Chapter one

I cannot take life in Hobbiton much longer. My love for Frodo Baggins grew stronger when he went off to 'save the Middle Earth'. Some people think he is mad but I don't really know what to believe. When he returned I saw a different Frodo, and a different Merry.

Frodo no longer smiled, he seemed distant and did not talk to me. I have known him all my life, and it hurt so much for him to not listen to me, to stare right through me as if I am not there.

When I saw Merry, I knew he had seen some terrible things. When I spoke to him he just gave me halfhearted sentences. I love them all too much to see them in pain, but they do not love me. I was once a great friend but they no longer even see me.

As I sit here, the small groupings of trees. I do not expect to be noticed missing for a while. No one walks here at night. I can stay until it gets lighter then travel to Bree. I can then set up my way to another part of the Shire.

I hear a rustle behind me. Oh no what is it?? Nothing stirs here at night! Never! Its unheard of! There it is again. I am so scared what is it!?!?
