Chapter 11

The Fellowship continued on, Karolyn drifting in and out, Frodo by her side the entire time. They stopped at their destination, the entrance to Moria.

"I'm tired." Diamond complained.

"I'm hungry." Genevieve said as her stomach agreed.

"I'm both, so shut up!" Laura shouted as everyone sat down. They made a fire and set out blankets, and put Karolyn next to the fire. Frodo immediately went to her side, Sam following, as Gandalf went to figure out the password to enter Moria. Gen and Diamond went up to follow Merry and Pippin who were standing by the lake.

"Mr. Frodo, she'll be alright." Sam reassured a very concerned Frodo.

"I know, Sam." he replied hopefully.

"You both worry too much." Laura suddenly said, sitting across the fire from them.

"Worry too much?" Frodo asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yes, both of you! I see it in your eyes. You worry about Karolyn's health; actually, everyone's health, mostly Karolyn... but you get my point! And Sam, you worry too much about Frodo, and Bill!" Laura said pointing to him.

"Oi! It's my job to worry about Mr. Frodo 'ere, and Bill is very important! Keeping him healthy is important! So worrying is okay!" Sam replied proudly, patting Frodo's back. Frodo gave him a grin and laughed.

"But, worrying about a friend is okay, like Sam here said. So it's okay to worry about Karolyn." Frodo said, looking back to her. She looked restless, actually, he thought she had just opened her eyes and closed them. He reached down and tapped her forehead.

"Karolyn?" he asked. Suddenly, she groaned and opened her eyes.

"Frodo? Where is everyone else?" she asked suddenly. Frodo smiled and began to laugh, "She's awake!" he called to all her friends.

"Karolyn! Oh my god you asshole I thought you were dead! Don't scare me like that!" Diamond said pulling her into a hug. Merry and Pippin turned around to watch as all the girls cried tears of happiness. Legolas, Aragorn, and Gandalf all were laughing and smiling while Boromir and Gimli clapped.

"I knew you weren't dead!" Gen exclaimed helping Karolyn slowly sit up.

"Yes you did! You kept saying, 'Guys she's dead I swear it! Oh my god she's dead!' and freaked out!" Diamond said accusingly.

"Diamond, you're an idiot that was not me!" Gen said as they began to fight.

"Karolyn, dear, were just glad you're okay." Laura said helping her now stand up. Sam hugged her and Frodo smiled, now making his way to Gandalf.

"So... where are we?" Karolyn now asked.

"The entrance to the Mines of Moria Miss Hadley." Sam told her as Laura sat with them by the fire.

"Sounds familiar. Gimli was talking about it... The last thing I remember was snow..." Karolyn said rubbing her head.

"Not surprised. You and Frodo were buried underneath the big snow collapse, and you couldn't breathe." Laura said now letting Karolyn stand on her own.

"I seriously forgot how short I was and how tall you were!" Karolyn said staring up at her elf friend. Now Aragorn came up behind them.

"It's good to see your awake Karolyn. Sam, I need to talk to you about Bill." Aragorn said patting Karolyn on the back and pulling Sam away.

"Hmm, wonder what they're gonna do about Bill..." Karolyn said.

"Karolyn," Laura began as they watched Aragorn set Bill free and Sam watched with tears in his eyes.

"What?" Karolyn asked spinning around.

"Frodo NEVER left your side, I swear to god!" Laura said winking at her. Karolyn waved her off and Sam sulked back to her side, and began to cry into her shoulder. She tried to comfort him by awkwardly patting his back. Then, Merry, Pippin, Genevieve, and Diamond began to throw rocks into the small pond in front of them. Aragorn instantly flew to their sides and held their hands back before they threw in another rock.

"Do not disturb the water." he said darkly, and scanned to water. The ripples from the rocks seemed to continue on... Karolyn turned around and Sam looked up from her shoulder. Frodo was in deep thought, she could tell. But his big, blue, sparkling eyes were wide and bright in the moonlight. Sam had informed her that Gandalf was trying to figure out the password to open the doors of Moria for the past hour.

"Try, 'Open sesame!' Gandalf!" Diamond yelled from behind Karolyn. Gandalf eyes her suspiciously and waved her off.

"Worth a try." Diamond said as Karolyn turned to face her.

"Open sesame!" they heard Gandalf try hopelessly. The two girls began to laugh hysterically as Sam shook his head.

"It's a riddle!" everyone heard Frodo exclaim. Gandalf looked to him as everyone now gathered around him to watch.

"Speak friend and enter! What's the elvish word for friend?" Frodo asked suddenly.

Gandalf considered this, "Mellon." he muttered. The doors swung outwards to reveal a deep blackness.

"Frodo you did it!" Laura exclaimed patting him on the shoulder. He smiled and looked back at Karolyn. She was absolutely beautiful, but he couldn't fall in love with her. That was his only secret.

We all cheered as Frodo figured out how to get into the mines. I looked at him, to find him staring at me! We both awkwardly smiled at each other as we made our way on. The entrance was dark, and really scary! I huddled with the girls and the other hobbits came next to us.

"So, master elf, you will soon enjoy the fabled hospitality of the dwarves! Roaring fires, malt beer, red meat ripe off the bone! This, my friend, is the home of my cousin, Balin. And they call it a mine! A mine!" Gimli said to Legolas, barking with laughter. We soon became more comfortable in the darkness, and weren't huddled so close together anymore. Frodo was beside me, I could tell it was him because of the way he breathed, slow and panicked at the same time. Suddenly, I kicked something really hard on the ground.

"Does anyone have some sort of light?" I complained loudly.

"I can't see any frikkin' thing!" Diamond yelled. Gandalf now lit his staff, revealing to us skulls and bones covering the ground. Everyone let out a scream and Frodo gasped.

"Shut it off!" I yelled covering my eyes, the skulls were really scary.

"This is no mine, it is a tomb!" Boromir yelled disgusted. Gimli let out a sob and scream. Suddenly, something really slimy traveled across my leg, something REALLY slimy. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Frodo, who was wide eyed in fear with Sam behind him.

"Frodo?..." I began to ask.

"Yes?" he asked in horror.

"Did you feel-" but I was cut off when he was pulled back. My reflexes were fast and I grabbed onto his arms, which pulled me down with him. I was dragged only a few feet before my chin was cut on a rock and I let go.

"Someone help! FRODO!" I screamed as Aragorn whipped around. Legolas and Gimli sprinted out and began to fight off the big octopus I now saw. Laura ran to me and picked me up, I screamed and we all ran to Gandalf.

"ARAGORN!" I could hear Frodo crying out. Merry and Pippin waited at the entrance and Sam was being held back by them. I watched helplessly as Frodo was swung around, falling then being picked back up again. With one hack, Boromir sliced the arm holding Frodo and caught him.

"RUN!" us girls shouted with Gandalf. Everyone ran back in and the octopus followed behind. With one last attempt to climb in, the octopus pulled rocks forward, and trapped us in with no way out. It went silent, except for panting and my wincing. Blood filled my mouth and it was pitch black.

"We now have but one choice," Gandalf muttered as his staff lit up, now I could see everyone, "We must face the long dark of Moria, be on your guard! There are older and fouled things than orcs in the deep places of the world." he said as we began to march forward. I saw Gen huddle next Merry, and Diamond next to Pippin! Laura walked next to Boromir with me in her arms still, blood was dried on my lips and chin. Frodo was walking silently up ahead.

"Quietly now, it's a four day journey to the other side. Let us hope that our presence will go unnoticed." Gandalf reminded us.

"Hope..." I muttered as I fell into a deep dream...
