Hey everyone. I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I am hoping to be able to update at least twice a week but it depends on how much school work I get as this is a work in progress. If you have any ideas on how to make this story better feel free to share. Keep reading!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in either series, I just like messing with their lives!

Chapter 3

LPOV

Screams filled the air as the evil beings found the Hobbits beds to be empty. I shivered but not from the cold. Their screams, their presence caused pure evil to seep into the air. I hated it.

"What are they" Frodo asked.

"They were once men... Great Kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave them nine Rings of power. Blind by their greed, they took them without question. One by one, falling into the darkness. Now they are slaves of his will. They are the Nazgul. Ringwraiths. Neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring. Drawn to it the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you" Strider said.

I nodded my head at what Strider was saying. Men could be weak. They could be corrupted with their need for power. Caspian's uncle proved this.

"Strider" I started "do you know why my ears became pointed when I came here?"

Striders head whipped towards me so fast I would of thought it would fall off.

"What?" He asked.

"My ears" I asked.

"Elves have pointed ears. I assumed you were an elf My Lady" Strider said.

"Hmm" I responded. If Aslan changed my race in order for me to come here than I probably will not be leaving. I could feel Aslan as I thought about it. He was telling me I wasn't. But I found I wasn't sad about it. I didn't mind if I never went back to England because I knew eventually I would see my family again. I would see them in Aslan's country. I smiled to myself as I thought of what may lay ahead in the coming months. So lost in my thoughts was I, that I didn't notice that the sun was coming up. Only Strider lightly grabbing my shoulder roused me out of my thoughts.

"Come My Queen, we must leave" He said softly. Reaching back I pulled my hood over my head once more.

"Lead the way and please call me Lucy" I told Strider with a smile, even though he could no longer see it.

"Alright Lucy" he said "but why do you hide your face?"

"A lone man people may think twice about attacking but a lone woman may be killed within an hour" I answered.

"But surely you have weapons and can protect yourself" spoke Sam.

"Of course I do and can but I would rather not have to fight if I can help it" I responded.

Sam lips made an 'o' shape I chuckled at the hobbit. We made our way down the stairs and out the inn quietly. As the town was waking Strider, the hobbits and I quickly left through the gates and made our way into the trees towards Rivendell. Hiking it will take two weeks. Two weeks I was glad for. It would allow me to work up my stamina and muscle strengths again.

We had only been walking for a few hours when I heard a loud thump behind us. Before Strider could even turn around I had my bow out and arrow notched. I sighed as I saw it was just the hobbits rooting through their bags.

"What are you doing?" Strider asked "We don't stop until nightfall"

" But what about breakfast?" Asked Pippin.

"You had breakfast an hour ago" I said, feeling confused.

"Aye, that was first breakfast. What about second breakfast?"

"I don't think they know about second breakfast Pip" Merry said.

"They don't!" He exclaimed "what about elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner,supper?"

I just shook my head and turned to see Strider throw an apple towards the hobbits. Merry caught it and shook his head handing Pip the apple.

"I don't think so" he said walking away. Pip just stood there with most bewildered expression on his face. I couldn't hep but laugh as he didn't even move until another apple hit him on his forehead. With a pouting Pip, frustrated Strider and amused Merry we continued on our way to Rivendell.

Seven days later we stopped at the watch tower of Amon Sul.

"We shall rest here tonight" Strider said. I nodded my head at him before climbing up.

"I'm going to check out the area" Strider said "would you like to stay here or come with?"

"I'm going to stay here and check out the rest of the watch tower. I feel as if something is coming" I replied.

Nodding his head Strider went back down the tower as I went up. It was tall so we could see if anything was coming, but they would also be able to see us if we were to light a fire.

"Put it out you fools, put it out" Frodo yelled "they will see it"

Gasping I ran to the side of the tower as I felt the malice of the Nazgul approaching.

"Up here Hobbits, up here" I said just loud enough for them to hear. I listened as they grabbed the swords that they didn't know how to use and ran up the stairs to where I was. I quickly threw my cape off of my shoulders and listened to the hobbits gasp as they saw me fully for the first time.

"Behind me hobbits" I spoke "quickly"

I drew my bow and and arrow as I waited for the Nazgul to make their way here.

"Aslan, help me" I prayed as four Nazgul approached me. I shot the first one in the face and watched as the arrow caught fire. I shot one more before I grabbed my twin knives. One Nazgul approached me with a great black sword. Every strike he made I stopped with one knife while I thrust with another. I glanced over to see Merry and Pip fighting the Nazgul that wasn't on fire while Sam was in front of Frodo. Suddenly both Merry and Pip were tossed aside and the Nazgul started towards Sam and Frodo.

Unfortunately with my attention split I didn't see the strike towards my shoulder until I felt it. Hissing I thrust my knife into the black space that made up his face at the same time I heard Frodo scream. The Nazgul I was fighting lit on fire and he ran. I turned around to see Strider torching the last one. Quickly I grabbed my cordial before leaning over Frodo and putting a single drop against his lips.

