Chapter one-What the...?
It was a snowy night and despite the threat of a black out, two girls sat in the dark watching as Gandalf unraveled the secrets of Bilbos ring.
"Woof, woof. Woof, woof." The blond one said as the dog barked at the ring wraith.
"Can you get much dorkier?" Said the brunette.
"Yes as a matter a fact I can." Came her smug reply. They then stuck their tongues out at each other childishly.
There was a flash of lighting that momentarily lit up the room.
"Oh my gawd!"
"Can there even be lightening in a snow storm?" They exchanged thoughtful looks, sticking their tongues again.
"Your gonna freak me out, you know."
"You know I love you, Emily." 'Emily' was about to throw back a snappy retort when suddenly the blond sat up and started waving her hands excitedly. "Shh! Shh! Gandalf about to smack Sam!"
Both watched as Gandalf poked and pulled Sam through the window.
"Samwise Gamgee, have you been eave dropping." Said the blonde.Both waited for a moment before shouting.
"I haven't been dropping no eaves!" They burst out laughing and settled back into the cosy coach.
"Alex, you were right. You can get dorkier."
"We're both dorky." They nodded and all was silent except the TV. It continued until Emily stood up and said.
"I'm thirsty, lets go get a drink."
"You go get it yourself." She replied dismissively.
"No, it's dark, we're alone, and I've seem five to many criminal minds episodes to not freak out." With a dramatic sigh she got up and followed.
Suddenly Alex grabbed Emily's arm tensely. Emily jumped up and turned around.
"What was that for?" Emily said as she smacked Alex's arm angrily.
"Shh! What is that?" She whispered, looking out the window. The power flickered and went out. The girls exchanged a worried glance and Emily looked out the window.
"OMG! Is that guy carrying a bow?" She shrieked.
"OMG! OMG! OMG! We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Alex said. "We need to hide!" She grabbed Emily's arm and pulled her towards the stairs. The door opened in front of them, they screamed and turned to the other direction. They ran out the kitchen door and headed for the woods. They ran, not caring to realize they didn't recognize where they were.
Then as if regaining the ability to think Emily gasped out, "Oh crap! Where are we?"
"This is your property! Shouldn't you recognize it?" She yelled, the fear and agitation clearing evident in her voice.
"Oh yeaa! Cause you know the adrenaline of running in the cold, snowy, dark, from a dude with a bow and arrow who seemed to make chasing us his new hobby, just brings all my memories of woods I haven't been in since summer!" She shouted back just as angry. "Not to mention that you've been here a few times too!"
"I'm sorry, Im just scared!" Alex retorted. "Have you noticed the lack of snow here?"
"We're running from a could be murder and your worried about snow?" She asked between breathes, the running starting to get to them both.
"It's a valid concern! How many times have you gone running through the woods in a snowstorm and wound up running into a spot where there was absolutely no snow?" Alex replied hastily.
Once more Emily's reply was cutoff but this time by the sound of a yell, or maybe more like a bellow, from behind them. They did this sort of half scream half whimper and seemed to regain their speed.
"GO! GO! GO!" Emily shouted as they were running through the woods. Alex shrieked as she ran headlong into a something, she fell backwards and looked up at a man as Emily turned back to help her. "What would two girls being doing alone in the woods of Rivendell?" The man asked suspiciously. Neither one spoke as this was the first break since they started running they could only breath heavily. But Alex, after scrambling to her feet, pointed behind them into the dark woods. As if on cue the man with the bow who they'd seen only through the dark window emerged. They gasped as the man turned out to be some type of grotesque creature.
"What the hell is that?" Emily exclaimed as the creature advanced on them and pulled out a long dagger. The man who Alex ran into puled out a sword and pushed Alex behind him. Emily went over to Alex and they hugged in fear. Suddenly there was a rustle in the woods behind them. They both jumped and turned around as three little people walked out of the bushes.
"Strider!" One of them said. The man turned around. For a moment the man's face flashed in anger.
"I told you to stay back there!" Strider shouted. Alex and Emily were still looking at the little men in shock. The creature charged towards them and Strider jumped in its way. They were in a battle to the death as Alex turned to the little men and said.
"You're so small." She giggled, in shock. Emily whacked her upside the head as the little people looked at her confusedly.
