Ok, sorry if I had been real lazy last week, but then again who wasn't? Well, with very little homework today and banana nut bread in my tummy, I am ready to write the next chapter of Deep, the story that 1 out of 2 people like (TIM!!!!!).

*************************************************************

Deep looked at Gandalf curiously as Gandalf sat in a near by chair.

"Now, Deep…why don't you tell me who you really are?" Gandalf asked frankly. Deep began to frown and bit her lower lip.

"Don't be frighten, I am not going to hurt you," said the old wizard.

'He must have read my mind!" Deep thought. She took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Well Master Gandalf, I come from another world," Deep said bluntly.

"Another world?" Gandalf looked at her incredulously.

"See, I knew you won't believe me!" Deep exclaimed and flopped back on the bed.

'So childish she is, but there is more to her. I can sense it, " thought Gandalf.

"No, you are mistaken. I believe you, but I am curious as to how you got here," he stated.

Deep popped back up and faced Gandalf. She began to bit her lower lips again and signed. Deep relieved that she would mess up a lot of things if she told Gandalf about the betrayal of Saruman. She knew it was Gandalf who was really supposed to find that out. "Master Gandalf," she began slowly, using hand gestures to help her speak. "If I tell you how I got here, I am afraid that I will change to course of Middle Earth's history."

Gandalf narrowed his eyes as if he was getting a better look at Deep. He looked into her eyes and saw that she spoke the truth.

"Do you know the future, little one?" Gandalf asked.

"Yes," she answered and was going to explain how but Gandalf interpreted.

"My dear Deep, I don't know how you know the future and I don't what to know how. Even the wise were not meant to know what has yet to happen. Let time run its course and never tell anyone about the future or even that you know the future," Gandalf warned her with a stern look. Deep nodded her head and he began to smile.

"Come, I think you are fit enough to leave your bed and join me with the hobbits," he said warmly.

"Thank you, I would love to," she jumped out of bed and followed Gandalf to the living room.

Sorry if this chapter was short and boring, but it had to be done. Will Gandalf ever find out Deep's origin? Will the hobbits like Deep? Will Deep like the hobbits? Find out in the next chapter of Deep!!
