comforting.
Pippin was first to wake the next morning,'stider what is the matter with frodo.'he started'.and..and why does he have many a blanket?'
"pippin,don't worry frodo is just not feeling too well today.that's why I'm boiling some athelas to cool him down a bit"aragorn said giving the pot of athelas a stir.
"pippin why don't you wake up sam and merry.the other's allready know including gandalf."questioned strider.
Just then gandalf came over to aragorn"how is the little one?aragorn"gandalf asked.
"I don't know gandalf but we should'nt continue our journey,not for a day or two'.said aragorn.'yes you are right aragorn.we can't."
meanwhile.
"merry,sam wake up!"shouted pippin.
"what is it now pip?if it's something not important then I don't want to hear it now ok"merry said half asleep.
"but this is important it's about frodo!" pippin begged.
As soon as they heard the word frodo,sam and merry shot up from out of bed.
"it's about mr frodo?" Said sam,
"'please tell us pip"merry pleaded.
"no if you don't want to hear it merry then I shall just tell sam instead"pippin said.
"pleeeeeeaaaaasssse old pip ol buddy ol pal"merry begged again.
"fine,I'll tell you.pippin started.listin,frodo's really ill and stider has wrapped him in blankets.i don't know what symtoms he has though."
as soon as he heard this sam broke into many a tear. "I made a promise pippin.don't you lose him samwise gamgee..an I don't mean to" sam said though tears.
"I think we should go see frodo and try to comfort him"suggested merry,biting his lower lip eyes welling up with tears.
"yes merry that is a good idea our cousin could use a good cheering up"agreed pippin.
they all walked over to strider who had place frodo in a small cave and was busy cooking for the fellowship.the three walked over to stider
"'er stider"sam began "would it be ok if we could see mr frodo and try to cheer him up." Sam asked.
"'maybe if you would let us we can try to comfort him as well"asked merry close to tears.
"yes I think that can be arranged do you agree gandalf?"stider confirmed.
"yes you can seeing as gimli,boromir and legolas are hunting for fish."gandalf agreed.
"thank you so much mr gandalf sir" sam said happily.
the three of them went into the cave and they found frodo still asleep merry knelt down beside him and lifted blankets back so he could see his face that was sweaty and pale.merry felt his forehead which was red hot.
"aragorn was right he does have a high temperature."merry said.
"what should we do pippin?"sam asked.
"well there is only one thing we can try.we must try to wake him up so we can talk to him".merry sugessted.
"you're right merry.'I'll wake him up"pippin suggested.
"ok if you're sure"sam said.
"frodo..frodo,can you hear me wake up it's me. merry and sam are here too we wanted to see how you are feeling.'pippin said confortinly.
frodo woke up with his eyes half open 'pippin,I do not feel atall well' frodo managed to say without crying.'I feel cold, everywhere aches and I'm all hot and shivery'.
'this is worse than the effects of the morgul blade'merry said
'pip,get some water from the stream nearby'merry comanded.
whilst pip went to get water for frodo, sam tried to sit frodo up.with the help of merry.
'ok'merry began,'we're gonna try to sit you up ok frodo'
they tried to lift frodo into a sitting position but when sam lifted frodo up by the ribs frodo let out a moan and he cried a few tears at last when they both got him sitting up frodo burst into tears.
'frodo,please tell us were it is that hurts so we can help you'sam asked.
frodo swallowed hard trying to fight back tears
'sam..i..it j.just hurts e..everywhere..even my ribs are hurting' frodo whispered tear streaked it was becoming harder for frodo to breathe.
'y.you can't help me sam,not this time'frodo said shivering.
sam took hold of frodo's hand and rubbed it soothingly 'do not give up mr frodo'sam said almost crying.'
come on frodo don't give in you've got to keep fighting'merry said taking frodos limp hand.
Pippin came back with water and a cloth.'good work pip,now soak the cloth and put it on frodo's head it may help to slow the fever.'merry ordered.
whilst pip was doing that,frodo's grip tightened on sams hand
'mr frodo what is it whats wrong'sam asked. 't..the pain.i..it's growing worse,i.I'm getting hotter and colder every second.i..I can't see you all no more'frodo said tears coming out of his eyes.
