"So you guys are. Hobbits?" I asked after being introduced to all of them.
"Yep." Pippin said, still surprised that I didn't know what they were.
"Wow," I said. "I learned about you guys but I thought you were already
extinct!" I smiled, but the hobbits looked a little offended. "So, why are
we here?" I noticed that I was being nosy, but I didn't really care.
Besides, I wanted to find out if they were holding any valuable items that
could set me back on track to my own quest. I didn't think they could help
me anyway. They looked innocent enough. "Well," Sam replied, but couldn't
finish his sentence. "Let us sit and rest and have something to eat here on
the landing, since we can't find a dining-room!" Frodo interrupted almost
deliberately. But it seemed he had begun to shake off the terror of the
giant beast in the water, and felt extremely hungry as well. I guess I was
happy that he did make that comment, but my mind still pondered as to why
they were here in this, Mines of Moria, or whatever they called it.
They didn't offer much food, or didn't have much to be exact, but it was enough to fill my stomach. To surprise, Gandalf offered me miruvor from Rivendell. I didn't take it however. I really didn't need elfish poison in my veins. I did take some of my own potions to help the bruises and cuts. I healed fast anyway, so the healing wouldn't be a problem. I looked over to the elf they called Legolas, he hadn't spoken all this time. It didn't surprise me, coming from an elf. Yet I felt drawn to him in a strange way.
"So where are we going?" I managed to ask again. "Well to the other side of the mountain of course." Boromir told me with a sly smile on his face. I didn't feel too comfortable with him, because every time he looked at me, he made it seem he was so hungry he wanted to eat my face. So I just shut up and didn't ask anymore questions for the night.
First we moved up into the mountain, then down again. I didn't see any sense in it, but the wizard made it seem like he knew where he was going. Until we came to 3 huge passages that is. We all sat down for a rest as he tried to remember which "tunnel" to go into. I couldn't resist to look over to the elf again, who looked like he was troubled with something. *I don't care that he looks troubled! Why should I care about an elf!* Yet, that elf had something. decent.
I felt a hand going down my back onto my butt. I threw back my elbow screaming: "HEY!". I thought heard something fall, it sounded like a clash of brick and metal. When I turned around to see what I had knocked over, I saw Boromir on the floor rubbing his head, aching. I wasn't really sorry for what I did, but I decided to help him up anyway. I should show some kindness, these people are allowing me to t ravel with them afterall. Then there was something that took all my attention. I heard the wizard and one of the Hobbits talking about something lurking in the dark, going after the power. "He's after the ring Frodo." I was shocked! *What?! The One Ring was here all this time?! And I didn't even notice it was right under my nose!* Wow this must have been fate. I was led right into the pack of travelers that carried what I had been searching for! It was time for a new plan. I had to think of something to get the ring into my possession. *I would pretend to want to help protect the ring. Because. My mother was killed by it's great power, and I don't want something like that to happen again.* Perfect. It was the perfect plan.
