Chapter 3 The Strange Girl
The girl was unconscious; she just appeared out of nowhere lying on my floor. Sam had jumped back in surprise and Gandalf at first seemed suspicious of the girl. She was human of maybe sixteen summers with light brown hair, soft slightly pale skin, a thin but strong body, and the her clothes were of a strange sort. Normally a woman would be wearing a dress, but not this one, she was wearing blue clothe around her legs that was fastened with a gold colored button and a thing that looked like teeth. The other piece of her clothing had what appeared to be a flag on it. This "flag" had thirteen stripes that were red and white, and one section on the top left of this flag was blue with fair amount of white stars in this section of blue.
"Well" said Sam, " I believe we should put her to rest in a bed rather than let her stay there on the floor, should we Mister Frodo?"
"Your right Sam" I replied, " Lets take her to the guest room."
Gandalf quickly stepped forward, bent and easily lifted the girl and then headed for the guest room. Sam and I anxiously followed behind him.
" Frodo" whispered Sam " Who is that girl?"
"I'm not sure," I said, " maybe Gandalf might know" Gandalf remained quiet; he seemed not to even acknowledge what we were saying. He suddenly stopped, adjusted his hold on the girl and he then reached out and opened the door to the left of him, the door swung open and Gandalf went inside. When I poked my head into the doorway, he had already put the girl into the bed, tucked into the cream white sheets.
"Samwise," he said, " I do not know this girl, nor have I ever seen her before." Gandalf stood over her, watching her, and studying her. He then took a seat by the bedside and motioned for us to leave the room.
"I will you the moment she wakes," he said.
Sam and me left the room and headed down the wooden hallway back to my living room. I walked over to the fireplace; which had a fire going. A soft thump was heard, I turned to Sam on the floor with head in his hands. I too slumped to the floor and started the same notion that Sam was doing. We were in for a long wait I just knew it.
It was half pas midnight when Gandalf finally called for us from the guest room. Sam and I went running down the hall and into the room. The girl was tossing and turning and muttering, " What's happening?" I opened my mouth to say something but Gandalf held his hand up and said, "She is waking up."
"Maybe now, we will get some answers," said Sam.
"Hush Samwise, " said Gandalf, " I will not question her just yet, I will allow her to rest before I question her." The girl moans, and tossed and turned some more, then she opened her eyes. She took one quick look around, terror swelled up in her face, and she let out a shriek and stood straight up.
