This is my first time writing a chapter for the Hobbit. I hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter 1

"Arianna, come on I was on just helping her out with homework. Nothing happen." Luke explained, as he continued behind me as I stormed back to the front of my door.

"Oh so I didn't see you making out with another girl!" I turned around to face him as I argued. "And that homework was what?! CPR training!" I could feel myself get angrier and angrier almost every minute I was with him.

He looked like he was in deep thought.

"Umm…Yes."

I felt a growl in my throat just ready to come out. I turned around in search for my key.

"Listen Aria-"

"Leave." I said finally getting my key out and opening the door.

"Aria-"

"Luke I never want to talk or see you again after what you did." I turned around slowly to face him to show that I was the stronger person here.

"But Aria-"

"Good bye Luke." I said as I closed the door on him. I sighed in frustration as I leaned against my door.

This seemed to be the curse of every relationship I got into. I meet a guy that seemed sweet and kind, and it always end with me ending up being the girl who ended up cheated on or in some men's words not overly beautiful one here.

I got up from the door and looked in the mirror to see dark brown eyes with glasses on. Shoulder brown hair , high cheekbones with a little bit of freckles. And I may not be model skinny, but I wasn't fat either so why was I having a problem with relationships.

"Why do you have such a hard time with relationships?" I asked myself, not expecting an answer.

"It could be the guys that you are picking." I nearly jumped and turned to face Whitney with her hands on her hips. "Let me guess another bad one huh."

I nodded my head. "So how was she?" Wanting to forget about my date for only a few minutes at least.

Whitney smiled and answered in a playful voice with some mischief in her eye. "Oh she went on an adventure with her husband for some hidden jewels in a vast jungle, facing a fearsome beast."

I smiled at her answered and responded in a playful voice as well. "Oh she did."

"Yes, but not to worry she only had one cookie tonight." Whitney giggled and I joined her. "She makes everything an adventure."

"I know, she reminds me so much of Joey." I said, smiling at the thought. "He was always coming up with adventures when we were kids."

"Yeah, I know. You guys always got me so much trouble." Whitney said stretching her arms.

"Hey." I gave her playful push. "I seemed to recall an adventure called the golden diamond. Don't you remember how that turned out."

"Oh yeah. Man that got us one heck of a spanking from my grandma and it wasn't like we ruin the whole day." She said rubbing her butt.

I rolled my eyes in response and shook my head. "You forget that we did pretty much messed up the wedding cake meant for your Aunt Linda."

"Oh yeah, but they still found a cake just in time, and it looked better than the one they had."

We both laughed at that, and talked about the adventures we did together when we were young, also on what he had plan on doing together. We continued to talk until Whitney noticed the time.

We both walked towards the front door. "Thanks again for doing this for me."

"It is no problem." I opened the door for her, but she turned around. "Before I forget you receive a letter from your mother. It is in the kitchen on the table"

I gave her a confused and curious look. "Really?"

Whitney nodded.

"Thank you for letting me know." She then turned around and headed out the door to head on back home.

I closed door to take a look at the letter on the table.

My parents were not that closed when Joey and I were young. Our dad had to raise us while mom was traveling the world. It was very often when we heard from her and when she did she would leave us gifts and a letter to dad what in our dad's words an apology for leaving us.

Dad told us that we should forgive our mother and it was not worth holding a grudge against her, but I will admit it is very hard to forgive. Especially after dad had died.

I walked into the kitchen and spotted the letter sent from mom. I picked up the letter to see a phony address she had used when Joey and I were younger. It was always our grandmother's address. I rolled my eyes at the thought of her still not wanting to be found. 'It's not like I'm going to look for her or anything.'

I walked into the living room to see my nine year-old niece was sleeping on the couch while the Lion King was playing on the scene of Timon and Pumba singing Hakuna Matata.

I took a seat on the couch by raising her head so she would not be woken up, but luck was not on my side.

"Auntie." She whispered softly as she open her eyes.

"I'm sorry Melody I didn't mean to wake you." I said apologetically.

"I was waiting up for you, how was your date with Luke?"

"Let's just say you won't be seeing him anymore." I said reaching for the remote to turn off the TV, since no one was watching it.

She did not look too surprise or upset about it. "He was a totally B-

"Hey, hey. Remember what I told you about using those words." I said placing my hand her lips so she could get the message.

"Well he is." She pleaded. "Besides I told you he was not a good. Whitney and I told you."

She climbed into my lap making me put the letter to the side.

I giggled a little. "I know." I lay back into the couch. "I know. I was just hoping he was good."

"Well he wasn't." Melody argued, as she lay her head on my chest. "I could have picked a better guy for you than that Auntie."

I swallow a giggled and smile.

She moved her head off my chest and looked at me in the eye. "I'm serious Auntie."

