Chapter 3- Torn

(No not that pop song!)

Tiffany stared at Gandalf with big eyes then looked at me. Finally I broke the silence and said, "Sir, we cannot tell you that." Gandalf seemed fairly shocked at my response. "You what?" his jaw dropped as if he had never had someone deny him what he wanted (Hmm. Interesting thought). There was a silent moment then Aragorn's voice broke it. "They do not seem to be a threat Gandalf. Suppose we let them attend council?" Gandalf looked at Aragorn as if Aragorn had just said every cuss word ever. "What? They will not even let us know from where they come! It's an outrage!" As Gandalf continued his hissy fit but Tiffany interrupted trying to calm him, "Mr. Gandalf, Sir, You're highness, The queen." Gandalf looked at her oddly. "Oops sorry, no not queen. You see, we don't have an exact location. We are travelers and we." Aragorn quickly interrupted, "I thought you said you came from a land?" Tiffany stared at him, "Nevermind that," she gave Aragorn a hard look. I stood there watching Gandalf as his face slowly changed, "Fine. We will see what Elrond says. This matter is no longer in my hands." He walked over to the chair where he originally was sitting and began to puff on his weed.

There we went behind Aragorn once more following him down the hallway as we entered a more intricate room. It was the most beautiful room that we believed could have ever been. And there we stood, in front of the great Lord Elrond who stared down upon us with cold eyes. "And who may you be?" he said in a deep shadowy voice. "We are travelers that have heard of the ring." He seemed to be examining our clothes, which were very modern. I was wearing baggy blue jeans and a black shirt with a dragon on the back and front of it that he seemed very interested in. Tiffany wore black jeans and a green shirt with a dragon on it. We always thought dragons were awesome but Elrond did not seem to care for it. "Travelers you say? Where do you travel from." I gave a response that was truly genius on my part, "From afar." See? Isn't that just absolutely brilliant. Well I think so.Moving on. Tiffany stood there fiddling with the side of her jeans as we watched Elrond wondering what he would say next. "So, you have come because of the ring?" We both nodded as he asked, "Why?" Well we hadn't really had a reason why. We just couldn't think of anything better than that we were for the ring (that was the whole point of the movie). "Because we seek your council in which you will be holding," Tiffany said softly. He looked at us amazed then asked, "How do you know of the council?" We both responded at the same time, "We have our ways." He looked suspicious but in the end he agreed.

Like lightning in happened. We were at the council sitting all around talking. Tiffany and I kept quiet because we did not want to draw attention to ourselves. Anything we had to talk about we would have said when they were not around. Elrond began to talk but something happened. I stopped hearing Elrond and started hearing something else. It was whispering going through my head. It made me feel numb and everything in my head was going back until suddenly I snapped out of it when I heard everyone yelling. It was quite different as I remembered. Aragorn had Boromir in a headlock as Legolas had leaped on Gimli and started punching him in the head. Small Frodo stood there saying that he would take the ring. No one heard him so I stood on my chair and yelled so loud that it hurt my own ears, "FRODO SAYS HE WILL TAKE IT!" Everything stopped. The fighting. The yelling. They all looked at me as I said in a small voice, "Well he did say it." Frodo went on to say that he would take the ring. Aragorn offered his assistance as did Legolas and Gimli. Tiffany stood up and said, "Dear Frodo, whom I do not know, I will offer all the help I can on this quest." And I hopped out of my chair and said, "Ditto." They looked at me strangely as I said, "Yeah I want to come too." Sam, Merry, and Pippin ran in to join us. So we become the fellowship of 11 (Doesn't have a very nice ring to it does it? Ring to it.HAHA, sorry I find myself extremely amusing sometimes).

So we would go have to throw the ring into Mount Doom from wince it came. Oh boy, this was going to be tons of fun.
