Chapter 9

Next morning, the council of Elrond began. I don't know the exact time, but it did. It was full of stories about how the ring was found, etc, etc, so after a while, I fell asleep.

A while later, I was woken up by Elrond saying ".and now, the most interesting tale yet. Matt, would you please tell us your intriguing story?"

"Ok!" I said and began.

"It all started when I decided to write a story about Lord of the Rings."

***

".. and so, that's how I came to be here!" I finished, looking around the council, most of whom were asleep.

"Thank you for that, erm, interesting account, young one." Elrond said, with a yawn.

"My pleasure." I said, sitting down.

"Now." Elrond continued "We have to decide what we should do with the ring."

And so eventually they decided. The Fellowship was formed and. then I realised something.

"Hang on, hang on, hang on!" I said, interrupting Elrond who was saying, "You shall be the Fellowship of the R."

"What?" Asked Elrond.

"I've got to go too!" I snapped, marching over to the group.

"What?" Elrond looked confused. "Exactly why must you go?"

"Have you not been listening? I'm the AUTHOR of this story! You can't just expect me to end it here! Either I go, or no one goes."

"And how will you stop us exactly?" Snapped Boromir.

"Like this!" I replied, typing something into my laptop.

The entire fellowship suddenly seemed to change.

"I. I don't think I'll go after all." Frodo said.

"Well if Mr Frodo stays, I'm not going!" Sam snapped.

"And I don't have any interest in going either!" Gimli growled. "I'm going to go home!"

"As am I!" Boromir snapped. "I don't know what I was thinking!"

Legolas blinked. "Well, if no one else seems to want to go, then, with the greatest of respect, I'm not going either, Lord Elrond."

One by one, the entire fellowship decided not to go.

Elrond stared at me with a fierce look in his eyes which would have killed me if looks could kill! Then he said "Very well, you shall go." And collapsed into his chair.

"Thankyou!" I grinned and typed "Then the fellowship all decided to go."
