Chapter
3- "Getting to know Sandy and the giving of a New Red
Book"
Frodo and Sandy walk by the beautiful creek and the
sun shined on Sandy's blonde hair and the soft wind blew it in front
of her face. Sandy sighed and looked down. "Frodo, those are
very painful memories to bring back up, that was 30 years ago, I
can't bare to bring it back up, that journey, that task, was a hard
one, one I never thought I would have to go on" Sandy said. "I
am sorry if I had said something wrong, I know what you mean, Its
been 4 years to the day that I was sent on my long journey, trust me,
I know how you feel, and its alright, you can share it with me or
not, it's all up to you, but I am here, and I understand" Frodo
said putting his arm around her. "Well, its been 30 years to the
day I was sent on mine, I was given a gift of a Ring, but not no
oridinary Ring, a powerful one, one that needed to be destroyed, so,
brave me, decided to go on the journey and try and destroy it, only
to find putting myself into danger, the Ring was never destroyed,
Sauron got it, ending my chance to save Middle Earth, but it took
over me like nothing else, it was unlike me to get so possessive over
it and in return I hurt a friend who had came along with me, and
every moment I got closer to Mordor, it seems as though as, the Ring
kept getting stronger and taking more of me by every single minute.."
She paused to wipe a tear from her eye and continued. "I left
Middle Earth shortly after my return because they said it would be
best for me after what I have been through, and that all Ringbearers
must come here, and the pain of that journey still lives with me, I
don't know what has happened there since I left, I don't know if my
family, my friends is still alive and if my home is still there, or
has just been taken over by Sauron" Sandy cried. Frodo was
amazed by how much they have in common, seeming how they both went on
the same exact journey to destroy the One Ring, but only a couple
years apart, Frodo hugged Sandy tight and spoke "I understand
Sandy, I really understand, I had to go on the same Journey not too
long ago, to destroy the Ring of power, it took over me the same way,
I ended up hurting my dear friend Sam, telling him to go home after
believing smegeol over him, I hurt him, but it was not me, it was the
Ring taken over, and the haunting talk of smegeols words. I carry
along the pain of the journey too" Frodo said lifting up his
shirt which revealed the wound from weather top when he got stabbed
by the WitchKing. Sandy gasped as she looked at it while at the same
time wiping tears from her eyes. "Its never fully healed, I
don't think it ever will, I often get pain and its unbearable, and at
night, I have dreams, of that day, the day the Witchking stabbed me
on weathertop" Frodo said getting teary eyed. "I am so
sorry to hear that, but Frodo, tell me, did the Ring ever get
destroyed?????" she asked. "Yes, me and Sam reached to
mount doom, and finally destroyed it, although there was a little
struggle between me and gollum, ending in me with a missing finger
and him falling into the lava, although I have a sort of guilt, I was
there, I could of destroyed it at the very moment, but something took
over me, I was drawn into the Rings power once again, turning around
and claiming the Ring was mine, I put the Ring on and disappeared and
was going to walk out keeping it as my own, I feel bad though, I
could destroyed it at the moment that I got there, but I let the
power take over." Frodo said. "No no, dont blame yourself,
be glad that the Ring is destroyed and we will never have to worry
about Sauron ever again! Frodo, I am so proud of you for destroying
it" Sandy said hugging him tight. "Thank you, so I was
told, I must come here, that this is a place where all Ringbearers
must go, and here I am!" Frodo said with a little smile. Sandy
smiled at Frodo, her hair glissened in the sun and the wind continued
to blow her hair in her face.
"You know, your a very
cute Hobbit, if I must say." Sandy said blushing. Frodo blushes
and speaks "Thank you sandy, I must say you are a very beautiful
girl, I noticed that when I first saw you playing next to the creek,
laughing and giggling" Frodo said grabbing her hand and smiling.
"Frodo!" Gandalf yells. Frodo looks over to see Gandalf,
Galadrial, Elrond and Bilbo standing watching him and smiling. "Come,
we have a suprise for you" Gandalf said. "Oh, well can
Sandy come with me?" Frodo asked holding her hand."Sure
Frodo!" Gandalf said. Frodo, Sandy, Galadrial, Bilbo, Gandalf
and Elrond walk to this beautiful place of the land, where many
Ringbearers and Elves have homes there. Frodo gasps as he looks
around, seeing the amazing houses and different things around him,
the houses are pure silver shining in the sunlight, butterflys fly
overhead and waterfalls fall off the mountain hill, where he spots
many elves walking slowly around, and off in the distance sees little
elves and hobbits playing.
"What is this place Elrond"
Frodo asked in awe. "This is east of the Undying Lands, Anáwiel,
a place where all elves and hobbits stay" Elrond said grinning.
"Wow! this is place is beautiful!" Frodo said excitedly.
