Hi, I promised would update soon and I have. This chapter is a little longer than the last ao without further ado here's the fic.

PS I own nothing, zilch, nada. Everything is in the wonderful hands of Joss Whedon and JRR Tolkien.



"Look you guys go on ahead and find someone who can invite me in. I'll stay here and ah ...." inspiration striking "guard the car" Angel said. "Angel are you sure you want us to go on without you?" asked a concerned Wesley " we could always go around the barrier on this place and go elsewhere" "No Wesley, you should go on without me, if this barrier is enough to keep me out, then it should work equally well on any nasties that are lurking about 'round here, now go" he reiterated pointing across the river " the sooner you go, the sooner you'll find someone to invite me in, or is it that you don't trust me to guard my own car?" asked Angle with his patented half- smile.

While they were still arguing about what to do on the banks of the river, the border to Elrond's land, Arwen, daughter to Lord Elrond came hurtling down the embankment to the river with young Frodo as if the hounds of Hell themselves were after her. She urged her horse to even greater speeds as she crossed the river, the border to her father's land. When she had reached the relative safety of the opposite bank she stopped abruptly and turned her horse back to face the direction from whence she had come.

Angel and Co were left to stand and stare at her. It seemed that she had not seen the strange motley group before her which contained within its ranks one ensouled vampire, one former Queen of Pyleea who was also among other things a gifted seer and one former member of the Watchers Council. They were indeed a strange group but Arwen had her mind elsewhere and did not pay them any heed. She was concentrating all her power on being able to call forth the waters of the river in front of her at just the right moment.

Cordelia had been preparing to call out to her to get her attention when she felt something all the hairs on the back of her neck stood upright when she recognised what it was she was feeling. None of her years growing up on the hellmouth or her subsequent two years of battling evil with the use of her visions with Angel had prepared her for this.

Her blood froze and a chill ran up and down her spine as she turned to face the demons that had haunted her nightmares ever since that demon that had raised Darla had made her visions go out of control last year, she had seen vague images of them but had not known who or what they were. She had seen the evil they had done, the evil they were capable of doing, She had seen their master the Dark lord Sauron as well. She had no idea what they were and had really never wanted to find out exactly what she had been seeing in visions at night under the guise of harmless nightmares. it seemed that was to be only wishful thinking. She left out a bloodcurdling scream as they rode past and the rest of the group without so much as a glance in their direction so intent were they on their purpose of retrieving the ring of power for their Dark Lord Sauron.





The waters of the river came rushing forth at the command of Arwen. It seemed to the onlookers that a herd of angry horses were riding the crest of the waves themselves intent on mowing down the evil that had attempted to cross the border into the Last Homely House of Lord Elrond and his people, all nine of the Ringwraiths were toppl;ed from their steeds and washed away. They were left to stand and stare dumbfounded at the place they had previously occupied only moments before.

Arwen satisfied that the Nine posed no immidate threat turned her horse and resumed her journey deep into her father's land, in the hope of saving the young hobbit which now lay almost daed behind her. She had seen the strange travellers before her on the oppisite bank but seeing as she sensed no great evil from them and as time was of the essence she left them to their own devices knowing that the ward's around the land would protect them. Also Aragorn was only a little behind her, he could deal with them as she had more pressing matters to attend to.





I know I'm evil. (hehehe!!!) I just love living it on a cliffhanger. Dont worry the next chapter is almost done and will posted in the next few days until then please review!!!
