Chapter 6: Rivendell

They left as soon as possible. Butterbur tried to get Mystic to have one last " For the road" drink. Mystic politely refused. The sky was getting lighter and lighter as they walked out of the cluster of buildings that was Bree.

" Oh Goodness, just think, I was looking forward to THAT!" Mystic said very gruffly. They walked along in silence for a while. It was quite late when they decided to stop. Frodo would have liked to keep going, considering they where in plain view of Wheathertop, but also he had a bad feeling about this night. The air was strangely thin and chilling and the dark sky was it's darkest shades of black and purple. It was about 12 o clock when it happened. Frodo was just drifting off to sleep when he heard the scream. He firstly though it was Mystic and looked over with a start. She was sitting up and looking around frantically.

" RUN FOR THE WOODS, MYSTIC.' Frodo yelled. The last thing he needed was for Mystic to get found. Up from the road he could hear the wings of the foul beasts. Mystic was running ahead of him but as it was 100 yard away from them she slipped. Frodo tried to help her up, but in his franticness he fell also, for there was a large mud puddle. Frodo's next strategy was to make no movement and hope that the beasts would pass him over. When they where right above them, Mystic tried to get up. The Nazgul screamed and swooped down on them. Frodo wanted to die, he couldn't believe this would happen again! The Nazgul to his right got off the beast and proceeded toward him. All Frodo could think about was I must protect Mystic His life didn't matter, it was save her and save Middle Earth. The Nazgul pulled it's blade out. Mystic led out a small squeak .The blade was plunged, Frodo was ready for pain, but nothing happened. But next to him Mystic was screaming, screaming louder if possible then a ringwraith. Frodo mounted his courage and stood up . Before the blade could go deeper Frodo grabbed a hold of it and pulled back. He was never very strong, but he pulled with all his might and he was a pretty hard match for that ringwraith. Once it was out of her, she curled up in a ball. Now the ringwraith was coming for Frodo, but Frodo had its sword. He lifted the blade as high as he could, witch was not very high for a hobbit, and plunged it into the ringwraith. It screamed a scream that even Mystic couldn't have matched, It was deafening , twice as loud as a normal ringwraith. But as soon as the screaming started , it stopped, Frodo looked up at the other Nazgul who was now flying away. When he looked back at the Nazgul that had stabbed Mystic, it was gone. All that lay there was a rather large pile of black robes and the long silver sword that was burned 2 inches past it's point. Frodo stood in silence for a moment, but then ran over to Mystic. She looked half dead.

" Mystic! Don't cross over! I need you Mystic, please Don't!" He said with anguish. Mystic stared at him emotionless. Frodo, though his body was tired with sleepiness, picked Mystic up, wrapped her in a blanket, and began walking. She was shivering and she started to mumble The Black Speech. Frodo walked until he knew no more, he laid down in the middle of the road and fell asleep.

The next morning at around 5 Frodo set out again. He wished he had more of a fellowship with him, he would have had more help. His body ached from head to toe, but he kept on walking. The 2 days that passed where like a cycle for him. By the end of the 2nd day, he was convinced that he hurt more then Mystic. He wanted to die, just to have a brief moment of time with no pain. He sat on a patch of grass and tried to give Mystic some healer's medicine. When she wouldn't take more then a few drops Frodo gave up and secretly ( though there was no one around) took 3 drops for his own strength. He walked until 3 the next morning, when he saw a light approaching from the road yonder. Frodo dropped Mystic lightly on a patch of grass and sat next to her, waiting for the approaching figure. When they got closer Frodo let out a yell of surprise. There on 2 big Elven horses sat Gimli and Legolas. Frodo completely forgot about Mystic and ran over to meet them.

" Legolas! Ohh my gosh! Gimli, Are you here to save us?" He asked them. Legolas hopped off his horse and walked to the place where Mystic lay.

" Frodo, my dear friend! It is very good to see you, and yes, we are here to save you." He said as he picked up mystic. Gimli hopped down from his horse also.

