Gandalf had led the four of us right outside Farmer Maggots crops. He told us to take the ring to Bree and meet him at the Prancing Pony. We entered the crops and started with our adventure.

'Got a headache Andrea?' I asked her, smiling.

'Be quiet.'

Frodo sighed. 'Yeah, this is going to be a real joy with you two barking at each other.'

'Well, Sam can be your serious friend, while we have all then fun!' Andrea said.

'Where is Sam anyway?' Andrea asked while looking behind us for Sam.

'Frodo, Andrea...Frodo?' Sam shouted and we continued down the path to our left to find Sam running up to us 'I thought I was left behind without you guys.'

'What do you mean Sam?' I asked.

'Well, its something Gandalf said. 'Don't you lose them, Samwise Gamgee' and I don't intend to.'

'Oh come of it Sam! We're still in the Shire!' Andrea stated. 'I mean really, what could happen.'

'Ack!' The next think I knew, I looked over and saw Andrea with Merry ontop of her.

'Andrea! Pippin! Its Andrea!' Merry pushed his face close to hers.

'Yeah and Frodo is here too!' Pippin chimed in as Sam grabbed him and flung him off Frodo 'Sam and Alysha are here too!'

'Merry get off me.'

Merry chuckled. 'Yeah sorry.' He got up of Andrea and helped her to her feet. Then he picked up the veggies he dropped beside him.

'Hold these.' Merry handed Sam a bunch of the vegetables.

'You've been stealing from Farmer Maggots crops!' Sam exclaimed.

'I'm going to get you, you lil' dirty thieves!' We heard a new voice behind us.

Merry grabbed me and Andrea and hauled us off. Pippin grabbed Frodo, they pushed us foward. 'RUN!' We kept on running until we reached a small cliff, we all stopped except for Sam who ran into the back of the line sending us all flying downward.

'Ow, dude!'

'Sorry Andrea.'

'Ouch Merry!'

'Sorry Pippin.'

Somehow, I ended up with everyone ontop of me.

'I've broken something, I know it.' Merry pulled a carrot from underneath him. 'Oh.'

'Never trust a Brandybuck and a Took!' Sam exclaimed, helping everyone up.

'Yeah right. That was just a detour, a shortcut!' Merry smiled while brushing himself off.

'Shortcut to what?' Sam said sarcastically.

'Mushrooms!' Pippin squealed as he, Merry, and Sam ran over to a small patch on the side of the road, and grabbing they're bags and filling them full.

I looked down the road, I caught Andrea's eye on the way and she mouthed 'I sense it too'.

'I think we should get of the road guys.' Frodo said, seeming quite worried, but the three dolts stuffing their faces with food didnt hear him. I looked down the road again, this time I felt something coming.

'Get off the damn road!' I shouted. The three fools stood up and gave me confused looks. 'Quickly! Off the road NOW!' We pushed them up and over a bank, we hid inside a tree root.

I tried not to move, I was scared stiff. We all could hear hooves approaching, and they stopped right in front of the root we were hiding behind. The rider of the horse got off and stepped closer, putting his hands on the root over my head. He started to sniff, I could feel his breath on the back of my neck; making me colder with every breath he took. I didnt move. I felt Frodo jump as Merry sent the bag of mushrooms they just picked flying; causing the rider to go after it. Andrea grabbed my hand, and dragged me away from the tree root, and we all ran as fast as our feet would let us.

'Frodo, what was that?' Pippin asked.

Frodo didnt answer; he just simply stood there trying to catch his breath and clutching the part of his shirt where the ring remained.

'Something you'll never forget,' I said.

'But I never remember anything,' he argued.

'Well, now you will.' I replied.

We ended up running away from the riders all day. it was night and we could still feel them chasing after us.

'Anything there?' Sam called from behind us.

'Nothing at all,' I shouted back.

The rest of them ran up to where Frodo, Pippin, and I were hiding. 'That rider is definantly looking for someone, or something. Frodo?' Merry questioned. Ahead in the path we saw another rider. 'Get down!'

'I have to leave The Shire. We must get to Bree,' Frodo said.

