Frodo and his friends had arrived at "The prancing pony." Anna looked at the place they where in she saw people laughing and joking around . The hobbits took their jackets off. Layla asked " Hey Pip want to sit down ?" "I think Frodo is trying to find a seat for us ..." "Excuse me ..." said Frodo in a quiet voice. "Good evening little masters , if you're looking for an accommodation , we've got some nice , cozy hobbit sized rooms . Uh ?" the man stopped speaking for a minute or so , waiting for an answer." Underhill , my name is Underhill!" lied Frodo."Underhill yes .." "We are friends of Gandalf The Grey. Can you tell him we've arrived ?" "Gandalf ? Gandalf ? OH YES ! I remember him! grey beard , big pointy hat." Frodo started to smile . " I haven't seen him for six months." Frodo felt disappointment run through his entire body. Anna looked at Frodo and asked " Where is he ? wasn't Gandalf supposed to meet us here ?" Frodo ignored her and walked towards Merry and some reason Anna felt like Frodo was mad at her . " Is it something I did ? are you mad at me ?" Frodo still didn't answer her Anna looked at Sam . Sam shrugged his shoulders and walked next to Frodo . Sam and Frodo sat down in a chair . Anna mainly hanged out with Delilah and Layla. "Guys!" said Anna. Delilah and Layla looked at her and asked "What?" Anna whispered " Is Frodo mad at me ?" "I don't know , I wouldn't think he would be why ?" asked Delilah. Anna started to gaze at Frodo while he was talking to Sam."I just get a good feeling whenever I'm around him ...I just feel like I can trust him for some reason ..." "it's called acceptance , people aren't so bad when you get to know them!" replied Layla."You're right ...Layla I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to meet new people along the way to wherever we're going next!" said Anna. Delilah smiled at her and asked " Do you have feelings for anybody it doesn't have to be a boy !" Anna thought of her sister when she asked that."Well the only person I could ever have feelings for is my sister Elsa. My sister and I where really close when we where little. Now , she just always shuts me out . You guys are lucky you get along I wish Elsa and I could be like that again!" Anna began to look at the table sadly. "I'm sorry to hear that , I'm sure she cares for you too !" replied Delilah. Anna looked up at her and said "Thanks..." "Sam , he will be here I know it ! " said Frodo. Merry and Pippin sat down with them."What's that ?" asked Pippin."This my friend...is a pint!" replied Merry."It comes in Pints ? I'm getting one !" said Pippin as he got up."You had a whole half already !" shouted Sam.
Sam nudged Frodo's arm and said "That fellow has done nothing but , stare at you since we arrived." Frodo took a quick peek over his shoulder."Excuse me !" said Frodo."That man in the corner who is he ?" The man looked at Frodo and said " He's one of them rangers , dangerous folk they are ... his right name I've never heard but . 'round here , he is known as Strider." "Strider ?" wondered Frodo as the man walked away. Frodo looked at Strider and then at Anna who was talking to Pippin. Frodo looked at Pippin as he spoke to her."Baggins? sure I know Baggins , he's over there Frodo Baggins!" said Pippin to the men around him. Anna was sitting next to him . "Pippin!" she whispered. Pippin looked at her and asked "Is something wrong lassy?" "You're girlfriend needs you for a minute ..." " Tell her I'll be there later." " Anna hissed out " It's something important !" Pippin didn't listen to her he was admiring himself while getting all the attention from everyone around him. "He is my second cousin. once removed on his mothers side . and my third cousin twice removed on my father's side , if you follow me ." Everyone around him laughed a little bit. Anna looked at Layla and said "Sorry..." Suddenly Frodo began to fled from the table , Strider was looking at Frodo as he was running."Pippin!" cried out Frodo. Frodo grabbed his arm tightly .Pippin turned around and caused Frodo to step back and fall.
The ring went flying in the air Anna saw Frodo falling she felt the need to grab it but , she didn't. Frodo circled his finger as he tried to catch it . Anna just stared daring herself to go near him . Anna flung out of her seat and tried to pull Frodo up as she was about to Frodo disappeared . Everyone was in shock including Anna . She had not seen anyone disappear like that ."Where did he go?" she asked in a worried voice . Pippin looked around "There!" he said . Frodo looked around wondering what had happened when he put the ring on . Then Strider came Anna saw Frodo being dragged into a room.