" We where visiting Elrond when we heard news of 2 young hobbits with another quest on there hands." Gimli said. Mystic began to twitch uncontrollably.

" We must hurry, her wound is not severe but she will pass if we do nothing, come now, make haste, Frodo you ride with Gimli, I'll hold the girl." Legolas said. Once everyone was on there horse and ready Legolas gave his horse a little kick and they both started to gallop. Frodo, though he enjoyed not having to walk, had a very uncomfortable and bumpy ride. At around sundown , the Ford of Bruinen was insight. Mystic had stopped breathing regularly, it was clearly taking more of an effect on her then it did for Frodo. As the clear blue water was close enough to feel, on the other side Elrond was standing there, clearly calming the waters as he saw them approach. When the river was right at there feet, Mystic stopped breathing at all.

" HURRY we must do something!" Frodo yelled at Elrond and Legolas. They knew that 5 more minutes like this and she would be one of them, doomed to live a life of the wraith. Not to soon, the water started to calm. Legolas immediately galloped over the ford, though it still was harshly blowing him around. They had 2 minutes. Frodo's heart was racing, she had to make it! Leaving Frodo and Gimli Legolas let Elrond onto his horse and galloped off . Frodo looked upset.

" Oh, little do you know, my young hobbit, that probably saved her life. " Gimli said. Once the ford was completely calm, Gimli finally passed over it. Frodo wasn't allowed to see her yet, so he stood outside the room, over looking the courtyard of Elrond's home. He hoped he had done all he could for both Mystic and her quest, he was just realizing that he wouldn't have to go on any longer. Gimli, apparently tired of Frodo's thinking interrupted his train of thought .

" Uh, Frodo, I think you can see her now." He said. Frodo looked back to see one of Elrond's elves peeking her head around the door.

" Yes Frodo," She said," You may see her, but it will be awhile before she awakes." She said as she led Frodo into quite a familiar room. It was the room he had been in while he was unconscious. There on the crème and gold sheets she lay, her eyes where shut but you could see that she had emotion, she looked like she was dreaming.

" Ah yes, Frodo, long time no see, well you have done the right things with her." Frodo looked up. Elrond stood before him. He didn't look worried but a line was creasing his smooth forehead.

" The fact that you forced her to drink the herb was very smart, it probably saved her life, it will however damage her in a way that will be with her until she dies." He said looking gravely at him. Frodo touched his shoulder and felt the pain of his scar, she was going to be like me, he thought. The next week was unnerving for Frodo. He was worried about Mystic and the last counsel of Elrond was approaching and he was specifically invited. He had a very bad feeling about it. The day before the counsel, Frodo met Bilbo again. When Frodo was going up to see Mystic, he saw a small old hobbit sitting in a chair in Elrond's library, reading a book entitled " The accounts of Isildur " Frodo wasn't sure if it was him at first, but when the man looked up revealing the hearty smile that was so familiar, Frodo gave a leap of joy.

" Bilbo! oh its so good to see you." Frodo said, running over and giving Bilbo a hug. Bilbo studied him for a moment.

" My my Frodo, you look the same, how are you?' Bilbo asked.

" I'm here because, well do you know the story?" He asked him, since Bilbo lived in Elrond's house, the word must have gotten around.

" Yes, but I had no idea yo would b taking the girl, she's very pretty Frodo, if she wasn't full of evil I'd tell you to get her while you can!" He said. Frodo laughed.

" Well how have you been holding over?" Frodo asked him. Bilbo shrugged

" Can't complain, well I know that Elrond will be going out to the west in a year and a half, said he could take a few of us ring lover's too!" He said. Frodo have another laugh but it was fake one. He and Bilbo talked for a little while longer, but Frodo insisted to go and stay with Mystic.

When he got up to the tower, Mystic seemed a little better. Elrond's elves where doing some sort of medicine ritual on her wound. Frodo could see how it resembled his. He felt so bad that a girl like her had an ordinary life but then it was so drastically change. Then he thought of his own life, he could have lived normally, but it was all thanks to Sauron, stupid Sauron!