I still could not help, but smile at her. "Well, since you can pick a better guy than I can, how about you choose the next guy ok."

Melody gave a big smile. "Deal Auntie." She said throwing her arms around me and I returned the hug.

As soon as she released me she had the letter that was from mom in her hand. "What's this?" Melody asked holding the envelope.

"It is a letter from you grandma." I said taking the letter from her.

She gave me a confused look. "But grandma passed away four years ago, Auntie."

I shook my head. "It is from your other grandma."

"You mean the one that is really busy overseas?"

"Yep. She sent the letter." I answered allowing her to sit in my lap.

"What does it say?" She asked making a grab for the letter, which I kept out of reach.

I moved her off my lap. "I'll see what it says."

"You think she's inviting us to come live with her in a big castle!" She asked excitedly.

I smiled at my niece's imagination. She had such a wild imagination at times.

As I pulled out the letter out of the envelope and two rings fell out. Which Melody caught in her hands before they disappeared into the couch.

My dearest daughter Arianna,

I have no idea where to begin. But I do want you and Joey to know how sorry I am for not being there for you both. It is amazing how fast the years have gone and how much time was wasted for not being there for either of you two. I hope that with this letter you will find in both of your hearts to forgive me. I found these rings in my expedition I hope they will bring the both of you joy like they have me. The one with the snowflake belongs to you and the one with the flame belongs to Joey.

Love Mother

(P.S. Please send your brother my love and forgiveness, for I have no idea where he lives.)

As I read the end of the letter I closed my eyes trying to keep the tears at bay. Mom had been so absent she had no idea that Joey had died. I was about to crumble the letter up, but stopped when Melody held the rings up to my face.

"They are so pretty!" She looked at both of these rings closely. "Are they both yours?"

It was an innocent answer, and I shook my head. "No this one here." I held up the ring that was red with a symbol of a flame. "Belongs to your daddy."

She made an oh sound. "So that one is yours." She said as she pointed to the one that was blue with a snowflake on it.

I nodded at her. She really looked interested in Joey's ring and despite how angry I was at my mother I could not let Melody see me hold a grudge against her grandma. Joey wouldn't want that.

"This belong to your father. I believe he wanted you to have it." I said, holding the ring out to her. She took it and smile big.

"Thank you Auntie." She took the ring out of my hand. "I'm going to my room to see how it looks."

She made a dashed to her room while I sat on the couch with the ring in my palm. I was just going to throw it away, but then I thought 'why not put it on. At least just this once. Then you don't have to wear it again.'

It was then that once I placed the ring on everything in the room began to spend all around me.

"AUNTIE" I heard Melody screamed.

I ran regardless of the room spending to Melody's room to see her back looking around.

"Melody!" I shouted her name. She turned around and tried to reach out for me, only to fall and to my shock vanished.

"Melody!" I screamed, but then everything around me began to fade and I felt like I was falling. It wasn't until I felt unconscious.

~Melody POV~

I opened my eyes to see I was surrounded by forest and it looked really creepy.

"Auntie." I said, sounding like a whine. I got up to dust some of the dirt off me.

I turned around to see a Giant Spider.

"Auntie Arianna!" I screamed finally, as I ran away.

The spider hot on my feet as I ran. It made a horrifying sound that I knew I would no doubt have to sleep in the same bed with Auntie to keep the nightmares away.

I then tripped over an uproot and I turned quickly to see that the spider was upon me. I crawl backwards away from the monster as fast as I could, but my leg was in pain.

I looked up to see it's eyes looking at me hungrily and something sharp under it's stomach about to stabbed me with.

"Oh daddy, mommy I'm coming to join you." I said, hoping they would here it, and closed my eyes awaiting death.

I waited and waited and still nothing. I opened my eyes to see that the big spider was on the ground not moving.

Slowly, I began to crawl backwards. Away from the creature that almost had me for a meal, wincing every time because of my leg.

"Auntie! Auntie Arianna!" I shouted once again, looking around for her.

I tried to stand up regardless of the pain I felt in my leg and the tears I felt in my eyes from the pain.

I began to walk in the forest, but stopped when I saw two- no a whole bunch of angels. They were so pretty.

"This must be heaven. They are so pretty." I muttered to myself.

I watched as the first two I saw first one with long blond hair and to talked to the red head both were wearing odd clothes. I turned around to see all of them all of them had long hair and were dressed in odd clothes.

As I looked back to where the two people were they were both right in front of me making my heart pound. I saw the red head that I could now see was a female began to talk to me.

The language sounded pretty, but I had no idea, what was being said.

"Auntie. Where are you?" I whined softly looking worry, I did not care if they saw me cry, but I wanted my Auntie.

I hope you all enjoy this chapter and please review. I would really appreciate it until next time.
