Chapter 10: The Beginning.
Cavca's POV..........
I felt a nudge at my shoulder and heard a crashing near me. As the ground shook slightly, I opened my eyes to see a dark figure sprawled across the floor in front of me. I sat up and looked at Frodo.
"Trying to sneak out, are you?" I said glancing at the wall clock. It was 5:15. "Sam and Tersa would have followed you anyway, you know. There's no way to stop them when they want something."
"If what you said is true, about this being more than I know, then I can't endanger them. I have to go alone," he said quietly.
I sighed. "Listen, you're not going alone. You have no idea where you're going and Gandalf won't let you go alone. He's smarter than you think and he's sending us with you. I'm not going to let you go alone."
"Why do you care? Who are you anyway? Where did you come from and why were you sleeping in the hall?!"
"To make sure you didn't leave without Sam, at least."
"Why do you care?"
"I've lived my entire life wishing I could be a friend of you, Pip, Merry, and Sam. Now that ¾ of you will talk to me sanely, I'm not about to let them and you plunge head first into something that is far greater than they realize. You're going to need our help. That, and let's put it this way, if you leave them here, I'll track you down and tie you up and give Tersa your leash."
Frodo's big blue eyes got wider, showing fear. They then narrowed as he glared at me.
"You wouldn't!"
"Wanna bet?"
He sighed and got up. He walked into the living room and sat in the armchair and watched over Tersa and Sam. I leaned up against the front door and fell asleep..............
Tersa's POV.........
I awoke when it was still dark. I sat up and found Cavca leaning against the door and Frodo sitting in a nearby armchair. Gandalf was kneeled next to me.
"It is time to go, Tersa," he whispered. After I blinked in his direction a few times, he moved on to wake up Sam.
"Come," Gandalf said once everyone had gathered their things. "You have far to go today."
He led us to the edge of Bywater Pool and turned back toward us.
"I've told Frodo to meet me at Bree. Follow the main road once outside of the Shire. Now, don't you lose him, Samwise Gamgee," he said glaring more at Frodo than looking at Sam. "Stay together. Don't run off alone and don't split up!" He sighed and looked down on us from his horse. "Don't give up. No matter the challenge, I have faith in you."
I was sad to see him go. Especially because I knew the tortures he'd have to endure with Saruman. Poor Dalfy. I wish I could warn him, but that would seriously mess with the plot. One thing's for sure, though. I'm not about to let him die. I don't care what it'll do to the plot. I'm not letting the Balrog get him.................
Lenquo's POV............
You know, I've been learning to cherish my off days, not that I do much on those days either. I mean all I do anymore is lay in my room or sleep. Currently, I'm no my floor counting the elaborate ceiling tiles.
"Um, excuse me, would you happen to know where Lady Arwen is?" I heard a deep voice behind me ask. I sat up and turned around. There, in front of me stood Aragorn, son of Arathorn. In shock, I stood up, facing him.
Arwen appeared beside him.
"Oh, there you are Bunny-kins.(AN: Don't ask.) I see you've met Lenquo. Lenquo, this is-" Arwen started, but was interrupted by my scream.
"Greasy hair boy!!!" I screamed glomping him.
"HEY!!" Arwen yelled. "Hands off the merchandise! He's mine, Got IT?!!"
"Jeese, Arwen, I was just saying hello to the last remaining heir to the throne of Gondor. Chill out. Of course he's yours. You can't have all his children if I stole him from you. And there such cute little halfas. Why would I try to take my friend's boyfriend?" I said letting go of Aragorn.
"Wait, you know who he is?" Arwen asked calming down and clinging to Aragorn.
"Of course, who doesn't?"
"Right, well, we're gonna go now," Arwen said leading Aragorn away.
I sighed and plopped down on my bed and fell asleep............
Cavca's POV...............
We were walking through an open wheat field, Frodo leading and myself trailing. Tersa was having issues with the burs that seemed to attach themselves to her pants out of spite. It was amusing to see her try to pick them off.
"Give it up, Ters," I said helping her up. She sighed and walked ahead of me slightly. She was walking backwards babbling on.
"We have to save him," she said suddenly. The look in her eyes told me she was talking about Gandalf.
"I know," I said.
"Now, I know it'll mess with the plot but, -did you just say, you know?"
"Yeah. We can't let him die. It doesn't matter if he doesn't become Gandalf the White, we can't let Frodo and Sam think that Gandalf is dead. It's just not right."
"Wow," Tersa said looking shocked. "I figured you'd be trying to keep the plot."
"Yeah, well, we can't let Gandalf die. He's one of our oldest and dearest friends, along with Bilbo. It'd be terrible."
"This is it," I heard Sam say from a little in front of us. "If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been."
It took me a second to realize that Tersa was too close to Sam as she was walking backwards. By the time I started to stop her, she'd smacked into Sam, causing both of them to be slammed into the ground about three feet from where Sam had first been standing. Frodo and I helped them up.
"No time like the present," I said helping Sam up. I walked ahead as Tersa apologized to Sam.............
