Thanks for all the reviews!
Chapter Four: On the Road Again.
Esmeralda's POV
It's like I'm an animal on display. The little hobbits never stop staring at me. We had been traveling for four days, and all they'ce done is stare at me. Whenever I catch them I give them a wierd faces that makes them knock if off. For about a minute. Aragron says pay it no heed. But he doesn'tget the feeling that he has four minature stalkers out to get him. Lucky. In all our travels we could hear the black riders, but we never saw hide nor tail of them. All though, I'm pretty sure they have neither of those. It's just what Aragorn said the other day. Funny man that Aragorn. For instance, the other day Pimple, or whatever, asked to stop for a seciond breakfast, yes, a SECOND breakfast after the first, and Aragron wouldn't let them stop, so he threw an apple and hit him straight in the forehead. I definitly got a few scratches from falling into a bush from lauging so hard. The poor hobbit looked at the sky like 'since when does it rain food?". Merry just shook his head a walked away. Fat boy glared at me and Frodo looked blank.
'You know, Frodo, you could smile every once in awhile to let people know you still feel things?" I slowed my pace to walk next to Frodo, but Sam or whatever wouldn't let me. I think he might love him, gross. Hobbit-on-hobbit action. Ergggghh.
"You could do well with being nice miss." said Sam glaring at me. I matched his glare and continued.
"Well, I don't think I've seen him smile once this trip, and it's really not that bad you know." I got four increndulous looks from the peanut gallery, "See look, he showed emotion! It wasn't that hard!" I started jumping around the hobbits singing a song about Frodo's advancement in feeling. That is until Aragorn started yelling at me. Surprise surprise.
"Oh bugger off old man."
"I'm not old. You're old."said Aragorn not even looking back at us.
"No, I'm quite young actually, only about three thousand. So there."
"That is actaully quite old Esmeralde" piped Pippin, who recieved an apple to the head again, curtesy of me.
"Anyway, we will be stoping at Weathertop this eve, so come we must make it there before dark. It is about a days walk from here." saifd Aragorn shaking his head at my 'childish antics' so he liked to call them. Needless to say the hobbits cheered, I cursed, another night not spent walking to Rivendell...what a waste.
"Aye aye captain! Wait I'm the captain here! I get to decide where we stop!! I SAY RIVENDELL!" I yelled jumping up on top of the little mound beside Aragorn, and then I knocked him off.
"Esme..." opps, there's that warning tone he likes to use.
"Fine, fine you can have you little hill back." I stepped down and bowed low, 'It is all your's you majesty."
"Lets go." and he walked right by the mound he had been so mean to me about. What a jerk. So here we go, more walking. And walking. And you'll never guess what else! MORE WALKING! Opps, Aragorn was talking and I missed it. Oh well.
"We are almost there, we will come in from the north, we will be less visible from that direction. But we must hurry, let us go. Esme, Esme, ESME!"
"WHAT?!?!?!"
"Were you listening to anything I said?"
"Errrmm...if I said yes would you believe me?"
"No not really."
"Then, yes. I was."
"Arg. I'm not repeating it."
"I wasn't asking you too."
"Good, cause I won't."
"Good, cause, I don't, want you to!"
"You're insufferable."
"NO! You're insuferable!"
"Arg."
"YAY! I WIN!!" I shouted jumping around and doing a victory dance, needless to say the hobbits were huddled together staring at me like I had an extra head. So I shouted boo at them and they ran screaming to Aragorn, who in turn, glared at me. He must be real bitter. He needs to get a woman. He must have known what I was thinking because his glare darkened, if that was even possible, and that just made me laugh. When I finally stopped laughing I realised they had left me. Jerks.
"Excuse me, you left me you know."I shouted while catching up.
'Well sir Aragorn told us to just leave as quitely as possible so that you would attrack all the bad guys to you with your loud laughter, but he told me not to tell you that. Oh man, I just did!"
I looked up smirking at Aragorn who had slapped his head to his forehead. Oh, there will be payback for sure. I wouldn't go to sleep tonight if I were him.
It was nightfall by the time we had reached weathertop, still we had only heard the wretched shrieks of the wraiths, but we hadn't seen them.
"I'm going to scout the area, you four stay here, but no fires. Here are some weapons for you to use if needed."
"What about me?"
"You will be scouting also, just not with me."
"Fine then, you don't know what you're missing." with that I set off to 'scout' out the premesis. Little did I know, we would be needed just were we left.
Author's note: Short chapter, I know, I didn't have much time to write, plus I wanted the part where Frodo gets stabbed to be it's own chapter. So, tell me what you think!
