"Have you seen a girl?"
I don't own anything or anyone from Tolkien's books.AU!
The Fellowship left Rivendell many weeks ago. They now head through the mountains approaching Mordor from the north which is by far the safest road they could go. The hobbits are tired, the dwarf is complaining and Gandalf is getting even more grumpy than usually.
"I am so tired. I want a nice warm bed, lots of food, and Ale." said Merry tiredly.
"And some pipe weed." said Pippin.
"Stop your yammering young hobbits, there is a pub hotel not far from here. We should reach it before night fall, then you can have a bed, food, ale, and pipe weed. Until then be quiet!" shouted Gandalf angrily.
"Gandalf is right, in matter of fact I can see the place from here." Said Aragorn.
"YES!" Shouted the hobbits and started to race to the gate of the small town.
(Knock, knock, knock)
"Yes, what do you want?" said a man from behind the gate.
"We are headed for the Inn." said Gandalf.
"All right." said the man opening the gate door.
-In the pub-
"Finally some cold ale and fresh weed." said Pippin very contentedly.
"I would have to agree Pippin, I am very happy we came this way. Other wise we wouldn't have these things for months until we reached Rohan or Gondor." said Gandalf.
Suddenly a man with a cloak pulled low down over his face walked in the pub door. He was soaked because it had been raining outside for sometime. He also looked like he had just gotten out of a fight, he could hardly stand up. He walked over to the man behind the bar and asked if he had any rooms available. The owner said yes, then the man asked for a room. He reached into his pocket and pulled out some coins and put them on the counter. The owner told the man what room he could have and asked him how long he was going to stay.
"Until tomorrow morning." Said the man.
Then he said that the rest of the money is for all his drinks and food until he left. The owner agreed and told one of the servants he had to wait on the man.
"Anything he wants he gets." said the owner to his servant.
The man in the cloak then put two more silver coins on the counter and said that he had a horse that he wanted to be taken care of outside. The owner told his stable boy to put the horse in the stable and take very good care of it. The man then throw a small silver coin to the stable boy. The man in the cloak went and sat down at a table closest to the fire and the back of the room. Some servants brought him food and lots of beer. They even brought him some pipe weed.
-The Fellowship's table-
"I don't like the feeling that is coming off that man." said Legolas.
"Neither do I ,Legolas. I think there is going to be trouble tonight." said Aragorn.
Everything was quiet for some hours then three, what looked like guards of someone important, came into the Inn. They looked around and then turned to the man behind the counter.
"Have you seen a young girl come through here lately old man?" asked one of the guards.
"No sir, I have not." said the owner.
"Are you sure?" ask the same guard.
"Yes, I am positive." said the now frighten man.
"Good, because if you are lying to me I will slit your throat, understand?" said the guard.
"Yes." said the man.
The lead guard told his men to spread out and look for the girl. They went around and asked the other people in the bar if they had seen a girl, most of them that were drunk said no. Then they came to the table the Fellowship was sitting at.
"Have any one of you seen a young girl this evening?" said one of the guards.
Everyone at the table said no. The man that had come in some hours before was now headed to the stairs to his room when a drunk came and knocked him to the ground. One of the guards came over to help him up. When the man stood his hood came down and her face was revealed.
"YOU!" Shouted the guard.
The other two guards had their weapons pulled and they surrounded the girl.
"I would like to see you escape me now, princess." said the lead guard.
"Well all right, if you insist." said the girl.
With that she pulled back her cloak all the way and took out her sword. The three guards charged forwards, with three quick sweeps the guards laid dead on the floor and the girl standing there bleeding badly. The girl stood holding her side and looking around for an escape path, luckily there was one. She grabbed her things and ran out of the door dropping blood as she did. She ran to the stables and got her horse, saddled him and then rode out of the town.
-Back to the pub-
"Well that was interesting." said Pippin.
"What was that about?" asked Merry.
"I do not know Merry, but that girl, why did she look so familiar?" said Aragorn.
"I think we should all get some sleep, we will be leaving in the morning." said Gandalf.
So that was Chapter 1, how did you likey? Good? I hope so. Remember to Review.
