Still own nothing.... Dammit!
Chapter 4
Faith and the two prisoners ran on into the forest, until the cries from the battle behind them was long left behind. Exhausted by the stifling feeling in the forest, the three stopped and began to drink from a stream making its way though the dense forest. Eventually, after all three were revived the questions began.
"Who are you?" Asked one of the two prisoners in wonder after finally taking a good look at Faith, noticing her tight black leather trousers, black heeled boots and blood red tank top. Not missing her dark eyeshadow and dark red lipstick.
"I'm Faith." Responded Faith. "And you are who and what please?" she'd seen their furry feet.
"I'm Peregrine Took and he's Meriadoc Brandybuck. But you can call us Pippin and Merry, everybody does. We're Hobbits." Came the response from the first his eyes still wide gazing at Faith.
"And you were taken prisoner because?"
"Because of the..." Pippin began
"Pippin!" Merry whispered angrily as he elbowed him "We're not supposed to talk about the you know what."
Faith rolled her eyes. Great, she thought, just great. I'm stuck here with these two 'hobbits' and I haven't got a clue what's going on and they won't tell me "and I still don't know where I am." She finished saying the last thought aloud.
"You don't know where you are? How d'you mean?" Asked Merry looking puzzled.
"I mean, where am I? What land? What planet? What dimension? What galaxy?" Faith asked and then "Is this place Plrtz Glrb?"
The hobbits looked confused. Obviously not the same place where Angel went, noted Faith, oh well at least that's one place less to consider. "Where am I?" She asked again louder than last time and looked at the two hobbits.
"You're in middle earth. But where in middle earth I couldn't say, we don't know ourselves." Pippin spoke up this time, beginning to look a little sad as he confessed that they were lost.
"Ok. Fine. Good. Whatever." She looked around and saw a little sunlight breaking through the forest. "We'll make for that and see where we are."
"How can we trust you?" Asked Merry getting up bravely and glaring at her.
"I just saved your life you moron. Are you coming or not?"
The two hobbits glanced at each other as Faith set off towards the light. Pippin shrugged his shoulders and the two ran to catch up with her as she walked away.
They finally got to the break in the trees and Faith felt the cool breeze on her face as she saw they'd come a few miles in from the edge of the forest. The light was beginning to fade. Pippin remarked, "This shaggy old forest looked so different in the sunlight. I almost felt I liked the place."
"Almost felt you liked the forest!" Faith jumped and turned swiftly as a voice came out of nowhere. " That's good! That's uncommonly kind of you. You're hasty I see." Faith and the hobbits were confronted by a tall figure which was like nothing Faith had ever seen before. The hobbits obviously hadn't seen anything like it either. She grasped her sword warily.
"Who are you and what are you?" Pippin asked. Good question, thought Faith still holding the sword.
"Well I am an Ent, or that's what they call me. Yes Ent is the word. The Ent, I am, you might say in your manner of speaking. Fangorn is my name according to some, Treebeard others make it. Treebeard will do."
He glanced at Faith and the hobbits. "Human, and what are you?"
"We're hobbits" came the answer. "Peregrine Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck, but you can call us Pippin and Merry." Faith shook her head in bemusement. If I'd have known the introductions were going to happen here I wouldn't have asked earlier. She realised that Treebeard was talking to her and looked up.
"And you are?"
"I'm Faith."
"Hmm, hasty folk as well you humans. What with the orcs and Saruman these days and Gandalf too."
"You know Gandalf?" asked Pippin.
"The only wizard to care about trees." Treebeard looked at Pippin and Merry closely. "I like news. But not too quick now. Let us go."
Go? Go where exactly? Faith wondered, but suddenly she felt herself lifted off the ground by Treebeard. I'm being kidnapped by a tree!
Treebeard covered the ground swiftly in his way, taking great strides with Faith in one arm and the two hobbits in the other. He explained that he was a tree-herd and that the forest was his flock. There were others of his kind in the forest too. Finally they came upon what Faith thought must be a house for an Ent. Eventually after giving them refreshment and then asked them to tell their story. The two hobbits looked at each other and then at Faith. Faith groaned. "Fine I'll go first then. I was inside a building (she neglected to mention that it was a jail) I shut my eyes and then I opened them to find that I was here. It was day there and night here. I'm not from middle earth, I'm from earth. And I'm a vampire slayer. And that's it" She folded her arms across her chest and looked at the hobbits and Treebeard. The hobbits began their tale, interrupting each other constantly, explaining about the Ring, the Fellowship and their kidnap by the Uruk-hai and orcs.
Their tale finished and Treebeard advised them to get some rest. Faith sunk down to sleep like the two hobbits and Treebeard left them to sleep.
