The Beginning of the adventure- Chapter 5
Gandalf had heard of what happened to Evelyn, and went to the spot where she lay. "Poor dear, she was so young." He said, looking at her pale and lifeless body. "If only I had known, you could've been saved." He sighed and picked her up. He brought her to Rivendell, and from there she was brought to Galadriel, the lady of the wood.
"We knew this would happen, yet, it did not." Galadriel said.
"What do you mean?" asked Gandalf
"She is not yet dead, and the ring is still with her."
"But I checked for the ring, and it's gone."
"It is within her. The ring itself, yes, it is gone. But the power was transferred to her during the burst of flames. This is why there is a circular gash on her left shoulder, and why she is still alive. She holds the power of the ring. And she is in another realm." Explained Galadriel. Gandalf was speechless.
"We have to bring her back here, if we don't, she will die."
"But how? Which realm is she in? I fear I do not have the power to release her." Gandalf asked.
"Come with me, I will show you to it." Galadriel led Gandalf to a small pond with little pink spheres floating around in it. "This is the entrance to the realm of the all powerful, also known as 'The Realm of Cëlebrë' You must be careful, the power within is enough to destroy all life on middle earth, and all life in the universe." She warned, and Gandalf stepped into the water. But it did not feel like water. He felt as if he had just stepped onto a bed of feathers. He continued to walk into the pond and when the water was about knee deep, he was sucked under water. Everything was twisting around and he felt as if he'd been flipped. Just as soon as it began, it ended. When he opened his eyes, he gasped. "This is the strangest place I've ever seen." All around him were huge clouds with baby elves and children floating around. There was a waterfall of golden objects and a sky with pink and blue swirls. The ground was carpeted with flowers of all kinds, but when you stepped onto the ground, they moved out of the way. His age diminished and he became a young man once again. He had completely forgotten why he was there. "Why didn't I come here long ago?" he asked himself.
And someone answered him, "Because you do not belong here. Why are you here, Gandalf the Grey."
"How did you know my name?"
"I was born with the gift of reading minds. Why are you bringing her back to danger?"
"Bringing who?" he asked, unaware of who the other person was talking about.
"Bringing Evelyn back! She belongs here!"
"Ah, yes, Evelyn. Where is she?"
"She is somewhere safe."
"We need her back, or she'll die." He pleaded
"That is not for you to decide. She will remain with us, where she is safe."
"Who are you?" Gandalf asked suspiciously.
"I am Cëlebrë. This is my realm. 'Tis why it is called the realm of Cëlebrë. And I take all the powerful creatures from the middle earth, and bring them here, where they are safe from harm."
"But Evelyn is not safe! There is no safe place for a young hobbit with her power! Show her to me, or you'll suffer the consequences!" He yelled impatiently, pointing his staff in her direction.
"As you wish." She said and disappeared.
"I said show me where she is!" he screamed, as a cloud took him off his feet. He lie down onto the cloud and at once fell asleep.
"Gandalf? It is you! How are you?!" Evelyn asked him as he sat up.
"This is a dream, isn't it." He asked her.
"Yes, it is a dream, but it is the only way we are allowed to communicate with others." Evelyn answered.
"You must come back with me, you are not safe here."
"I know I am not safe, I feel Sauron's presence. He is after me now."
"Evelyn, take my hand, and we will leave." She grabbed his hand and Gandalf woke up. Evelyn was on the cloud next to him.
"Let's go!" he told her and they ran to a pond that looked identical to the one he entered in, except, this one seemed to be upside down. They stepped into it but it did not feel like walking on feathers as the other one did, it felt like they were walking on nails.
"Ouch! They must've made this hurt so they could try and stop us from returning. But we have to go back." Said Gandalf
"Yes, OUCH, I know, ok, we should be sucked down any." Before she could finish they were sucked under water again and flipped around until at last they were back in the realm of the lady of the wood.
"Welcome back, Evelyn," Galadriel said, "you should leave now, time is running out."
"Yes, we are. Thank you Galadriel, I don't know what I'd do without you." Said Gandalf, hugging her. Gandalf and Evelyn turned and walked out of sight.
Under a spell?- Chapter 6
Now that Evelyn was returned to the middle earth, she was much more careful, or should I say, jumpy. If she so much as heard a twig snap, she would pull out her sword and run to where she heard it. Gandalf was beginning to get annoyed by this behavior.
"Evelyn, there is no one out there! Just relax, as long as I'm with you, you will not be harmed!" he screamed, very annoyed. She looked at him, put her sword away and walked up to him.
"Is it so wrong to want to be alert? Why is there a problem? Would you rather me just allow the freakin' wraiths o-or the uruk hai, or the gosh darn orcs and goblins to capture me and kill me? Hmm? Gandalf, pa-lease don't treat me like an annoying five year old. I am not a child, and I have a right to fight for my life!" she snapped back at him and stomped away. Just then Gandalf lost his temper.
"EVELYN BAGGINS! DO NOT TAKE ME AS A FOOL! I SAID THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO JUMPY! NOT TO JUST, GIVE UP! AS LONG AS I'M HERE, I WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO HARM YOU!" He yelled out to Evelyn, making her stop in her tracks. This scared Evelyn, he could tell, because she jumped when he yelled.
