*Big thanks to the *drum roll please* 3 reviewers. I don't know what happened. People who were reading the first part either didn't realize this was the sequel or they just don't review *pout* Well, enough babbling, on with the story....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I didn't sleep at all, and I know Sam will be pestering me about it again. But I haven't been able to get solid sleep since I left Rivendell. The horror of the day that Boromir punched me and the day the I was stabbed by the Nazgul still haunt my memory.
"Mr. Frodo, you didn't sleep at all did you?," Sam asked me.
I know that Sam could see that I was tired. "No, Sam," I told him with a weary smile.
"Now you best be gettin' back to sleep Mr. Frodo. I think it would be best if we stayed a little longer so that you can recover your strength," Sam told me.
"Ok," I told Sam as I turned over on my mattress and drifted off to sleep. I was actually glad that Sam made me go back to sleep. I feel great , except for my shoulder is bothering me again. I told one a Faramir's men, as he had told me to and he brought Faramir to me. "Frodo, how bad is the pain in your shoulder?," Faramir asked me.
"It's quite bothersome," I told him.
"There isn't anything that I can do for you Frodo. But do you need anything else?," Faramir asked us.
"Yes, there is something we need. Can you get me some hot water?," Sam asked.
"Yes, and I will get it to you as soon as I can," Faramir said to Sam as he gave him a curious look.
And he held to his word. Shortly after he left one of his men came over wit ha small dish of steaming water. I already knew why Sam had asked and he was busy getting the Athelas from his pack. Then he bathed my shoulder with the Athelas water and all of the men in the cavern were enthralled by what Sam was doing and the pleasing aroma.
"That should help some Mr. Frodo," Sam said to me as he finished bathing and binding my shoulder back to my side.
"Thanks Sam, I feel a lot better now," I said to him before a fell asleep again.
I don't know how long Sam let me sleep but by the time I woke up it was lighter in the cavern and I am guessing that it is daytime outside.
"It's nice to see you finally got some solid sleep Mr. Frodo," Sam said to me as he came over to me and handed me a plate of food.
"You slept so long, you missed first and second breakfast Mr. Frodo," Sam said with a chuckle.
"Thanks Sam," I told him be fore I started eating.
"Your welcome Mr. Frodo, Sam said with a smile. After I finished eating, Sam and I decided that we should set off for Mordor in the morning.
Faramir came up to where I was sitting and told me," I am needed in Osgiliath, we will be departing in the morning. Do, tomorrow we will see you off and then head for Osgiliath."
"That is fine, we were planning on departing in the morning anyway," I told him.
"Then all is good," Faramir said before he walked away with a weary smile.
"You should rest up Mr. Frodo, you need to regain as much strength as you can for the journey ahead of us," Sam told me.
"I know Sam," told him with a smile.
I slept well through the night and woke up early. Sam was lying on his mattress softly snoring so I decided not to bother him. I quietly packed all of our stuff, being careful not to use my arm. I finished packing our stuff and then I woke Sam up.
"Well, hullo Mr. Frodo! Surprised to see you up before me," Sam said to me as he sat up and stretched.
"Well I slept good last night and got up early," I explained to him.
Faramir came over to see if we were ready to depart.
"Yes, we are ready, but I am afraid we are in desperate need of food and water for our journey," I told him.
"You've no need to worry about that, I packed some extra food and a few extra water bottles, along with your own, into your packs," Faramir told us.
Then he handed us each a beautifully carved walking stick. We had to leave the cavern blind folded again. But even though I couldn't see I did hear something stealthily following behind us.
"It was nice to have you as company Frodo Baggins. But I am afraid that we now must go our separate ways," Faramir said to me as he looked down upon me.
"May we meet again Frodo Baggins!," he said to me before he walked away with his men in the other direction. If I only I knew at that time how close I would come to not making it.

REALLY REALLY sorry for the delay, nut not many people are reading . I've been so busy with State testing and vacation that I haven't had the time. Another reason this is late is there haven't been many reviews (but I thank those of you who have).
Remember: the more you review, the faster I update :)