"What is that?" Strider asked.

"A healing elixir that will heal any wound" I said

"He's passing into the shadow world. It might help slow it down but it will not stop it" he explained "he needs elvish medicine"

"But Rivendell is still 6 days away" pointed out Sam.

"Then we must go quickly" instructed Strider as he picked up Frodo and started to run. We ran for 3 days and 3 nights. I had given Frodo 2 more drops from my cordial to keep him from passing but it wasn't helping any more. I had also ripped a piece of fabric from the inside of my bag to bind my shoulder with when nobody was looking. They didn't need to know I was injured.

"Sam do you know the Athelas plant?" Asked Strider.

"Athelas?" Sam repeated

"Uh... Kingsfoil"

"The weed?" Asked Sam.

"Go see if you can find some. It may help slow down the poison" Strider explained.

I sat down next to Frodo with Pip and Merry beside me. Pip leaned on my injured shoulder and I held in a hiss of pain. Barely. Suddenly there was an elf in front of me. She was speaking in a different language but strangely enough I could understand what she was saying.

"(Frodo... I'm Arwen. I've come to help you. Hear my voice. Come back to the light)" she spoke.

"Who is she?" Merry asked.

"She's an elf" Sam answered. Frodo let out a scream and she quickly picked him up.

"He's fading fast, he'll not last long. We must get him to my father"

"Where are you taking him" Sam cried.

The elf ignored him, continuing to speak to Strider.

"There are five Wraiths behind you, where the other four are I do not know"

"(Stay here with the hobbits, I will send horses for you)" Strider said. I snickered and received a look for that. I didn't even know the ellyth and could tell that she would end up taking him.

"(I'm a faster rider. I'll take him)" the ellyth argued

"(It's a dangerous road)" Strider insisted.

"(If I can get him to the river the power of our people will protect us)"

Strider did not look happy.

"I do not fear them" the ellyth added.

Strider nodded.

"As you wish"

The maiden mounted the horse before Strider put Frodo in front of her. She leaned close to her horses ear before whispering.

"(Ride fast Asfaloth, ride fast)"

"Why were you snickering Lucy?" Strider asked.

"I don't know that ellyth but even I could tell you were going to lose that argument" I answered.

"You could understand us?" He asked surprised. I nodded my head and explained that long ago I got a gift from Aslan that allowed me to understand and speak any language in any world. We continued walking for the rest of the night and into the morning when I heard hooves approaching.

"Six horses approach us. Four with riders, two without. One of the ones without has the same gait as my horse from Narnia" I exclaimed extremely surprised.

We stopped where we were and watched as elves rode into the clearing we were in. They all bowed to Strider and I cocked my head to the side. I studied him. The way he carried himself screamed royal. He was an heir to a throne, although I do not know which throne. Looking to the horses I felt a smile light my face. Clicking my tongue I watched as my horse immediately started trotting towards me. All the elves immediately looked towards me.

"Silme (starlight)" I murmured as my black horse with tiny white spots nudged her nose into my hand. Smiling I rubbed her nose. She whinnied softly before shaking her mane nudging me towards her back. She had no saddle or reins so she must of followed the elves from Rivendell. I smiled as I grabbed onto her neck an expertly swung onto her bare back. My dress sliding up a bit so my boots were revealed but my cloak covered the rest of me.

"(Nobody's ever rode that horse before)" they whispered. I snickered quietly. I was the only person that has ever rode Starlight. She hated other people even getting close to her. She feels like a little piece of home.

'Thank you Aslan' I thought.

I smiled as Strider helped the hobbits onto horses, so they sat in front of the elves. I would assume they were guards because of the weapons they carry. Strider got onto a beautiful black stallion and started leading the way towards Rivendell. I followed after him, letting the guards bring up the rear. I held onto Starlights mane as she followed Striders horse. I didn't need to lead her because she knew what was expected of her. Somehow she always knew which way to go. I rarely ever had to tell her.

"How did she get here?" Strider asked.

"I would assume Aslan" I answered as I rode beside him "he always gives me what I need, even if I don't know it"

"That horse has been in Rivendell for over a year and has never let a single elf ride her"

"Did they try to saddle her?" I asked

"Ya" Strider said looking confused.

"Starlight does not like to be saddled so I never have. She doesn't like to be led so she leads me to where I want to go. I trust her for she has saved me in many battles" I explained.

Strider nodded his understanding as he watched me sit side saddled on the horse with absolute faith I would not fall. I held onto her mane but didn't pull on it. Looking around I noticed the trees thinning out as we came across a river. Clucking my tongue I pushed Starlight to cross after Strider. We rode through another small forest before coming upon a magnificent city that was built around the forest and cliff. I couldn't help my gasp that I let out. It matched Cair Paraval in beauty.

"Welcome to Rivendell" said Stride
