A Story About
Two Girls
Chapter
Three: Don't Panic
"What was that thing!" River demanded as they hurtled down the road.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Kitta yelled.
"Did you see where it was standing?" River snapped.
"Yes!"
"You could have warned me that you thought there were monsters out there!" Rier yelled.
"I did!" Kittta defended. "I said I was seeing creepy glowing eyes in the trees and that I wasn't getting out of the car!"
"You never get out of the car when we switch drivers! In fact you always say you're not getting out! I didn't take that as a 'River, don't go out there, you might get eaten'!"
"Well excuse me for not allowing my wide eyes and pale face to do the talking for me!" Kitta replied waspishly.
River started to slow the car down. As she pulled to the side of the road and put the car in park she turned the headlights off. She turned the ignition off and put the keys in one pocket.
"What are you doing?" Kitta demanded, eyes narrowed.
"We both need to sleep, Kit, or we'll kill each other."
"Do you think they're far enough behind up?" Kitta asked, looking over her seat out the back window even though she knew she wouldn't be about to see anything in the darkness.
"Seeing as they were on foot and we were going 70 miles an hour, I think so."
"Right, but - "
"Go to sleep, Kitta."
Kitta pulled her hoodie over her head and pulled the hood up. "I don't believe in monsters; 'cause monsters don't exist. They - "
"Shut up, Kitta."

She was being poked. She probably wouldn't have noticed the poking enough to fully wake up if it hadn't been for the fact that she was being poked in the side of the head, but she was. If River thought that waking her up by poking her in the head was a good idea after thenight she'd had, she had another thing coming. Kitta reached up, grabbed the wrist attached to the hand that was poking, opened her eyes, sat up and turned.
And promptly screamed, dropped the wrist like she'd been burned and reared back.
River had not been the one poking her, it seemed. A something had crawled through the broken back driver side window to curl up on the back seat. It was all legs an elbows, with nearly transluscent skin and a few hairs on its head. It was wearing a loincloth and had big eyes that possessed most of it's face.
"Evil human, it is, precious." The thing said in a raspy kind of whine.
"Kitta, what?" River asked as she woke and looked at her frightened cousin. Kitta reached over and grabbed River's head, turning it to look at the thing in the back seat. River's eyes went wide before she rubbed her eyes. Her glasses sat in the cup holder next to her, and her prescription was so mild that she could still see things perfectly clearly before they started blurring at about forty feet away. River pulled on her glasses, it didn't change the view.
"Two of them, there are, precious. Gollum, gollum."
River and Kitta looked at each other, then back at Gollum.
"I think not." River said and reached beneath her seat for the heavy-duty flashlight she kept under it. She yanked the flashlight out and whipped her arm forward. The flashlight hit Gollum and he squealed in pain before backing up toward the window as River climbed into the back seat after him, still railing at him with the flashlight. "Out! Out! Out!"
Gollum climbed out of the window as fast as he could, cursing at the evil human before scamperingoff into the trees. River sat for a moment, clutching the flashlight in a white-knuckled grip and breathing heavily.
"Was that... Gollum?" Kitta asked softly.
"Yes."
"What was he doing in out car?"
"Probably thought it was a good place to sleep last night."
"Are we in Middle Earth?"
"I think so."
"What now?"
River climbed into the driver's seat and stowed the flashlight under it again before reaching over and pulling the bag of pancakes out of the glove compartment and pulling some out. She handed one to Kitta. "I think the key here is to find some kind of civilization."
"How do we do that?"
"We keep driving, and we have a vauge idea if when we are."
"Yeah, somewhere between Bilbo stealing the Ring from Gollum and before the Ring is destroyed." Kitta said with a shudder. "I never want to see Gollum again." River laughed. "Oh, keep laughing, he didn't touch you! "
