With that Legolas lifted Frodo off the horse and rode off. Frodo
walked slowly up to the door and knocked. The man let him in and he walked
around searching for the Prancing Pony. He found the sign and walked in.
When the innkeeper told Frodo that Gandalf wasn't there he didn't know
what to do. So he figured that he was early because of the elves and that
Gandalf had not really sent Legolas there to look after him. He sat around
for a while. Half an hour perhaps. All of a sudden someone pulled him out
of his chair into a room in the inn.
"Why are you alone?" Asked the man.
"Because no one came with me," said Frodo not giving
away anything.
"It's not wise to travel alone. It will make you
much easier to get at."
"Who are you?"
"I am Strider. Gandalf sent me here to find you.
He said he would not be able to make it."
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Nothing if you wish, but I can take you out in
the wild to get away from the riders and to meet Gandalf."
"I would like that. But how do I know I can trust
you?"
"That is up to you. If you trust me then come. If
you don't then stay. But you will sleep here tonight the riders will come.
They will always hunt you."
"That's what the elf said."
"Elf? You have met elves on your travels?"
"Yes. His name was Legolas Greenleaf. He said that
Gandalf had told him to watch over the forests. The elves brought me here."
"Ahh. So that is why you are here so early. Yes,
Legolas was told to watch over the forests of the Shire. You are lucky
he found you. Gandalf had sent him to look for Gollum. I assume that he
did not. Where was he headed?"
"To Rivendell. He seamed in a rush."
"I don't lure into his buisness. If he has orders
from Elrond let them be.
