Reasons why NOT to join the Fellowship of the ring

by Elleth of Hidden Lore

Have you ever wanted to join the Fellowship of the Ring? Do you have a thirst for adventure, magic and glorious battles? Well, think again. Do you really think being in the Fellowship is that easy? Would you survive months without a bed, bathrooms, toilet paper, and internet? No, of course not. Join Alexandra as she goes though the adventure she never wanted to have. T for language

15. Reason 15

This is not particularly a reason not to join the Fellowship, but it did come to mind and it really was a creepy scene that I still cannot see when watching the movie, but we decided to go for it because it sounded funny… and he really is freaky.

15- Frankly, Bilbo Baggins freaks me out

One time, in those rare peaceful days we had, I was having some random conversations with the hobbits, which isn't so easy since we don't really have that much in common. But we were trying to bond in these times of hardships, which proved to be useful, if you remember that time when Gandalf knocked me out when I lost my sanity and was trying to abandon me I the middle of the planes. In the middle of said conversation, Frodo asked me all of a sudden if I had met his uncle Bilbo Baggins. This trigged a memory I had wanted to forget…

*flashback*

This actually happened before we left Rivendell. I was walking down the halls one day when I suddenly encountered Frodo talking to Bilbo, which is normal, but as I was about to continue walking I saw how Bilbo's face suddenly turned into this hideous, devil looking thing as he growled at Frodo, reaching for the ring. I was scared shitless and didn't sleep that night, especially since their room was next to mine. After finding myself unable to sleep, I decided it was a good idea to have a little stroll around the house. And this is something that not everybody knows but, Bilbo is a sleepwalker. He came up to me and asked me for his ring. For a moment there I was rooted to the floor and that was when he got violent and charged at me while demanding that I gave him back the ring. I ran away screaming down the halls waking every living elf, hobbit, dwarf and human along the way. Who knew elves could be so moody and vulgar? They would open their doors and yell at me to shut up (while adding a few curses in elven that I would later recognize thanks to Legolas and Gimli's bickering) yet none of them had the decency to come help the poor human girl being chased by the devil-hobbit. Damn that little old hobbit, he would not give up, and for his age, he was darn fast. He chased me all the way out of the Last Homely House and into the woods. The next morning I came back looking like a hermit with twigs and leaves in my hair and my nightgown torn by branches, and the elves who had seen me that night run out just looked at me and laughed! Needless to say, I don't really like Rivendell.

Can you look him straight in the face when you see that freaky scene, because honestly I really can't! Please tell me! I simply look away just before it comes.
