Authors Note: Hi Everyone! Sorry for the wait, School is rough. Had to write a twelve page paper on Billy Budd the sailor but I'm back! This chapter doesn't have much of Arthur and Merlin but I promise you the next one will. Enjoy! :D

On a cold dreary day two birds were migrating across the Emyn Muil.

"Well Bert, its as quiet as ever." said a grayish middle-earthen bird.

"Yes, yes Alfonzo. Nothing ever happens here. It's just rocky and quiet every year. Not even the pesky humans live here." said Bert a bluish middle-earthen bird.

"AHHHHHHH!"

There was then an epic zoom through some fog and clouds on two startled hobbits and a freaked out teenager.

"Oh my God! No it isn't, it can't! What? Hobbits! Frodo Sam! Middle-Earth! What the hell? Sarah went here! What? How? Why? What the hell!" Emma said, coming to her senses.

Frodo and Sam were freaked out at Emma's outburst. They jumped back and nearly hit some rocks.

"Calm down, we won't hurt you!" Sam yelled, trying to quiet the crazed girl.

"How do you know our names?" Frodo asked, but then he thought that if Sarah had read the books about the future maybe she had to.

"Oh my God Hobbits!" Emma backed against a rock wall and realized she was wearing an elven cloak.

'I'm wearing an Elven cloak? I'm wearing an Elven Cloak!' Emma screamed in her head.

"Please Calm Down." Frodo said urgently.

"Hobbits! Rocks! Emyn Muil. What's happening? How did I get here? How did Sarah get here? What the heck is going on?"

"Calm Yourself!" Frodo suddenly yelled with Hobbity Authority.

Emma stopped and looked with wide eyes at Frodo Baggins.

"My name is Frodo Baggins, we know your name is Emma Auckland and you are from the land of Florida. Please calm down!" The girl was silenced, although still hyperventilating slightly, and stared at the small creature with hairy feet.

"How do you know my name! How do you know about Florida?" Emma burst out suddenly.

"How do you know ours?" Sam pointed out.

"Tolkien!" Emma yelled, still not taking in the whole being dropped in Middle-Earth situation. Her brain was still whizzing trying to process it. 'WHATTTTTTT!'

"Who's that?" Sam asked.

"A British Person!" Emma yelled.

"A what?" Sam asked, even more confused then he previously was. Which was pretty dang confused. More then one would be over the quantum mechanics of a starship. This however is justified because its how people would normally react to randomly being in the Emyn Muil.

"STOP!" Frodo yelled, Sam and Emma fell silent. No sound could be heard in the Emyn Muil except two migrating birds tweeting about the first sign of life in the place for hundreds of years.

"I know your name because we found it on this yellow… well were not sure what it is. Would you mind telling us?"

"It's a driver license, a card that lets you drive car. Cars are sort of like mechanical horses."

Sam and Frodo stared at her. 'Mechanical Horses? Really?'

"Look, its not important. What is important is why the heck am I here!"

"We don't know why you're here. Sam and I had nothing to do with you coming here."

"Well, I didn't really think you did. Considering your Hobbits not wizards. Or you could be wizards disguised at Hobbits." Emma thought and backed away from the Halflings.

"Now wait just a minute. We found you here and tried to help." Sam protested in a valiant hobbity way.

"How do I know that? I was unconscious!"

"Because… We won't hurt you!" Sam ran out of reasons. How were they supposed to convince her?

Emma gave him a look, "That's not a reason."

"Please. We also think we know a friend of yours." Frodo stated. It seemed likely that this girl was acquainted with the craziest member of the fellowship.

"Is her name Sarah?" Emma asked.

"Yes, actually."

Emma managed to calm down and remember the strange book incident. She then explained it to the Hobbits.

"… and then there was this weird man who wished me merry Christmas."

BZZ

Emma jumped and then pulled out her phone to see a text from her brother.

'Emma? Where r u?'

She then typed. 'Long story… go to the car and wait.' Pressing send a message popped up. 'Unable to Send'

'Oh right, I'm in middle earth. I've got no signal but no how did Oliver text me?' Emma looked at the place where the bars were to see the words MEN. 'What the heck?'

"Sarah had something like that but it was silver." Frodo stated, seeing the strange device.

"Yea, she's got an Iphone. Oh, don't worry about what that is, Its complicated. Actually why don't we settle that now, just don't worry about it if I say something you don't understand. I'll explain if you need to know. Keep things simpler there." Emma said, smiling at the Hobbits who nodded gratefully. Emma however was starting to panic, what was Oliver going to do? How was he going to explain to her mother that she mysteriously disappeared? She couldn't text him but he could text her. How does that work?

