Awake
Frodo
I had no idea what so ever of how much time had passed or even where I was. All I'd been aware of was a bright light an Elf with dark hair speaking to me in Elvish and people calling to me.
"Where am I," I cried out weakly into the silver light. Amanda should be here she said she would never leave me. Instead I heard Gandalf's voice say as the world shifted into focus,
"You are in the house of Elrond and it is ten o clock in the morning on October the 24th if you want to know!" The silver mist disappeared when I opened my eyes.
"Gandalf!" I said in surprise.
"Yes I'm here!" he answered shortly. I looked to the chair beside his and saw Amanda sleeping in it her hand was limply clasped over mine on the covers. "Amanda has been here since the day she arrived never once leaving your side," Gandalf mentioned this after noting where my gaze went. I could not tell if he was moderately pleased or offended. "You're lucky to be here as well Frodo," Gandalf added as an afterthought. "A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid but you have some strength in you my dear Hobbit." Gingerly I sat up testing my shoulder seeing how far it would let me go before it protested.
"What happened Gandalf?" I asked when I was sitting up comfortably. "Why didn't you meet us?"
"Oh I am sorry Frodo," he answered with a long pause follwing. "I was delayed," he finished sorrowfully. Gandalf then sat for a moment or two as though he were recalling some unfortunate fact he'd stored away for later.
"Gandalf? What is it?" I asked softly drawing him out of his reverie.
"Nothing Frodo," he said frowning distastefully at whatever thought was bothering him. Just as I was about to question the wily old wizard further I heard Sam's voice call out,
"Frodo!" Gandalf's eyes lit up as he turned his attention to the door. "Frodo," he cried again as he raced to the side of the bed opposite Gandalf and Amanda.
"Sam!" I cried back at him in delight for I had sure missed him.
"Bless you you're awake,' he said in disbelief clasping my hand.
"Sam hardly left your side either," commented Gandalf smiling at us.
"We were that worried weren't we Mr. Gandalf?" exclaimed Sam.
"By the skills of Lord Elrond you.re beginning to mend," Gandalf nodded to the side as a dark haired Elf glided up beside him. He made sure to stay as far away from Amanda as he could without making it obvious.
"Welcome to Rivendell Frodo Baggins," he said with a smile and I knew we were among friends
