The Cure

"We did it! We won!" Amelia said, embracing Frodo and kissing him on the cheek a few times.

"You were so brave!" Frodo said, chuckling and blushing.

"Now, we need to find that Cure!" Balin huffed, watching as Merry handed Estella a wet blanket, before stepping out into the open. The sun's first rays arose in the sky, sending tingles up Merry's spine, making the pain hurt worse this time. He jumped the second Estella draped the wet blanket over him. Balin gasped in shock at the sight of Merry coming out the blanket with pinkish skin. "Whoa!"

"That's how it works!" Merry said, astonished. "I have a beating heart now!"

"Oh, Merry!" Estella said, kissing his lips in admiration.

Amelia took a wet blanket before the others had the chance to do so, before turning to Frodo. In the few seconds he stepped out into the sunlight, already aching in pain from the sun's light, Amelia counted three seconds before throwing the wet blanket over him. She watched him come out of the blanket, staring at himself. He had pink skin, too. She pressed her hand to his chest, feeling a heartbeat. There was one!

Frodo was back!

She smiled, admiring him. "We did it! I always wanted to do that! And now I have!" She looked at the others as their lasses draped wet blankets over them, curing them of the vampire disease. She returned her gaze to Frodo, happy to see he was well. "We did it. Together."

"Together," Frodo said, kissing her fondly on the lips. He released her, extending his hand to her. "Come. Let's get something to eat. I hear grilled food is exquisite this time of year."

"Frodo," Amelia chuckled, "I couldn't agree more." She took his hand, walking with him across the ruined campus and into the sunlight, where they belonged.
