Aragorn's little sister

Chapter 5- Start of the Journey

The next morning dawned and the whole Fellowship was packed and ready. She waited down in the courtyard before remembering something. "I'll be back in a moment." she said and ran off. 

She went down some steps before slowing down near a grave with a statue. She kneeled down in front of it, placing some flowers down before standing back up and put her hand on her heart, bowing her head. 

"I'll make you proud mother, I promise." she whispered before hearing the distant crunch of footsteps. Lord Elrond walked past her, giving her a small nod as Aragorn stopped beside her. He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned her head on his arm. 

"I don't blame you about our mother's death." he whispered. "Why not? It's my fault she died giving birth to me." she replied. He opened his mouth to reply, but she grabbed his hand leading them to where the fellowship was.

Arwen approached her, hugging her gently with tears in her eyes. Diana caught sight of Arwen's Evenstar necklace hanging around his neck. "I'll keep him out of trouble for you." she whispered.

Arwen let go and stepped beside her father. "The ring bearer is setting out for his quest to Mount Doom and you who travel with him, no oath nor bond is laid, to go further then you will. Farewell and hold to your purpose. May the blessings of elves and men and all free folk go with you." Lord Elrond said.

Legolas, Diana, and Aragorn all bowed their heads, their hands upon their hearts. "The Fellowship awaits the ring bearer." Gandalf states. Frodo turns around and leads us out of Rivendell. 

Aragorn stops and turns around staring at Arwen before joining us and we start our adventure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good, very good." Boromir was telling Merry and Pippin as they were taking sword lessons from him. The days were melding together since they left Rivendell. Diana sat on a rock next to Aragorn, her head on his shoulder. From some distance away she could smell Sam's cooking, and Legolas was standing on a rock looking out into the distance.

"Move your feet," Aragorn called out. 

Gimli was trying to get Gandalf to go through the Mines of Moria. She shuddered when she thought of passing undergrounds. Ever since she got trapped in a cave for several days she didn't like it. 

She saw Boromir accidentally cut Pippins hand. His apology was ignored and the two hobbits launched themselves at Boromir in revenge. Diana and Aragorn laughed quietly at the scene, before Aragorn got up to help Boromir.

"Ari no!" she laughed. As he was trying to pull the two hobbits off of Boromir he was dragged to the ground as well. Her sugary sweet, musical laugh made everyone's heart swell as she looked up her eyes glowing in the sunlight.

"What is that?" Boromir asks looking up at the sky and everyone calmed down. "Nothing it's just a wisp of clowd." Gimli said.

"Crebain from Dunland!" Legolas exclaimed. "Hide!" both Aragorn and Diana yelled. Movement filled the camp as they rushed to make it seem like they weren't there.

Arms curled around her waist, pulling her into a unfamiliar chest, rolling them both into some bracken. She didn't dare move as she looked up at the creatures swarming around the camp. Leaving after a few minutes of tension.

"Spies of Saruman." Gandalf spat as the Fellowship came out from their hiding spots. 

"My apologies. I was panicked." Boromir's voice whispered in her ear. His arms still wrapped around her waist.

"It's alright. Thank you for keeping me hidden." the girl replied, looking down, her hair covering her face. She untangled herself from the mans arms and went to comfort the hobbits who were shaking in fear.

"We must take the path of Caradhras." Gandalf stated as he looked up at the snow covered mountain. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun shone brightly, the air cold and crisp. Diana bent down and picked up some snow turning it into a snowball. Merry and Pippin looked at her in confusion, but she put her finger on her lips before throwing it at the back of a certain blonde haired elf. 

He looked around in confusion and his eyes landed on the two hobbits, who were laughing to themselves. Legolas shook his head, chuckling to himself. 

Legolas left no footprints, as they walked, and despite her small figure, Diana's sunk in the snow. Suddenly Frodo slipped. Aragorn shouted his name catching him. The whole company stopped and Boromir moved forward. Diana held her breath as Boromir picked up the ring from the snow. 

"It's a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing. Such a little thing. Diana moved her hand to her dagger also seeing her brothers hand on his own sword hilt. 

"Boromir!" Aragorn said, but Boromir was stuck in his trance. "Boromir!" Aragorn called again and he snapped out of his trance. "Give the ring to Frodo." Aragorn ordered. He slowly handed the ring back to Frodo, who snatched it out of his grasp. I slowly released my grasp on my dagger, Aragorn doing the same.

Only hours later they were caught up in a huge snowstorm. Diana struggled through it, caught up to her hips and wading through it. Aragorn carried Frodo and Sam, while Boromir carried Merry and Pippin. 

Legolas strode on ahead, still leaving no footprints on the snow. "There is a fell voice on the air!" 

"It's Saruman!" Gandalf cried. Above them there was the sound of cracking filling the air and rocks tumbled down on them. 

"He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf we must turn back!" Aragorn yelled, but Gandalf refused. He stood near the edge of the mountain chanting back. Lighting struck above them starting a snowfall, burying them in the deep snow. She struggled to get out, hyperventilating, crying and stuck.

Suddenly hands pulled her from the snow and she clung to the familiar feel of her brother figure. The group argued over which road they would take as Legolas stroked the girl's hair.

Finally they decided. "We will go through the mines."
