Hullo! So extremely sorry for making you wait sooo very long. It's really very frustrating to me that I can't seem to write very fast. Anyway here is (Yet again) a small bit. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is how most of my future posts to this story will come. Please review, I love seeing what you guys think!
Third Person (Focusing on Lily)
Seventeen minutes earlier...
"This way! This way Missus!" Smeagol called out, hopping around excitedly like a pup that knows its master is taking it out on a walk.
"Hold on! Wait! Not so fast!" I was beginning to wish I had a leash.
""Missus wanted to see where Smeagol comes from, Smeagol goes." We were on the edge of the woods now. Briers and thorn trees dominated this section of forest. I expected him to pause before advancing into them. I expected wrong. He dove right in.
"ACCH! EEE! SSSS! Help us, Precious! Helllp us! Golluumm! Golluumm!"
"Hold on, I'm coming." I Swept away some unnecessary vegetation with my sword and followed with due caution. He wasn't hard to find. Thrashing and screaming will get the attention of almost anyone.
"Hold still! Calm down! Calm down Smeagol! Calm Down!"
"You tricksed us! The trees! The weeds! They eat us! Gollum! Gollum!"
"They're not going to eat you, calm down so I can-"
"Achh! Get away! Save us, precious, save us! Gollum! Gollum!" I whacked at some briers next to him in a last ditch effort to break through his hysterics. He gasped and looked up at me. His eyes, huge, glowing, frantic. One look and I knew I had made the wrong choice. He scrabbled up and scurried deeper into the undergrowth.
"Hey! Wait!" He was already gone. I quietly resigned myself to follow. As I pressed further into the fen, however, I began to regret that. I had to bend double and twist awkwardly to avoid death by thorn tree. Still, I was making progress.
"Get them you scum!"
Instantly I slipped to the ground as noiselessly as possible. Ow. Spikey. I waited. I heard swords clashing nearby.
"Hey, uh somebody? I kinda got a problem!"
Olivia! Where is she! It took me an agonizing minute to finally see her.
Olivia.
I stood.
That orc is going to die.
