Starlight

Chapter 4

Stumbling Hobbits

Before on Starlight:

Aragon preferring to be on the safe side, slept in front of the door.

That night of slight, while restful, did not keep my dreams away. All of which were filled with a blue eyed elf. How I wish you would feel something for me my mate.

Continuing on Starlight:

As Aragon snored, I sat staring out the fogged window. Sleep like I predicted did not come well to me. If I calculated correctly I must have gotten only four hours of sleep – a shame indeed. My nightmares are getting worse, the darkness that swallows me scares me. Are they telling me something? Maybe my future? Am I destined to live alone in the darkness? Does this have to do with Legolas?

…My heart clenched as his name. Of course the Lady of the Heavens just had to give me a mate that didn't want me. Two mates in fact…Edward and now apparently my true mate. Was this what I was destined to…to live out my immortal life alone.

This wretched pain in my heart is killing me. Will I die of a broken heart?

"Bells…"

Tears streaked my face as I turned to Aragon. His face was plastered with concern. Only he knew the pain I faced. As he was destined to be with my sister…a human and a elf…the Lady above really likes to play jokes does she not?

"The pain is worsening…" my whisper broken to my ears.

He lets out a loud curse – "mac soith"

He sits next to me and holds my hand, "you are strong my little Bell, do not let one man tear you down."

I squeezed his hand, feeling the pressure match my own, "and yet that one man is my own mate, Aragon."

I got up then thinking it best to end the subject less I wanted my heart to stop.

Deciding to keep a low profile today, Aragon and I stayed in our chambers. Although, I left briefly to fetch us some grub.

"So Gandalf thinks it's the one ring…" whispering quietly.

I nod, "he has given it to Frodo, a hobbit, to keep safe."

Aragon snorts, "Only Gandalf would do that."

…

We sat at the corner of a bar, in the dark hours of the night. Our hoods covered our faces, we were waiting for something yet knew not of what it was.

The door creaked open at the Prancing Pony, in stumbled four hobbits. The dark haired one looking to be the leader of their group. Speaking to the bar tender they sat at a table.

I tapped Aragon's arm to notify him, nodding at the four peculiar hobbits. His response…a nod.

One of the younger hobbits comes back to the group carrying a tall glass of mead.

The one next to him gazes in aw, "What is that?"

Taking a sip, he says, "That my friend is a pint!"

"I'm getting one!"

"You have had a whole half already," yells the rounder one.

The one, I believe to be Frodo, stops the bartender, "who are they?" I hear him say.

The bartender looks at us, "They some of them rangers. Dangerous folk they are – wandering them forests. Don't know no name – however the one to the right is known as strider…as for the other, I know nothing.

With that he walks away.

…

"Sure I know Baggins, he is right over there…"one of the hobbits says.

Frodo stands up and stumbles away before falling. I caught a flash of gold and the next thing I know the hobbit is gone. Aragon and I are at alert looking for the disappeared hobbit. Walking towards the group Aragon grabs the now visible hobbit.

"You draw far too much attention to yourself ."

We pull him up the stairs and I already knew the other hobbits were on their way.

Aragon threw him into our room and I follow in behind quietly shutting the door.

"What do you want?" Asks Frodo with a quiver to his voice.

"A litter more caution from you. That is no mere trinket you carry." Aragon douses the candles and covers the windows.

"I carry nothing."

I snort and Frodo quickly turns to me, eying me cautiously.

"Indeed."

He looks to Frodo, " I can avoid being seen if I wish. But to disappear entirely, now that is a rare gift."

Frodo eyes him, "Who are you?"

Aragon answers, "Are you frightened?"

"Yes."

"Not nearly frightened enough, we know what hunts you." With this Aragon looks right at me. Yes I know what hunts him, as I have seen them closing in.

The door flies open and in falls three other hobbits. I, along with Aragon, draw our swords.

The round one, now known as Sam growls, "Let him go! Or I will have you Longshanks!"

"You have a stout heart little hobbit, but that will not save you." Aragon nods to me and then proceeds to sheath his sword. I follow soot and sheath mine as well.

I look to the hobbits, "Your room is not safe anymore little ones, you must stay here tonight."

With this Aragon adds to Frodo, "You can no longer wait for the wizard Frodo. They are coming…"

Another chapter in place!

Please review and tell me what you all think!?