"See this home right here, this is where you will be sleeping,
its a fine place Frodo, youll find it absoulutly delightful"
Elrond said. "Wow, that is great, Oh guys..I meant to introduce
you to a friend that I met, this is Sandy Gamgee, Sandy this is
Gandalf, Bilbo, Galadrial, and Elrond" Frodo said. "Its
nice to meet you all!" Sandy said smiling and holding out her
hand. "Its a pleasure to meet you Sandy, you wouldn't happen to
be related to uh..." Gandalf said with Frodo interuppting him.
"No no, she does not know Sam from the Shire" Frodo said
smiling at Sandy. "Its wonderful that Frodo has met someone here
to talk to, a hobbit just like him, you know uh...the dear lad,
doesn't have a girl.." Bilbo started to say and was quickly
interuppted by Frodo. "Uncle....." he said whispering. "I
am sorry my boy" Bilbo said. "Its nice to meet you Sandy!"
Galadrial said. "Its so nice to meet you Sandy" Elrond
said. They all shake Sandys hand, as Frodo can't seem to stop smiling
at her, he's endired by her beauty, in his heart he feels a wonderful
feeling, a feel of feelings, a feel for love.
"Frodo?
Frodo?" Galadrial says waving her hand in front of Frodos face,
she notices he is in a gaze, not just a normal gaze, a love gaze and
she smiles, and snaps her fingers. "Ah what!" Frodo says
coming back to his senses. "You alright? you were in a trance
there for a moment" Elrond said. "I am fine, I dont know
what came over me, something seem to caught my eye.." Frodo said
looking over to Sandy. Sandy blushed and looked the other way to hide
her blushing from Frodo. "You are too kind Frodo." Sandy
said. Gandalf looked at Bilbo and smiled and leaned over to him "I
think our young lad is in love" Gandalf said smiling. "I
think so too, look at him, he can barely take his eyes off of her,
which is good for him, Frodo hasnt had..anyone, to love, well except
for family members and friends, but I mean, a girll, hes never had a
girl to love" Bilbo said smiling. "I think love is in the
air, and I am glad for him, now! we must give him that suprise"
Gandalf said. "What suprise, Bilbo.....Gandalf, what is it?"
Frodo said anxiously. "We can't hold it from you for so long, or
else you will jump all over the place, I will let Elrond do the
honors" Galadrial said. Elrond pulls out this velvet box, with
elvish words written all over it and hands it to Frodo. "For
you, our brave hobbit" Elrond said. Frodo opens it to find a red
book, much like the one that Bilbo owned that he gave him and that he
gave to Sam.
"Oh my...its wonderful, its much like the
book that you gave me bilbo....and that I gave to Sam before leaving
Middle Earth" He said excitedly. He sighed and clutched the book
to his heart. "Its amazing, I don't know to say, but I will
write all my stories and a journal in it of my everyday life here,
and I will take very good care of it, and someday, give this book to
one of my children, or someone who means so much to me, Thank all of
you from the bottom of my heart." He said hugging all of them.
"Your very welcome, it was a gift from all of us, we thought it
would be great if you'd write a story of being here, and your
journeys, we all thought it would satisfy you" Gandalf said
smiling. "It is wonderful, you don't know what this means to me,
I will write all my journeys and all my stories in this book, thanks
again" Frodo said smiling.
"Keep it close brave
hobbit, keep it close to your heart" Galadrial said. "I
shall, thank you" he said bowing. Sandy grabs the red book from
Frodo and looks at it. "Heyy, thats mine! You did not ask for
it!" Frodo said laughing. "Ohh I didnt, but I took it
anyway" she said laughing. "So what are you going to write
in it?" Sandy asked. "My life, my journeys, my stories,
much like I did in Bilbos book" He said. "Where is this
book now? Don't you have it?" Sandy asked. "Now what a
question, if I had the other book, what would there be a need for
another one? Frodo said laughing. "Well I don't know, I thought
maybe you ran out of paper and needed a new one!" she said
giggling.
"Frodo...me, Galadrial, Bilbo and Gandalf are
going to get a bite to eat, are you going to eat? you must be
starving!" Elrond asked. "Yes I am starving, I will be
there in a minute, Sandy you can come to!" Frodo said grabbing
the red book back from her. "Sure! I am really hungry, how
lovely of you to invite!" Sandy said smiling. She looked into
Frodos eyes unable to take her eyes away from them, she was falling
madly in love with him. "Lets go!" Frodo said grabbing her
hand. "Alright" she said holding unto Frodos hand. Her
heart pounded as she was walking hand in hand with Frodo, she
couldn't stop smiling, she was in love. Frodo and Sandy walked hand
in hand and with the red book in Frodo's other hand clutching it next
to his heart.
