Disclaimer: I do not own nor do I profit from any of these Lord of the Rings Characters. It all belongs to Tolkien, and Peter Jackson and all those wonderful people out there.
a/n – sorry its been so long, but family from New Orleans came into town. I'm going to try to post the whole story before I leave, because I'll be gone for three weeks. Once I come back I can post the sequel (two towers) which is done, I'm still working on Return of the King though.
Chapter 4 – On the Road Again.
"You guys ready?" I asked fixing the belt that held the scabbard for my sword.
"Yeah." Rae says coming over to me with Cass and Liv.
"Here goes nothing." Cass says
Liv moves to open the door, but its opened before she can touch it. Before us stand Gandalf and Lord Elrond.
"I came to wish you ladies good luck and good will on your journey with the fellowship." Lord Elrond says.
"Thank you." We all mutter.
"It was nice to have met you Lord Elrond." Rae says.

"You know the first part of the journey isn't so bad." I said sitting on a rock next to Rae.
"You have a point. But it will get worse." She said frowning.
"Yes I know. But right know I prefer to not dwell on it. I much rather talk about how Cass is over there talking to Frodo and not drooling on him." I say smirking.
"That is a rather amazing sight. I mean after all she practically is obsessed with Elijah Wood." Rae replied. "Well Liv is over there talking to Pippin and Merry." She paused. "You know what I think I'll go and join her."
"Ohh. Big bad Rae is about to make her move on little ole Dom huh?" I say laughing.
"You wish." She said walking off towards Liv and the little hobbits.
"Leave some for me" I yelled after her. She turned and glared at me while I smiled sweetly at her.
I look around my surroundings. It was beautiful really. I knew I wouldn't have much time to appreciate the landscape soon enough.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Legolas jumping on to a rock and staring off into the distance. "Here we go." I mutter under my breathe.
"Crebain from Dunland! Hide!" He shouts at us.
Don't need to tell me twice. I instantly hide behind the rocks. But then I feel someone touch my back.
I whip around. (I think I got whiplash)
I see Aragorn and sigh in relief.
"Shh." He whispers at me.
I turn back around to see about a hundred black birds flying over head. When they're completely gone all of us come out of hiding.
"Spies for Saruman. The passage south is being watched. We will have to go over the pass of Caradhras." Gandalf said.
I turn to look at Cass, Liv, and Rae and I can tell they feel the same way I do. I can't handle the fucking cold damnit! I never even seen fucking snow! (Hello! Remember we're from Houston, Texas. Say it with me now HOUSTON, TEXAS!)

It's official. I FUCKING HATE SNOW! Everywhere I look snow. To my left snow, to my right snow, in front of me snow. And you know what's behind me? Fucking ass snow. Seriously how can you people in the North handle this? In Houston we get scared when it goes below 20 degrees.
I don't know how long we've been up here, but let me tell you it's been long enough for me.
SO we're walking along when suddenly Frodo, who is behind me, falls and rolls down in the snow. Can't blame him really I want to do that.
Strider catches him so it's no big. Then I remember…OH SHIT! This is the part where Boromir picks up the ring. I look up to see my three friends trying to get down to us.
I turn to see Boromir. He just picked up the ring.
"Boromir" Strider says.
I walk over towards him. "Boromir give the ring back to Frodo!" I yell at him.
He doesn't hear me.
"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing."
"BOROMIR!" I hear Aragorn, along with Rae, Liv, and Cass yell at him.
"Give Frodo back the ring." I tell him.
Boromir looks up at her and smiles "As you wish. I care not."
He obviously cares. I mean we all know that. I turn to look at Aragorn who slowly takes his hand of the hilt of his sword. I sigh in relief. At that he turns to look at me and we lock eyes for a moment. Just a moment.

About…..I don't know how long afterwards. We're walking in snow that comes up to my stomach. Now if you've never walked in snow this high, let me just tell you: IT IS FUCKING HARD! You get all wet and cold from the mushy ice.
And then you start to get pissed off at Legolas, because since he's an elf can walk on top of the snow. Which I might add he is doing now. Oh Damn. That part with the Saruman bitch is coming up.
"There is a fell voice on the air!"
1, 2, 3….
"Saurman!" Gandalf yells for all to hear.
Damn I love being right! That's when the rocks start to fall. So you know what I take that back. I positively hate being right.
"He's trying to bring down the mountain! We must turn back!" Aragorn yells
"That would be a good idea!" Cass yelled.
"NO!" Gandalf yells back. Then he starts down his magic mumbo jumbo to stop the storm but Saruman is doing his own shit from Isengard so that doesn't really work and we get buried, BURIED, in the snow.
I come out right when Aragorn yells "We must get off the mountain!"
"I second that idea." I say while looking at Cass who's coughing up snow. Not a pretty sight.
"We must take the Pass of Rohan, or take the road west to my city!" Boromir yells.
"NO!" Liv and Rae yell.
"Rohan takes us to close to Isengard!" Aragorn says putting down Boromir's idea.
"If we cannot go over the mountain, I say let us go under it!" Gimli says adding his two cents.
"NO!" My friends and I yelled at the same time and Gimli glared at us.
(a/n: this is where that whole part with Saruman goes but I'm to lazy to put it in.)
"Let the Ring bearer decide!" Gandalf stated to us.
Yeah let the ring bearer decide, he doesn't even know what the hell we're up against.
Frodo sits and thinks about it for a while. I can practically hear Cass sigh in happiness. "We will go through the mines!" then she remembers what's coming up next and I can hear her mutter "Oh shit!"
"So be it." Gandalf states.
"So be it? That's all he can say, we are almost about to be killed in a few hours and all he can say is 'so be it'." I mutter to Rae who is standing next to me.
"What will come will come' I remember someone else saying that and she knew we were going on a journey in which we would almost be killed multiple times."
"Oh shut up Raelyn."

Preview for Chapter 5:
Gandalf finally sits down in disgust having tried a lot of passwords. I lost count after 50.
Frodo stood up. Finally we can get out of this hell hole. "It's a riddle. What's the Elvish word for friend?" he asked Gandalf.
"Mellon." The four of us say before he can answer. (Did I mention that we really wanted to get out of this hell hole?)
Just like in the movie the door opened. Here comes the fun part. (Notice the sarcasm).
