The Rangers (The Lord of the Rings)
The Two Towers
Part Two
Chapter 1 On the Trail
We have been tracking the Uruk Hai pack that had Merry and Pippin for three days now. Aragorn said we were gaining on them but we couldn't come in contact with them because it would be too dangerous. All we did was run.
"There pace has quickened." Aragorn said his head to the ground. "We must move!"
Aragorn, then Legolas, me and Gimli far behind. I don't know how those elves do it, he's jut so graceful, whereas, I trip over every twig, rock, and blade of grass there is!
We stopped on a hill looking over Rohan.
"Rohan. Home of the horse-lords." Aragorn said.
"Can't we rest yet?" Gimli muttered out if breath.
"We must keep moving. Legolas! What do your elf eyes see?" Aragorn yelled to Legolas who was over looking the land.
"There moving west, their taking the hobbits to Isengard!" He shouted.
"Come Gimli, we're gaining on them!" Legolas yelled to him.
"Us dwarves are natural sprinters, but this is just ridiculous." He muttered.
"I agree." I whispered to him before I took off running again.
Several minutes later, we were near boulders so Aragorn could check their pace. Again. There was something shiny on the ground and Aragorn picked it up.
"Not idly do the leaves of Lothlórien fall. They must be close." He said.
Thudding began in the distance, sounding almost hooves. We hid behind the rocks just in case someone saw us. They got closer and it turned out to be men on horses.
"Riders of Rohan! What news do you bring from the north?" Aragorn shouted to the men coming out from under the boulders.
The riders crowed around us pointing there spears and weapons at us. The leader came forth.
"What does an elf, a dwarf, a women, and a man be doing in these fields?" The leader asked. I smirked.
"What is it of your business?" I asked annoyd. He got off his horse and came right up to me.
"I could have your head in one clean stroke of my sword." He said motionless. Oh, he just threated me. That is not how you get into Legolas' or Aragorns good book. Legolas quickly pulled his bow out with an arrow ready to release.
"You would die before your stroke fell!" He yelled. I grinned, knowing where this was going.
"We are just looking for an Orc pack, they took our friends." Aragorn said.
"We just hunted that pack down by the hill." He said.
"Did you see two hobbits? they would be just children in your eyes." Gimli said.
"We left none alive. We killed them all and burned the bodies. There across the hill."He whistled and two horses came galloping over.
"Here, may these horses bid you better fortune than there last owners. I'm am sorry. Lets move out!" He shouted.
With all hopes I had, I climbed up on the horse with Aragorn and Gimli and Legolas on the other.
We trotted down the little hill to the pile of bodies. The smell of rotting flesh came to my nose. We got off the horses and Gimli shuffled through the bodies with his axe.
"Look, it's one of there wee belts." He held up a little leather belt. I felt my eyes get blurry.
"AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRGGGG!" Aragorn screamed as he sunk to the ground on his knees.
"We came all this way." I said as I put my hand on Aragorns shoulder. He put his hand on mine and looked up. I walked back over to the horses, getting ready to hop on.
"A hobbit lay here. And here, another." Aragorn said, all fours on the ground. "There hands were bound with rope." He held up strands of rope. "They were untied and ran through their." He pointed to the dreaded Fangorn Forrest.
"Why on Middle-earth, would they run into there?!" Gimli said.
"They were being chased." Aragorn replied.
"So...... There not dead?" I asked unsure.
"No, there not dead." Legoals reassured.
"Well, lets go!" Gimli shouted.
We sprinted into the dark forrest. The trees were as old as time itself it seemed. Their were sounds of grunts and crunching or branches that put me on edge.
"This forrest is very old. They say these trees talk and move." Legolas said as if in a daze. Gimli moved his axe higher to him out of fear. He looked uneasy.
"Gimli, lower your axe." Aragorn said almost inaudible.
"We are not alone." Legolas whispered.
"The white wizard approaches." Aragorn said. We all grabbed our weapons and pointed them to the glowing white figure that stood before us. "Do not hesitate, he will put you under his spell." He said.
I got me bow ready to fire. We all realeased our weapons at the same time. The wizard slapped them away like nothing.
"Who are you?! Reveal yourself!"
