I hope you enjoy this chapter! Sorry again!)
The next morning, Erin woke up to the sound of an owl hooting nearby. She rubbed her eyes, sleepily, and sat up. Frodo sat snoozing in the sun nearby and Sam was looking around for something to eat. "You're not going to find anything around here, Sam," Erin called.
Sam looked towards her, "Who said I was looking for something to eat?" He snapped.
Erin shrugged and got up off of the soft grass and went to her backpack. She dug in it and pulled out her book 'Steps Through Pregnancy' and went to sit beside Frodo. "Good Morning!" Erin cried, happily.
Frodo moaned and opened his eyes a bit, but he quickly shut them again from the bright sunlight. Erin knew Frodo didn't sleep very well again last night. She saw him up stroking the ring and whispering to himself. She was very worried for him, but she hid it this morning. Erin opened her book and started to read a bit more, occasionally widening her eyes at some surprising things she read. It was pretty much silent, until Gollum came running out of the nearby bushes with two baby rabbits in his mouth. "Oh my.." Erin started, at the sight.
Gollum spat out the two rabbits in Frodo's lap and Frodo quickly opened his eyes again. "Awww, poor bunnies," Erin cooed.
"Look! Look, see what Smeagol finds?" Gollum cried, twirling around and laughing triumphantly.
Frodo smiled and looked over to Sam, who glared back at the sight. "They are young, they are tender, they are nice. Yes they are, eat them! eat them!" He screamed, shoving his teeth into the rabbit.
"Oh, that is just wrong!" Erin cried, covering her eyes with her hands.
"You'll make them sick, you will! behaving like that!" Sam said, running over and grabbing the two rabbits, "There's only one way to eat a brace of coneys!"
Sam took the rabbits away and started to skin them and then started to make a soup. "I'm so tired," Erin said, yawning.
"It's a tiring journey," Frodo said, smiling at her softly.
He kissed her on the forehead and started to read some of the book with her. Erin pointed to a picture, "That's what I'm guessing the baby looks like right now," Erin said.
Frodo nodded his head and looked at the rest of the stages of the baby. They continued to read the book, while Sam and Gollum fought over what to do with the rabbits. "What's it doing? You stupid, fat, hobbit! It ruins it!" Gollum cursed.
Erin laughed and Sam looked over and glared at her. "There was something funny....in the book?" Erin said, giving him and innocent smile.
The two continued to fight and Erin heard something about Potatoes, but she wasn't sure. "Would you two shut up! I'm trying to read here!" Erin called.
Gollum and Sam turned to look at her, but didn't say another word to each other. Frodo got up and walked towards the bushes, as Erin continued to skim through her book.
Frodo heard something in the distance, and being the curious hobbit that he was, he walked through the bushes to see what the noise was. Sam stirred the soup and added some herbs. "I wish we had some fish or something," he complained.
"At least we have this! good job, Gollum," Erin said, patting him on his head.
"Where's Frodo?" Sam asked, looking around.
"Frodo?" Erin called, "FRODO!"
"Keep it down!" Sam said, "Mr.Frodo?"
"We'd better go and look for him," Erin said, starting off into the bushes.
"I'll be there in a minute, I just have to finish with this," Sam said, nodding to the soup.
Erin walked further into the thick vines and ahead she saw someone standing. They had on a green cloak with the hood up and a bow and arrow. "Legolas?" Erin called softly, confused, "Robin Hood?"
The person in the cloak didn't turn around and Erin walked closer, out of the bushes. She was a bit frightened, and quickly retreated back into the bushes to watch. Another green-cloaked person walked up and the two started to talk. "Are the troops ready?" The first one said.
"Yes, sir. they are ready for the ambush," Said the second one.
"Ambush?" Erin whispered to herself, quietly.
"There's something else wandering around these woods, I'm sure I saw some movement in the bushes a moment ago," The first one said.
Erin took a couple of steps back, as one of the men looked around the bushes. She gasped when someone grabbed her from behind. "Got you!" he said, pushing her out of the bushes towards the other men, "I've got one!"
*****************************************************************
Sam caught up with Frodo. He was laying down on the ground and watching soldiers marching. They had an ill look and had black veils covering half of their faces. "Who are they?" Sam asked.
"Soldiers of Sauron! they are wicked men," Gollum said, from behind him, and then he slipped off into the bushes.
Suddenly, arrows were shot from every direction and men fell to the ground. Sam looked up in interest. "Mr.Frodo, it's an oliphaunt!" Sam cried, gasping.
A smile came to his lips, but soon diappeared when he noticed something, "Where is Erin?" Frodo demanded, looking around, "Erin?"
"She was right in front of me only a moment ago, Mr.Frodo," Sam said, guilt in his voice, "She must have wandered off".
*****************************************************************
Erin looked up into the face of a human man. "Who are you?" he demanded.
"I'm...I...uhhh," Erin mumbled, extremely frightened.
"Who are you?!? Spit it out!" He screamed, shaking her.
Instead of answering, Erin let out a scream and tried to pull away from him. "Keep still!" he commanded.
Erin kept wriggling under his grasp, until he pushed her away. She started to run back towards the safety of the bushes, but one of his men grabbed her and pushed her back towards him. "Bind her hands," He ordered, glaring at Erin, "And a gag".
"You won't get away with this!" Erin screamed, before a hand was clasped over her mouth.
*****************************************************************
Frodo was startled to hear the sound of Erin's scream. "Erin!" he cried, "We must leave now, Sam!"
"But Mr.Frodo..." Sam started, but he was cut off.
"NOW!" Frodo yelled, turning to run towards the bushes.
He ran into a soldier and was shoved so hard he fell to the ground. "HEY!" Sam cried, pulling out his sword.
He ran into the soldiers and was pushed to the ground beside Frodo. Frodo looked up and saw Erin struggling to get away from their grasps, tears formed in her eyes. "Erin!" Frodo cried, trying to get up again.
A soldier wrapped his arm around Frodo to hold him back. Their leader came out and stood in front of Frodo. "Bind their hands," He ordered.
Frodo looked up and glared into his eyes with such hatred, it seemed to startle him.
