Coming out of Bree, the hobbits are following Strider and Aniron, not too
close though. Watching the rangers intently, many thoughts crossed Frodo's
mind. He now realized, fully, what he had gotten himself involved in.
"Where are you taking us?" Frodo asked, worry sketching into his face.
"Into the Wild." Strider replied simply, not pausing from his climb to stop and look to the hobbit. Aniron followed close behind, not having much to say. For too many things were going round in her head.
Coming up to Frodo was Merry; a little worry is hidden in his eyes as he whispered to Frodo.
"How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf's?" Merry whispered. "And also, this Aniron. She seems a little...suspicious. Don't you think?" Merry paused, waiting for Frodo to reply. When he didn't, he began again. "Frodo?"
"We have no choice but to trust him; and Aniron." Frodo replied, his eyes directed only on Strider.
"But where is he leading us?" Sam interrupts.
"To Rivendell, Master Gamgee." Strider said over his shoulder. "To the House of Elrond."
A smile came to Sam's face. Seeing the smiling face of Samwise caused Aniron to chuckle quietly to herself. It was the first smiling face she had seen in it seemed ages.
"Did you hear that? Rivendell! We're going to see the elves!" Sam exclaimed.
Strider stopped for a moment, surveying the land and giving the hobbits time to catch up. When he looked back, he saw them unpacking their kitchen utensils. He guessed what their minds were on, but it wasn't that hard to figure. Aniron went ahead, scouting the land around them.
"Gentlemen! We do not stop 'til nightfall." Strider said, a little impatient.
"What about breakfast?" Pippin inquires innocently.
"We've already had it." Strider argues with the hobbit.
"We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?" Pippin replies back. Strider shakes his head and continues forth as Sam, Frodo, and Merry put away their things.
"Don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip." Merry said jokingly to Pippin.
"What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them doesn't he?" Pippin said frantically.
"I wouldn't count on it." Merry replied in a slight sarcastic tone. Suddenly from over a bush, Strider tossed an apple and Merry caught it. Handing it to Pippin, Merry patted him lightly on the shoulder; quite amused at Strider's little trick. Suddenly, another apple was airborne, hitting Pippin in the head. Looking up bewildered, Pippin searched the sky.
"Pippin!" Merry shouted impatiently. Aniron, waiting at the foot of the hill, laughed aloud at the scene. To the innocent ears of the hobbits, her laughter was very comforting. None of them could describe what it was so soothing about her voice. But, none of them complained either. For this was something they needed as they started the long, dreadful journey.
The sun was hidden behind the clouds all day long as they all traveled. Overcast skies gave away an omen of bad news: rain and storms. Luckily, it never occurred.
Though the hobbits had nothing to fear about rain, they had the two rangers they could trust, right? Sam always shook his head at that; especially where their journey was going. Suddenly, Sam noticed what they were heading into.
"Where are you taking us? What is this?" Sam asked, stopping in his tracks.
"As I said before, Master Gamgee, into the Wild. This part has no name. Though I consider it a shortcut." Strider replied, making his through the debris.
"Not a "shortcut", I hope," said Pippin. "Our last short cut through the Old Forest nearly ended in disaster!"
"Ah, but you had not got me with you then." Strider laughed.
