The Sixth Chapter of DOOM

"How exactly do you keep your hair so pretty?" Sarah asked. She was sitting behind on him on Arod staring at his insanely shiny blonde hair. Aragorn and Gimli rode beside them on Hasufel.

Legolas looked confused. "I don't understand. What is meant by pretty? " Legolas asked.

"Uhhh… fair? I mean you've been running for your days and it's perfect."

The elf then smirked at her. "That is one of the gifts of the elfkind."

"Hang on. Your immortal, have eternal youth, are an elven prince, can kick orc but without breaking a sweat, and now your hair is eternally perfect? What is wrong with you?"

The elf didn't respond. The two horses then rode over a hill and spotted a small mountain of Uruk parts.

The American wrinkled her nose and wished for a nice can of Lysol.

"Agh, I could have lived without smelling that foul stench." Noted Gimli

Aragorn grunted in agreement and spurred on his horse towards the pile. The American and the elf followed close behind.

When they reached the pile the scene played out differently then Sarah remembered. She was thankful not to suffer through the mini-fellowships angst while she new the hobbits were alive. The ranger immeditaly looked for the hobbits tracks and with his epic ranger skills he found them.

"They ran away from the battle just as the guard said!" Aragorn said, his voice filled with hope. The American, Elf, and Dwarf ran after the ranger.

"Their tracks lead this way to…" Aragorn trailed off, staring at the menacing trees.

"the dark, creepy forest." Sarah finished. Fangorn actually scared her, despite Ents being one of her favorite races… or plants. The trees were gnarled and amazingly tall. There was no forest like this back on earth.

"What madness drove them there." Gimli asked, still staring at the trees.

Sarah took in a deep breath. 'Trees don't scare me! Especially Ents that I like! Well, there are scary trees that want to kill me… but I'm not going to think about that!' she thought. She had to go into the dark forest to get bleached Gandalf so she could save her friends. Sarah was going to get them out of the Rohan dungeon as soon as she possibly could.

"Well, I imagine the Uruks did. They do have this thing about eating people that's rather disturbing." The american said and then plunged into the gnarled branches on Fangorn forest.

Gimli sighed as the three hunters stared at the spot Sarah had just been.

"I can't tell if she's mad or brave." The dwarf muttered.

"I imagine it's both." Legolas said.

Aragorn gave the two a half smile before following the American into the old forest.

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

Sarah stared up at the gigantic tree's with wonder. How in the heck did they get to be so tall?

Suddenly a groaning noise echoed all around her.

"I come in peace!" Sarah yelled.

"Sarah." Aragorn whispered urgently.

The American turned to the ranger.

"I know it is difficult but please keep quiet." Aragorn said quietly.

"I can be quiet." Sarah said indignantly.

The trees groaned around her as if to say "yea right".

Aragorn sighed. "Just don't speak for a while."

Sarah sighed and followed closely behind the ranger.

Suddenly Aragorn held out a hand to stop her as he walked next to Legolas.

"What?" Sarah asked.

The elf stepped back towards the girl. Sarah looked at him suspiciously as he whispered in her ear.

"Run when I turn around."

'Ohhhh... bleached Gandalf is finally back.' Sarah thought.

Aragorn took a step back next to Legolas.

"What do you see?" He asked.

"The white wizard approaches." He said quietly and motioned behind him with his elfy eyes.

The ranger sighed and grasped his sword.

"Do not let him speak. He will put a spell upon us." he murmured.

Gimli gripped his axe and Sarah prepared to run. She didn't really need to but it would make the three feel better.

The three turned around epically and Sarah bounded out of the clearing. She ran behind a tree and blinked as really bright light engulfed the forrest.

'Man thats some strong bleach!' Sarah thought.

She waited a while and waited until Gandalf reveled himself. She smiled after Gandalf finished his tale of fighting the Balrog and decided to come out.

"Ah, there you are." Gandalf said as Sarah approached. "I learned much about you in my travels."

"Really?" Sarah asked, in surprise. He did travel through space and time but she had no idea that he would learn where she was really from.

"You, have not entirely told the truth." He told her sternly. "But I suppose none of us would have believed the truth." The wizard then walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.

"You need not fear your knowledge. Trust your instincts and you may save many lives."

Sarah smiled and hugged the wizard.

"You are the best old man ever!"

The three laughed and Gandalf sighed but still smiled.

"Come, we have a long night ahead of is. Merlin and Arthur should not have to wait much longer in Theoden's dungeon."

"To the Horse People Capitol!" Sarah yelled and charged out of the forest.

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

Sarah had her hood pulled up since she was technically an Outlaw by the order of Grima Wormetoungue. She was also completely silent as Gandalf had ordered not to make a sound. It had definitely been a very long night and her but was sore. However, Merlin and Arthur were about to be freed so it was all worth it.

