Chapter 2

No matter how fast Legolas' horse was, the rain began to fall on them furiously. The elven Prince put the hood on his head and covered the little hobbit with his cloak. Though the clothes shielded Frodo from the cold rain, it can't help much. The water started to seep through the silk fabric. Frodo felt a little dizzy and began to shiver a little. The elf noticed the change in the boy in his arms and whispered to his horse to speed up.

"Where is the kid go?" Bilbo grumbled as he walked along the hallway that built above the Bruinen river, linked between two buildings.

Gandalf and he had quit talking with Elrond an hour ago. They went straight to see the little Hobbit for found that He wasn't in his room. At first they thought Frodo would go around with some elves because the kid really loved to listen to Bilbo's story about them. They wandered around Rivendell and asked all elves they had met. Finally, they were told by an elf that the little hobbit asked her how to go to the garden and she assumed he might be there.

Unlucky of them, Frodo wasn't in the garden. So they came back to the house of Elrond and explored about the place again, hoped that the little hobbit had returned. Yet, the Goddess of Hope didn't on their side. Hours passed and they still couldn't find Frodo yet.

"I'm very right to not marry and form a family. Children may sweet and cheerful but they always make problems too," Bilbo said.

Meanwhile, Gandalf watched the dark sky above them.

"Bilbo, I'm afraid the storm is coming. Get some cloaks for us and meet me at the doorway. I will seek Elrond's help. We must find Frodo before the rain begins."

Didn't waste any minutes, Bilbo run back to his room. He pulled his cloak from a drawer and went to Gandalf's room to get his. He cursed under his breath on the way to do not watch Frodo closely. He didn't think the boy would make any problem because his nature was gentle and sweet but he did it now. The rain began to pour down, made the lump in Bilbo's heart bigger. The Baggins promised to himself that if he caught the kid, Frodo would get a long lecture from him to make sure that he would not act this again.

He found Gandalf and Elrond at a corner. Elrond put his hand on the Hobbit's shoulder briefly to comfort him and they hurriedly went to the gateway together.

At the door, they saw a man who wore wet cloak walked inside. They couldn't see who the man was because the hood fell to cover half of his face. A mould under his clocked informed that the stranger was carrying something under it.

"Greeting, Lord Elrond, Mithrandir and Bilbo. I didn't think that I'm important for you all to come to greet me together at the doorway," The man said and pulled his hood out. It was Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood.

"Welcome, Legolas. I didn't expect you to come here in the rainy day like this. Make yourself like it is your home. I'm sorry that I'm not be good hospitality. But I have an urgent errand to do. Walk ahead and you will find some elves that could bring you to your chamber," The Lord of Rivendell said.

"I think I can help you, Elrond. If the business you said is this," Legolas smiled and pulled his damp cloak out, reveal a small wet hobbit in his arms.

"Frodo!" Bilbo cried out and ran towards them as Legolas bent down. So the little hobbit can stand.

"Hi," Frodo greeted and grinned at them apologizingly for the mess he surely caused.

"Thank you so much, Legolas. I was worried to death about him," Bilbo said to Legolas and then turned to Frodo with sharp eyes.

"Tell me what you were doing this afternoon, Frodo Baggins," Bilbo demanded on his nephew.

"Okay, dearest Uncle Bilbo," Frodo said sweetly in case it may lessen his trouble. As if Elrond knew his thought, for he said,

"That can wait, Bilbo. We should get him some dry clothes before he catch a cold," Elrond suggested and they walked to Frodo's room.

The Hobbit began to tell his story on the way. Gandalf noticed Frodo walked slower then usual or he can say that the boy was dragging his feet instead of walking. *Poor boy, I don't think he could take much more steps since he had a long walked today.* thought Gandalf. Therefore he bent down and picked the little hobbit in his arms.

No one doubted his action for they noticed the tiredness in Frodo too.

Soon Frodo's story was finished at the meeting of Legolas, passed the position of storyteller to the Prince of Mirkwood. He listened to the elf's voice drowsily. He slid his tiny arms around the wizard's neck and used Gandalf's shoulder as a pillow. Legolas' story ended at the same time they reached Frodo's room.

Frodo felt some itched at his nose. A hand rose up quickly to clamp on his mouth and he sneezed.

Some minutes passed and the adults watched the boy worriedly. His face appeared to red all after the marathon of sneezing stopped. Little poor Frodo sniffed his nose pitifully.

"Are you alright, little one?" Legolas asked as he pulled out his handkerchief and gave it to Frodo who received it thankfully.

"I'm fine, Si." His words cut off as the sneeze came out again.

The wizard put his hand on Frodo's forehead. He frowned slightly at the unusual warmth from the ivory skin he touched. "No fever though you are warm." He noted as a growl emitted out loud from the hobbit's stomach.

Frodo's face turned to red more and didn't thinking, he hid his face in the crook of Gandalf's neck as if it could help him uncomfortable.

Elrond ruffled his curly black hair fondly. The boy reminded him the time when Aragorn was young, though the Dunedain was a kind of serious boy and didn't sweet like Frodo was.

"The faster you clean yourself, the faster you will have dinner and rest." He said.

Frodo looked up at the Lord of Rivendell by the mention of food.

"Okay," He nodded eagerly.

"See you at the dining room." Elrond walked away with Legolas.

Okay, I know, it's short and fluff. But hey, I want it. Little Frodo seems to want to be HUG (and no one can resist him, of course.) Next chapter will come soon.

And Thanks Kyotora, arabella thorne, and Robin Gurl's INSANE for reviewing me.
