf shook his head. "Do you see this staff?? I am a wizard. That could be of some use to you."

"There's no such thing as wizards." Jack muttered to himself.

"Just like there's no such thing as hobbits and elves or "Others"?" Sayid said to Jack.

Jack shook his head.

"So after I said goodbye to my brother Faramir, I journeyed far to get to Rivindell. I fought many things along the way." Boromir had been talking for the past five minutes and it was starting to get on Kate and Sawyer's nerves.

Sawyer rolled his eyes. "Look do you have anything else to talk about other than your pathetic journeys?"

"Ok then. Enlighten me. Who are you?"

"I'd rather we not talk at all." Sawyer said. He wished that the fellowship had gotten here after Boromir died. But he knew there was a problem. They had said that they had gotten out of the mines and they were heading to Lothlorian. But Gandalf should have died in Lothlorian, and he didn't. He wasn't sure of what to do or whether he should say something to them.

" So in the mines, what happened? How did you get out?" Sawyer asked Aragorn.

Aragorn looked up at him. "We were faced with a cavetroll and some orcs. Then we met a belrog." Boromir shuddered at that point.

"What's a belrog?" Kate asked.

"It's a horrifically large animal, and it is surrounded by fire." Sawyer explained.

"How did you know that?" Aragorn asked.

"Uh. Belrogs are common. You should have known that Kate jeez." Sawyer covered up.

Kate shook her head. "Uh no Sawyer."

"Well anyways, we were walking through this bridge, and then the belrog came. Gandalf insisted that we all run away while he stalled the animal but we refused to do that. Then the weirdest thing happened. The belrog looked behind him and Gandalf wasn't sure what he saw but Gandalf then stuck him multiple times with his staff. Gandalf said he had seen someone behind the belrog. It had been a weird person. But anyways, after Gandalf struck the belrog the guy smiled and waved at Gandalf and walked away. Then we left."

"What did the person look like?" Sawyer asked.

"You know what? I don't know. But you can ask Gandalf."

"Come on Charlie. What happened?" Merry asked Charlie.

"Nothing happened. You just got into some trouble that's all."

"How are we going get home Mr. Frodo?" Sam asked him. "I mean, it's ok here, but I don't want to live here forever."

"I don't know Sam. I'm sure Gandalf will figure out something." Frodo said.

"You're right. Gandalf will know,"

"Do you want to go talk to him?" Frodo asked him.

"Yes. I would very much like that."

"okay." Frodo and Sam walked over to Gandalf and waited patiently for a break in the conversation. Gandalf seemed to be a little bored by the conversation going on.

"What about the little short elves?! Jack said. "Do we believe in them too now? Soon we'll believe Santa'll come down the chimney."

"Hey! Don't burst my bubble Doc. Santa is real and we all know it." Sawyer walked by and grinned.

"What are you doing Sawyer?" Jack asked.

"Look I need to talk to you."

"Okay." Jack said and he stood up. "What?"

"Come on." Sawyer motioned.

Jack hesitated but then finally followed Sawyer to a large tree several feet away from everyone else." What's going on Sawyer?"

"Look. You're going to think I'm crazy, and maybe I am, but have you ever heard of Lord of the Rings?"

A/N: Dumb cliffhanger I know, but at least I'm updating!!!
