Chapter 2: Strider
I silently crept up the stairs after them, hiding in the shadows and sneaking in the door before they shut it. I watched 'Strider' carefully, making sure he wasn't going to hurt the hobbit as they talked.
"What do you want?" The hobbit asked cautiously from the floor.
"A little more caution from you. That is no trinket you carry," Strider replied.
"I carry nothing." "Indeed." Strider started putting out the candles. "I can avoid being seen if I wish...but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift." He then tugged off his hood. I must admit, he was quite handsome. My eyes widened when I realized who he was.
"Who are you?" The hobbit asked as my eyes narrowed.
"Are you frightened?" Strider sneered. "Yes," Frodo admitted hesitantly. I had just remembered the hobbits name, told to me by Gandalf.
"Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you," the Ranger looked around before walking closer to Frodo. The door creaked and Strider drew his sword as I drew mine, still in the shadows but knowing he heard me. The other three hobbits burst in with their 'weapons'.
"Let him go! Or I'll have you, Longshanks," the larger hobbit in the front said with his fists up.
"You have a brave heart, little hobbit. But that will not save you this time," I speak, coming out of the shadows while putting my sword in my sheath around my waist. The Ranger immediately put the tip of his sword to my neck. I ignored it and looked at Frodo.
"You can no longer wait for Gandalf, Frodo. They are coming," I tell him. "And who are you?" Strider asked sourly. I glared at him, pushing the sword away with my index finger and pulled the hood off my head.
My curly blonde hair fell past my shoulders, covering my pointy ears as my gray eyes studied him. "You may call me Jade." I smirked as his eyes widened the slightest bit. "Shall we take the hobbits to the inn across the street? The Black Riders will not go there."
He nods and we quickly usher the hobbits across the road after leaving a set-up for the ringwraiths and warning everyone else.
