A/n. ARGH! I HATE MY COMPUTER! Had this chapter AND chapter 3, written and saved on disk and then I couldn't freaking open the darn things, so I was forced to delete them! Which means I'm FURIOUS, especially as I spent AGES on the first and third (say like four hours for pages!) And, also, if fanfiction.net had let me upload these chapters, I WOULD HAVE THEM ON MY ACCOUNT, not deleted forever! Anyway.

~Kalina's parents would kill her if they knew where she was. And the reason she

had come here. But she had to know.

He didn't have any idea how she felt for him. Nor did she have any intention of

telling him that, and it seemed now she wouldn't have the chance. She knew all

along, but she had never wanted to admit it. Frodo was leaving to the Gray Havens,

leaving the Shire.

She'd been following Frodo and Sam. She had no clear intention why, except she

must know if he had truly left and maybe she wanted to see him go. She wanted to

see him for the last time.Seemingly no one ever returned from leaving destined to

the Havens.

She had guessed he'd be leaving. She had an intelligent mind that was quick to

jump the correct conclusions. She'd listened to the tale of the Quest, the unmaking

of the One Ring so often she felt like she'd been there. She'd listened to it from,

Merry, Pippin, Sam but most of all Frodo's point of view. She'd often looked at his

face fair to see what emotions he was showing and the way he spoke when he was

recalling it. And very often, when he'd been speaking of darker parts of it, she'd

noticed him fingering this chain he had round his neck with a small, shining star



attached. She'd listened to Legolas and Gimli, when they had once come to the

Shire, as they'd been through the Paths of the Dead, and not one other on the

Quest, except Aragorn had.

She rounded a corner, and suddenly backed her pony behind a glade of trees, as

she had seen a large group ahead of her. Loosely tying Shadow-the pony to a tree,

she crept nearer and saw the group was mainly of Elves. She could pick out

Galadriel, Celeborn and Elrond instantly, and yet her breath was caught. She'd

never seen Elves before, except Legolas, and they were beautiful! The lilt and

sweetness of their language, the way they moved lightly around and then she

realised that they were leaving. Not many of these would remain on Middle Earth.

She caught sight of Gandalf, and Kalina's spirit saddened. No more fireworks.she

sighed sadly.

And then she caught sight of Frodo. He was talking to Sam, who looked deeply

upset, and then she knew, she'd known all along he'd leave -she just hadn't

wanted to believe it. When Merry and Pippin suddenly appeared, she was still

finding it hard to accept.

And then she saw the ship.and in a daze she watched the group board the ship,

including Frodo. She saw him wave at Sam, Pippin and Merry.

She watched as the ship left, until it was nothing but a black shape on the horizon.

And as the three Hobbits mounted their ponies and set back to the Shire, she

dashed out to where the group had been standing before, a few tears spilling from

her eyes. ~

Yawning, Kalina opened her eyes and sat up in her bed and remembered she'd

been dreaming of when she'd seen Frodo leave Middle Earth. And then her heart

quickened. He'd waved at Sam, Merry and Pippin. and he'd, Frodo -he'd

smiled.at the bushes she'd been hiding behind.he'd seen her? You couldn't smile

at bushes.it was insane.

But he wasn't coming back. He wasn't.

A/n. It'll get better I promise! I mean, bloody hell, this chapter was boring but REVIEW please! (