Frodo noted that Emma seemed more calm, not sensing her panicking over not being able to text her brother and aside from her outburst when she first woke up.

"That's probably the best idea, we never could understand half of what Sarah said." Sam noted.

"That's Sarah for you. Even people where I'm from don't either but if you get to know her, she'll start to make sense."

'Maybe I can call Sarah? Where is she in my contacts? Jones, Jones, Jones… where've you got to?'

"What are you doing?" Frodo asked, curious as to her mysterious button pushing.

"Making a call, because for some bizarre reason I've now been connected to the middle-earth network. I can't call to Florida but maybe I can reach Sarah." Emma turned the cell phone around to show Frodo a logo next to five bars that was labeled 'MEN'.

"Men?"

"Well, I'm guessing that stands for Middle Earth Network." Emma laughed. "Anyways, having that lets me communicate with Sarah's phone so, I'm going to just that."

"So, we'll be able to send messages to the rest of the fellowship!" Sam realized.

"Oh, yes! Middle-Earth connected, now all you guys need now is a Middle Earth Facebook." Emma then epically pressed dial and unknown to the three travelers chaos erupted in the Golden Hall.

"Bless my soul, Herc was on a role!"

Grima Wormetounge got up and started looking for the source of the noise.

"I demand that you tell me where that noise is from!" Grabbing Sarah's jacket.

'Oh no! I'm to get poisoned by toxic breath! Get out of my face!'

"Figwit's come for his revenge! He's right behind you!" Sarah yelled, in the hopes of be saved from being blasted.

"Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll!"

Wormetounge quickly dropped her and she fell over while he whipped around, looking for Figwit.

"Oof!" Sarah yelled as she fell on the non-carpeted floor. "You lot need to invest in carpets." She muttered to herself.

"What a Pro! Herc could stop a show!"

"GUARDS!" Wormtoungue yelled, still looking for Figwit.

Théoden then stopped looking around the hall with a Saruman liked gaze. Clearly he had come to the conclusion the girl was insane or else he to go off to the little wizards room. Which was surprisingly high quality for a wizard's lair and included an everlasting supply of lavender hand soap and a spa. How else do you thing Saruman kept his nails that long?

"He's in the hall! He's coming for you!" Sarah Yelled, trying to distract Wormtoungue from her buzzing pocket.

"GUARDS!" Wormetounge roared. Several guards rushed into the hall and then looked very confused.

"He's a hero!"

"Find the noise and kill Figwit!"

"He was a kid with fantastic powers!"

"You'll never kill Figwit! He's not only a person but also an idea! You can't kill ideas, well you can but you'd need to go all inquisition." Sarah said from the floor but was ignored by the wormy man and guards.

The guards ran around the hall searching for the mysterious Figwit, who they had no idea what he looked like but as Guards they just assumed he'd be some buff dude with a sword and with a killing guards fetish.

"Find him!" Wormetounge shouted.

"From Zero to Hero in no time flat!"

"You'll never find him!"

"ZERO TO HERO!"

"Shut up, girl!"

"Just Like That!

"Oh, that's such a bad thing! Mr. Creeper Man with a dead animal in his mouth!"

"SHUT UP!"

Everything went quiet because Sarah's phone stopped ringing and because Eomer and Eowyn just opened the doors to the Golden Hall.

"Hm, not answering. I guess I'll leave a message." Emma muttered. "Hi, Sarah. Well this is a bit complicated but I'm in Middle-Earth and apparently so are you. So, um if you could call me back when your not being attacked that would be great. Bye!" Emma looked back at the Hobbits. "Well, I guess we can try later. So which way are we going?"

Frodo and Sam looked at each other and Frodo sighed. "We don't know."

"Ah, that's a bit problematic."

The three went off in a random direction, hoping to escape the rocky labyrinth with no end. Emma kept trying to text Oliver back as they walked and called him several time but she kept getting the same message.

"Were sorry, but we cannot reach that number at this time."

'Damn you phone person!' She thought bitterly. It was no use. Oliver was on his own, she hoped he was all right because she hadn't gotten any more texts. She frowned thinking about it and the rocks of Emyn Muil depressed her. She was in for a rough journey.

They walked more and Emma was luckily able to keep up with the hobbits despite their experience in long distance walking, which was mostly because her stride was much bigger then theirs.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed and Emma yelled. Frodo Sam ran over to her.

"It's Sarah! She's texted me! Written me a message!" She held up her phone to reveal her phone. 'Hello?'

"We'll have to keep talking to her while we walk. It's starting to get dark." Frodo said but he was pleased to see they had some communication.

