Umm… coughs loudly Well, as odd as it may seem, I am in fact still alive. My loyal reviewers- I am SORRY! I haven't been on for ages, and a few days ago I came on to read some Beyblade fic, and I suddenly realised it's been what?… 6 months since I last updated. So I have finally gotten my act together and am updating the fic. Sorry it's kinda short. Hope you all enjoy it, and believe me, there'll be more up very soon, before I forget again!…

Previously...

Gandalf gathered them all together, and told them so. "We must carry on our journey, we have stayed her long enough. Sauron knows we are here now, and he will return. Pack everything up. We will leave at sunset."

So at sunset, the fellowship moved off, packs slung high on their backs, spirits similarly high as they discussed some of the more memorable moments from the last week.

"Remember when we got attacked by those rabbits Sam?" Frodo asked.

"How could I not, Miste-… Frodo? That was the start of all this."

They continued on, aiming to put as much distance between them and the campsite as possible. Legolas stayed at the front of the group, directing them through the darkness. But though his eyes were keen, the black of night was considerably hard to see through. Pippin suggested lighting a torch to guide the way, but Gandalf was quick to change his mind, insisting that a fire would bring Sauron down upon them as quickly as you could say 'Gondor'. The hobbit sighed, and the companions carried on.

Some hours later, Aragorn spoke up. "This is hopeless! Do none of you see that?" The Fellowship halted, and Aragorn stood up front, voicing his opinion. "We have been walking for hours, with no clue where we're going. We can't see a damn thing in this darkness, and I for one would like to know why it is that we're journeying at night."

The company exchanged glances. Aragorn continued.

"We're all hungry, the hobbits are exhausted, and my feet are aching to no end!" he gestured towards his feet for added effect. The strips of dirty, worn leather that bound them were the sad remains of his one boot. The other, they guessed, still lay at the bottom of the lake. "We must stop here, and continue on at dawn. We all need rest, and feed."

Silence met Aragorn's words, as everyone considered what the Ranger was saying. Merry was the first to speak.

"I agree with Aragorn. We are exhausted, and we all need food. The Nazgul won't find us here, and there's only a few hours until morning anyway. We should just rest, and move on at sunrise."

The other three hobbits cheered in support. Aragorn looked smug- at last, somebody was agreeing with him. Gimli glanced at everyone, and shrugged. He took a seat on what appeared to be a large log, and closed his eyes. Within minutes, rough snores escaped his mouth. Gandalf narrowed his eyebrows, but took a seat by Gimli's side, and leaned his head forward, falling into a light sleep. Merry, Pippin, Boromir and Aragorn followed suit. Legolas walked lightly past the sleeping figures, and stepped up onto a boulder. With a sudden whim, he jumped down and frowned.

'How strange… I couldn't possibly have known that the boulder was there, so how did I know to step up, instead of walking into it? Something about this feels familiar…' the elf sat atop the rock and mused this for a while.

Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo were settling down with the others. Sam curled up on the ground, insisting that it was more comfortable than sitting on a log, while Frodo opted to sit with Gimli, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, and the other two hobbits. With a tired sigh, Frodo leaned backwards, resting his back against a thick tree trunk behind him. With a start, he jumped to his feet. Something wasn't right about this.

'How did I know there was a tree behind me? If any of the other's had leant back, they would have fallen… wait! How do I know that? This is a bad sign…' Frodo shook his head, and walked away from the log. Not even stopping to ask himself how he knew where he was going, he stopped at Legolas' boulder and leaned against that instead, a entered into a restless sleep.

In the morning, Legolas and Frodo were sure to find out what had been troubling them about their surroundings, but for the time, the best thing to do was rest.

OK, I don't have time to reply to each individual review, but I will update soon and will do so then. Thanks guys for being so supportive of this fic. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Wasn't funny or anything, but what happens next may surprise you a little. I have a few plans for the Fellowship now! Only a few more chapters to go I reckon. Then it'll all be over. See you soon!