"We're not small, my lady." The smallest said defensively. "You're just tall!" Alex smiled at the little man then turned back to the fight just as Strider cut off the beasts head.
"Oh my god." Emily said, her hands flew to her face. Alex turned quickly away as Strider came over to them.
"Are you injured?" He asked as he sheathed his sword and neared them. Instinctively the girls reached for each other and backed away. Seeing this he put up his hands, in the universal sign of surrender, and proceeded slowly. "I mean you no harm. Where are you children from?" He stopped and looked at them, wondrously.
"Umm." Emily started.
"We got lost. We were just going for a walk when that thing started chasing us." Alex interrupted. Gaining his suspicious look again, he raised an eyebrow.
"This is no place for midnight strolls, especially in those garments." They looked down at themselves and unselfconsciously realized they were both in pajamas with no shoes. "Very odd considering there no towns in these woods for miles." Caught in the lie, they looked at each other and after a non verbal argument decided to go the safe route, both burst into tears.
Of course, Strider had been around a few years and saw through the girls act. The little men on the other hand, did not.
"You haven't got to be so harsh on 'em! They're just a bit lost." Said the larger one. Strider looked taken aback at the comment. The the taller one of the midgets, spoke some sense.
"How can they be lost? If there's no place to be lost from?" The larger one seemed to contemplate it. Then, giving up first, Emily stopped crying suddenly, proving Strider was right.
"Ok, truth time. We have no idea where we are. One minute we're at my house then the next we're being chased by that. Now we're here and you've got swords and dwarfs!"
The little one spoke up and angrily exclaimed, "We're no dwarfs!" His anger turned to pride. "We are Hobbits."
"Hobbits?" Emily echoed.
"Hobbits? Like in Middle Earth or something? There's no such thing as Hobbits!" Alex said, u
"How can there be no such thing if you lookin at one?" They sure seemed to get angry a lot.
"I'm sorry!" Alex said, a bit taken aback. "But the only time we have ever seen a hobbit was in a movie we were watching about an hour ago."
"What's a movie?" The small one asked. Before she could answer, Emily pulled her a few feet away and whispered in her ear.
"As crazy as this might sound, we're either already dead or we actually were chased into middle earth by an orc."
"YOU'RE CRAZY!" Alex screamed making the other group of travelers jump and look at the weirdly. She lowered her voice. "How could you even think that? There is no way in hell that we would ever actually go into a movie and meet up with the main cast even though they think that they are actually in the movie still!" She said, her vice full of terror. "I know what they are, they are murderers playing with our minds!"
"...Yes, cause thats just what all murders do when they decide to kill people. They dress up as pop icons and only then do they murder people."
"We're not murders, nor do we plan on hurting you." Looking at Strider with an exasperated expression on both their faces, Alex said.
"You know listening in on others conversations isn't very nice."
"As true as that may be, you weren't exactly whispering." He said a little agitated. "Now I would be haunted by my fore fathers before I left two ladies alone in the woods. I shall bring you to Rivindell, where you can discuss your situation with Lord Elrond." Deciding their only option was to trust the 'could be Aragorn' they nodded and he smiled slightly.
"Are you sure your both alright?" As there was no immediate danger both began to examine themselves to see if they really were 'alright'. Alex's arm was scratched from when she fell and their feet were all scratched up and bloody from the unforgiving woods. Noticing that, Aragorn went over to the pony and pulled out a blanket. Every one turned to him as the sound of tearing fabric filled the once silent wood.
He motioned for them to sit and despite their confusion they complied. He lifted Emily's foot and began to wrap a strip of fabric around it making both a makeshift bandage and shoe. He then repeated the gesture with her other foot and then with Alex's feet.
"Umm, thanks for saving us from the, er, orc."
"Any able warrior would have." The girls exchanged looks and smirks.
"And thanks for taking us to Rivendell with you." Emily said as the girls stood up testing their new 'shoes'. "How far is it?"
"If we continue till morning then we should reach it by noon." They made their way back to the pony that the hobbits had and began to walk with Aragorn in the lead. Both girls were still very confused, wet, and cold, but they walked on with out a complaint. After all, they'd have been killed by an orc like creature if it wasn't for the man. Their feet were sore but they knew there was a long walk ahead of them.
