A young girl was running, from something unknown. The girl was running in what seemed to be a forest. She ran for about 4 minutes before looking back. There was nothing there, but when she looked in front of her she saw something about a yard away, she slowed her pace to a fast walk and tried to see what it was. As she got closer, she noticed the thing, was three people. She looked behind her and found a large horse with a person dressed all in black on it. She started to run again and got closer to the people, one looked like a tortured Hobbit, the others were both male, and Hobbits, just like her.

Maili woke up, she looked at her surroundings, it was the forest that she had meet Frodo, Sam, and Gollum in, the day before when the Dark rider was chasing her. She looked on the ground next her and found the sword that Frodo had given her to fight with. She got up and grabbed her stuff, and walked a little ways before seeing Sam and Frodo near a river. Frodo looked back behind him and saw Maili.

"Hello, there" Maili replied by only saying "hi." Sam looked up from the stew he was making and smiled at Maili. Maili gave a little twitch of the mouth and looked around once again.

"Thank you for saving me from the wrath.but I must be off" she threw Frodo the sword that she was given and started to walk off. But no sooner had she started of, someone was blocking her way. It was Sam.

"Where are you going?" he asked. His arms were crossed, and he was looking at her seriously. "I'm heading out of this forest. I must keep on the move." She explained was she looked at the bumpy grassland below.

"At least stay for breakfast. It will take at least 5 days to get out of the forest that we are in" Sam offered as he looked at her. After about one or two minutes of registering the time that it would take to get out, she nodded and walked over to were Frodo was now sitting, minding the stew.

"So you decided to stay for breakfast after all" Frodo said as he threw her the sword that she had given back to him.

"Yes I have," she said as she caught the sword and sat down. She looked at Frodo confused. Frodo saw this and asked her about it.

"What are you confused about?" Maili looked from the pot of stew that was simmering and looked at Frodo. "Was there not another with you? Another by the name of Gollum?" she asked. Frodo lifted his left eyebrow and explained that after the attack she had fainted and slept in. so they had asked Gollum to look after her until she woke up. And that Gollum was probably looking for food for himself.

(Sam's point of view)

Sam had just gotten up. It was the same old routine for 3 days already. Wake up, eat, and start off on their journey to Mordor again. And only stop for water and to eat, and the occasional rest. Sam picked up his cape and stretched. He looked over to his left. Under another tree was another hobbit. He didn't know her name or anything about her for after the attack the night before, she had fainted, and also during the fight they had told her their names. And of course, Sam didn't trust her. Why would another hobbit be in these woods so close to Mordor? Let alone a Female hobbit. The only reason that he could think of was that she was a spy for Souron. He looked to his right and saw Frodo. He woke him up and foraged for food. The result of food that they came up with was a few non-poisonous mushrooms, a few berries. He took the mushrooms and started to cook them. He rummaged threw his own pack for other food to put into the stew. He found what he was looking for. At the very bottom of his pack were two carrots. They must have been there since the night that a wraith sword had stabbed Frodo.

Sam stirred contently until he heard Frodo say hi to someone. He looked up and there was the girl that had fainted the night before. She had Light Brown hair. When she turned toward him he saw that she had all black on underneath the cape she was wearing. Instead of the dresses that all the female hobbits wore she had paints and a shirt, she also had Hazel eyes. He decided to smile and not look too un-trustworthy. She just gave a twitch of the mouth and threw Frodo his sword back. ~ Probably doesn't even need it, because she's probably a spy.~ Sam thought to himself as the young Hobbit-ess started to walk away. Sam got up and walked to a place about 2 seconds in front of her if she was to keep going. ~ I cant let her leave, I want some answers! ~ He crossed his arms and looked at her. She glanced up.

"Where are you going?" he asked. He didn't think that she would actually answer. But she did.

"I'm heading out of this forest, I must keep on the move" she replied. No dought to go tell Souron where we are, and that we are heading up to Mordor. ~

"At least stay for breakfast. It will take at least 5 days to get out." Sam looked down at the girl, she was about 5'2 - 5'3. He, himself was 5'6. The tallest Hobbit that he knew about was 5'7. Sam refocused and waited for the girls' response. She just nodded. She turned and walked back. Sam was close behind thinking up all the little reasons that she could be a spy for Souron.
