Disclaimer: None mine! Except for Remi and Hikari and Pheneus and Ryu! Them I made up!

A/N: I hope you enjoy this next chapter. Please no flames, but if you do, I won't pay attention (God, you people have been flaming me like... Okay if you think this story is crap DONT REVIEW OR READ IT!). And I see some mistakes in my previous chapter, but I'm not sure how to edit, so if you know how, please inform. Aragorn says "You'll taste my blade." After Remi ((my fake name)) there is no s. I was saving and the computer messed up. Oh, and after I go to Aragorn room there are supposed to be stars, but they didn't show up.

Chapter 2- The Road to Rivendale

We are walking through a forest, and the hobbits won't shut up. Strider and I have been communicating by the telekinesis. It is the simple process of Strider thinking, me reading his mind and sending back a message. Strider seems less hostile towards me, almost fond of me. I allow myself to like him a little, because he is an outcast like me.

I don't think the hobbits trust us, Strider observes.

What do you expect? I answer sarcastically, A vampire, and an outcast ranger. Not a very friendly sounding pair are we?

I suppose not, Strider replies.

Beautiful, I didn't think I'd find you again.

I tense and think to myself, Could that have been Strider? No, the voice was different. It was... younger. I've heard it before, it was-

My eyes open wide, -Pheneus!

I don't realize that I have sent this to him with my mind, until Pheneus answer's, Hey Beautiful, considered my request for a kiss yet?

Shut up, I answer. Vampires like to pick fights with each other, each provoking the other to strike back with words.

Make me, Pheneus answers.

Leave. My tone is challenging, and dangerous.

Pheneus's response has a smirk in it, I'll be back for you, Beautiful.

The hobbits seem to be talking, and I use my supernatural hearing to understand.

"How do we know we can trust this 'Strider'?" Merry asks Frodo.

"I-I don't know," Frodo confesses, "But I think that the enemy would look fairer, but feel fowler."

Merry grimaces, "He's fowl enough."

"Where is he taking us?" Sam asks, not as quiet.

"To Rivendale, Master Gamgee," Strider answers.

Sam seems surprised that Strider heard him. I'm not. Sam is loud. Even a pitiful mortal could hear that

"Did you hear that?" Sam asks stupidly, "We're goin' to see the elves!"

Well no shit, Sherlock. Are hobbits really that thick?

It is night, and I am sitting quietly, watching. I blend into the shadows perfectly. A dull pain is pounding in my body. I need blood. I stroke Hikari's back, and wait for Strider to finish eating.

Once I see that he has had his fill, I walk into the light of the fire, followed by Hikari.

Strider looks up, "Remi?"

"I'm thirsty," I announce.

Pippin continues eating, "We have some water left, I'm sure."

Frodo and Sam nod, but Merry stares at me, "Pip, I don't think she wants water."

Pippin looks blankly at Merry, "But we don't have any ale."

I smile devilishly, "Not ale, nor water, hobbit."

Pippin's expression is confused, "Well what then?"

I advance on him, so that my face is inches from his, "Blood."

My eyes flash, bringing out their blood-red color. Pippin falls backwards, terrified.

I laugh, "Don't worry I wont drink your blood.It would just make me stupid."

Strider holds out a tin, "I did not forget you. Once the deer was dead, I was able to drain it of it's blood."

I take it gratefully, "Thank you."

I take a long drink, then realize that the hobbits are staring at me. I flash my fangs in a smile, and hold the bottle out to Frodo, "Care for some?"

He crawls backwards, shaking his head. I never realized how amusing tormenting hobbits would be. I shrug, "Your loss."

I walk over to a shadowy spot, and lie down. Hikari curls up next to me. I smile and pet her, "G'night, puss."

Hikari licks my hand with her raspy tongue, "Mew."

I close my eyes, and fall asleep.

We have traveled through swamps, flatlands, and bogs. And of course the hobbits have been slowing Strider and I down. We finally reach a rest point, which is like a tower or something. It's hard to describe, and Strider gives it's name, but I am not paying attention.

We climb, and when we reach the top, Strider hands each hobbit a sword, "Keep them close, you might need them."

Strider looks at me, "And you Remi?"

I hold out my hand, and with barely any effort at all, a black energy ball starts forming it my hand. I close my palm, and it disappears, "I'll be fine."

Strider nods, "Watch over the hobbits. I'm going to scout out the land."

I nod. The hobbits look like they'd rather have Strider here than me. I ignore this, and sink into he shadows, Hikari following me.

Merry calls out to me, "Vampire, show yourself."

My voice comes from the darkness, "Why?"

Merry hesitates, then answers, "Your eyes glow a blood-red color. It is hard to relax when they are the only thing in the shadows."

I shrug, "Screw you."

"Mind your language, Beautiful." Come another voice from behind me, deeper in the shadows.

I turn, "Pheneus, why are you here?"

Pheneus inches closer, and I can see him with my night vision. Ryu is with him, and the male cat and Hikari become engaged in a conversation of cat speak. He answers, "I no longer want a kiss."

I growl, "Then what do you want?"

He smirks, "A vampiric kiss."

"A vampiric kiss? No."

He crawls his hand up my neck, "C'mon Beautiful."

I jump back, but stay in the shadows. I hide the smile from my voice, because I do enjoy the company of a vampire, especially when I've been around hobbits, "Never."

"Um, hello?" Frodo calls to the shadows, his voice shaky, "We're still here."

