J.R.R Tolkien does. I'm pretty sure you, readers, know that though. I mean... Sorry, sorry. I'm getting off topic here. Lol)
Chapter 1: An Uninvited Guest:
(A.N. This happens a few years later after Frodo leaves the Shire.)
Sam's P.O.V (point of view; I will be using this a lot later on in my story so you should know what P.O.V means)
I was looking at the book which Frodo gave me before he left. The journey we had been through. How it started. How it ended. The sad moments. The happy moments. The friends we met on the way. I couldn't believe Frodo was gone. It shouldn't have ended like this. It still brought tears to my eyes when I played back the memory of him leaving. Pippin and Merry were heartbroken too. They had been tagged along with us on our journey to destroy the ring. The four of us, Frodo, Pippin, Merry and I, were always together. It started out with just Frodo and I but then we met Pippin and Merry who started following us everywhere. With one of us gone, we didn't feel complete. But I had to let go of that feeling. I had to move on with my life. There were other things to do than to sit and mourn for my best friend. I was married now to Rosie Cotton. I also had 2 children, Elanor and Gaffer. Rosie had taken the kids to a park they had wanted to go to. I decided to stay at home to clean the house up a bit. I had finished and I was sitting in my living room, when a knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I walked over to it saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming", as the knocking grew louder and more rapidly. I opened the door to see a strange man there holding a piece of paper between his chubby fingers. He was about my height but half a head shorter. We hobbits are around half the size of a fully grown man.
"May I help you?" I asked politely.
"Hello" the man replied.
"Hi. Is there anything that I can help you with?" I repeated
"Lovely weather we're having today, eh?" the man said, as if he was ignoring every word I said.
"Yes, but is there anything you need?" I said back, feeling a little annoyed.
"Hi, my name is Tom Feeler. (A.N. Idk. I made that name up) Are you Sam Gamgee?"
"Uh, yes, I'm Sam. Is something wrong?" My thoughts immediately went to Rosie and the kids.
"No, no. Nothing wrong. Just here to tell you what Frodo Baggins left behind for you", Tom said, waving the piece of paper in front of my face. Frodo? He left something for me? I thought.
"May I come in?" he asked, peeking around me to get a better look inside my house.
"Yes, of course. Come on in" I said, still thinking about Frodo.
"Would you like some tea?" I asked as Tom went to sit down on one of my couches in the living room
"Yes, thank you, but no sugar." he replied, his eyes glistening as he took in every little detail in my house. I walked to the kitchen to make two cups of tea, one with sugar and one without. When I returned, I noticed Tom looking at my book shelf. I smiled as I gave him his cup. Maybe he was a bookworm too, like me. Then his eyes fell on the book that I was reading earlier. He got up, picked up the book from the center table and went back to his place on the couch to read it. A good thirty minutes went by and Tom still hadn't got on to why he was here. I watched his face change with every part of the story. It was quite funny but I was very tempted to reach out and grab that piece of paper from him.
"Ahem", I cleared my throut, hoping that he would look up and tell me what Frodo meant to give me, but he didn't. I cleared my throut a few more times, and with each time, getting louder and louder. Tom finally looked up at me and his face turned concerned.
"Are you ok?" he asked, as if something was wrong with me.
"Aren't you going to tell me why you came?" I said, my voice raising a bit.
"I came to tell you what left you" he said.
"Yes I know that, but can you tell me what he left me?"
"Oh my, look at the time. I should be leaving. I will come back same time, the day after tomorrow to finish. Nice meeting you Mr. Gamgee." He walked to the door but he stopped and turned around.
"Could you do me one more favor, Mr. Gamgee? Please tell Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took to meet me here too, for Frodo left them something too." And like that, he was gone. I was still sitting on my chair, my mouth half open. I quickly got up and made sure that the book was not able to be seen. I didn't want any distractions tomorrow. God, that man really gets on my nerves.
(So how is it so far? Good or bad? Tell me what you think by commenting. Also, tell me if you have any ideas about what I should do for the next chapter. I really have no idea. I just made this up right now 'cause I'm so bored. I might not have time to post the next chapter 'cause I'm on vacation. So yea. Don't forget to review. Thxxx :)