Aragorn and Legolas stood in front of her. She lowered her head as the guards approached.

"I cannot let you enter the hall so armed." Said Hama, the awesome captain of the guard.

Gandalf nodded and the bearded guards stepped forward.

Gimli reluctantly gave up his axe with a pained look on his face. Legolas twirled his daggers epically with his angry face. The guard in front of Legolas stepped back.

The American snorted but was immediately silenced from an annoyed look from the white wizard.

"Your Staff?" Hama said.

"You wouldn't deny an old man his walking stick." Gandalf asked, looking completely innocent of having a magical stick of Doom. Sarah smirked.

Hama paused but nodded his approval.

Gandalf winked at Aragorn but then turned to Sarah.

"Peregrin, would you mind checking on the horses?" Gandalf asked.

'Peregrin!' Sarah thought. 'You did not just call me Pippin. Well, I guess I don't mind that much…'

Sarah grunted in response since she was not allowed to talk.

"Good…" he turned to the guard. "I wouldn't bother giving him an escort. Poor child is mute."

Hama looked suspicious but nodded again.

The four hero's went into the hall while Sarah decided to go exploring rather then sit in the barn. After wandering around and being bored of angry looking peasants, she went back to sit in front of the Golden Hall. Normally, she would have been happy to explore the fictional city but today Sarah just wanted to rescue her friends. She tried texing Emma but she didn't respond. The American assumed she was either trying to kill Gollum or in a particularly squishy part of the dead marshes. After a while sitting in front of the hall got boring to.

'Maybe I will go check on the horses.' Sarah thought. She walked down the front steps slowly before stopping and looking out at the plains. It was so big and quiet…

"RAGHH!" came a voice behind her. Sarah jumped out of the way before Grima Wormetoungue could be thrown on top of her. Her hood flew off.

"You!" Grima yelled. He lunged at her with a dagger, intending to really finish her off this time.

Sarah yelled but then Wormtoungue was blasted twenty feet away from her.

'Wait, what?' Sarah thought. 'Magical blasting… Merlin!'

The American turned around to see her favorite young warlock running towards her. The warlock slammed into her and gave her a gigantic hug.

"Your Alive!" he yelled. "We thought you were dead. Grima told us he had killed you and..." Merlin trailed off and just hugged more tightly.

"I'm okay. Merlin, I'm seriously fine. Hana and Eomer got me out before he could do anything." Sarah said.

The American pulled away and then realized that he had tears in his eyes.

"Oh, God. That... worm." Sarah seethed and hugged Merlin again.

"WHERE IS HE!" roared Arthur as he stormed out of the Golden Hall. "I'll kill him!"

"Wait!" Yelled Theoden from behind the prince. "That worm has poisoned my mind and nearly destroyed my kingdom. I shall deal with him."

Arthur, still angry, nodded and let the king pass. It was then that he saw Sarah alive and still being crushed by Merlin.

He ran down the stair and a manly tear ran down his face. Sarah looked up and smiled.

"Come on guys. Don't cry. I'm okay! I can't deal with you lot crying." Sarah then got up and hugged Arthur. The prince also nearly smushed the girl.

"Air!" Sarah wheezed.

"Oh, sorry." Arthur put her down and the three all smiled at each other.

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

Later that night the three were all eating in the Golden hall. The others were discussing the war and having other plot essential dialogue. However, the American and the Camelot residents just wanted to eat. Merlin and Arthur because they had eaten moldy bread for the past week and Sarah because she had ridden all night on a horse without food.

"Wait, so how did you guys get out of the dungeon so fast?" Sarah asked, realizing that they shouldn't have gotten to her that fast.

"One of the guards that was loyal to Eomer came and released us as soon as Gandalf walked into the hall. He apparently knew that we would be freed as soon as the worm was gone." Arthur said.

"That and he thought the worm was a horrible slime ball." Merlin added.

"Everyone thinks hes a horrible slime ball." Sarah said, gnawing on a piece of bread.

"Well, Everyone except that other wizard... What's his name again?' Arthur asked.

"Saruman, except he's a horrible slime ball to." Sarah said, and smiled slightly.

"I think everyone evil is a slime ball." Merlin added.

"Merlin, your putting me off my food. Now, shut up." Arthur said.

"Why does every conversation we have end with you telling him to shut it?" Sarah asked, genuinely curious.

"Because... he talks way too much."

"I do not." Merlin said indifferently.

"Yes you do." Arthur said, leaning back in his chair.

"No..."

"Arthur, Merlin. Shut up." Sarah interrupted before returning to the nice bowl of soup in front of her.

The prince and warlock gave each other a look before they stole Sarah's bread and ran for it.

"Hey! Get back here!"

The American chased after the British bread thieves while the Rohirim guards looked on in amusement.
