Chapter 2. Whispers and confusion
I reached the attic door grabbed the pull string and gave it a good yank. I waited for a moment for the ladder to come tumbling down. After it landed with a thud I climbed right up.
The attic was nothing big at all; one side had all my dad's guns and things on one side, and a furnished setting on the other. I walk over and slump into my sofa, open my backpack pull out the bag of tootsie rolls, my portable CD player and LOTR book.
I propped the book on my lap while listening to Enya and munching on a tootsie roll and turned to the page with the prophecy on it.
Three ring for the Elven kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his Dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them.
One ring bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
I looked up startled, turned off my CD player, and looked around. I could have sworn I heard some say the prophecy with me, though I didn't notice it until I came to the word "bind". It seemed to be a woman's voice, but who's I don't know. " I must be hearing things" I thought, "Yeah I'm just hearing things." I then continued to read the book.
I heard no more voices until I came to the part where Gandalf pulled Sam into Frodo's home. This time it seemed to be Gandalf's voice cause it was saying his lines. This time I knew that I wasn't hearing things, now that the voice continued and switched to what had to be Sam's voice.
My heart began to race and adrenaline flowed through my veins, I didn't dare to move. I stopped reading the book, as I did the voices stopped. I continued to read and the voices started up once again. I stood and said "Hello? Is anybody there?"
Now those voices went from whispers to a regular volume, like they were right next to me. "FRODO!" I jumped back in surprise, landed in my sofa, which went slamming, to the floor.
I got slowly wincing, and I took a quick look around, but everything was a bit hazy. I blinked and rubbed my eyes but still everything was hazy, and it was getting worse. I looked myself, none of me was hazy at all, and so what was happening?
I stood in terror, as the rooms seem to be melting into blackness. It was as though a crazy painter just took several can of paints and threw on a canvas. Then, all of a sudden my vision dimmed and darkened, my knees hit the ground with a dull thud, my head was swarmed with confusion and dizziness as sank to the ground, I remembered nothing more.
