Chapter 13:

Be on your guard

…

After about five hours Frodo and Nividia met on the rest of their Fellowship, they rested for another half an hour before they continue to walk to the Mines of Moria. Nividia felt that Frodo kept looking at her sometimes, as if he was worried it will happen again. Nividia stopped and waited for everyone to come pass her and she walked next to Legolas who was in the back.

"Legolas?" She asked and he looked down to her. Surprised and worried that she called her Legolas and that she had that carefully tone on her voice. "Can you remind me not go in Elf form as long as I am close to Frodo? And I do not want you to ask any questions about it, and do not tell Gandalf!" She asked only to him.

"I will remind you as you ask very nicely than normally, but I will also ask, why. So why?" Legolas asked in his mind to her.

"Never mind, Greenleaf," she said and hurried over to Gimli and Gandalf who was on top of the small stone hill.

"The Walls of Moria," Gimli said stunning, as he had never been here before. The Walls of Moria went high and went around a lake. "Dwarves doors are invisible when they are closed," Gimli explained and poked the wall with his axe.

"Yes, they are," Gandalf, said. "Their own Masters cannot find them if their secrets are forgotten." Gandalf was searching the walls for the door in to Moria.

"Why doesn´t that surprise me," Legolas said. Nividia killed a laughed after getting a look from Gimli.

Gandalf stopped between two threes and looked at the wall. He mumbled few words and then looked at the moon that showed up and then light came from the wall showing a door. "It reads;" Gandalf began and pointed with his staff where he was reading. "Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria, speak friend, and enter."

"What do you suppose that means?" Merry asked.

"Oh, it is quite simple. If you´re a friend, you speak the password and the doors will open," Gandalf said and looked at the Hobbit. Seems good enough for me, Nividia thought and sat down with her back towards the lake. She looked fast over to the lake as she felt something evil there, something so familiar. Gandalf began speaking the password, but nothing happened. He then tried again, but taking both his arms up with the staff in one hand, yet nothing happened. Nividia had a feeling they would stay here for a while.

"Nothing´s happening," Pippin, point out. Gandalf said he once knew every spell on all tongues. "What are you going to do then?" Pippin asked.

"Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took!" Gandalf began shouting at Pippin. Nividia looked at Pippin as he looked down on the ground. Nividia turned around and sat down towards the lake. Watching its move. No one saw what she saw, felt what she felt.

"Gandalf, we must hurry," Nividia said to them all. Gandalf turned to her and looked at her, he did not like she said it. "I did not say anything…"

"What is it?" Aragorn whispered to her after stopping Merry and Pippin for throwing rocks in the lake. Nividia opened up to Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli and Legolas, not daring worrying the Hobbits.

"Be on your guard, I feel it in the water, something evil," she said to them. They heard that it was only certain people who could hear it.

"Mellon," Gandalf said and the doors to Moria opened. They all looked surprised as they saw Frodo had solved it. Aragorn was the last one who entered and Gimli talked about the meat, the beer that Legolas had to taste. Nividia looked around in the dark and saw the death Dwarves and few death Goblins.

"Goblins!" She called out to them all and they all looked around. Legolas picked up a Goblin arrow and pulled an arrow on his bow. Gimli cried out after seeing the dead Dwarves. Aragorn and Boromir pulled out their swords, ready for an incoming attack if it should happen. Nividia looked down under hear and saw a slimy tentacle move. She looked up not understanding where it came from, but then the thought hit her. Just as she was about to move out of it, the tentacle wrapped around her body and dragged her out of there.

"Aragorn!" Frodo screamed. Nividia turned to the Hobbit seeing he also had been taken. Frodo and Nividia got both on in the water and then up in the air. Nividia looked down seeing a creature open its mouth to eat them both.

"NOW! ENOUGH!" Nividia screamed inside its beast mind. The best let go off her and she fell on the beast. She digs her claws inside its head and it screamed. She saw Boromir carry Frodo out of the water, but Aragorn still trying to reach her. She changed to Elf and took out her sword and she stabbed the beast making it going out in the water. She turned to tiger, not daring staying to close and she jumped out in the water.

Aragorn and Nividia both ran towards the Fellowship that was inside Moria. They got in, still having the beast on their heels and the beast destroyed the door, making them trapped inside Moria.

"We have now only one choice, we must face the long, dark Moria," Gandalf said making his staff light up as he continued walked inside. "Be on your guards. There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places in the worlds." Nividia shivered when he said that and followed the Hobbits after Gandalf.
