Nics POV

Who are we? How are we gonna explain this one? Ok since Lou isn't answering I guess its up to me. "Um Hi Sam my name is Nicole and this is my friend Claire, otherwise known as Lou" This time Frodo himself spoke up. "Why are you here, and how do you know Sam's name?" Oh Lou's found her tongue again now has she? " We have been sent to assist you in your mission. We both have bowers that could prove useful. And we don't just know Sam's name, we know all of you. You are Frodo and that is Merry and Pippin." OK Lou was really getting into this Middle- earth thing. She was even talking like them. Now all of the hobbits were staring at us. Havnt they ever seen humans before? Suddenly I felt very cold and the hobbits eyes were nearly popping out of their heads. Lou whacked me on the arm. "Idiot calm down. You're raising a wind." Whoops. I forgot about the whole me getting annoyed summons wind thing. Oh well. Maybe now the hobbits will get that their pissing me off. Lou glared at me, then turning to Frodo said " Please forgive my friend. She can not always control her power" Frodo nodded, then asked for a demonstration of both our powers.

Lou went first. "See that dry patch over there? Well watch it" She summoned water and the patch bloomed. Wow that water is definitely potent stuff. Then I decided to show off a little. I used the wind to fly over to Lou's patch. Then I dried it out. The hobbits applauded. "Wow you CAN be useful to us" Said Pippin. "Lou can grow us food and Nic you can cover our tracks, by blowing them away." Okay NOW the hobbits will trust us. Typical. Show someone a little magic and suddenly they want to be your friend. "Hey" Lou suddenly said angrily (oh no shes in one of her tempers again) "You think that's ALL I can do. Grow food for stupid little hobbits?" Lous eyes blazed. The patch Id just dried was freezing over. Ice was coming out of the ground to form a statue of sorts. It looked rather like a hobbit. Lou waved her hand and splinters of ice flew towards the ice figure and embedded themselves in it. "DON'T underestimate me. Or next time Ill do that to YOU" The hobbits looked terrified. I smiled at them "Don't mind Lou. She just likes being a perfectionist. As you might have noticed its not a good idea to underestimate her." Frodo looked like he very much agreed. "Shouldn't we get moving?" I suggested to the hobbits. They agreed and we began walking. Suddenly I saw a glint of black out of the corner of my eye, an when I looked closer I could see three or four mounted figures, dressed all in black, riding black horses. I urgently nudged Lou. She followed my gaze. "The Black Riders" she shouted to the hobbits "Quick, hide." Frodo looked terrified. He led the way bravely though to the top of the cliffs, but the riders were gaining on us. What on earth can we do, I thought. We reached the cliffs and the riders attacked
