Chapter 2 WHAT!

Disclaimer: No lotr characters I own, i no Japanese either. This chapter is pretty explanatory for a lot of the story.

When Frodo awoke the next morning, he felt no pain. But the words of Sauron lingered. Even though it was a dream, could it be possible? He thought to himself as he got dressed. Out in the kitchen, Sam was making breakfast and Rosie was playing with Elanor. When he sat down, Sam brought him a stack of pancakes.

" Here you are Mr. Frodo, its nice to see your up." he said. Rosie turned to him and smiled.

" Mystic seemed to help you along yesterday, don't you think, Frodo?" asked Rosie, her smile widening like it always did when she was talking about Mystic. Frodo knew he was looking flushed, but retained his dignity

" I have no recollection." He said as he proceeded to saw his pancakes. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Rosie answered it and in came Gandalf. Sam and Frodo ran over and gave him a hug

" Gandalf! It's so good to see you!" exclaimed Frodo. Gandalf had a reassuring smile on his face, but he looked tense.

" How have you been?" asked Sam. Gandalf paused for a moment

" I could be better, but I'm getting along OK. Haven't seen any signs of Sharkey followers, have you?" He asked them.

" No, not that I've seen." Sam replied.

" Well, there is something very important I need to talk to you all about. It's probably better if you put Elanor down for a nap." Gandalf said. None of the hobbits could tell what as the matter with him. Rosie took Elanor to the back bedroom and when she came back Gandalf started.

" Ok, well I'll break this down, The ring you destroyed Frodo only had half of the power of Sauron, The fall of the Black Gate was a fake! There's still the other half and apparently there has been signs that it is in the Shire, In what way, shape, or form, We did not know." Gandalf paused for a moment, as he let the hobbits take it all in. Frodo's eyes had gone very wide, Sam had dropped his pancake plate onto the floor, and Rosie looked horrified.

" I told you that we didn't know then, but now I think I do. I was in the market place last night and I walked by a girl, a very pretty one, but she had something about her. When I walked by her, I saw... The ring of fire in my very eyes. I felt evil and I felt possessed, She has the other half but how I don't know. Does the name Mystic Erebor sound familiar Mystic Erebor?" None of the hobbits spoke. He was talking about Mystic, Rosie's Friend, Frodo's crush, the other half of Sauron's power? Finally, Rosie broke the silence.

" Yes Gandalf, she is my best friend." said Rosie. Gandalf jumped up.

" Well, I must ask you Rosie to invite her for lunch, or what ever meal is next, we must find out!" exclaimed Gandalf. Rosie still looking shocked, but got on her jacket and left to get Mystic.

" Sam, come over here. We need to talk about something that is a more serious matter." Sam walked over to the table and sat down.

" I need you two to take whatever she has to Rivendell. I know its wrong for you to have to do it again, but we need you, and you only would have to go as far as Rivendell and come home, and now there's only 2 Nazgul." He said in one breathe as to get it all out at once. Before any of them could answer, Rosie came back in, with her was Mystic. Frodo lit up a little but he was almost scared of her. They sat her down in a chair. She looked a little frightened but when she saw Frodo, she smiled, the smile that warmed his heart. Then Gandalf started.

" Hello Mystic, my name is Gandalf." He said. This didn't seem to bring her any comfort.

" Yes, anyway, I saw you in the market earlier and well, its hard to explain but, were you carrying any jewelry or anything like a family heirloom of some sort?" He asked her. She gave him a puzzled look, but took something off from around her neck. Its was on a suede cord and it was a little angel. Gandalf took it from her.

" Mhhhm, yes well, Mystic you will need to come with me to the other room. You too, Sam and Frodo." He said and they walked from the kitchen to the front room. Then, once they had all sat down, Gandalf gave Mystic an overview of what happened( On the quest), it was something like this.

" 2 years ago Frodo and Sam where given a burden to carry...Well to save the whole of middle earth, you see Frodo and Sam went from Hobbiton to Mt. Doom, Mordor, with them they carried something that Sauron wanted REALLY BAD. So basically they made it out, um alive, but I have just received word that the thing that they destroyed was only half of it, the other half is that necklace, you must go with Sam and Frodo to Rivendell." Gandalf said quite fast. Mystic looked at him for a moment and then to Sam and Frodo.

" Is this true, you really went to the dark land?' She asked them. Frodo nodded his head as a wave of bad memories swept over his mind.

" Now Mystic, you can go back into the kitchen and you can tell Rosie, but when I'm done talking to Frodo and Sam I'll need you to make your mind up." Gandalf said to her kindly. She looked now very frightened, but she did as she was told. Once she was out of ear shot , Gandalf started again.

" OK, this is going to be a problem, ... oh dear ...yes it will be." Gandalf rambled as he paced the room.

" What's wrong, it seems the same as last time." said Sam all too good naturally for the situation.

" No, you see my young hobbits, I lied to her, You will have to destroy HER, she is where Sauron put his power!"
