I awoke to the voice of my father. "Fatima, wake up we have to start early today, we have lots of work to do before the sun goes down." I opened my eyes and father's dark, mysterious eyes staring back at me. At first I thought I was dreaming. Then I sat up and realised that it was reality.

"Father, what is the time?" I asked with a croaky voice I didn't recognise at first.

"Daughter it is has been an hour since the sun has risen." He replied. "We have to start working as soon as possible, we have to bring your mother all the grown vegetables so she can sell then in the market place today."

"Yes father, I just need a few minutes and I will be ready." I replied. I rose from my bed and changed into my working clothes. As I was changing I remembered the dream I had. It was about the creature or whatever it was I saw in Fangorn forest. I just kept seeing something move within the trees. "I shall explore the forest when I have some time." I said to myself. My father didn't like me going into the forest but I was too stubborn.

"Fatima I'm leaving, are you ready?" He called to me. I took my sword from beside my bed and put it into my bag, then I quickly tied up my hair picked up my bag, and ran into the kitchen. I picked and an apple and took bite from it. I walked outside in search of my father. As I walked outside the sun stung my eyes. I squinted and looked around for my father. "Move along Fatima." I heard my father's voice from behind me. I turned around and there he was.

"I thought you had already left. Where were you?" I asked confused. I hadn't seen him inside so I assumed he had left.

"I was around the back. Come on we have to get to work. It such a beautiful morning." He said cheerfully.

"I guess if you like the hot weather." I replied. I didn't really like hot weather. I liked the cold and the rain. I followed my father through the town. The Wold is a fairly large town at the north of Rohan. Rohan now has a new king, King Eomer, the nephew of the previous King Theoden. King Theoden died in a war against evil in Gondor. This is when Sauron was in search of his great ring of power, which was destroyed by Frodo Baggins and Gollum.

Frodo was a hobbit who found the ring and was the keeper. He then went onto a quest to destroy it. I have never seen a hobbit but they are said to be brave. My father said the bravest hobbit was Samwise Gamgee. He was Frodo's protector. It is said he is married now with two girls. I would like to one day visit Hobbiton. In my father's stories of the great ring he said that Frodo has now passed into Valinor. He was a ring keeper and they are the only people besides elves who can cross into the lands of the undying.

My favourite story is that of Frodo, the hobbits and the great ring of power. The fellowship they were called. There were two men Aragorn, King of Gondor, Boromir of Gondor, Legolas an elf, Gimli son of Gloin a dwarf, and four hobbits, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Branybuck, and Peregrin Took. My father said that Legolas is an elf from Mirkwood and he still lives there now. Mirkwood is not far from The Wold; it is on the other side of The Great River Anduin, which runs alongside The Wold. It is a two-day walk from The Wold.

When we arrived at the fields my father went straight to work. I followed him and began picking the ripened fruit. As I picked the fruit and vegetables, I was thinking about my dream. Every now and again I looked towards Fangorn forest just hoping to see some movement. I didn't see anything. The trees were still and no creatures moved within them. There were no birds in sight either which was very strange. The trees of Fangorn were always full of cheerful, singing birds.

I had been working for about 2 hours and was beginning to feel hot and tired. "Fatima, you look tired. How about you rest while I go and take these fruit and vegetables to your mother." He said. My father also looked very tired. I was to exhausted to argue.

"But only if you promise me that you will also rest. Stay at home for an hour or so and rest. You look very tired to." I said worried. My father nodded and we started piling the fruit and vegetables into a cart and my father dragged it towards the house. I walked towards to apple tree and picked an apple and took a big bite into it. I sat on the ground and then took another bite. The apple tasted very sweet.

I found my eyes wondering towards Fangorn forest. I stare at it for a while. There were still no birds. But then all of a sudden I saw something move. It didn't look like a human or any animal I know. Expecting excitement I got up off the ground and walked towards Fangorn forest. But then I realised I had forgotten my bag. I turned around picked up my bag and walk towards the forest once again, not knowing I was walking towards danger.
