Suddenly they heard a sound from the forest.
"Who's there?" Gandalf asked. Someone who looked like an elf came out of the trees. She was dressed completely in black, had pitch-black hair, and had very pale skin. To tell the truth, she looked as though she belonged in a mortuary. She did not seem at all surprised to find an elf aiming a bow at her, a wizard aiming a staff at her, a dwarf aiming an axe at her, and a man's sword pointed at her chest.
"Let me see him" She said. The man looked at the wizard, and then at the man bent over a hobbit.
"All right," The wizard said, "Boromir" The man moved, but she was still aware that everyone else still had their weapons aimed at her. She looked at the wound.
"What did this?" She asked, looking around at the people. Pippin handed her his sword. She inspected it, and seemed to know what to do.
"You," She said, pointing to Legolas. "Do you know what lavender looks like?"
"Yes" Legolas replied, cautiously.
"There's some in that bag," She pointed to a bag near the tree which had fallen. Legolas did a double take. He could have sworn that it hadn't been there a few minutes ago. "Bring it here. No, on second thoughts bring the whole bag here" He obeyed. She took some lavender and pressed it on the wound. This seemed to ease Frodo's breathing. She took some more herbs out of the bag and looked at Legolas.
"Can I have some water? I need to wash the wound" Legolas gave her the water from one of their own bags. She washed the wound and pressed even more herbs onto the wound.
"Do you have any bandages?" She asked.
"There's some in the medical supplies from Master Elrond" Legolas replied.
"I'll get them" Pippin said, wanting to do something to help Frodo. Gandalf, painfully aware of what Pippin could be like, said, "Bring the whole bag" He returned minutes later and she bandaged the herbs against the wound.
"All you can do now is keep him warm and still and hope for the best." She helped them take him back to where they had made camp. She gathered up her herbs and began explaining to Legolas what to do if Frodo got worse.
"Lavender, rosemary and foxglove were all I put on, but the rosemary and fox glove must be exactly the same amount. If there is too much foxglove then it will poison him and if there is too much rosemary then it will not heal him. And you must wash the wound every time you re-apply the medicine."
"I understand," He replied, "Who are you?"
"I am Shadow"
"Is that your real name?"
"It is what everyone call me"
"What is your real name?"
"I don't have one"
"Where do you come from?"
"I come not from Rivendell, Lothlorien, or Mirkwood"
"Where do you come from?"
"The forest, and to the forest I must return." She began to walk away.
"Wait," Gimli said, "What if he gets worse? Where can we find you?"
"If he gets worse," She replied, "I will find you" She walked into the forest and the moment she entered the darkness they saw, nor heard, nothing of her…
