Chapter 2

That night a great fog moves in causing the dogs to yelp, and a faint galloping is heard. Faramir wakes right away and quickly wakes the others.
"What is happening?" Sam asks. "Is it the Ring Wraiths?"
"I think it might," replies Faramir. "Let's quickly make dummies to fool the Nazgûl into thinking that we are there."
In the meantime there are voices downstairs, and Faramir tells everyone to hide. They then hear Mr. Brumble, the owner of the Prancing Pony, come up the stairs with someone. The company hears the footsteps come to a stop, and they see the doorknob turn. All of a sudden, they see the figure of a woman standing in the door with Mr. Brumble standing next to her.
"Éowyn, what are you doing here?" Faramir asks while coming out of his hiding place.
"I came to help you because I that many of the Nazgûl are running around looking for Sam," she replies. "Merry are you frightened by me?"
"No, I just thought one of those creepy ass Black Riders showed up. Éollyne comforted me though."
"Merry you are too cute," Éollyne says pinching his cheeks. "And by the way, you can call me Lyne."
"OK, Lyne," Merry replies fainting because he is in love. While he faints, everyone starts to laugh.

When Merry wakes up he notices that he is riding on his horse with Lyne. He realizes that she looks beautiful with her long, golden blonde hair flowing in the wind.
"Where am I?" asks Merry sounding very confused.
"You're on you way to Rivendel where we will be spending the night," Lyne replies. "We will be heading to Lothloriàn tomorrow. We are only making this much haste because we want to beat the winter weather crossing the mountains."
"OK, Lyne"
"Merry, I have a question for you."
"Anything for you."
"Do you have a crush on me?" There is silence for a while until Faramir gives them the signal to run at full speed across the dam. "Hold that thought Merry."
There is some grumbling from behind Lyne, and then there is silence because Merry faints as soon as he thinks he sees a Black Rider which he really doesn't.
"Not again," Lyne mumbles to herself as she gets Merry's horse off to a gallop.
