Chapter 11 "The Awakening of Frodo"

Sandy awoke and looked over at Frodo who seemed to be still asleep, a grow of worry came over her, she was afraid he was gone, that he had taken his very last breathe and left her, but deep inside she had hope that maybe he was going to be able to get through this. She looked at him as one single tear fell from her eye, she burying her face in his chest and started to cry. "Frodo, please, you cannot leave me, please, fight this, please, fight it!" Sandy cried. Just as she had said that, Frodo's eyes opened as he looked around, he was dazed and confused, his vision hasn't completly returned to his eyes, but he could hear Sandy weeping. "Sandy.." Frodo whispered. Sandy lifted her head from Frodo's chest to find that she was then staring into Frodo's beautiful blue eyes, a smile went on her face and her eyes got big. "Frodo!!! your alive, oh my god, your alive, I was so worried that you would not survive this" Sandy said hugging him tight. "Sandy, its so good to see you with me, to hear your voice, to feel your touch, but I fear not all my vision has indeed returned to me, it will take time I am afraid, but alas I am alive, and the greatest thing is, I am here with you" Frodo said hugging her tight. "Oh god, you had us very worried, we were afraid that we were going to lose you, such in bad shape you was, but you are awake and alive and I am soo happy" Sandy said smiling. "I am happy too, to be alive, and here with you, but where are the others, they must know of my awakening!" Frodo said. "They are in the other room, they asked for me to let them know if you awake or if things turn worse, you now have Galadrial to thank, for she was your only hope in any survival" Sandy said holding Frodo's hand. "Galadrial? So much hope she has given me, so much care, she will get my thanks, she has once again helped me when it was needed, thankful am I to have such a friend" Frodo said smiling. "Bilbo! Galadrial! Gandalf! Elrond! Come quick! Frodo has awaken!" Sandy yelled. Bilbo, Galadrial, Gandalf and Elrond heard Sandy's yelling and rushed to Frodo's room to find him awake and well. "My dear lad, your getting better, oh thank goodness, I was afraid to lose you my boy" Bilbo said running to him giving him a hug. "My my Frodo, you never cease to amaze me, once again, you have battled death and won" Gandalf said walking to him and hugging him. "It's good that you have survived, we were beginning to worry that the illness could not be taken care of, but thank goodness we have Galadrial with us, or we would of lost you" Elrond said walking over to him giving him a hug.

"The great illness that had taken over you, has passed, the spell had worked, but as you already probably know, your vision will slowly come back, but your alive and well Frodo" Galadrial said walking to him and hugging him. "Thank you so much Galadrial, thank you so much" Frodo said hugging Galadrial tight. "And thank you all, for not giving up on me, and losing hope, and staying by my side, especially you Sandy, having you by my side in this hour of bad times, means more to me than you will probably ever know" Frodo said smiling at her, he leaned over and kissed Sandy softly on her lips, Sandy kissed back but more passionatly than the first time kissing him, this time she had a much more powerful kiss, but Frodo pulled back and kind of winced, as if some of the pain was still there and his eyes were playing tricks where he didnt have his vision completely back. "Ohh I am sorry, was that too much?" Sandy asked. "No, no, it was perfect, its just, my eyes are playing tricks and it seems as if the pain still lingers within me, and I feel very exausted." Frodo said laying his head back on the pillow. "I am sorry, maybe its best if you get some rest my love" Sandy said stroking his hair. "No, I can't bare to be without you another minute, stay by my side." Frodo said. "Frodo, she is right, you need your rest, you can see her when you wake up" Bilbo said. "But, I will not sleep peacefully without her here by my side, the thought of her not being beside me, would keep me awake" Frodo said. "Frodo.." Gandalf said. "Gandalf, no worries, I will be fine!" Frodo said.

Gandalf let out a sigh as he mumbled "hobbits", Frodo heard what Gandalf said and giggled and mumbled "Wizards, always worried." Gandalf laughed a bit and spoke "well its good to see that your sense of humor has returned" Gandalf said smiling. "Thats my boy!" Bilbo said. "Well, we will let you have your rest, we will be in the next room, yell if you shall need us" Elrond said. "I shall." Frodo said. Galadrial picked up Frodo's new red book and handed it to him and spoke "it seems that you have dropped something, keep it close" Galadrial said. Frodo's eyes got big as he saw that Galadrial had the red book in her hands and spoke "tell me you have not seen my silly writings Lady Galadrial, for it is much to embarrassing of things I have written" Frodo said. "No no, Frodo, do not worry, I have not read, I respect privacy" Galadrial said giggling and handed the red book to him. "Thank you" Frodo said. "Your welcome!" Galadrial said kissing him on the head.

Galadrial and Elrond walked into the other room, and Gandalf and Bilbo proceeded to follow, leaving Frodo and Sandy in his room alone with the sounds of nature and the light coming from the window. Sandy got up and layed in Frodo's arms, and Frodo wrapped his arms around her tight, kissing her neck lightly, a slight worry came over Sandy and Frodo could sense it. "whats the matter Sandy?" Frodo asked. "I worry Frodo, the illness may come back, worser than it was just now, I fear, the next time I could lose you, so many scary visions build up in my mind, I fear to lose you" Sandy said getting choked up. "Aww Sandy, don't worry, Galadrial's spell worked, there will be no illness returning to be worse, yes I may still have pain, but it won't ever get as bad as it was ever again, I am sure of it, I trust Galadrials spells" Frodo said holding her tight. "I was so scared, scared of losing you, you looked so sick and you were suffering, I was so scared for you" Sandy said crying. "Aww well don't worry now, things will be alright, once I get rest, and the rest of my vision returns, things will be back to normal, I promise" Frodo said kissing her shoulder. "I sure hope so, I don't want to lose you" Sandy said. "You won't lose me, I will always be here with you" Frodo said.

Sandy still had doubts deep down in her heart, she was sensing something not right, and it scared her, she didn't know what to do, but just to enjoy every moment of being with Frodo, even if it means that sometime his illness will return, she was not sure of it if these were the senses she was getting, but deep down in her heart, she could sense something, some sort of trouble brewing, she could not help the feelings she was getting, but she did not let them ruin her moments with Frodo, she was thankful he was alive and with her.
