Chapter 7: Rivendell

"Strider!" Sam called as he sat next to Frodo. Among everyone, me and Sam were the most worried. Strider ran to us and examined Frodo concerned.

"Is he going to die?" Diamond whispered to Merry.

"He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade," Strider said as the blade disintegrated into sand and blew away in the wind. Merry shrugged his shoulders at Diamond, and I continued to stroke Frodo's cheek.

"Help him Strider!" Sam shrieked.

"This is beyond my skill to heal. He needs elvish medicine." Strider told us as he scooped Frodo into his arms, Frodo let out a small scream and wince. We began to run, and run, and RUN. We were headed for Rivendell, where the elves were. Sam was in a panicky state, as well as I.

"Were six days from Rivendell!" Sam yelled as we ran.

"He'll never make it!" I added.

"Hold on Frodo," Strider whispered to him.

"Gandalf? GANDALF!" Frodo screamed. Now, I wished I was home, alive. Death seemed to be following me now. It was dark, so we stopped. There were statues of three, huge giants around us.

"Sam, are you familiar with the plant Athelas?" Strider asked as he set Frodo down.

"Athelas?"

"Kingsfoil."

"Kingsfoil! That's a weed!"

"Yes, it may help to stop the pain. Quick!" Strider motioned to Sam as they ran off into the forest. This left me, Diamond, Genevieve, Merry, and Pippin alone with the fading Frodo. I sat in between my two friends and wrapped my arms around my knees.

"I miss home." Diamond suddenly muttered, Gen nodding her head in agreement.

"Once this is all over, we can go home, maybe..." the thought of us getting murdered flashed back into my head.

"Its times like these when I could listen to a Taylor Swift song on my iPod." Genevieve said with a distant smile. I could feel the tears welling up, but reluctantly held them back.

"What's an iPod?"

"Or who's Taylor Swift?" Merry and Pippin questioned, while sitting next to Frodo.

"An iPod stores all your music, and you can look through it and find the song you want and listen to it!" Diamond told them, they were totally lost.

"Stores music? Like, music sheets?" Pippin asked thinking he had the concept.

"No, never mind we can explain later." Genevieve said. Frodo shifted an let out a really loud moan, and he began to breath heavily, with an almost high tone to it. I gasped and covered my mouth, just to make sure no one heard the small sob I let out. I don't know why I was so devastated over Frodo, I just felt a connection with him right from the start of the journey. He had been kind to me, understanding, and comforting. Not to mention he was super duper attractive. Prettiest blue eyes, darkest black hair, the perfect jawline and nose, and not to mention his smile! At that moment I admitted to myself that I was in love with Frodo. Suddenly, Sam ran from behind the bushes panting, and sweaty. We all jumped a little at his noise, where was Strider?

"We... found... and then... elf!" Sam managed to get out from all the panting.

"What? Catch your breath, that's it, what did you say?" Merry asked Sam. He didn't answer, he only looked behind us in wonder, as if he were being hypnotized. Slowly, I turned my head to see what he was staring at, so did everyone else.

There was a woman sliding off her horse in the most graceful, quick manner I had ever seen. When she turned around I saw how beautiful she was. She had long, brown hair that traveled down her back to her waist. She was tall, and had deep brown eyes, and full lips. She was an angel, I had fully convinced myself. But then I remembered Sam always talking about the elves.

"Whose that?" Diamond whispered in awe to me.

"She's an elf." Merry replied loudly. No one else was talking as she made her way to Frodo's side. Strider quickly made his way to her side as he appeared out of nowhere from out of the forest.

"He's fading... He's bot going to last. We need to get him to my father." she said as she examined Frodo, who was now almost hyperventilating and growing paler.

"I have been looking for you for two days." she said once again facing Strider.

"What? Where are you taking him?" I asked standing up.

"There are five wraiths behind you, where the other four are I do not know." Strider said as he helped the woman put Frodo atop the horse, who the hell was this lady?

"Hello?" Genevieve said trying to get their attention. They continued to ignore us as they began to talk in a foreign language.

"What are they saying?" Pippin asked as the boys all stood behind us.

