Andrea was panting in the dark. They had just saved Frodo from the creature that lived in the lake but it had broken the door and now they were stuck in Moria. And to top it all off there were dead body's of dwarves everywhere. '' And so we face the long dark of Moria.'' Gandalf said hitting his staff on the floor to create light from his crystal. '' Be on your guard.'' He finished before putting hid hat back on. Andrea put her sword back in her sheath. It was dead quiet as they walked. Andrea put her hand on the shoulder of the devastated Gimli who looked at the corpses of his kin. Gimli simple shook her hand of his shoulder and walked next to Legolas. Andrea walked beside Aragorn. Aragorn looked at Andrea and saw a look of pain and sadness in her eyes.  '' What is bothering you Mellon?'' Andrea looked at Aragorn before looking ahead again sighing sadness growing in her Blue orbs as she whispered.  '' Gimli talked so fondly about is kin who lived here in Moria and him coming and finding them dead makes me wish I could do something to cheer him up.'' Andrea said looking down at her feet. Aragorn smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. '' I am sure Gimli knows you wish to, but some times people need to morn.'' Andrea nodded. -Time Skip-  Gandalf stopped in the middle of three archways after they had climbed the very long and steep stairs. '' I have no memory of this place..'' He said. Andrea found herself sitting next to Pippin and Merry. '' Merry are we lost?'' Pippin asked.  '' No pip we are not lost.'' Merry replied.  '' Merry.''       '' Yes?''       '' I'm hungry.''  Andrea gilled quietly. Aragorn was talking with Gimli and Legolas so Andrea didn't now what to do. '' How are you liking the journey so far?'' A voice said beside her. Andrea turned to find Boromir. Andrea smiled. '' interesting and full of surprises.''    Boromir smiled slightly. '' If I may ask my lady have you ever been on a journey such as this before?.''  Andrea let out a sigh. ''No never sadly ever since the death of my mother Ada....lord Elrond said wouldn't risk anyone else in his family line.''  Boromir slowly nodded understanding. '' Oh!'' Gandalf said catching everyone's attention.   '' Its that way.''   '' He's remembered.''  Merry said putting his pipe away. '' No but the air isn't so foul in here.''  '' In other words Merrydoic always follow your nose.''    Andrea smiled at Gandalf's words as they made they're way down the stairs. On passing on area Gimli made a yell of shock as he ran into a room were a stream of light was Shining through  a small slit in the wall. ''Gimli!''     Gandalf called after him.               '' No!'' Gimli yelled as he stood in front of a tome. '' No.'' He said falling to his knees. '' No!'' He said as he wept. The other arrived in the room Aragorn putting a hand on the dwarfs shoulder. '' Here lies Balin son of fundin lord of Moria.''     Andrea put her hand over her mouth as she looked from Gandalf to the devastated Gimli. '' Oh Gimli..'' Andrea whispered holding back her tears of sorrow for her dwarf friend. Gandalf had taken a book from one of the dwarf skeletons and blew the dust off of it. '' We cannot linger.''  Legolas said to Aragorn. '' They have taken the bridge and the southern hall, we cannot get out. '' Gandalf said reading the book while turning the old crusty pages.  '' We have bared the gates but still the noise is in the air...drums drums in the deep.....we cannot get out....they're coming.'' Gandalf said looking at the company. Andrea could see a spark of fear in the wizards eyes. *CLANG*. Andrea jumped and turned to see Pippin turning scared as the wizard and the rest of the company watched the head of a skeleton well down an old well.  Then the hole skeleton fall sending a clanging sound Andrea was sure all of Moria heard. Pippin cringed at the noises till they stopped. Everyone listened and then sighed. '' Fool of a took!''  Gandalf scolded Pippin as he snatched his staff and hat back.  '' Throw yourself in next time to rid us of your stupidity!''    *Boom.*   Andreas head snapped towards the well.  Her eyes growing wide. *Boom Boom Boom*     ''  Mr. Frodo!'' Sam said Frodo pulled out his sword sting reveling its blue glow.     '' Orcs!''  Legolas yelled.  A/N : Hope you enjoyed this update and thank you for reading my book this far it makes me really happy! :)
