Night time had come , The Black Riders where out . Anna asked " Why are they here ? what do they want?" Frodo looked at her and said " It's the ring ." "What is going on ?" asked Pippin . " That Black rider is looking for something , or someone...Frodo ?" Frodo looked at Merry . " Get down ! " shouted Sam . Anna and the others hid behind a bush . " I have to leave the shire !" whispered Frodo. Merry looked at him " Anna and Sam have to get to bree !" he added. Merry nodded his head 'Right...buckelbury Ferry follow me ." Merry ran , Frodo saw the black riders heading towards them."I thought they left !" said Delilah. "No! they don't go right away !" replied Frodo. The Black rider saw Anna standing alone she gasped and yelled out " Help ! some body help me !" Frodo saw Anna in trouble he rushed over towards her and grabbed her shoulder . "Come on ! " called out Frodo. Pippin and Layla where trapped the Black riders kept blocking them. " He won't move !" shouted Layla. " I'm trying to find a way out!" Pippin gasped " That's it ! Layla I found a boat !" " A boat ? are you sure we will make it ?" Pippin grabbed her hand and said " Will make it lass don't worry!" Layla held Pippin's hand they ran quickly to the boat Merry was on. Anna hopped on the boat she saw Frodo running in the distance " Frodo!" she called out. Sam turned around " Frodo..." Pippin and Layla made it there safely. Frodo was being chased by The black Rider . " Frodo !" yelled out Pippin. Frodo ran as fast as he could." Run Frodo !" called out Merry. "Frodo RUN ! " shouted Sam. Delilah tried to stop the boat. "Merry we have to stop it !" "I don't know what to do Delilah ! the boat has already left the dock !"Anna had to do something in order to save Frodo , the boat was half way gone she could only think of one thing Anna jumped off the boat . Merry yelled out " What are you doing ? you'll drown !" Anna didn't know how to swim the water pulled Anna under . " Oh no ! " shouted Sam . Anna coughed " Frodo !" Frodo heard her calling his name . " I'll catch you !" Anna tried to keep herself up . Her head kept getting under water . Anna moved her arms around trying to keep herself from drowning.

Frodo ran towards her " Jump!" she shouted . Anna held out her arms . Frodo jumped . The Black rider screeched in frustration. Anna asked " Are you alright?"she asked in a calm voice . Frodo nodded his head . Anna grabbed his arm she swam across the lake . "Stop the boat !" shouted Layla . Pippin grabbed on a tree branch . " Uhh little help here ?" he asked . Layla rolled her eyes she held Pippin's coat. Sam helped Anna on to the boat . Anna grabbed Sam's hand . She pulled Frodo up."Why did you do that ?" questioned Pippin. She looked at him and said " Friends help other friends ..." "I suppose you have a point Princess Anna but Please don't do that again !" Sam took Frodo aside " You know Mister Frodo ... I was thinking maybe this journey is worth it ." Eventually the young travelers arrived at Bree.

"Oh great it's raining !" complained Merry. Frodo looked around " This way !" he whispered . Frodo saw a building near by he knocked on the door.A man appeared and asked" What do you want ?" "I'm heading for the prancing Pony ! " replied Frodo. The man opend the door and said "Six hobbits and one human?why are you not in the shire?" "Can't really explain , we wish to stay here !" said Frodo. The man nodded his head " I suppose it's alright it's just that there has been strange people coming and going ." Anna stayed near Frodo and asked " Where are we going ?" " we are heading for the prancing pony !" People began to look at them Layla gulped "Why are they looking at us like that ?" Pippin shrugged his shoulders " I don't know lass!" "I don't think they've seen hobbits before..." she added.
