Chapter
6 "The Writing in the Red Book"
Frodo rubs his
shoulder as he opens his book, Elrond walks in with a bottle of Elven
medicine for him. "Here you go Frodo, this should help the pain"
Elrond said handing him a bottle of medicine. "Thank you Elrond,
I am hoping it will ease the pain." Frodo said holding his
shoulder. "I will let you be, hope you feel better" Elrond
said. "Thank you Elrond, I really hope so too." Frodo said
wincing again. Elrond left the room shutting the door behind him, he
was growing worry like Gandalf was. Frodo drank the bottle of
medicine down in one gulp, he was determined to feel better, once he
finished the bottle, he was feeling a little bit better. Elronds
medicine was always known to start working once it has been drank,
Frodo was very happy that he had Elrond around. Frodo sighed and
began to write.
"It has been 4 years to the day since I
went on my long journey to destroy the ring, that task is done, the
Ring has been destroyed. It has been not long now since my return to
the Shire and my leaving of Middle Earth and arriving to the Undying
Lands. On my arrival I was blown away by the beauty of the place, it
is one of the most spectacular places I have ever been to. The lands,
the creeks, the waterfalls, the sounds of peace, its so beautiful
here, when I explored a bit of the land, I found myself meeting a
hobbit girl named Sandy Gamgee, who which by the way is not related
to my dear friend Samwise Gamgee back in the Shire. I was also amazed
to find out that she went on the same journey as I, the same task, to
destroy the One Ring, only her journey was 30 years ago. And I want
to note that I have fallen madly in love with her" he paused a
moment only to try and get passed the pain again which shot through
him like needles, he couldn't understand why Elrond's medicine was
not working yet. Finally the pain passed and he continued to write.
"She has beautiful blonde hair and the most wonderful
eyes, their brown, I can't help but get lost in them as I am looking
at her. Bilbo is up to his tricks again, he wants me to tell her my
feelings, hes been making comments in front of her to embarrass me,
but oh Bilbo, such a devious hobbit he is. I plan to tell Sandy my
feelings soon, I was after supper, but my wound from Weathertop was
hurting once again, and Elrond gave me some medicine that he made for
it, but I am afraid that it has not kicked in yet. Gandalf growed
worried after the pain returned during supper, but remained silent,
almost as if he knows something I do not, but the look told all,
which now has me worried, he says the would will never really heal.
About my finger which I had lost after gollum attacked me for the
Ring at the Cracks of Doom, is of course gone forever, I have had a
difficult time doing things with my right hand with the lost of my
finger, but I manage to get through it. I must mention that before
Sandy had left after supper, she gave me a kiss on the cheek, I was
really shocked, she was more open with her feelings than I, I wanted
to kiss her back but the butterflies that brewed in my stomach held
me back and the pain of the wound kept me from doing so, but I vow to
kiss her sometime. I continue to miss the Shire, Sam, Merry, and
Pippin, everyone back in Middle Earth who has been apart of my life,
and those who are not, I miss. I wonder each day in my mind how they
are all doing, I miss them all so much and wish I could go back to
visit, I have not asked Gandalf that sort of question seeming how we
had just got here, but maybe later, I will ask. I am happy here in
the Undying Lands finally, I have re found the happiness I needed
since the ending of my journey and returning back to the Shire. There
is so much more I need to explore, it's such never ending beauty, I
can't even begin to tell you, I have enjoyed my stay so far and I
have many more adventures to come I bet, but no dangerous ones, but
trufully amazing, wonderful and fun filled adventures with Gandalf,
Bilbo, Elrond, Galadrial, and most importantly Sandy, oh how my heart
just misses a beat speaking her name, I can't help but to ignore what
I feel inside, in my heart which is that of love. Well now I must end
this for now, rest is needed, I have had a long day and I am not
going to get better without the much needed rest, I shall write more
soon, until now, I must say goodbye."
Frodo finished his
first entry of his new Red Book and closed it, clutching it next to
his chest, he layed his head on the soft white pillow and closed his
eyes, letting his mind rest, escaping in a world of dreams,
forgetting about the pain of which he was in, he dreamt of Sandy, the
most wonderful dreams of her, dreams of which he and her were
together, a little smile came across his face and he continued to
rest.
