“The Uruks turn northeast. They're taking the Hobbits to Isenguard!!!" Legolas shouts back.
“Saruman" Aragorn says mostly to himself.
We keep on running, I am hoping that Merry and Pippin are still alive. I hear Gimli muttering to himself, “Keep breathing. That's the key. Breathe."
“They've run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them." Legolas tells us.
We run through the night, it seems to fly by. Soon the sun starts to rise. Legolas stops and turns around, “A red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night." He turns back around and continues running.
We hears the hoof-beats of horses and Aragorn motions for us to hide behind some boulders.
Aragorn seems to know who they are, because he gets out from the bolder and shouts to them, “Riders of Rohan, what news from the mark?"
The Riders of Rohan turn their horses around and they circle us, also pointing their spears at us. Someone, who seems to be the leader, comes up to us and asks, “What business does two Elves, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly."
“Give me your name, horse-master, and I shall give you mine." Gimli says to him. I knew he had made the wrong decision in saying that.
He gets off his horse and walk towards us. Aragorn puts his hand on Gimli's shoulder. “I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground."
Legolas pulls out an arrow and points it at him, “You would die before your stroke fell." Aragorn puts down Legolas' bow.
Aragorn turns back to him and says, “I am Aragorn son of Arathorn. This is Gimli son of Gloin, and Legolas and Alastegiel if the Woodland-Realm. We are friends of Rohan and of Thèoden your king."
“Thèoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. Not even his own kin." The Horse-master says. They remove their spears. “Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands. My company are those loyal to Rohan. And for that, we are banished. The White Wizard is cunning. He walks here and there, that say as an old man hooded and cloaked. And everywhere, his spies slip past our nets."
“We are no spies," Aragorn says to him. “We are tracking a party of Uruk-hai westward across the plain. They have taken two of our friends captive."
“The Uruks are destroyed, we slaughtered them during the night."
“But there were two Hobbits, did you see two Hobbits with them?" Gimli asks urgently.
“They would be small. Only children to your eyes." Aragorn adds.
“We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them."
I immediately freeze in place, I can see the smoke in the distance. They can't, they just can't... I think to my self, not being able to even think about that word. But Gimli says it,
“Dead?"
