Author's note: Ok, now I kinda left u dudes and dudetts in like a cliffhanger. But the cliffhanger wasn't that good, I hafta admit, I'm terrible at them. Well anyways right now it's not much of a LOTR story, but it'll be one. Just hafta hang on. Well that's basically it, hope u like.

I own nobody from LOTR but the rest of the characters r mine.

          Vanima was called down for dinner just when she was about to begin reading. It seemed whenever she wanted to read there was some type of interruption. The list started with dinner and ending with annoying calls from telemarketers.

            Vanima quickly ran downstairs and sat down. She quickly said grace and started to devour the food. "Vanima darling, I'm wondering if they're starving you at that school of yours. You're never in a hurry to eat and this is the first time I've ever seen you do that." All Vanima did was look up at her mother. When Vanima was finished she quickly did the dishes and ran to her bedroom and waited for Erin to call her.

Vanima quickly sat up and looked at her clock. "Goddamnit, it's 1 in the morning. I thought I could trust Erin, but. Argh, she's getting me so mad." Vanima, after deciding she couldn't go back to sleep, picked up her book and started to read.

Finally at 1:30 Vanima was interrupted by her telephone. Vanima looked at it doubtingly. Her heart was beating rapidly, afraid that it would be some older man trying to stalk her. Wincing she picked up the receiver,

"Hello?"
"Hey Vanima, it's Erin. So sorry I couldn't call earlier. I had a few unexpected guests over. So um is it ok if you come over now?"

"Erin, you scared me half to death!" after a long pause Vanima continued,

"Well everyone's asleep, so I guess it wouldn't hurt. How am I supposed to get in? I mean like everyone at your house is asleep too I suspect." There was another long pause while Erin thought for a while.

"Well you can just like meet me in my front yard. Ok?"
"Fine by me."
"Great then operation 'Vanima get to Erin's house' is on. Bye."

Vanima was left giggling at the quick name Erin had given to this easy assignment.

            As Vanima ran down the street she quickly scanned for on coming cars and spying neighbors. Vanima met Erin in her front yard. From there they quickly made their way in.

            Erin closed her door behind her quietly. Erin sat down, they both stared at each other. It was that way for a while. "So Erin, uh where's the thing you wanted to show me?"

Erin looked at Vanima and got up hesitantly. She opened up a drawer underneath her windowseat. "This." There was something small and hard inside a small velvet pouch. "Can I see what's in there?" Erin looked at Vanima again. "Fine, but what's in here is not to toyed around with, understand? I'm not even sure how it completely works. So, yea." Vanima nodded her head in agreement. "Ok, here I go." And with that Erin opened up the pouch.

Yea I kno, lame. Well like I said my plot still isn't completely finished, so I'm making random things up. And I hafta admit, I stole the drawer under the windowseat from dragon tales *snickers. Well plz don't sue me. Well newayz, hope you like it so far. Bye! Oh and I hope my next chapter to be up soon. *^-^
