Lithoniel: Hey I'm back with chappie number 4! Don't mind me I'm hyper 'cause the Canadian curling team one gold! GO GUSHE GO! NEWFIES ROCK! Ahem, anyway I just wanted to ask if anyone would like a little romance in this story and what pairings would you like? If they're good to me I'll make it so. Enjoy the chapter folks. Oh btw I just wanted you guys to know that in this story my friends and I are about the same age as Legolas, we got older when we were transported to ME.

We were all standing at the entrance of Rivendell and Elrond was bidding us farewell.

"The ring-bearer is setting out on the quest of Mount Doom." He said, "on you who travel, no oath or bond is laid to go further then you will."

"Farewell. And hold true to your purpose and may the blessing of elves, men and all free folk go with you."

We all bowed our heads with our hands on our hearts, I had finally taught my friends how to act a little more elf like, but there were some things we needed to work on let's just say.

"The Fellowship awaits the ring bearer." Gandalf said. Frodo walked forward and out onto the path and I heard him whisper to Gandalf

"Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?"

"Left"

I looked at my friends who were doing there very best to suppress a stream of giggles, and I couldn't help, but smile. We were on our way to Mordor, I knew it was going to be very dangerous and I didn't even know if my friends and I were going to survive, but I sure as hell wasn't going down without a fight. I looked at Boromir 'Maybe we could save him?' I thought, he really wasn't all that bad it was all the ring and his father's fault he wanted it. All day we walked until we paused to take a rest on a hill side. My friends, Boromir and the hobbits were practicing sword fighting, Boromir was fighting Pippen and Merry was fighting Nostariel, then my friends turned and fought eachother, they were actually very good and it was very cool to watch.

"Move your feet!" Aragorn encouraged Pippin. Boromir moved on to Merry and then he said faster. I looked over and saw Gimli and Gandalf talking about the mines when a heard a little cry of pain. Boromir had nicked Pippins hand and was apologizing. Pippin then kicked Boromir in the shin and the hobbits and my friends all pile up on him and they go down in a mock battle!

"For the Shire!" they cried laughing and Boromir and Aragorn laughed to, this was one of my fave parts in the movie. Then I decided to intervene as did Aragorn and the next thing I knew the hobbits had flipped us onto our backs and we joined and in the fun and laughter.

"What's that?" Sam asked noticing a dark spot in the sky.

"Nothing it's just a whiff of cloud!" Gimli assured. By this time we had all stood up from our mock battle and looked at the sky.

"It's moving fast and against the wind!" Boromir said.

"Crebain from Dunland!" Legolas cried.

"Hide!" Aragorn yelled. We all took cover behind rocks and under bushes. The black birds circled around for a bit then headed back South. We slowly crawled out from our hiding spots.

"Spies of Sauruman! The passage South is being watched. We must take the Pass of Caradhras." Gandalf said darkly. We climbed the snowy sides of the mountain and I tell you I have never been so cold! It looked like we were getting near the top and we walked in the blinding white snow under a beautiful blue sky. All of a sudden Frodo lost his footing and tumbled down the slope. I caught him and helped him up. Frodo felt for the ring , but found it was missing. Boromir found it in the snow and picked it up. The whole company stopped and went silent.

"Boromir." I whispered softly.

"It is a strange fate, that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing." He said reaching out for it. I placed my hand on my sword hilt and tightened my grip.

"Boromir!" Aragorn said loudly and Boromir looked up snapped out of his trance.

"Give the ring to Frodo." Aragorn ordered.

"As you wish," Boromir said handing the ring to Frodo, "I care not." And he ruffled his Frodo's hair. I breathed a sigh of relief and let go of my sword.

A few hours later

We were struggling through the storm, it was blinding. Everyone was struggling except Legolas, my friends and I because we were elves, our steps were light and we moved with ease across the top of the snow while everyone else was chest deep. All of a sudden Nostariel and I stopped and listen, Legolas stopped as well, and I could hear a man speaking on the wind.

"There is a fell voice on the air." Legolas said.

"It's Sauruman!" I shouted. Then lightning struck the cliff above us and boulders came tumbling down. Galadwen threw herself against the rock face. But Nostariel and I had sunk into the snow and Legolas pulled us aside just in the nick of time.

"Hannon le!" we whispered out of breath from the shock. He nodded giving usa brief smile that for some reason made Alecia blush, okay Aragorn was my favorite character, but after this I think I was leaning towards Legolas a bit more.

"He's trying to bring down the mountain!" Aragorn yelled, "Gandalf we must turn back!"

"No!" he replied standing up and chanting a counter spell trying to calm the mountains rage.

"Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho i 'ruith!" he shouted, but it had little effect. Saruman's voice drowned him out and another lightning fork struck the mountain, this time causing an avalanche. All I heard was a roaring and then the world turned from white to black. I awoke under the snow and I couldn't breathe and panicked gripped me and I struggled about until my head burst through the snow and I gulped down air gratefully.

"Are you all right?" Gandalf asked just emerging from a snowbank.

"Yes where are the others?" as I spoke my two friends heads popped out of the snow on either side of me, "oh, never mind then." I said hauling them out of the snow then we went and helped the others.

