Thanks for the review, Dark Lord Herobrine. Yes, it does have lots of potential for chaos. All I have to say is, DUH, DUH, DAAAAAAAH! And of course, enjoy!

Max:

I gasped, and nearly passed out again. This couldn't be real. This must be a dream. We were probably still in the Navy headquarters, sleeping soundly in our beds. I almost pinched myself to see if it was real, when I realized that would make me look like I was going nuts. But I think I had the right to be going nuts. We were in a freaking book! A made up story, by a dude named J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings. Oh god, what had happened?!

I had only read a part of the first book, and then it got lost in the general clutter of the house. I was cursing myself for not looking harder for it. Now I only knew what was going to happen up until the thing in the water attacked the fellowship, and snatched Frodo, the hobbit dude, the one with the ring that made you invisible.

Then, I realized, if Frodo was being visited by Merry, Pippin, and Sam, that meant, the council meeting was in two days. But wait... How long had I been out?

"Fang, how long have I been out for?" I muttered.

"Almost two whole days. Why?"

"Oh god, we're going to be late!" I said, checking my watch. 9:30. I think the council meeting was at like ten, or something close to that. Maybe 11. We had an hour max, to break out of here, and find the council meeting, all without being spotted.

I almost considered demanding to be let out, and saying that I knew what the ring was, but I figured that would start our relationships with the fellowship on a bad note.

"Late for what?!" asked Nudge, startled.

"Yeah, we're locked in here, in case you haven't noticed..." muttered Fang darkly.

"When has that ever stopped us?" said Angel.

"That's my girl!" I said, ruffling my grinning little baby's hair.

Max! I'm not your baby!

I smiled at her, and then frowned again. Should I tell my flock members what I had figured out? Yeah, definitely no question about that one.

"Hey guys..." I started.

"Yeah?" asked Iggy eagerly. "Do you know where we are?" he prompted.

"As a matter of fact, that's why I passed out..." I muttered.

"More like fainted!" snorted Gazzy.

"Shut up," I grunted, causing a round of sniggers from the flock. I rolled my eyes, and said, "Okay, this might be a little bit startling, but yeah, um... How to put it? Um... Well... We may kind of be... in a book..." I managed.

"WHAT?!" cried everyone simultaneously. "Yeah, you know, the one with all the movie trailer a couple years ago? For the third movie? With that one dude, the one we saw earlier..."

The flock members gasped, finally realizing where they had seen the man before. Because the actor that played Aragorn... Looked identical to the real Aragorn... What the heck?!

"OMG! Are we really in Lord of the Rings?!" cried Nudge, and I remembered that she had been reading the book at the same time as me, so we were at the same place.

"WOW! Legolas is such a hottie! I can't wait to meet him!" she squealed.

I rolled my eyes, "Seriously, Nudge? He's over 500 years old."

"So?! He looks like 17!"

"Nooot reaaalllly..." I muttered.

"Whatever Max," said Nudge. "So are we going to find the secret council that we're not invited to?"

"Precisely what I was thinking, since it might have already started!"

The others were staring at us, having no clue what was going on at all. I gave them a brief overview of the Hobbit, and the part of the Lord of the Rings that I had read.

"Okay, sounds like we do need to go to that council meeting. We have to beat the game to get out of here!" exclaimed Gazzy

"Um... Not exactly how I was going to put it, but yeah, that's what I was thinking too," I said, chuckling.

"Um, can't we just use the window?" Total barked.

"Oh, duh. I'm a bird-brain. Come on."

Luckily for us, the window opened, so I didn't have to bust through it. That would make a lot of noise, alerting the guards, who could possibly catch a glimpse of us flying. I lifted the window, we leapt out, one by one. I did my best to close the window again, and we glided to the ground, almost two stories below.

We crept through the halls carefully, for a good half hour, and finally, to my relief, we heard many voices arguing around the next corner.

"We've found it!" whispered Nudge excitedly. "We're not too late!"

We listened carefully to the people talking. "Can't you think of some names now? Or put it off until after dinner?" someone said.

Then Frodo squeaked, in the tiniest of voices, "I will take the ring, though I do not know the way..."

We peeked around the corner to see the same elf dude who I had run into, who I now realized was Elrond, how embarrassing, glancing pointedly at the little hobbit.

"If I understand aright all that I have heard, I think that this task is appointed to you, Frodo; and that if you do not find a way, no one will. This is a heavy burden. But if you take it freely, I will say your choice is right, and your seat shall be among the mighty elf-friends of old."

