'Thoughts and flashbacks'
" 'Enemy' "
"Language"
The elves stared in shock as Twilight stopped in front of them before Lance quickly picked up Alice and mounted the horse. "Try not to stop so much, especially when you encounter the patrol." Glorfindel yelled as Lance urged Twilight to run faster. Glorfindel, Erestor, Hérion, and the twins climbed into the trees to catch up and stopped when they found Dean, Sam, Natalie, and Skitty being stopped and questioned with arrows pointed in their faces. Glorfindel and Erestor jumped down to explain that they were in a rush to see Lady Galadriel and were allowed to continue with the Lothlorien elves behind them. Lance, on the other hand, rode by the Lorien elves completely without stopping, ignoring their shouts to stop when someone recklessly (and quite stupidly) jumped in front of Twilight, causing the horse to rear back and almost throw off his riders.
"Haldír, are you mad?!" Lance exclaimed as he calmed Twilight. "You weren't stopping. What happened?" Haldír asked as Lance dismounted and carefully took his sister into his arms, trying not to jostle her injured side too much. "Saes, Haldír, help her. We were ambushed by a band of orcs and Alice jumped in front if an attack that was about to kill me. She needs help." Lance pleaded as Haldír's eyes widened at the sight of the injury and nodded for Lance to follow him. When they arrived, Lance reluctantly handed Alice to one of the healers and watched them work from the door as if something terrible would befall his injured sister. Erestor and Glorfindel pulled him away from the door when Haldír announced Lady Galadriel wished to speak with them, saying that Alice would be alright without him for a while.
~Moria~
Gimli whispered a prayer to Balin as the Fellowship looked around the room wearily and rested. "We must move on, we cannot linger!" Legolas whispered to Aragorn as Gandalf found a book in one of the dwarf skeletons hands. Carefully taking the book, Gandalf blew away the dust and cobwebs that had accumulated on the cover for who knows how long and opened it. "They have taken the bridge...and the second hall." Gandalf started, drawing the others attention to him "We have barred the gates...but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes. Drums...drums...in the deep." Gandalf looked up and turned a bloodstained page, Pippin back away slowly holding his hat and staff. "We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out... They are coming!" As Gandalf finished reading, Pippin touched the arrow within a dwarf skeleton that was sitting precariously on the edge of a well and tipped it over.
The skeleton fell into the well with a loud bang, hitting the walls as it fell, each hit louder than the last and echoing throughout Moria. Suddenly, a chain was dragged into the well, having been attached to the skeleton, and rattled loudly down the hollow shaft, soon followed by a bucket that fell just as loudly. The whole thing fell with a last resounding bang that put the Fellowship on edge. Gandalf walked over to Pippin and angrily took his staff and hat back "Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us if your stupidity!" He said as Pippin looked down guiltily. Boom... Boom... Boom boom boom... The distinct sound of drums and screeching echoed throughout the previously silent Moria.
Sam motioned for Frodo to look at his sword when it started glowing "Orcs!" Legolas stated as Boromir ran to the door and began to close it. "Get back! Stay close to Gandalf!" Aragorn yelled as he and Legolas went to help Boromir block the door. A thunderous roar sounded from behind the door as Boromir checked to see what else was there when he turned back to the Fellowship and said with fake enthusiasm "They have a Cave Troll!" As Legolas handed Aragorn spears that were used to block the door. The three backed away, weapons drawn, to stand with the others. "Let them come! There is one dwarf yet in Moria that still draws breath!" Gimli stated with a growl as he held up his axe while standing on Balin's tomb. The doors broke open and fight began as the orcs came pouring in, Legolas starting by firing an arrow.
~Lothlorien~
The first thing Alice noticed when she woke up was the intense brightness of the light. Closing them quickly, Alice let out a small groan and turned her head to the side to avoid the sudden light as she shifted uncomfortably on the bed. 'Where am I?' She thought and sat up quickly, regretting it as the movement jostled her injured side and caused a terrible headache to appear. Alice blinked a few times time dispel the dizziness and breathed deeply for a few seconds to control her breathing at the pain. Looking around, Alice was reminded of Lothlorien before the previous days events rushed back to her and she got up from bed, carefully pulled on her boots, and left the quiet room. The hall was quiet except for the occasional bird chirping and elf walking by, fulfilling their duties for the day. Alice walked further into the Golden Wood and heard yelling coming from the stables. "Daro, Twilight!" An elf yelled with slight panic as Twilight reared back, stomping the ground and trying to escape the elves.
When Twilight threw off an elf that attempted to rude him, Alice stepped out from behind the tree she was watching from and whistled a soft time that would always alert the horse to her presence. The elves immediately stopped and quickly backed away from the still angry and panicked horse as Alice walked closer "Twilight, mellon nin, saes, daro." She called in a soft, comforting voice, stilling Twilight's frantic movements, albeit not as much as he continued to pull at his confining reigns. Alice walked up to the light gray horse, removed her arm from around her stomach, and gently petted Twilight, effectively coming him down while murmuring quietly. "Hush, mellon nin. Le tríw hi..." Alice whispered as she carefully, and as lightly as possible, removed the reigns that were shockingly tight, and quickly removed them. Twilight backed up once more as a Lothlorien guard approached to take the reigns from Alice, who glared dangerously at the ellon before turning back to her ever faithful horse. "Calm down Twilight, mellon nin, le tríw hi. Le tríw hi." She repeated softly and sighed as Twilight finally calmed down.
"Thenidiel Rosalyniel have you lost your mind?!" The unmistakable voice of Hérion yelled from the other side of the training fields, making said elleth sigh at the use of her name. Lance and the twins ran past the advisor and immediately checked her fire any more injuries before suffocating her in bone crushing hugs. 'If only I had been stronger and my spells didn't always turn into animals, Ali wouldn't have gotten hurt.' Natalie thought as she hugged her now awake friend and announced that she was leaving to visit a friend. Elladan and Elrohir explained that they too had to leave and return to Rivendell with Erestor and Glorfindel to help Lord Elrond and Arwen, leaving a few hours later until Alice, Lance, Dean, Sam, and Skitty returned to see Lady Galadriel with Haldír.
~Moria~
The Fellowship fought the enemy while trying to stay within each others sight. Gandalf knocked out an Orc with his staff and slew another with his sword, Merry and Pippin fought back to back a few feet away and were doing a good job of fighting. Boromir tried to stay as close as he could to Merry and Pippin so if they were in trouble he could get to them easily. Legolas fired arrows at the orcs and slew the ones that were closer with his dual white knives, Sam was also doing a good job of fighting the orcs, hitting them with his fillet frying pan and letting whoever passed by kill them as they fought. "Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this!" He exclaimed as he hit another Orc that was soon trampled on by its own kind.
Gimli fought with every ounce of anger he had at the orcs for killing Balin and the dwarves and continuing to reside in Moria. Aragorn tried to stay as close as he could to Frodo, turning at the sound of the doors breaking and watching as the cave troll fought his friends. "Aragorn? Aragorn!" Frodo yelled as the cave troll cornered him behind a pillar and attacked him, slowly driving him into a corner. "Frodo!"Aragorn called frantically and grabbed a nearby spear, stabbing the troll in the stomach ad trying to drive back. The troll instead grabbed the spear and threw Aragorn aside so that he hit one of the pillars and was momentarily dazed. The cave troll, now having a weapon, turned towards Frodo once more and impaled him with the spear. The Fellowship stopped fighting as they heard a groan of pain and watched in shock and fear as his eyes slipped shut.
