~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi woke up to whispering; "who do you think she is?"

"I'm Usagi."

"Oh you're awake so your name is Usagi."

"Yes. What are your names?"

The old lady introduced herself as Marth, and the old man as Roy.

"We found you when we were out picking cherry's, so we brought you back here." Roy said

The old lady's soft voice came in to the conversation as she said, "if you don't have a place to stay you can stay here if you like."

"I was just getting to that Marth" "well I guess that you're getting old because I got to it first" she said grinning at her husband.

As the year went on Usagi got to like Marth and Roy and finally after a year some thing happened something terrible.

The cabin was on fire smoke was everywhere red and orange flaring up wherever you stepped. (I heard Roy calling my name telling me to get outside.) I took no time in getting out of the 2 level cabin, but when I got outside what I saw scared me. I saw Marth and Roy being held at bay by a black rider's sword there were two of them. A feeling of dread crept in to my stomach. Flashes of the scouts lying dead, and blood everywhere.

I screamed trying to draw attention to my self, but it was no use the two riders slit their throats looked at me and started to charge, that's when my training as a sailor scout kicked in I started running to the gate which was the end of their property, the gate led off to the woods where I could hide, and because of all the low hanging trees the horses wouldn't be able to get through.

But I wasn't going to take any chances with stopping, so I kept running until I ran into someone or should I say a group of people and on impact everyone fell to the ground in a tangle of bodies.

"What hit us!"

"How should I know! Merry all I know is that someone's extremely hairy foot is in my face, and hey I think that I see something green growing on it."

"That would be Merrys foot, Pippin."

They heard a groan, and someone say something about having all these people no I mean midgets on her.

Everyone scrambled off to see who or what they landed on, and gasped at what they saw, they saw a girl that looked like a goddess; she had silver hair that reached right below Her butt her hair also had black streaks, and she had skin as pale as moonlight.

"I'm sorry if I ran into you, it was just that I was running from the black riders because they, they."

"They what?" asked Sam

"They killed Roy and Marth!!" She wailed causing them to cover their ears.

"Did you say black riders?" asked Frodo

"Yes why?"

"We've been running from them also." Said merry and Sam elbowed him.

"Why are you running from them?" Serena said, and looked curious.

"Because. well. I have no idea why they're after me."

Usagi nodded, and noted that Frodo had no idea on how to lie.

"Well I'm Usagi." She said, and bowed

"I'm pippin, and might I say, that it is so nice to meet someone as beautiful as yourself."

" I'm merry, and I must agree, your beautiful face, is such a nice break, after being with these buffoons."

"What does that mean merry!"

" What I said pip."

Pippin glared at merry, and merry blew him a raspberry, In return.

Usagi laughed, at them.

"I'm Sam," said the quiet one, who was just looking at merry and pippin as if he did not know them.

Serena looked at the last Halfling "I'm Frodo, and if I might correct you, we are hobbits."

Serena laughed, and put her hand behind her head. "Oh I'm sorry if I offended you."

"You didn't, it's just a common misconception."

"Hey miss Usagi, would you like accompany us to the prancing pony? It's an inn not far from here."

Sam glared at him again.

"We can't just leave a lady stranded in the forest alone at night Sam." Pippin said standing up for merry.

"They're right Sam." Frodo said

Usagi looked around at the forest, "well if it's not to much trouble I'll join you."

Next chapter they meet Aragorn and Gandalf doesn't make it to meet them at the prancing pony.
