DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE HOBBITS.
Young Frodo Baggins (Only 12 or so) lived with his mother and father.
The morning was shining bright through the
windows in Frodo's bedroom. Under the covers Frodo awoke, and pushed his covers off of himself. He sat up.
Something was different today, The usual scent of fresh breakfast that leaked under his door every morning
was gone. Slowly he crawled out of bed, he opened the door to the
kitchen expecting his parents sitting there, nothing was there. He looked at the
table, and remembered his 12th birthday only a few weeks ago, the cake with 12
burning candles, and the smiling faces of his parents.
All of Frodo's playmates envied him for his parents, Mrs. Baggins always had some freshly baked
cookies and rice cakes for the children, and a smiling face to go with it, Mr.
Baggins always spent a few hours a day with his son, and Helped him with his
school work. Frodo went out of the kitchen to go sneak into his parent's
bedroom, he opened it, but this too was empty. "That's odd" Frodo murmured to
himself. He searched the rest of the house, it too was empty, he saw that
his Parents hat and coat was missing. They never went anywhere without
him.... but he thought, This must be a surprise, maybe they went to buy me a
present!. He smiled, and jumped on the couch to wait.
~meanwhile~
An urgent knock sounded at Brandy hall, "Get the door!" someone shouted in one of
the many rooms. Esmerlda shouted "Just a minute" and went to answer the
door, a white faced man, or hobbit rather, was there gasping for breath as if he had run a long
distance. "Whatever is the matter? You look as if you have seen a ghost." Mrs.
Brandybuck said. "Two...two....dead..." the man said between gasps.
"WHAT?" Mr. Saradoc Brandybuck came to join his wife, "Dead you say?
Two? Hobbits?" Saradoc asked, "Yes.... two.... they look as if they've drowned"
"who?" "Primula,... and Drogo Baggins" Saradoc face turned white, and he grabbed
his coat. "Show me."
Frodo was getting impatient, Where were they? It was getting late, he was hungry, and
there was no sign that they were coming home.. "Well," Frodo said to himself, "I guess
I'll just have to go look for them." His determined look passed his face, and he marched towards the door,
(forgeting about his coat)And Started down the road, to the market.
Many people were gathered around the edge of the River. Frodo pushed through them. Two bodies lay on the
shore of the Brandywine, Two hobbits were white with deathly looks on their faces.
Frodo gasped in horror, as he identified them as his parents.
