Where there is Light, There is Shadow
Ok, I was reading over my older stuff, and I realized that it was in desperate need of a revision. Seeing as I have definitely improved since I first posted this story (and that's not bragging, I would be hard not to improve), I have decided to go back and fix it up. Yeah, I got rid of chapter 1, or the prologue, seeing as it wasn't entirely necessary, and added some new stuff as well as keep the good stuff from the original. So yeah, here's the long overdue revision of my first fanfic.
Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or any work that J.R.R.Tolkien created. I'm doing this solely for my own amusement.
Chapter One: One Moody Hobbit
Frodo moodily walked through the dark, dank passages of Moria, thinking over what had brought him to this current position. He was interrupted by the ring's sad attempt to corrupt his mind.
''Kill, kill, kill, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL!!'
"Oh shut up!" Frodo said wearily getting confused glances from the others. "Sorry...umm…not directed at you…" he said sheepishly. The confused glances upgraded to full fledged stares.
"Oh my, it's finally happened." Pippin whispered "Frodo has officially cracked." Merry and Pippin burst out laughing, both receiving a sharp thwack from Gandalf's staff.
"Everyone keep moving! Frodo, a word please?" The wizard asked.
Frodo sighed and moved to join the wizard at the front of their party. Gandalf motioned for them to continue. "I assume that the ring was the reason for your little, ah, moody outburst?" He asked.
"MOODY OUTBURST!?" Frodo exclaimed "Whoever said anything about moody outbursts?! I'M not moody, AT ALL! Nope, not me! If YOUR looking for MOODY, YOU'RE going to have to look ELSEWHERE, because we're all out of stock! Maybe you should try AGAIN in a few days, because YOU NEVER KNOW! We just MIGHT be getting a SURPRISE SHIPMENT!" Ranted Frodo.
"Ahem" Gandalf coughed, raising an eyebrow.
'Oh… I guess I am moody then." Frodo realized. "Well, it's been nice talking to you,"
"Glad to help." Said the Wizard, feeling slightly confused, but quite pleased with himself.
The fellowship moved on, and Frodo found himself staring at Gandalf's staff, bobbing up and down and up and down and up and down. So mesmerized wad he, that he failed to notice the staff suddenly stop, and he smacked right into the wizard.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed, or tried to, as just then Sam walked into him followed by Legolas, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Borromir, and Aragorn, who all went down in a heap.
There was a lot of muttering, and cursing as the fellowship all got off the floor. "FOOL OF A TOOK!" was all that Gandalf would say. Frodo sighed again. It was going to be a long day.
Well, hope you enjoyed!
