Summary: the fellowship leave Rivendell with only eight. They go to Mirkwood for shelter from the snow and to re-supply on food and sleep. I know I suck at summaries.
Disclaimer: anything that u recognize is not mine, they belong to Tolkien. The genius behind all of this. Well the LOTR anyway.
A/N: ok I'm very new at writing fan fiction. The only kind of writing that I did that other people saw were essays in school. So if any of you have any pointers please don't hesitate to tell me. I really wanna thank Deanna, Cassia, and Siobhan for writing all of their fantastic fics. It really helped me be able to write. So all of u go out and read their stories. If u like legolas angst then you'll love their stories.
Ok now time to start the story.
Chapter one: "We're going where?"
"Hey Gandalf, where are we going?" the little red-headed hobbit asked the old wizard in the front of the group. The old man turned around to face the little creature. Their eyes meeting for a brief second, then Gandalf hung his head and started shaking it.
"For the millionth time, Peregrin Took, we are going to Mirkwood to get out of this snow and to be able to catch up on some much needed sleep." The wizard then turned around and started walking towards the dark forest again. The hobbit which was called Peregrin, or pippin as he prefers, stared blankly at the hunched back of the Wizard.
"Mirkwood?" he said, a disbelieving look in his eyes. "But isn't Mirkwood evil? Doesn't it have evil spiders and wargs and orcs and... and... aren't the elves not very nice?" the little hobbit rambled on. His cousin Merry next to him was shaking his head and laughing.
"Pippin, relax nothing's going to happen to us while we have Strider, Gandalf, Boromir, and Gimli with us." Merry said. Pippin looked from Merry to the Warriors and back to Merry again.
"Yea you're right. But I'm still scared to death to go there. Cause if the elves come out and surprise us we'll be off guard and they can kill us... and I don't want to die. The elves will probably capture us and put us in the dungeon and keep us locked up there for a hundred years. And only give us leftovers for food. And...and..."
"Pippin, please be quiet. None of that is going to happen. Don't worry." The ranger had been having fun with this little ordeal going on up until now. Now Pippin was just getting annoying.
"How do you know? We don't have any elves with us to defend us from the elves so that we won't go in the dungeon."
"We don't need an elf. We have myself and Gandalf. We don't need anymore than that." He paused for a minute. Seeing that pippin had a questioning look on his face, he continued," before you say anything I grew up in Rivendell so I know many elves. Including the ones form Mirkwood."
"Oh." Pippin said sending his eyes downcast. "Ok well when will we be there its cold out here." He shivered to show that he was cold. He stepped forward and fell in the snow up to his waist. "I hate snow." This made the rest of the group to laugh. "Ha ha very funny. Now can someone help me out of here?" the hobbit asked with a hint of aggravation. Aragorn laughed again lightly and picked the small creature out of the snow.
"Now come if we hurry we can get there by nightfall. Let us make haste." Gandalf stated and turned back around and started walking again.
And Gandalf got what he wanted, because the fellowship arrived in Mirkwood forest by nightfall.
"Maybe if we're really quiet, the elves wont hear us and they'll leave us alone." Pippin whispered to the group. "Wait a minute. Why would the elves even be out at night anyway?"
"To keep intruders out that's why" pippin turned around to face the ranger that had just spoken. "And keeping quiet won't help. They'll hear us matter what."
"You mean we're intruders? You see I told that we're going to go in the dungeon. Ahhh!!!! I don't want to be kept in a creepy dark dungeon for the rest of my life!"
"Pippin. Pippin. Hush. You must be quiet. If u make to much noise you'll aggravate the elves."
"But... but... they'll gonna get us and throw us in the dungeon."
"No they're not. Relax. We're going to be kept in the palace with big beds, lots of food, and ale. So don't worry nothing will happen."
Out in the woods, they heard a faint scream, then a loud thud.
Ok leave me alone. I'm bad at leaving cliffies. I'm going to try and update as much as I can. I'm startin' school next week so it might take a little while to update. So just bear with me. Please review! ;)