'SARAH!' Emma wrote in all caps. She kept walking, waiting but it wasn't long before 'EMMMMAAAAAA!' appeared on her screen.

"Can she speak to Aragorn?" Frodo asked as they walked.

"Course!" Emma replied, smiling at being able to talk to someone from her own world.

'WHERE R U?' Frodo wants to know if Aragorn's there.' Frodo waited patiently as they walked and tried not to trip over the never-ending rocky ground.

BZZ

'I'm not with him, we got separated. They ran off to stop the hobbits from being taken to Isenguard.'

"What did she say?" Frodo asked.

"She's not with him. They got separated. I don't know why. Hold on." Emma explained, Frodo nodded solemnly.

'Ah, Sad.' Emma texted then realized that her friend was alive and not abducted by aliens. 'BUT YOU'RE ALIVE!'

BZZZ

'YESSS! YOUR IN MIDDLE EARTH!'

'I KNOW!' Frodo looked over at Emma's arm.

"Do you always have to use large letters?" he asked, trying to stop being in hobbity ring possessed mode.

Emma laughed. "No, Were just excited to talk to each other."

BZZZ

'ARE YOU IN TH EMYN MUIL!'

'YES!'

BZZZ

'COOOL!'

'UNCOOL!'

BZZ

'ITS STILL SLIGHTLY COOL!'

'Yes, but its way too cold.'

BZZZ

'Ah, bummer. Are you with hobbits 1 and 2?'

'Yep.'

BZZ

'Tell them I said Hi!'

"Frodo! Sam! Sarah says hi!"

Frodo smiled. "Tell her we say hello and that we hope she's alright."

"Rightio!" Emma said and texted away.

The Hobbits kept moving with smiles on their faces from Emma's happy texting. It then occurred to Emma that she had no idea where in middle-earth Sarah was. She wasn't with Aragorn meaning she wasn't running on the world's greatest marathon.

'Wait, where r u?'

BZZ

'Edoras with a guard named Hana!'

'There's a girl guard?' Emma frowned, as she assumed Middle-Earth had the same medieval no female guard policy. Then again, most of the Rohirim extras were women. Wait did that mean…

BZZZ

'No, he's not a girl. He very much resents that.'

'Ahhh… its just Rohan name that starts with an H. That's completely normal….'

'Oh, sorry Hannah.' Emma texted with a smile.

BZZZ

'gtg, Eomer is back. I have to escape Edoras. Wormy's here. I'll call u later!'

'Wormtoungue! Oh no.' Emma frowned.

"Is something the matter?" Frodo asked, seeing the girl's frown.

"Sarah's in Rohan. Trying to escape."

"How did she get there?"

"I've no idea."

'Be careful! Stay away from wormy!' Emma hoped she was alright, there was no telling what sort of trouble that girl could get in to.

Later that day it started to get dark and the travelers started to find a place to sleep. They finally came up to a small rocky area with a large wall that looked to Emma as if it could be climbed down by some creature that talks in the third person.

"Are you sure this is the best place?" Emma asked.

"Its no use looking any farther." Sam said. "It's much to dark."

Emma nodded and grimaced. It seemed like she was bout to be introduced to Gollum. Frodo laid down and Emma handed back Sam his cloak. He rejected it and insisted that she keep it and after much arguing the girl was forced to sleep on the cloak. Emma didn't sleep at all as she was well aware what would be climbing above her. The Hobbits didn't either and soon the creepy voice of Gollum could be heard above them.

"Their Thieves! Their Thieves!"

'OH MY GOD! HES GOING TO JUMP ON MY HEAD!' Emma shut her eyes tightly as she waited.

"Their filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it?"

'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'

They stole if from us! My Precious. Curse them! We hates them! Its ours, it is! And we wants its!"

Frodo and Sam popped up and grabbed him and Emma scooted back. Gollum threw back the hobbits and twirled around like a spinning top, no that's a rubbish comparison more like how you twist a coke cap off. The creature then spotted Frodo's evil bling and scrambled to get it.

"Perv!" Emma yelled. But Gollum didn't know what a perv was and ignored her.

Sam then epically grabbed Gollum's leg and pulled him off but then he was pushed off. His epic score on the epic meter went down a bit.

"Sam!" Emma yelled. Rushing forward a bit.

"Stay out of this!" Sam yelled as he went to pull Gollum off.

"But I'm twice your size! I could squish Gollum for you! This is no time to go all chivalrous!"

Sam, however was to busy trying to deal with the gymnastic creature to hear her. Frodo was then smashed against a rock and went unconscious. Emma panicked as she saw Frodo. 'That never happened! He needs to have his epic sting moment' Sam yelled as Gollum bit his neck. Emma stared at Frodo, willing him to wake up but he didn't move. 'Do Something Emma!' she yelled mentally to herself as Gollum was choking Sam. She looked around and spotted a pointy rock, grabbing she rushed over to Gollum and pointed it at him.