Pheneus, Ryu, Hikari, and I all turn to look at the hobbits. Four pairs of blood-red eyes staring at the hobbits, with nothing else visible. The hobbits back away, obviously not wanting to get involved in a fight.

Pheneus and I turn back to each other, while Ryu and Hikari hiss at each other.

"See you around, Beautiful," Pheneus says, "Ryu, come."

Both fly away into the night, leaving Hikari and I staring.

I hear Sam sigh, and mutter, "Vampires. How did I get into this?"

I pay no attention, still thinking. A vampiric kiss: When two vampires intertwine their destinies by draw a small amount of blood from each other. I decide to go join Strider, "Take care of yourself, hobbits. I'm going to go look for Strider."

Next Scene:

"...isn't it Remi?" Strider finishes.

I look at him, "Huh?"

Strider rolls his eyes, "Have you been listening to a word I said?"

"What?"

Strider looks concerned, "Are you okay? You seem spacey."

I shake my head, "No, I'm fine Strider."

It is Hikari's turn to roll her eyes at me, "Mew. Miewmow mow Mimowew."

"No!" I answer.

Strider raises his eyebrow, "Um..."

I shrug, "Sorry."

The three of us scout around for a time. It is calming to me. We are under a dark stormy sky, but I fear nothing. After a time, I become aware of a flickering light coming from the hobbit's resting spot.

I grit my teeth, "Strider..."

Strider directs his attention to the spot that I am staring at, he too grits his teeth, "The idiots have lighted a fire."

I look at Strider, "Get some fire, and come as soon as possible."

Strider seems taken aback, "And you?"

"I can fly, and so can Hikari. We'll get there much quicker. Now go."

I have reach the top of the tower, or whatever it is. Like I said, I wasn't listening to Strider. The hobbits and I are surrounded by Nazgúl.

"Fucking brilliant," I breathe, "You dumbasses don't even know when to not light a fire."

Merry whispers, "Why don't you fly away?"

Merry is the only hobbit who seems brave enough to talk back to me. I answer, "Because it wouldn't do anything for you hobbits. The Nazgúl do not seek me, they would only ignore me. Besides, you hobbits are as weak as kittens."

Hikari runs forward, causing the Nazgúl to momentarily look away. I take this moment to start forming a Dark spell. Hey, animal counterparts are a lot of help.

I see that one Nazgúl is heading for Hikari. It's gonna take a lot more than that to get her.

Just as the Nazgul lunges for Hikari, I jump forward, "Try it!"

The energy sphere in my hand shoots out in a beam of swirling darkness. It hits dead on, and the Nazgúl is sent flying back. Unfortunately, the force of the spell sends me flying back as well. I see two black cats run over to the hobbits and cast a protective shield.

Two? I must have hit my head, I tell myself.

Suddenly, and Nazgúl charges at me, Oh crap.

I see a dark figure jump in front of me, and a Dark shield explode from his hands, "Pheneus!"

The Nazgúl are sent flying back, screeching uproariously. They slam against archways. I see them unsheathe their blades. Not a good sign.

Pheneus extends his hand to me, his face solemn, "Watch yourself, Beautiful."

I nod, and take his hand, "Thanks."

We run over to where the hobbits are. Hikari and Ryu's shield is waning. All of a sudden it disappears, and the Nazgúl charge. Sam dives one way. Merry grabs Pippin's arm, and pulls him to the right. Pheneus and I grab our cats and jump, using our wings to propel us high into the air. We let go, and our cats fall about a foot in the air. They recover quickly, and fly up to us, not the least bit shaken. The four of us land easily.

However, Frodo doesn't seem to have gotten the fact that the Nazgul are searching for him. He simply falls over, and crawls backwards. He backs up against an archway.

I see a glint of gold as Frodo slips the ring out of his pocket, and onto his finger. Pheneus and I jump forward, yelling in unison, "FRODO, NO!"

It is too late. I see Frodo hold out the Ring to the Nazgúl. Just as one of the kings is about to take it, Frodo's hand snaps back.

The fallen king plunged his sword into Frodo's chest. Frodo screams, and starts whimpering. The other hobbits run over to him. Pheneus, Hikari, Ryu, and myself jump into action. Hikari and Ryu cast a huge shielding spell around Pheneus and, rendering us untouchable. Pheneus and I combine a spell. I cast a Fire spell, and he casts a Dark spell. They mix together, and significantly weaken the Nazgúl. At this moment, Strider runs in with torches, and manages to chase the Nazgúl off.

Aragorn ran over to Frodo, and picked up the sword lying next to him, "Damn. Frodo, hold on."

All the hobbits were crowded around Frodo. Sam looked at Aragorn, "Will he be alright?"

Aragorn shook his head, "We only have so much time before he becomes one of them."

Aragorn glanced over at Remi, and was surprised to see her talking to a boy about her age. He too, had a black cat.

Perhaps it is a brother, Aragon thought to himself.

But then, Aragorn was surprised to hear the boy say, "Take care, Beautiful."

Remi answered, "Will you be at Rivendale?"

The boy smiled, "If you want me to."

He and his black cat then flew off.

A/N: End of chapter two (finally). Next chapter, we should reach Rivendale. Just so you know, when it's italics for a while, it means it's in another character's point of view. I hope you enjoyed (although from the number of flames I received, I guess not...). If you want to be a vampire that appears at Rivendale, send it in your review.
