The Attack
I walked behind Sam as Strider led us up a hill , but as the hill got steeper my legs grew tired and I started to leg behind. I wasn't paying
attention to were I was walking and ran into Sam's back when Strider stopped.
"This was the great watch tower of Amal Sul, we shall rest here tonight," Strider said looking over at me; he could tell that I was tired.
I shrugged off my pack and sat down between Sam and Pippin; I felt like falling asleep right then, and I would have if Sam had not nudged me with his arm when Strider walked up to us. He took out a blanket he had been carrying and unwrapped it, reveling four small swords.
"These are for you," said Strider as he looked up. I took it half way out of the sheath and looked at it.
"Keep them close, I'm going to have a look around," said Strider standing up then looked down at me. "Stay here and try to get some sleep." Then he was gone.
I knew it was mostly directed at me for none of the other where even looking at him. I did what I was told; I curled up in my cloak and closed my eye soon I fell into a light sleep. Sometime later I heard talking; I opened my eyes and turned around to see Merry, Pippin, and Sam sitting around a fire.
"What are you doing," I asked getting to my feet as fast as I could.
"Tomatoes, sausages, and nice crispy bacon," said Merry as he smiled at me.
"We saved some for you Mr. Frodo," said Sam holding out a plate to me.
I ignored it and rushed forward. "Put it out you fools, put it out." I yelled as I stomped out the fire with my foot.
Then I hear it, a screeching sound, I looked down and saw five black riders circling the base of the hill. I looked up at my two cousins and my best friend, they just stood like they were in a trance. I pulled out my sword shook the others and at the same time Yelling, "Go."
I waited for them to move and went behind them up to the summit of Weather Top, we got into a circle and went around the whole summit, I turned and saw all five of the black riders coming at me, I didn't know what to do, I started to back up, It took me a little while but I finally realized I had backed up all the way and now Sam Merry and Pippin where in front of me; Sam said something that I couldn't hear over the roar of the wind, I saw the black rider push Sam down hard on the rocks.
Merry and Pippin got in front of me but they were shoved out of the way too, which left me face to face with five black riders.
I dropped my sword and started to go back again but this time I tripped. I looked in my pocket and pulled out the ring and looked at it. The one in front took out a knife alone with a long sword, started walking toward me, I scrambled back until I was against a fallen king, I felt the strong urge to put on the ring, I inched it toward my finger closer and closer.
Suddenly the ring slipped on my finger and immediately the shapes became horribly clear, the black cloaks were gone reveling dead like kings underneath. I didn't know what to do I had no were to go, I was down as far as I could go. The black rider that was coming at me raised his hand and tried to get the ring off my finger but at the last minute I pulled my hand back and hid the ring under my other hand. The black rider raised his sword and down on me. I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder.
I cried out in pain then Strider jumped in front of me, fighting them away from.
With my last strength I pulled the ring off my finger and close my right hand tightly upon it.

Just to let you know I wrote this when I was about fourteen years old so it might sound a little young for a twenty year old, but please review and let me know what you think. Should I keep going?