"This is a rock! You've seen one of these before! Haven't you Gollum!" The super pale creature looked at her skeptically and gave no intention of releasing Sam. 'Oh, Come on!' She thought. "I'll do something evil with it! I will and you'll regret it!" Sam was turning blue, but not really blue just… it's just an expression. Or is it an expression? Do people actually turn blue when they're being choked? Oh well, back to the story. The evil slimy creature still kept his grip. 'I don't really want to hurt him. But he's killing Sam! I have to knock him out! I've never done that before! Oh, well! Here goes nothing.' She slammed the rock over Gollum's head and the creature fell limp. 'Ah! Is he dead!' Sam rolled off Gollum, gasping for breath. 'I killed Gollum! No hang on.' She put her head to his chest and heard a thumping noise. 'Oh, good. I didn't kill one of my favorite characters.'

Sam then got up and realized Frodo was lying, unconscious. "Mr. Frodo!"

'Ah! What if Frodo's dead too!' Emma and Frodo ran over to him. Luckily he started to open his eyes. 'He's not dead! Yay! Were not all going to die!' Emma smiled.

"What happened? Where's Gollum?" Frodo asked. Emma and Sam looked at each other and told Frodo the tale of Emma's newfound epic rock smashing skills.

The next morning Gollum started screaming bloody murder. "I hate you!" yelled Emma. "All this time I thought you were so cool being all your acrobatics but no because you scream like a banshee. Worse then a banshee!"

"Stupid girl! Makes our poor head hurts! Nasty girl!"

"Shut up!" Emma yelled

"It burnses! It Freezes us! Nasty Elves twisted it. Take it off us!"

"Quiet you!" Sam yelled and Gollum proceeded to make a very unpleasant screaming noise.

"It's hopeless! Every Orc in Mordor is gonna here this racket!"

"And if they don't our ear drums will burst!" Emma yelled.

"Let's just tie him up and leave him." Sam said in agreement.

"No! That would kill us!"

"Oi, You tried to do the same to us!" Emma pointed out.

"Nasty little girl!" Gollum wailed.

"Its no more then you deserve!" Sam added.

"Ahhhhh!" Gollum wailed and did some sort of weird back wiggle thing on the ground.

"Maybe he does deserve to die." Frodo said. "but now that I seem him, I do pity him,"

"Careful." Emma pointed out. "He may be a wretched thing but he still has the power to kill us all."

"Yes, but perhaps he can change."

'Not really, but you can try Frodo.' Emma thought to herself.

Gollum got up after hearing this. "We be nice to them, if they be nice to us. Even nasty girlses. Take it off us!"

"Your not doing yourself favors by calling me nasty girlses." Emma muttered.

There was then an epic shot of Frodo, Emma, and Sam's hair whipping in a middle-earthen breeze and Frodo stepped forward a bit.

"We swears to you what you wants! We swears!"

"There's no promise you can make that I can trust."

"We swears to serve the master of the precious. We will swear on the precious. Gollum, Gollum."

'Ew, is he coughing up a hairball?'

"The ring is treacherous. It will hold you to your word."

"Yes, on the precious." Gollum said with his head downcast and creepily crawled towards them. "On the precious." He said silently.

"I don't believe you!" Sam yelled and Gollum scrambled away. Frodo grabbed his arm and Sam jerked Gollum down off a rock.

"Eek." Emma said as she ran out behind Sam to see if the weird creature was all right but thought of the night before and didn't.

"He's trying to trick us! If we let him go he'll throttle us in our sleep." Sam yelled hobbitly defiant.

'Or feed us to a giant spider. I'm not sure what's worse. Probably the Spider." Emma thought darkly epic.

Gollum gasped and rolled on the ground. Frodo epically stepped forward to talk to him.

"You know the way to Mordor?" Frodo asked with the random wind still whipping his hair around.

"Yes." Gollum said uncertainly.

Frodo knelt down and Gollum scooted back a bit.

"You've been there before?

"Yes." Gollum said, not liking where this was going. However, Frodo took off the horrible elf rope and he sort of brightened up, not really but sort of. He more looked stunned by anyways.

There was then a shot of Sam looking nervous about the whole thing and the random wind kept whipping his hair about.

"You will lead us to the black gate."

'Here we go.' Thought Emma, as she ran after the hobbits and Gollum.

"Oof!" Emma tripped and groaned. "Stupid Gollum."

Well, I hope you enjoyed and please review!