"Gandalf we cannot stay here!" Nostariel shouted.

"We must get off the mountain!" Boromir shouted "make for the gap of Rohan, and take the West road to my city!"

"No the Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard." Aragorn yelled over the noise of the storm.

"If we cannot pass over the mountain, then let us go under it, let us pass through the Mines of Moria!" Gimli said.

"Let the ring bearer decide!" Gandalf said.

"We cannot stay here! This will be the death of the hobbits!" Boromir said desperately.

"Frodo?" Gandalf said again. I wanted to scream no, but I knew if we changed the plot the movie might end differently, besides the hobbits probably would die.

"We will go through the mines." Frodo said.

"So be it."

After we finally got off the mountain I noticed the land getting grayer and dimmer.

"We're getting close to Moria." I whispered to my friends.

"I think we figured that out." Galadwen said with all the sarcasm she could muster. I was about to reply when I felt the power of the ring grow.

"Whoa, what was that?" gasped Nostariel.

"It's the ring it's power is growing and since we're elves we can sense it." I answered. All of a sudden Gimli gasped.

"The walls of Moria!" he breathed in wonder and I did too. The cliff faces were massive, even bigger then I thought they'd be.

"Wow." I said simply. We started feeling along the wall looking for the doorway, but with no luck.

"Dwarf door are invisible when closed." Gimli stated matter-of-factly, as he tapped his axe against the wall.

"Yes Gimli, their masters cannot find them if their secrets are forgotten." Gandalf replied.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Legolas said with sarcasm and my friends and I nearly burst out laughing. Gimli grumbles and looks darkly at the elves, but says nothing. We watched in silence as Gandalf felt along the wall, then when the moon came out the silvery lines appeared and we all gasped. Gandalf told us what the words meant, but my attention drifted towards the lake. I could feel it was evil and I wanted to get away from it at soon as possible because I knew a foul beast lurked within the waters.

"What are you going to do now?" I heard Pippin say.

"Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them and I am allowed a little peace for foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words!" Gandalf said getting rather frustrated.

"Wait, it's a riddle!" Frodo said, "What's the elvish word for friend?"

"Mellon!" I said stealing Gandalf's line. Al of a sudden there was a loud cracking noise as the doors swung forward and I grinned in delight as we walked through.

"Soon Master elves you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves! Roaring fires, Malt beer, ripe meat off the bone. This, my friends, is the home of my cousin Balin." Gimli said, but we weren't really listening for Gandalf had lit the way and we sensed something was wrong. All around us we could see dark forms limp and unmoving.

"And they call it a mine! A mine!" Gimli continued.

"This is no mine! It's a tomb!" Boromir cried. Gandalf's light now reveals that the dark forms were broken, rotted corpses if dwarves! Dozens of them. Behind me I hear Gimli give a strangled cry and I felt instantly sorry for him. Legolas walked up to one of the corpses and inspected an arrow.

"Goblins!" he cries with disgust.

"We make for the gap of Rohan!" Boromir said. I shuddered for I felt the evil growing.

"Now get out of here get out!"

All of a sudden Frodo yelled out for a long slimy tentacle had grabbed him and was dragging him into the dark waters!

"Frodo!" I cried in dismay along with the hobbits.

"Strider!" Sam yelled as he hacked the tentacle off with his sword and for a second the waters were still, then many tentacles came flying out knocking us out of the way and grabbing Frodo swinging him into the are. Boromir and Aragorn rushed into the water and sliced the tentacles off as a giant head of some ancient beast broke the surface.

"Legolas!" Boromir cried, "Into it's eye!"

But the creature had knocked Legolas's bow from his hands so Nostariel dove and grabbed the bow quickly loosing off in arrow into the great beasts eye with precise aim only an elf could posses.

"Into the cave!" I yelled. We all ran into the cave as the creature shattered the doors and caused the entrance to cave in plunging us into complete darkness until Gandlaf lit his staff again.

"We now have, but one choice, we must face the long dark of Moria." Gandalf said grimly, "be on your guard, there are older and fouler things then orcs in the deep places of the world. Quietly now, it's a 4 day journey to the other side. Let us hope our presence ,may go unnoticed."

We started to walk forward and I saw a blushing Nostariel give Legolas back his bow, he smiled and thanked her. Once he had gone I walked over to talk to her.

"What did he say?" I asked eagerly.

"He said I was an amazing shot and thanked me for returning his bow." She replied still blushing.

"Oh you so like him."

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Okay maybe I do, but come on he's a hottie!"

"Ya I know!" I giggled.

"No Way! He's mine!"

"Okay Okay!" I smiled holding my hands up in peace.

"Come on you two keep up!" Galadwen yelled and we realized we had fallen behind.

"Okay!" we called then we both muttered under our breaths, "Spoil Sport!"

Lithoniel: so what do you think? First little hints of romance and I tried a little humor I don't want it to be to depressing! By the way this fic is only rated T for violence because I'm pretty graphic when it comes to battle scenes. Anyway don't forget to R&R the more I get the faster I update.
