A/N
I've decide that when the situation calls for it I will change the POV. It won't happen a lot I promise. It will only happen to fit the story line.

"We need to rest Gandalf! We've been walking for miles, and..." you glanced worriedly at Legolas he was panting and his head was bent with exhaustion. Gandalf grumbled in agreement.
"We will rest in the shallow cave over there." He announced.
"No. It's fine I can carry her!" Legolas said.
"Legolas..." you whispered. "You are tired. You need to rest."
"I'm fine really. We need to keep moving."
"If you will not rest for yourself, will you rest for me?" You asked. He looked at you, sighed then agreed. You smiled.

While Legolas was resting you decided to try walking. You limped from one side of the cave to the other. You were getting better. You wanted to be able to walk by the time the Fellowship started moving again.
"Don't tire yourself." A voice called. You turned around. Boromir. Of course.
"I won't don't worry." You said then returned to walking or rather limping back and forth. 
"We wouldn't want you to get hurt even more. Would we?" Boromir asked getting closer to you. You rolled your eyes.
"I'm trying to walk of the pain. Okay?"

"I've rested. Let's go." Legolas said. He made his way to you to assist you once more, but Boromir picked you up bridal style and started carrying you.
"Is this really necessary?" You asked.
"Like I said, we don't want you to get hurt even more." You could do nothing he was holding you so tight that you couldn't move. You looked back at Legolas and mouthed 'help!'

—————
The Fellowship had walked a mile or two by now. Gandalf was walking very fast like he was scared of something, every few steps he would turn around and tell them to move faster.

You heard a mumbling in the air. It seemed as though only you, Gandalf, Aragorn and Legolas could hear it.
"So, Gandalf... you try to lead them over Caradhras. And if that fails... where then will you go?" It said.
"If the mountain defeats you, will you risk more dangerous road?"
"There is a foul voice in the air." Legolas cried urgently.
"It's Saruman." Gandalf said picking up his pace.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain," yelled Aragorn. "We must turn back!"
"No!" Gandalf started chanting.
"Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho I ruith." He said the counter spell to late.

A crack of lighting hit the mountain above you. A huge snow avalanche was tumbling towards you. The Fellowship threw themselves against the wall of the cliff.

"You have to put her down," Legolas yelled. "It's not safe Boromir!" Boromir grumbled and put you down. Legolas grabbed your arm and pulled you against the wall. Just in time. Just as you back hit the wall all the snow fell.

—————
Legolas
"Where is she?" I yelled. Everyone was safe except her.
"Where is she?" I yelled again. Tears welling up in my eyes. I looked frantically everywhere.
"W-where is she...?" I whimpered. I noticed a hand sticking out of the snow.
"No..." I whispered.

—————
You
You couldn't see... you couldn't breath... where were you? Why were you so cold? What happened. The snow falling. The Fellowship all backed up against the mountain. Legolas pulled you towards him.... Legolas... Where was he? Why wasn't he here? The Fellowship... we're they safe? The ring! Where was it? Was it safe? Was everything lost...? What if you were dead? What if they were dead? What if... Legolas was dead?

You felt a strong hand grabbed your arm and pull you out.

It was bright. So bright you couldn't see. Was this what it's like to be dead?
"(Y/n)?"
You knew that voice.
"Legolas?" You whispered.
"Yes. It's me."
"She's alive." Another voice sighed.
"Aragorn?"
"Yes."
"Did you die too?" You asked.
"We're not dead, and neither are you." Aragorn chuckled. Not dead? You opened you eyes. The mountain. Gandalf, Pippin, Merry, Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Boromir and Legolas. He had tears in his eyes.
"You worry?" You asked him.
"What? No. I thought you were dead. That's it." He said his cheeks turning red.
"Good." Everything faded to black.

—————
You gained consciousness again. You were in a cave. You didn't recognize this cave. You stood up and you heard voices from outside the cave.

"We must get off the mountain. Make for the gap of Rohan and take the West road to my city!" Boromir said.
"The gap of Rohan takes us to close to Isengard." Aragorn countered.
"We cannot pass over the mountain. Let us go under it. Let us go through the mines of Moria." Gimli suggested.
Everything was silent for a minute.
"Let the ring bearer decide." Gandalf sighed.
"We will go through the mines." Gandalf slowly nods.
"So be it."
