Chapter One - SNEAK PEAK
«SNEAK PEAK»
She slowly crept into the Hobbits' quarters without a sound. The wind howled and rushed through the open window, but she did not shiver at the cold. She was there for one purpose, and one purpose only. Examining the room, she first looked to where Pippin was sleeping with the covers over his curly head, and then to Merry and Sam, until she finally came to ... Frodo. He had something she needed. Something that was ... stolen. A very precious object...
Crawling over to where he slept, her head looked this way and that. Much to her relief, the others still snoozed silently in their beds. Looking back at Frodo, she flicked a strand of hair out of her view and thought for a moment. He wouldn't keep it in a drawer somewhere. It was far too valuble. He would have it with him.
She drew the covers back carefully, scared to wake him. She gave a cry of dismay and heard it echo throughout the whole town of Bree. A hand covered her mouth and she jumped. Turning bright red with embarrassment and anger when she realised that it was her own, she held her head in her hands. A sharp pain echoed throughout her head as her nails dug into her scalp. It wasn't there, and neither was Frodo. Cursing, she fell to her knees and let out another loud growl.
Movement flashed outside the Hobbits' quaters. Her head jerked up as footsteps approached the little wooden door, heavy and slow. Thump ... thump ... thump...
Her eyes narrowed. "Nazgûl."
Unsheathing her sword Nehtar, she looked for a way out. Moments after she saw the window wide open, and she was gone.
