Disclaimer: Don't own LOTR, as you all know.
I know this is a super fast update but I wanted to get done with Fellowship. In case anyone is wondering im doing this all in movie-verse.
Scruggs108: That was my fastest review ever, I think you win a prize. I hope you're happy with the Boromir part in this.
Aragorn wouldn't talk to her. She had tried numerous times, but he was just dead silent. They finally stopped on the river bank and the men were arguing over where to go, so Missy went to go practice her throwing. She spent ten minutes heaving the stars at a tree and sadly only one stuck. She picked it up her fallen stars and sighed.
"Legolas was right, I'm pathetic." She mumbled and then glanced back at the others who were resting. She wanted to talk to Aragorn, he was the equivalent to a best friend. She moved over to him and sat down beside him.
"You still mad?" He didn't answer, just closed his eyes and leaned his head back. She growled and then pulled out one of her stars.
"If you don't speak to me I'm going to cut myself with this ninja star." He didn't move, even though he was curious as to what a ninja was. She brought the star closer to her palm,
"Alright I'm gonna do it!" Still nothing.
"I'm serious. In about two seconds ill be blee- OW!" She hadn't realized she had actually been that close to her hand. She dropped the star instantly and cradled her hand that now had a tiny gash.
"That was sharp." She growled and Aragorn grabbed he hand.
"Of course it is sharp. That is the point." He paused for a moment and then smiled and she looked at him surprised.
"Did you just make a joke?" He poured some water on her hand and then wrapped a thin strip of cloth around it.
"Aragorn please don't be mad at me. I had to come. I have to find my inner strength thingy and then get what's her face to send me home." He was mad though. She had gone against everything he had told her, he had been trying to protect her the entire time and it was as if none of that mattered.
"You're like my best friend out here… and you being mad at me sucks." He patted her bandaged hand and opened his mouth to speak when Sam's voice cut through the air.
'Frodo!" They both looked over to see the hobbit was gone and so was Boromir. Aragorn grabbed his sword and ran off into the woods. Missy looked over at Legolas and Gimli confused.
"If Boromir is with him then I'm sure he is safe right?" She asked and they all looked at each other before Legolas and Gimli bolted into the woods as well.
"Stay with the hobbits!" Legolas demanded. Missy moved over to Merry and Pippin and picked up her staff.
"Hey boys, how good are you with those daggers?" Pippin shrugged and noticed Merry was very on edge. Something was dangerously wrong out there with Frodo and the ring.
"We have to find Frodo." Merry said and began running, Pippin right on his tail.
"Wait for me!" Missy screamed and ran head long into the forest. Legolas had said stay with the hobbits and that was exactly what she planned to do. ~ * ~
They were hiding as the Uruk-hai ran past them on a higher part of the hill. Missy saw Frodo hiding and smacked Merry on the arm.
"Frodo! Hide here!" Pippin said and the three watched as Frodo shook his head. He was leaving them, finishing the quest alone. Pippin was not having it though and sprung out of his spot, taking a few steps towards Frodo before turning and seeing that the Uruk had seen him. Merry had bound out after him and Missy had jumped up too.
"Hey! Over here!" Pippin and Merry began waving their arms and sure enough they were suddenly being pursued. The three took off down the hill, successfully leading the Uruk- hai away from the Frodo.
"Hey boys? Was there a part two of your brilliant plan?" Missy asked while running a few feet ahead of them. She got no response and glanced back to make sure they were still there. Once she turned back around her heart dropped, more of those things were coming at them from the front. She stopped and felt both hobbits running into her legs. She held her staff in front of her, but her hands were trembling so badly she felt it would shake right from her grasp. Out of nowhere Boromir jumped in front of them, his sword clashing with the first Uruk. Merry and Pippin stabbed at two that came from the sides and Missy blocked a blow and then clubbed the uruk over the head. Boromir blew his horn and then flipped an Uruk over his back and stabbed it in the chest.
"Get back! Run!" He called and the three more defenseless creatures backed up swiftly, watching the brave man fight for them. Missy felt a little brave and kept in front of Merry and Pippin but she was not nearly brave enough to fight along side the Gondorian solider. Suddenly an arrow struck Boromir in his left shoulder, and it was that simple action that made everything go in slow motion. He hit his knees and Missy took a step forward, wanting to save him but also watching the next wave of Uruk coming towards them. Boromir got to his feet and continued to fight, and for a moment she was sure that she had thought too much of the wound. Then she saw Lurtz string another arrow.
"Boromir watch out!" She cried and though she moved towards him she was not faster than the arrow that struck his stomach. He again fell to his knees and looked up at Merry and Pippin. The two hobbits were in shock as they realized their friend was dying. Missy knelt in front of him and called his name, but his eyes locked with hers only for a moment before he screamed and turned to fight again. She looked to Merry and Pippin who were misty eyed, the rocks they had been throwing at the Uruks were forgotten in their hands. She cringed when she heard the whistling again and Boromir hit his knees for a third time.
"Boromir." She felt the tears running down her cheeks as she wrapped an arm around him, not caring if there was a fight going on. The hobbits let out a cry and plunged headlong into battle past them.
"Boromir can you hear me?" She asked and he looked at her finally. Boromir had always been kind to her. He had told her stories of Gondor while Aragorn had made that paste stuff for her bruise. He had promised to take her to Minas Tirith someday so she could see the white tree. He was a good man, and one that loved his home as much as she did.
"Run." It came out as a whisper but instead of running she stood in front of him with her staff at the ready. She was searching for inner strength and it was starting right then. She jabbed and swung and blocked but suddenly one of the Uruk- hai grabbed her around the waist. She screamed and tried to hit him but a second one ran over to her and ripped the staff from her hand while the first picked her up and continued running.
"Boromir!" She screamed but he could barley hear her over the sound of blood rushing in his ears. He was about to die, Lurtz had an arrow pointed at his face. He was staring into the eyes of death and then Aragorn came flying at Lurtz from the side. He fought like the ranger he was and in the end took Lurtz's head right off. When he returned he found Boromir on the ground.
"They took the little ones and Artemis!" He said as he shook. Aragorn told him to be still as he contemplated pulling out the arrows.
"What of Frodo?" Aragorn looked sadly into his eyes and let him know that he had let Frodo go.
"Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the ring from him." Aragorn could feel his guilt and wished he had some words of comfort to offer the dying man. He simply told him that the ring was beyond their reach.
"I have failed you all." Aragorn could not stop the tears tat filled his eyes. Boromir had fought bravely for them, he had kept the honor which he feared he had lost.
His fear now was that there would be no one to defend his home and his people would die.
"I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, or our people fail." Aragorn promised and Boromir grabbed his wrist tightly.
"Our people." He reached out and Aragorn placed his sword in his hand. He held the hilt against his heart and tried to take a breath even though it hurt.
"I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king." With those words Boromir took his last breath and was gone from them forever. Together they place the son of Gondor in a boat and sent him over the falls.
"Hurry, Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore." Legolas said but when he looked back Aragorn had made no move to follow. He was adjusting Boromir's gauntlets and looking anywhere but at his remaining companions.
"Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands." Gimli walked towards them solemnly.
"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed." Aragorn stood and placed a hand on both their shoulders.
"Not if we remain true to each other. We will not abandon Merry, Pippin, and Artemis to torment and death, not while we have strength left." He turned back to their things and told them to leave all that could be spared. Legolas moved to Missy's tiny bag of things and pulled out her ipod and earbuds.
"It is all she has left from her homeland." He explained when Aragorn looked at him quizzically. He knew the elf felt he needed to be redeemed for hurting her back in Lothlorien.
"Let's hunt some orc."
