Chapter 5: The Greetings
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Merry said letting go of Frodo "Yeah, that's what I would like to know." Pippin said letting go of Frodo and leaving him in Sam's arms. "Are you an Elf?" Sam asked dropping Frodo. Frodo looked up at all his friends and then started mumbling things under his breath. "They call me Lady of the Forest." The young girl said pushing blonde hair behind her ear. "Elle, is that you?" Aragorn asked curiously. "Yes, it is, how do you know that?" "It's me Aragorn." "ARAGORN!" Elle yelled as she ran and gave him a hug. "Long time no see, right?" He said checking her over. "Last time I remember seeing you is when you were 5." Elle said. "And my my my how you've grown into a handsome young man." "Sorry lady you can't have him he's Arwen's." Pippin butted in. "Oh he is, is he?" She said giving Aragorn a weird looked. Aragorn turned a light shade of red. "Yeah, she's my girl." "I always new she'd get the best guys." Elle said crossing her arms. "Where is she anyway? Not like her to skip out on an adventure." "She said she had to go somewhere, but wouldn't say where." "Oh, she probably went to the fairy kingdom." Elle said thinking out loud "The Fairies, but they won't do anything for a human." Aragorn told her. "Then I don't know where." Elle replied. "I knew it, she abandoned us!" Pippin yelled out of nowhere. Everyone looked at him and he turned red "Opps." "Let's get some rest, now, we have along way to go tomorrow." Said Aragorn grabbing his bag. "Okay. But one more thing Aragorn, where are you guys heading?" Elle asked with a slight tilt of her head. "We are heading to Rivendell to find out where to go from there." "Really so are we." "Go on, Elle, You asked your question get ready for bed." "Okay." With that Elle, her companions, Aragorn and four hobbits all climbed into bed and fell fast asleep. Frodo stayed up half the night watching and listening to the quietness around him. 'I wonder what will happen to everyone if we don't succeed? I wonder what will happen if we do? I wish I had never gotten the ring.' He turned his head down as tears gathered into his eyes. Frodo sat there crying for a while. When he heard horse not to far off. He ran over to Aragorn. "Aragorn! Aragorn they're here wake up!" Aragorn shot up. "What? Where?" "I don't know but, I can hear the horses." "Help me get the others up and into hiding," Aragorn said standing up and walking over Elle and her company. "Elle, get up and get your company someplace safe." "Why? What's wrong Aragorn?" She said sitting up. "The wraiths are close. Get up and get your company to a safe place." He said standing up and looking at the four hobbits "Ok, guys follow me." He said walking over to a rock. " Like we're all going to sit behind a rock trying to hide while your out there fighting for your life." Merry said. "Who said anything about hiding behind it, you guys are going to hide in it." "WHAT!" They all said. "Don't worry you'll be safe, watch." He looked around the back of the rock and hit something. "Ah here we go." The rock opened up and the hobbits looked into a huge room. "Wow" Frodo said. "Okay no time to waste get in." He rushes them in and closes the rock. He looks around and sees that Elle and her company have been safely hidden out of sight. He pulls out he's sword and is ready to fight. "Aragorn, don't you'll be killed." He heard a voice say. "I must protect everyone even if it means my own death." He replied and then there was no answer. He stared into the darkness waiting to see something. When he realizes 3 horses with caped riders come up the hill and stop right in front off him.
