His dreams were filled with his home, Bag End, and Hobbiton, but they were interrupted when Frodo awoke to voices. He saw by the dimming light of the fire, Kiaro crouching with her sword drawn. Frodo shuffled out of his warm, makeshift bed causing Kiaro to stir and look round. She placed her finger to her lips and crept forward to where the voices were coming from. Frodo followed, as silently as a hobbit could. He listened and heard what he thought was an argument between more than two people.
"I'm not going out there first!" said one,
"Well don't look at me," another said, "Why doesn't he? He hasn't done anything!"
"No way, No, I don't want to get killed!"
Suddenly Kiaro jumped up and pulled someone out into the clearing. The man yelped but fell silent as soon as Kiaro placed the cold, hard steel of her sword to his throat. The man was quite tall, rugged looking and had long brown hair.
"Hey, you guys, where's Aragorn gone?!" Someone said in a surprised voice.
Kiaro held her blade tight against the man's neck but the Frodo shouted out to her.
"Wait, don't kill him. He's my friend!"
Kiaro loosened her clutch on the man's arm and was about to remove her sword from his neck when there was some commotion in the wood where the man had just stood. Seven people jumped out of the trees and aimed their weapons at the startled elf.
One was a fair elf, and was pointing a loaded bow at her head. There was a man clasping a sword and a tall wise looking individual wielding a long staff in the air. There was also a small but powerful looking dwarf, gripping a razor sharp axe with three halflings each brandishing a short dagger, behind him.
"Put away your weapon for we have no need for war between our fellow people in these places!" commanded the Wizard.
Kiaro slowly withdrew her sword and let go of the struggling man who at once jumped to his feet, looking extremely angry. The elf took a step forward and prepared to shoot the arrow to stop Kiaro but yet again, Frodo interrupted by shouting, "No, don't kill her. She saved my life!"
Everyone in the clearing turned and stared at Frodo in a confused way and said together,
"WHAT!!!???"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Frodo first went over to the other hobbits and embraced joyfully with them. Then he embraced with the rest of the group and finally turned to the bewildered looking Kiaro, who was still on the floor, sword by her side.
"These are my companions, whom I lost in that cavern you saved me from. We lost each other in the darkness. I went one way and they, the other." Then he turned to his friends and said, "This fair elf-maiden, Kiaro, saved my life when I nearly came to my end. I was surrounded by orcs and she came to my rescue and brought me here. I owe my life to her."
"Well if this is true then so do I, for my life belongs along side Frodo's. But yet we have not introduced ourselves to you Kiaro.... I am Legolas Greenleaf, an elf of Mirkwood." Said the elf, lowering his bow and bowing his head in a greeting.
"And I am Gimli son of Gloin"
"I am Boromir, son of Lord Denethor."
Next one of the halflings stepped forward. He had curly blonde hair and quite babyish face. "I'm ... I'm Samwise Gamgee, but please call me Sam. Thank you for saving Master Frodo's life, I am eternally grateful."
Kiaro smiled back at Sam and he seemed to feel a little less awkward after that.
"I'm Merriadoc Brandybuck but my friends call me Merry," said the halfling with the lighter brown hair of the two un-introduced halflings.
"Merry it is then," said Kiaro smiling, "if I'm your friend?"
"You saved Frodo's life, of course!" answered Merry.
Next the last halfling to say his name stepped forward "I'm Pippin, short for Peregrin Took."
Kiaro smiled at him and then spoke to the rugged man whom she had mistaken earlier for the enemy.
"I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding and I hope you'll forgive me and won't hold it against me." Kiaro looked at the man for a moment and he was silent but then he said stonily,
"Of course not, for like Merry said you did save Frodo's life. Its just I don't like having people hold their swords up to my throat."
"No, neither do I but it still happens to me often!! No really, I'm forever sorry."
"I accept your apology. I am Strider, a ranger from the north," answered he.
"You have not asked my name yet," said the Wizard "I am ..."
He hadn't finished but stopped for Kiaro interrupted "You would be Gandalf the Grey. My father is a good friend of yours."
"Yes this is true. I do know a few in these parts but I would have to be reminded."
"Well, you all look like you haven't eaten or slept properly in days. Please, come with me to my home and I will provide you with both the food and bedding you require. You can meet my Father as well."
The company gazed at her uncertainly so she added, "Only if you can trust me and want to of course; my dwelling is not far from here on horse back, I have my horse, Soulmane. Do you have any steeds?" enquired she.
"Yes but only four," said Legolas in reply to Kiaro's question.
"Well I can ride with an extra person if necessary."
"Yes, that would be helpful because as Legolas said, we only have four steeds," Said Gimli
"I can take Gimli on my horse, Gandalf can take one of the hobbits and so can Strider, Boromir and yourself, Kiaro," added Legolas.
"Two to a horse sounds satisfactory. It's not far anyway, we won't be riding long until we will see my home."
So it was settled. Gimli was to ride with Legolas, Pippin with Gandalf, Sam with Strider, Merry with Boromir and Frodo with Kiaro. Kiaro bent down and retrieved her cloak from where Frodo had cast it aside on his bed. She wrapped it around her shoulders and then mounted Soulmane. When they had all climbed on to their horse, Kiaro shouted, "Follow me, not far!" and then whispered in Soulmane's ear something in Elven and then they were off.
