The Hunter  by Lairewen 5 Review(s)

Bill the rat...oh it's fantastic! I'm sure she loved it too.

This was absolutely brilliant! Your description of the chase was *extremely* amusing; I can well understand Glorfindel's ire with the pesky creature.
Needless to say it would of course be the twins' bedroom it escapes into - they've probably been feeding it on the sly anyway.

I loved Elrohir's reaction to the rat's 'death' though I rather think I would have been jumping for joy and screaming 'get it out of here!'

Oh and don't worry about the length, I thought it just right and you ended it perfectly -that was a lovely line about the balrogs. And also a great opening too.

There was one place where I got a little confused:

"Squeak?" Elrohir beamed.

"Hello!" He replied cheerfully.

When I read that I see it as Elrohir saying "squeak" and the rat replying "hello." I think 'Elrohir beamed' should be mixed in with the 'cheerful reply' bit.

Other than that, this was a wonderful read!

What a sight that must have been! ROFLOL! Poor Glorfindel, chasing a rat, then winding up underneath the bed. Great story. Loved the ending. *still laughing*

I sympathise with Elrohir - for several years my son had a pet rat, he was delightful (the rat, not my son!)