Suddenly, one of the other hobbits, Sam I think, burst from a shadowy corner where he had been hiding.

"But you surely won't send him off alone, master?!" he cried.

"No indeed" said the elf, smiling. "You at least shall go with him. It is hardly possible to separate you from him, even when he is summoned to secret council and you are not."

The hobbit blushed bright red to the tips of his ears, and sat down beside Frodo, shaking his head and muttering, "A nice pickle we have landed ourselves in, Mr. Frodo."

And that's when something happened that surprised and scared me. The book was already unraveling. Because in the book, Merry and Pippin never snuck into the council...

The two hobbits leapt from inside empty pots, and cried out in harmony, "We're coming with you!"

"We hobbits ought to stick together, and we will!" cried Pippin

"You have to tie us up and carry us home in sacks to stop us!" cried Merry.

"There must be someone with intelligence in the party!"

Gandalf burst into hearty laughter, and cried, "Then you will certainly not be chosen, Peregrin Took!"

Luckily, Gazzy's snort was not heard because everyone else was laughing. Or at least I though it wasn't. But apparently Elrond had very good ears.

"Who's there?" he said, peering down the hallway where our heads had just been peeking out, watching the council meeting. Then the voice spoke in my head:

Reveal yourselves. You must earn trust, and join the fellowship.

I really didn't want to, but I stepped out from behind the corner, revealing myself to the startled people in the courtyard.

"How long have you been listening?" Elrond seethed. "Tell me, children, are you spies of Sauron?"

"Oh no, no, no, haha, spies of Sauron, good one!" said Nudge, popping out from behind me. Gazzy and Iggy jumped out from behind the wall, shouting "Tada!" and Fang walked out, Angel in tow, and sighed heavily.

"Do not underestimate us. We know many things. We know who the hobbits are. That's Merry, And that's Pippin. That's Sam, and Frodo, and Bilbo," I said, pointing at each of the hobbits in turn.

Every person, elf and dwarf ogled us, mouths open.

"Also, that's Legolas Greenleaf, of the wood elves, and that is Galadriel, there's Gandalf, Boramir, Aragorn, also known as Strider, and of course, who could forget, Gimli, son of Gloin,"

Everyone was in absolute shock. I was thoroughly enjoying this. Of course, the Voice had to be annoying, and ruin my pleasure.

Are you sure that what you are doing is wise?

"Anyways, please continue your debating, oh wise council!" Fang said, plopping down beside Sam, who yelped, and scooted five feet away from him, shoving Frodo into Bilbo, who knocked over Pippin and Merry.

"Oi! Watch it!" cried Pippin, pushing Merry off of him.

"Who are you children?" said Gandalf at last. People all over the room were glaring daggers at us. Then Angel spoke, "Hey, no need to freak out, we're friendly, and we just want to help."

Everyone sighed at once, and relaxed. Angel winked at me, and I sighed. My adorable little 7 year old, brainwashing entire rooms of people.

"So, this brings us to the matter of who to escort the hobbits to their destination." said Elrond.

"Where are we going again?" asked Pippin, and people sniggered. He looked around, confused, to everyone's amusement. Nobody bothered to answer the dorky hobbit.

"I will come, for better or for worse," said Boramir out of the sniggers.

Aragorn stood up silently, "You have my sword."

"And my bow," said Legolas.

"And my axe," added Gimli.

"And our awesome kick-butt ninja parkour skills," Gazzy chimed in.

The whole flock burst into laughter at the faces of the middle-earthians. They probably hadn't gotten a thing Gazzy had said.

" Are you saying you wish to come with us?" asked Legolas, in absolute shock.

"Well duh..." I muttered.

"You are merely children, spies or no! This is a very dangerous quest, meant for men, not young women!" Boramir glared at her pointedly.

"Yeah deadly smeadly, faced it all before, been there, done that, lived to tell the tale." Nudge babbled.

"Yeah, what she said," I sighed. "Also, that was just sexist, okay?"

Boramir shrugged, "The only place for women is in the kitchens."

I gave him my wolf stare, and he just scowled at me.

Everyone looked at Elrond for advice. He shrugged and addressed Boramir, "If these younglings are so foolish as to wish for an early death, so be it. You will need all the help you can get. But I fully expect the six will be back here within three days time."

I snorted. How little they knew. My flock members were probably the safest ones on the quest, considering we could fly to safety at a moment's notice. I shuddered. Not in the Mines of Moria though. And even worse, I didn't know if anything was going to happen down there. But I had a pretty good feeling there was going to be something major. Otherwise, the book would get really boring, walking endlessly through the dark and all.