'ssshhhhh.mr frodo it's gonna be alright don't give up.'sam said with tears forming in his eyes.
merry had placed the cold cloth onto his head.it helped a little but not enough.meanwhile, pippin was talking to frodo
'think of the happy times frodo,when you spent your childhood pretending to spy on bilbo with us we used to throw apples at bilbo but we missed every time until that faithful day when you hit him on the head with one it was our first ever shot he never found out did he until merry's big mouth had to admit the truth.gosh we got a good spanking off bilbo then did'nt we.and remember the ryme bilbo made up to sing you to sleep on cold winter nighter nights.i'll tell you it if you like.'pippin asked frodo.
'I'd like that if it's anything to do with bilbo than yes.'frodo shivered pippin took a deep breath and started.
Authors notes:hope this is more better than the other chap.the next chapter has a song lyrics from the film spirit stallion of the cimarron called sound the bugle it's made by Bryan Adams but in this fanfici changed it around but I just wanted it to be bilbo's ryme to frodo.enjoy!!
PleaseR/R Thanx.
Chapter 3. Bilbo's ryhme and bitter tastes.
Pippin started the ryhme.
Sound the bugle now-I'll play it just for you
As the seasons change-remember how you used to be Now you can't go on-you can't even start You've got nothing left- just an empty heart
You're a soldier-wounded so you won't give up the fight There's nothing more for you-I'll lead you away. Or I'll leave you lying here
Sound the bugle now-tell them I don't care There's not a road I know-that leads to anywhere Without a light i fear that I will-stumble in the dark Lay right down-decide not to go on
Then from on high-somewhere in the distance There's a voice that call-remember who you are If you lose yourself-your courage soon will follow So be strong tonight-remember who you are Ya you're a soldier now-fighting in a battle To be free once more. Ya that's worth fighting for.
'Did you like that frodo'pippin said.
Just before pippin could get a word out of frodo aragorn came in to look at frodo.
'can you give me any new's on frodo's condition you three?' aragorn asked gently
'well..' merry began 'frodo's hot,cold,shivery,and that his rib's hurt and everywhere else hurt's also he said that he can't see any of us'
'right'stider said.
Stider started unwrapping the blankets off frodo's small,illbody.'ok,frodo,I'm just going to poke your stomach a little so tell me where it hurts ok?'stider asked, lifting frodo's Shirt up to get at his stomach.
Aragorn,started to prod at frodo's stomach with a finger.aragorn touched a part of frodos stomach,which hurt and frodo screamed in agony.
'shhhh mr frodo it's gonna be alright soon'sam assured him stroking his wet curls.
'ok,frodo,now just tell me where it is in your rib that hurts'aragorn said,unbuttoning frodos sweaty top.
again aragorn prodded his ribs frodo let out a moan and a few tears in the places that was sensitive to aragorns touch.
'there now mr frodo it's all over stider will wrap you back up in your blankets ok?' sam said.
'what can we do now strider'? merry asked,looking at his cousins lifeless body in the blankets.
'merry,can you get me the athelas medicine from my pack,and pippin,see if that athelas has boiled'aragorn commanded he gave frodo some medicine that would help his fever.
'here frodo drink this it will help I can promise you it will.'aragorn offered frodo the cup but frodo turned away.
'please drink it frodo,you don't want to get worse do you?'
'ok.aragorn if you say...so.frodo had worked himself into a fit aragorn quickly undone frodo's hirt and placed his hand's onto frodo's heart and spoke word's of elvish.
'frodo.taliin le thie,lasto betna'-frodo hear my voice come back to the light.
Aragorn soon felt frodo's chest rise up and down with a heart beat but breathing soon became difficult for frodo and he made noises(like the breathing sound frodo made when arwen talked to him for the first time)
'stider,we've got every thing you need'merry called.
'has he taken the medicine yet stider?'pippin asked hopefully.
'no not yet master peregrin'aragorn said with dissapointment in his voice.
'let me see If I can get him to take some stider'sam offerered.'please mr frodo take some do it for me'.sam persuareded.'
frodo did what was right the taste of it was horrible-so bitter. Frodo took a sip but put it back down
'no mr frodo you've got to take more'sam told frodo.
frodo did take some more but the medicine had a special plant in it so that it would make frodo fall asleep for a while while the medicine did its thing over frodo.frodo soon became drowsey and was slipping away into a deep sleep.'sam whats happening to me'frodo said drowsilly.
'shhhh'sam said soothinly.then frodo heard and felt no more as he drifted into sleep.

'this my friend is a pint'.'it comes in pints?' 'mmmmm' I'm getting one'- merry and pippin in the prancing pony.the lord of the rings.
