Me: No one kill me!! Dodges Random Flying objects including a pitchfork coming from Nymredil I was supposed to have this updated 4 weeks ago but the internet on my part of the computers doesn't work, so I had to find a way to transfer this file to my dads screen to get it on the internet. Confusing? It was and it was really annoying too.

At least 1 or maybe two more chapters to go. I have a favor to ask after I end this.

NOW READ!!

................

That night Frodo could not sleep. Visions of the quest and Sam kept popping into his head tormenting him until tears poured from his eyes. Once in awhile someone would walk by outside and he would bite his tongue to stop his sobs from drawing attention and comfort which would never help him.

The 4th time someone walked by, Frodo suddenly felt cold and a slight sense of forbidding. As if someone had covered him with a blanket of ice from head to toe.

Slowly he raised his tear stained face and looked over at the door which was open a crack and watched the light of the candles outside flicker softly as someone walked by.

Quietly Frodo got out of bed and walked over to the door. He knew there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. But after all that had happened, how could he believe that?

He peaked his head around the corner and looked across the white, marble hallway at a room at the other end also for the sick. Standing in front of it was the most hideous woman Frodo had ever seen.

Her hair was dirty and ragged, hanging around her pale ashen face full of scars and burns. Eyes like black coal burned in skull like sockets.Her dress was that of rags and was covered in dirt and blood hiding the true color from any eye. And Frodo watched as a gnarled, clawed hand reached out for the door handle, and glided in.

Now, it was not like Frodo to judge someone for their looks. In Fact, he would have pitied the poor woman if it would not have been for the piercing hate and forbidding welling up inside of him. There was something about this woman that made him feel, as if every tear he had shed, was her fault.

A few minutes passed bye and the candles burned lower on the walls. Sleep was beckoning Frodo back into the room, but he refused to leave his spot until he could see the woman again.

Another minute passed, before the door handle turned and the woman glided out with a small smile on her face. Frodo glared at her and as if sensing the hate, she turned and her gaze met his.

Hatred flared inside Frodo like it never had before. Now he knew that this woman was the one who had taken his Sam away from him. Taken his best friend and left him to stumble in the everlasting darkness of his life alone. With only his guilt and loneliness to accompany him.

The woman continued to stare at him almost in shock, and then very slowly sadness crossed her face and a single tear fell down her ashen cheek. And with that, all the candles in the hallway blew out and she disappeared leaving Frodo alone in the dark. As he always would be.

And little did Frodo know that there was a man in the room across the hall. A man who had fought in the war. And that the next morning, the man would be found dead.

.....................

The next morning for Frodo was the least that he could bare. Everyone had come to visit him and given him their sympathy. Some came with tears, and others came with a small nod. Either way, Frodo didn't feel any better about it but was happy to know everyone else had come through.

After, merry and pippin had brought up Frodos breakfast and forced him to eat it, (" Frodo, you can't starve yourself. Besides, you have to at least try some of the food before Pippin eats it all. Pip:" "Hey!") He quickly got dressed in some new, proper clothes and headed out.

At the entrance of the house of Healing, He found Gandlaf, Legolas, and his two cousins waiting for him. Quickly he put on the best smile he could manage and ran up to them.

"Good morning Frodo.' Said Gandalf smiling.

Frodo nodded but kept his mouth shut. He felt slightly embarrassed after crying in front of him and vowed he wouldn't look him in the eye for at least an hour or two.

"Aragorn is waiting for you Frodo. He wants to have a word."

Frodo tensed slightly but nodded. Aragorn he somehow felt he could trust more now. Slowly he fallowed Gandalf to the top of Minas Tirith where the white tree stood. Merry and the others slowly fallowed in his wake and the large crowd of people hushed as they seen Frodo and the others.

They walked quickly straight threw the crowd and into the white building in which they found Aragorn standing waiting.

Frodos eyes met Aragorn and it seemed to him as if his friend had turned into something he had never thought he would be. The ranger he once knew was clad in Kingly robes and had a serious knowing look upon his face. The face of a man who had seen many battles and deaths that could never be erased from his mind.

Frodo went to bow but Aragorn put his hand on his shoulder. "You are my friend Frodo." he told him. "You have no need to bow before Me." he turned to the others and nodded. "I will join the rest of you in a minute."

The others slowly walked outside shutting the large white door behind them. By now, Frodo felt extremely alone. As if a verse in his life had not been played. If Sam had been their, he would have hesitated to stay with Frodo and would probably be beside him right now. But as his eyes fell at the spot beside him there was nothing but air and dust.

Aragorns hand squeezed his shoulder softly and he kneeled down so he was eye level with him. Frodo look up slowly until his eyes were looking directly into Aragorns and the king gave a heavy sigh. "You have seen too much for someone of your kind." he said softly. "By my knowledge hobbits were never meant to go on such adventures. But you have proven yourself gratefully."

Frodo slowly nodded. He had known that he and the line of his family had gone on a few adventures in their lives. Many adventures in which the other folk in the shire thought were ridiculous. Bilbo had had one of the greatest of the age, but now he knew his own would take his place.

"I have no reason to feel proud of myself." he said rather quickly. The words had burst from his mouth out of no where and he wondered why he had said them.

Aragorns eyes saddened and he shook his head. "You saved us all Frodo. You did something none of us could have accomplished. And what is even greater of an achievement is that you had a friend with you to share your suffering and feelings with."

"But that friend is no longer he because of me." Frodo whispered holding back tears.

Aragorn was quiet for a moment. Letting the sound of the chatter outside creep to their ears. He slowly stood up and walked over to the window gazing out across the white city below. "Death Frodo, is something no one should blame themselves for. Everyone must face it some day. And for some, death comes to soon." he explained.

Frodo listened intently.

"Someday, I will die like the rest if my kin. And may it hope that won't be for a long time. For my City needs me. I have a deed to fulfill. Sam's deed was to help you through your quest and make sure you lived to see the light of day again." he turned to Frodo and nodded. "And his deed was fulfilled for you stand before me."

Frodo stood their still as stone letting Aragorns words wash over him. Sam had fulfilled his deed to the highest. He had stuck with him even when he didn't trust him anymore. He still came to help. But, now that Sam was gone and the quest was over, didn't that mean his deed was fulfilled too?

Aragorn stared at Frodos face for a moment as if sensing his thought and stepped toward him. "You must go find Gandalf now my friend. But before you leave one word of advice. Coming not from a king, but a friend."

Frodo nodded.

"Gaze at the light of day as the opportunity is laid before you. For your deed has also been fulfilled Frodo. And it won't be long before death comes to realize it."

Frodos ears rung slightly with the words and he smiled. "I will Aragorn. For Sam's sake and mine and yours as well."

And with that, he headed out.
