One Ring To Rule them all…

A/N: Okay here's ch.3! Enjoy!

Several Years later….

Adela had finally adjusted to the Shire, and had come to love it very much. She would sometimes leave Hobbiton to read or think where she would not be disturbed, but other than that she spent most of her days and nights talking to friends.

One day Adela, Frodo, Merry, and Sam were all over at Pippin's house playing cards.

"Ha-Ha! I win!" Merry cried.

"Oh really, lets all jump for joy!" Adela cried sarcastically.

"You can't win em' all, Adela." Pippin said as he shuffled the card deck.

"yeah well I can win most of them!" Adela said with a smirk.

"You're on…" Merry said in a low voice, trying to sound threating.

"May the best man…or woman win." Adela said also in a low growling voice.

The game went on forever, and soon spectators started betting on who would win. Adela glared at her cards for awhile. A smile rose on her face.

"why are you smiling?" Merry grunted.

"I-Win" Adela held the words out for awhile and then finally smacked her cards down on the small coffee table they were playing on.

"n-no way!" Merry stuttered out.

"Good game." Adela put her hand out for a hand shake.

Merry still shocked took her hand lightly. There were several men who were just as upset as Merry was because they lost there bet.

"Well at least its over." Sam sighed.

Frodo nodded in agreement. Adela told the others she was going for a walk and would be back soon, Frodo disagreed.

"Aren't you hungry its about time for lunch?"

"Oh no thank you!" Adela said as she opened the door.

Frodo was about to stop her but she was already gone. Frodo sighed. Everyone headed into the kitchen for lunch, except Frodo.

"shes been acting strange ever since Gandalf left." Frodo whispeared to himself.

"Frodo, If you don't come in and eat, I'm gonna eat it for ya!" Pipin called from the kitchen.

"I'm coming…" Frodo called as he entered the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adela walked past the busy part of Hobbiton until she found a great oak tree in which she decided to climb.

'Many probably think I'm strange….I mean most hobbits stay as close to the ground as they can get, but I go climbing huge trees, but I'm different from all of them….any of them.' Adela thought to herself as she found a suitable branch to lean on.

All of a sudden she felt something stick into her side. Adela reached down to find a cold metal. Adela pulled it out to see what it was, it was her dagger. Adela had many daggers in her bag but this one had elfish marking on it and also had a small blue stone on the hande. Adela tried to make out what the marking said, but it was a form of elvish which she had never seen before. Adela frowned and put the dagger back. Adela hopped down from the tree and headed back towards Hobbiton, she knew the others would worry if she didn't.

That Night……….

Frodo had returned from his earens he had run that day and was very tired. Adela was lieing down on the cool grass at Bag End gazing at the moon, it was a clear night, and all but one shadow remained just slowly drifting over the moon.

"Adela Its late and I'm gonna lock the door soon so why don't you come inside." Frodo called with a yawn.

Adela broke from her trance turned to her side to se Frodo at the door of Bag End.

"Oh, your back." Adela said as she lifted herself up and walked over to where Frodo stood.

"You look very tired." Adela said "You should go to bed."

"I am, I am." Frodo sighed.

When Frodo walked into his dark house Adela was a few feet ahead of him. Frodo felt a hand grasp his shoulder causing him to spin around quickly.

"Is it secret! Is it safe!?" Gandalf voice sounded very eurgent.

"Gandalf." Adela said, who looked very surprised.

"The ring, Frodo!" Gandalf said a bit calmer.

Frodo dashed over to his chest and flung it open with a bunch of other papers as well.

"here it is." Frodo said handing the envelope containing the ring to Gandalf.

Gandalf took the envelope and threw it into the fire.

"Why…?" Adela cried.

When the envelope was burned and the ring now visable Gandalf pulled it out of the fire,

"Frodo, open your palm." Gandalf said calmly.

Frodo looked afraid. "don't worry its quite cool." Gandalf said as he dropped it into his palm.

"What can you see?" Gandalf asked.

"nothing…theres nothing." Gandalfs face began to fall into worry.

"oh, wait….There are markings, its some form of elfish, I can't read it…"Frodo said,

Adela looked over Frodo's shoulder. Adela muttered in elvish what it said.

"I can't make out what it says…" Adela sighed in defeat.

"It says in modern day tounge: One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them." Gandalf said in a low tone.

Adela was startled,

"m-my dream, my dream said exactly those words."

"yes I remember you telling me…." Gandalf said "It could be a premonition."

Gandalf explained the story behind the ring.

"Frodo my boy, You must take the ring faraway from the Shire."

Gandalf said.

"If Frodo goes so shall I!" Adela said.

"Adela my dear, It could be dangerous." Gandalf sighed.

"I've come all the way from Harondor, I should be just fine." Adela fought.

"If you must…." Adela grabbed her bag and stuffed her clothes in and hooked her large sword to her belt.

Frodo grabbed his things as well. When they got back from packing there was a noise from outside. Gandalf reached outside and pulled Sam through the window.

"eaves dropping are we." Gandalf yelled at Sam,

"I've been dropping no eaves, sir." Sam said obviously scarded.

"You shall accompany Frodo and Adela." Sam nodded. Adela coughed trying to hide a laugh…..To be continued
