The Diary of Jessica Gamgee
Dear Diary,
It has now been two days since my brother and his friends left. I suppose I miss Merry and Sam more than Pippin and Frodo, but I still love them all dearly. I have started to waste away, according to Holly, because I have stopped eating. I cannot live without my dear Merry. Holly has been great throughout our hard times and started helping me cook and clean around the house. She seems hurt more than me, but she cares for me just the same. If it weren't for Holly, I would probably have starved to death by now.
I cannot wait for this mission to end. Until then, I shall have to look at the statue of Merry I made of him every day to keep his face within my mind. I thrive alone on my memories, and if it weren't for them, I would not live at all. I fear that the time will come when the Shire will be no more. Now that Bag End has fallen to Lotho and the Sackville- Bagginses, I have a feeling he will want more power. Once that happens, the Shire will fall to darkness.
I will try my best to keep this from happening, but with some help from Holly, perhaps we'll join a rebellion and fight back. Until then, I shall think solely of the hobbits and hope that they survive.