"Oh Gandalf," she said, running to him and hugging him, "please forgive me? I did not mean what I said, I'm just so scared." Gandalf sighed and said,
"It's alright my young hobbit. I am sorry I lost my temper, but you were getting on my nerves. Come on, we should get going."
"Hey, wait, where are we going?" she asked him, trying to catch up.
"We are on our way to Rivendell my dear, and there we will meet up with Esmerelda and Legolas."
"Esmerelda and.Legolas? Why would they be there? Where were they? They left me! How could they! I almost died. And now they will just meet us in Rivendell like nothing happened? I thought Esmerelda was my best friend, kuh, thought." She babbled on and on, accusing them of being cowards and leaving her on purpose. She babbled all the way to Rivendell and wouldn't stop until.
"Evelyn? You're ok! Oh my gosh! You're alive! We were so-" Esmerelda's voice was cut off by Evelyn.
"Worried? Yeah.right. I know you left me, you cowards." She snapped at her. When Esmerelda tried to hug her, she shoved her away. "Don't touch me, you are no longer my friend."
"Evelyn.what is wrong with you? How could you.I can't believe you'd actually think.UGH!" she said, but Evelyn ignored her and walked away, "EVELYN BAGGINS! COME BACK HERE! WE NEED TO TALK!"
"What is her problem?" Esmerelda asked Gandalf.
" I do not know. She's been acting strange since we left Cëlebrë. I'll go check on her, you two stay here, I don't know if you'll be safe around her right now." He walked towards Evelyn.
"Evelyn Baggins, get over here this instant!" Gandalf called out. "If your Uncle Bilbo found out about what you did to poor Esmerelda, he'd be ashamed!"
"WHAT do you want? I am trying to rest." She once again snapped at him.
Sighing, he said, "Evelyn, do you realize what you did to Esmerelda? She's a wreck. All she wanted was to have you safe, and when you are, you treat her like the dirt on your shoes, er, feet."
"Well, she should not have left me. That little coward, afraid of those dumb, what-cha-ma-callems, too self-centered to even care if her best friend died." She growled
"Oh dear, Evelyn. I suggest you talk to Esmerelda, give her a chance to explain herself. You will realize how absurd you sound right now. I'm going to rest. By the time I come back, I want this sorted out." He said and walked away. Evelyn got up and went looking for Esmerelda, probably to snap at her "cowardliness".
"Hey Esmerelda. I want a little word with you!" "Evelyn? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you thought I did that!" she said hugging her.
"Ok, first of all, I didn't think you did that, I know you did that. And second of all, as I said before, don't touch me."
"Evelyn Baggins! I am your best friend! I would give my life to save yours! Legolas and I were kidnapped by Sarumon's uruk hai, and brought to his tower. We tried to save you, but you were under his.Oh my gosh! I have to go!" Esmerelda said running away.
"Of course, she runs away because she knows I know the truth. Whatever. I'm going to eat something."
Esmerelda ran up to where Gandalf was staying and called out his name. "Gandalf! I know what is wrong with Evelyn!!! She's still under Sarumon's spell!"
Just then, Sarumon walked out of Gandalf's room. "Clever little hobbit. I'm afraid you know too much, as did Gandalf." He said to Esmerelda, staff pointed at her. Gandalf was nowhere to be seen.
"LEGOLAS! HELP!" she screamed and was thrown onto the floor after a blow to her back. Sarumon hit her with his staff when she yelled. Sarumon turned around and was face to face with Legolas, arrow aimed at his head.
"One wrong move Sarumon, and you'll get a taste of Elven weaponry, first hand." He said, threatening him, "Now, I want you to tell me where Gandalf is, and to take Evelyn off your spell. Unless, of course, you'd like an arrow to go through your head. It's your decision." He said, ready to shoot him.
"All right, if you take that away from my head, Gandalf will be brought back. But, you will not know unless you put that away."
"How dumb would I be to be off guard with an evil wizard?" behind Sarumon Esmerelda was crawling towards his staff, which had fallen out of his hand when Legolas startled him. She grasped it weakly, in pain, and pointed it at Sarumon. Concentrating, she managed to get the staff under control.
"You are perhaps the dumbest wizard I've ever seen! You come to Rivendell, where there are hundreds of elves, and all you have is your staff, which you drop, and now, look here, the "clever hobbit" has turned the tables on you." Esmerelda said to him, now grinning.
"You do not have the power to control my staff, you're just a little stupid half-ling." Sarumon remarked, making a hand motion, calling his staff back to him. But it didn't go to him, but stayed with Esmerelda.
"I told you he was dumb." She said to Legolas and pointed the staff at Sarumon. "Your days of destruction are over." She said and a bright blue flash blew out of the end of the staff.
Gandalf had heard of what happened to Evelyn, and went to the spot where she lay. "Poor dear, she was so young." He said, looking at her pale and lifeless body. "If only I had known, you could've been saved." He sighed and picked her up. He brought her to Rivendell, and from there she was brought to Galadriel, the lady of the wood.