'Oh...' Merry thought, then he finally got it. 'Bucklebury Ferry, follow me!'

We all got out of our hiding spots and ran fast after Merry. We jumped over some fences, and on the other side of one, we met a rider. We all managed to run away, all except for Frodo, who was cornered. We all ran and got onto the raft.

'Quickly! Untie the ropes!' Merry exclaimed as we all untied the raft from the dock and pushed off just as Frodo was coming up to the end of the dock with a rider on his tail.

'Come on, Frodo!'

'Jump! I'll catch you!' I yelled as he jumped right into my arms. He looked at me and pulled me into a hug. The rider stopped at the end of the dock.

'U-G-L-Y, you aint got no alabie, you ugly! Uh huh, you ugly!' I mocked the rider while getting up and pointing at him. 'Thats right, you can kiss my butt, cause you aint getting any of my hobbit friends! Yeah, thats right! WOOOO!' The rider quickly turned around and went back up the road, joining 8 more riders. My smile and mocking attitude faded fast. 'Goddamnit.'

'Ok, do you mean there are 8 more of those things?' Andrea asked in horror.

Yes,' I said sadly. 'And I dont think they'll leave us alone.'

Frodo just sat there, staring into the space. 'Where is the nearest crossing?'

'Brandywine Bridge, 20 miles.' Merry said.

It rained really hard when we stepped off the raft, and we all put our hoods up. We ran up to the gate of the village and knocked rather loudly. The gatekeeper opened a window above us, scowled, and opened a window to about our height.

'What do you want?' The guard asked rudely.

'We are headed to the Prancing Pony,' Frodo replied.

'Hobbits! Six Hobbits at least! What brings you to Bree?'

'We want to stay at the Inn, and our coming here is none of your matter,' I replied coldy.

'All right, hobbits, I meant no offence. its my job to ask questions at night, there's talk of strange folk brewing about,' The guard replied while opening the gate for us, 'Can never be too careful.'

We walked into the small and dirty town, many strange and tall men were giving us weird glances. 'Oh, if I didnt have to keep myself alive, I would teach those guys a lesson,' I commented.

'Alysha,' Andrea said warningly, 'We need you here.'

We finally came upon a building with a sign overheard saying 'Prancing Pony Inn'.

'Hey, do you think this is the place?' Pippin asked.

'No Pippin, its called 'the Pony Prancing'.' I answered back sarcastically.

'Oh, really?' Merry quickly hit him in the head. 'Ouch, what did you do that for?' We entered the Inn and removed our coats. Frodo went over to the counter. 'Exuse me?'

A plump man leaned over to look at him. 'Oh, good evening young hobbits. If your seeking accommodation, we have some nice hobbit-sized rooms, Mr...?'

'Underhill, my name is Underhill,' Frodo replied rather quickly. 'We are friend of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've just arrived?'

'Gandalf? Gandalf...' he thought, 'Oh yes! Older man, big grey beard and pointy hat?' Frodo smiled and nodded. 'Havent seen him for six months.' Frodo face turned worried and he turned to us.

'Great, what now?' Sam asked.

'Dont worry, he'll come.' Frodo said, reassuring us.

'Well, if we're gonna be here for ahwile, I dont wanna stand. Lets get a table,' I suggested and we all followed the plump man into the room and we all stopped at a table in the middle.

'That man keeps on staring at us, he's been doing it ever since we arrived,' I said, pointing to a man sitting in a corner, smoking a pipe.

'Exuse us.' Frodo asked Barliman. 'Who is that fellow in the corner?'

'That man? He's one of those Rangers. Dangerous folk, they are, wandering in the wild. What his name is I dont know, but round here he's know as Strider,' he explained and quickly went back to doing his job. Merry came over with a huge mug.

'Whats that?' Pippin asked.

'This, is a pint,' Merry said happily while sipping from some mug.

'I'm getting one! Yes!' Pippin said, while getting up from his seat.

'Are you serious?' Andrea asked.

'But you have some already?' I protested, but then I shook my head, 'Tooks.'

Wow, long chappie eh? Chappie 13 already! Sorry I didnt update sooner! But please, read and review!
