Good Bye Frodo Baggins


I'm alone. I'm not needed anymore. When I was Ring-bearer I was needed, I was apart of something, but now. . I'm just not needed. Sam now has Rosie, Bilbo is gone, Pippin and Merry have each other, Legolas is the Prince of Mirkwood and he and Gimli are now best friends, Gandalf has just about everyone in the world, Elrond has Arwen and his Son-in Law Aragorn, Aragorn has his wife, Boromir is gone, and I've got nobody and I'm never wanted.

If I were to disappear who would care? Who would mind that the ex-ring bearer is dead? No one would mourn, no one would care. There is a reunion in Rivendale in a few days, I will not be attending.

Pain is an escape, when there is pain, everything else is gone. I know pain, I held the fate of Middle Earth once so I know pain and suffering. When there is pain all thoughts of loneliness are gone, all memories of being needed are gone.

When I am gone there is one person I'll miss, Sam. He has been completely faithful to me during the trip to and from Morodor, but he now has a family and I'm slowing him down. Every time he thinks I'm hurt or sick he is always there. I don't want to be a burden any more. I will be gone by the time they come tomorrow.

I cut with Sting and the familiar sensation of pain comes to save me. I don't stop were I usually do, I cut harder tonight. The blood runs down my arms and legs and I'm free from everything but pain.

The door to Bag-End opened. "Frodo?" A voice asked as I collapsed on the floor, my vision began to fade. "Oh my God! Frodo? What did you do? SAM COME HERE!" Aragorn yelled as he knelt next to me and gently picked me up. This wasn't supposed to happen! No matter, I will not be a burden anymore.

"Yeah Strider. Oh my God! FRODO! NO FRODO WHAT DID YOU DO?" Sam cried as he walked into the room. Before long my vision was completely gone, but before I slept I heard people cry for me. Sam was weeping bitterly and Gandalf's voice trying to calm him. I think I even heard Aragorn cry.

Maybe I was needed.
