bTo all the Reveiwers: THANK YOU!/b
All though not many people review I know people are interested in this story. I think you'll be happy with this chapter. Frodo dosen't get hurt hardly at all. (Only very minorly and it dosen't break or bruise anything)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
One of the Oliphaunts soon broke free from control and it came rampaging toward us. I ran and grabbed Sam on the way. We didn't get very far because we soon ran into more men. But these men were different. They were regal, almost like Aragorn or Boromir, except they weren't nearly as friendly. One of them grabbed me, rather roughly, by the shoulders, I cried out from the pain. Then I dropped to the forest floor to escaped his grip. He released me as soon as I dropped to the ground. Then one of them came up to me and held out his hand to help me up. I cautiously took his hand with my good arm. Once I was up on my feet again he spoke to me. " Please. Forgive my men, they did not realize that you were injured." At my first sight of him, he looked a lot like Boromir. It didn't comfort me much, but he was being kind. "I am Faramir of Gondor, and I will take you in with me now because you are injured. You shouldn't travel until your well," he said to me. "But why be so kind to me now, when your men almost broke my shoulder even more than it already is?," I snapped at him.
"You have good reason to doubt my kindness little halfling, but I received word from Gandalf a very long time ago that two halflings may come this way. And that if they should come, that I should take them in and care for them for a short time," Faramir said to me. If what he told me is true, than I should have no reason to fear him or his men, but a shadow a doubt is growing in my heart. "Please don't hurt Mr. Frodo any more than he already is," Sam pleaded with Faramir. "I am not going to harm you. I wish to assist you. Your friend is injured and we may be able to help him some," Faramir told Sam. "We will go with you but we will leave when we choose fit," I told Faramir. "You may leave when you wish, but where is your other companion? That gangle looking creature?," Faramir asked us.
"There was no other, just Sam and I,' I told him and Sam looked at me like I had three heads. "But what of the other company that Gandalf said you might be traveling with?," he asked me. "We separated from them, we lost one of our company in Moria. Gandalf fell into shadow," I told him. "That is sad news indeed. But come now and rest. For I can see that you are weary," Faramir said to us. We followed him until he stopped and turned around to us. "From this point on you must go blind folded. For where I am taking you is the only place that our people have that the enemy has not yet discovered," he said to us. Sam and I allowed them to blind fold us and they agreed to lead us safely.
We walked on for a while and I found a strange comfort in being blindfolded. Being secluded from the outside world where I only found pain. It was relaxing in an odd way. After we had walked on for a little longer they took our blind folds off. We were standing in the middle of a rocky cavern, with an opening on one side that had a waterfall pouring over it, and there was another path that led out of the cavern. Faramir brought us over and showed us two small mattresses. "These are for you, and you are welcome to stay for as long as you like. Dinner will be served soon, and if you have any more pain Frodo, just tell any of my men," Faramir said to me and Sam. "Thank you, Faramir," I said to him just before he left the room. "Your welcome Frodo," he said to me. I sat on my mattress for a short time and I soon fell asleep. I was no sooner roused by Sam gently tapping me. "It's time to eat Mr. Frodo. I know your weary and I hate to wake you but its time for dinner," Sam said to me as I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes with my right arm. Dinner was wonderful, though I didn't eat much. My stomach just wasn't up to it. "Mr. Frodo, you really should have eaten a lot more. Your worrying me Frodo," Sam said to me as he gave a concerned look. "I'm fine Sam," I told him. "Well I just don't like the fact the your not eatin' much and you haven't gotten much sleep neither," Sam said to me. "I'm fine Sam!," Said to him as I laid down on my mattress and tried to go to sleep.
