I walked behind Legolas and in front of Boromir. Gandalf was leading the way with Frodo. Gandalf pointed his staff down a deep cliff. The light didn't hit the bottom of the deep, wide pit. Gandalf turned to Legolas and Frodo and said something about mithril but I was walking very close to the wall of the cliff.
"Scared of heights?" Asked Pippin. I smiled at him and replied
"No, but I would not like to fall off the edge."

We walked for hours, until we hit a large room with many passages. Gandalf looked around him and said softly
"I have no memory of this place." We sat down while Gandalf sat down with his pipe and spoke to Frodo in a soft voice. I could hear what they were talking about, so I sat down and pulled out my map and looked at it.
"I have studied every Moria map, but I can't remember this room on them." I sighed and placed my hands on my head, trying to think. Then it came to me. Both Gandalf and I said
"It's that way!" I looked at Gandalf  and he looked at me and we laughed softly. Then we started to walk again.

I saw a light shining on a room. I heard a cry and Gimli went running towards the room. Gandalf cried out
"Gimli, wait!" We ran after the dwarf. His head was leaning against a stone box. Gandalf read the words
"Here lays, Balin....." He keep reading but I stopped listening and turned to Legolas and Aragorn.
"We cannot linger here."  Legolas said to Aragorn. A loud sound, made both Legolas and I jump. Pippin had pushed an Orc body down a deep well. He closed his eyes as the sound and the body fell down the well. Gandlalf was telling Pippin off, but I turned to the door. I could hear drums and the sound of feet. Iron shod feet. Orc feet. My heart beat raced. Boromir and I poked our heads out of the door. I gasped. Thousands of orcs and a cave troll. Arrows only just missed Boromir's head. I grabbed him and pulled him inside the door. He turned to Aragorn and me and said
"They have a cave troll." Legolas started throwing spears and wooden poles at Boromir and Aragorn. I helped him as we tossed stuff at the men and they blocked the door.
"That will not hold them!" I said to Legolas. He looked at me, surprised.
"How do you know about war?" I looked at him shocked.
"I fought in many battles, Prince Legolas and I have survived each one. And I plan to live through this one." Legolas frowned at me and replied coldly
"Do not call me Prince Legolas ever again, do you understand?" I was about to replied to that but Aragorn said
"Really Vilya? Must you two do that now?" I sighed and grabbed my bow and fitted an arrow to my bow string and pulled the string to my ear. Legolas rolled his cute blue eyes at me. The orcs started to attack the door. Aragorn, Legolas and I fired our arrows that the orcs, but that didn't stop them. The cave troll broke the door down. I pushed my bow into my quiver and whipped out my daggers. I was only just in time. An Orc was changing that me. My light feet leaped out of the way and I stabbed him in the back. Show no mercy rang in my head. I found myself back to back with Boromir, hacking at everyone that was half a meter in my space. I spat at an Orc before killing him
"You should have stayed in your hole!" I turned just in time to Aragorn against the wall.
"Uncle!" I screamed. I ran to his side and Legolas was there in already.
"Legolas, kill that troll. I looked after him." Legolas nodded and ran off. I stood helpless as Frodo was speared by the troll.
"No, Frodo." He dropped to the floor. The whole company frozen in horror. Then everyone started hacking at the orcs. Aragorn shook his head and looked at me and placed both of his hands on my cheeks.
"Vilya, help Legolas. I will be fine." I quickly kissed his forehead and ran over to Legolas. He had the troll's chain wrapped around a stone pillar. He quickly ran up the chain and two arrows flew from his bow and into the troll's head. He fell with a groan. Gandalf shouted to us
"This way!" I saw Aragorn help Frodo to his feet, who was still alive and we ran down stairs.