"I think she's taking Frodo back to where she lives." Diamond said, making her way next to Pippin.

"She is." I said, for some reason, I just knew what she was saying.

"Ride hard, Arwen. And don't look back." Strider said as he helped her up on the horse. They looked into each others eyes, and for a second I thought they would kiss. But she turned her head and sped off on her horse into the black of the forest.

"Are you crazy? Those wraiths are still out there!" Sam screamed at Strider. I clenched my teeth and shut my eyes, he was right, they were chasing them.

Laura had grown close with Lord Elrond's daughter, Lady Arwen. For the few weeks she had been at Rivendell, she learned archery, some elvish, and much of the history of the elves. She had also taught herself seeral different ways in which she could braid her extremely long, beautiful dark brown hair. Arwen had also been talking about a great evil growing in the west. In a land called Mordor, the great eye, Sauron. Laura made sure she knew about the elves, so she could understand them. One day, Lord Elrond approached them outside as they studied in the gardens.

"Arwen, I have news. It is about Aragorn." he said darkly.

Arwen immediately dropped the book in her hands as she stared at her father. Laura also stopped her work and watched them.

"How fast can you get to Weathertop?" he asked her.

"With the fastest horse, two days at the most." she replied.

"He is traveling with the ring bearer." Elrond said suddenly. Arwen shot from her seat on the bench and gasped.

"Is it happening finally, father?" Laura raised an eyebrow, confused as to what was going on.

"Yes. I'm afraid so." he said with his head down.

"Ring bearer? Whose getting married?" Laura asked.

They both turned to her, and Arwen sighed. "Laura, the evil I have been talking about. It is all growing stronger. Perhaps while I am gone, father will explain it all to you. Goodbye for a few days Laura." Arwen said as she turned her head and her father nodded. They began to walk away and Laura stood up to follow them.

"Wait? Goodbye?" Laura exclaimed as she sped walk to their sides.

"Yes. I must get to them before the wraiths reach them first." she said as they entered the stables. Her father helped her onto a white horse and kissed her forehead.

"May the spirit of the elves be with you." he told her before she sped out of the stables, leaving Laura alone with Elrond.

"What's going on?" she asked turning to him in a worry.

"My child, do not worry. Time will tell. But for now I will tell you, expect a company of eight translate to arrive within the week. I will explain to you then, and perhaps the travelers will to." he said as he walked out of the stables. Laura lowered her head in deep thought, she had a feeling there would be a reuniting of some sort...

For the next five days, she continued her studies on the language, and frequently went out to practice her archery. She could now shoot within the bullseye.

It was a sunny day, and Laura was beginning to wonder where exactly Arwen was. As if on cue, she heard some elves running and shouting.

"Lady Arwen is back! With the ring bearer! Make way!" Laura stood up and ran to where all the commotion was happening. Arwen came through with her horse, and what looked like a

small child riding with her. Arwen grabbed the person and jumped off the horse with them. Laura ran to catch up with her as Arwen rushed to her father.

"Arwen! Who is that?" she asked as they ran.

"The ring bearer." was all she said, and ignored her until they found Elrond. He took the small person in his arms and examined him, with great fear. Now Laura could see this person, he looked fairly older than a child, and he was deathly green and had a white scar on his left shoulder. His eyes were beginning to turn a pale gray and he often groan and shrieked. Laura stepped back in fear, she suddenly felt as if everything had gone dark and evil.

"Who... what, is that?" she asked as she closed her eyes, pointing at the man.

"We must tend to him, get a rom ready! Quick!" Elrond instructed the elves around him. Arwen stayed as everyone else rushed off with Lord Elrond.

"That, is the ring bearer. Frodo Baggins." she said as she approached Laura.

"How old is that child!" she squealed as Arwen grabbed her shoulders.

"He is a hobbit, very small creatures they are. He is at least in his thirties. There were three more hobbit males with him, and three hobbit females." Arwen said as she tried to comfort Laura.

Suddenly, Laura knew who these girls were. They were her friends. She began to tremble and she rested her head on Arwen's shoulder.

"They're here. My friends are okay!" she sobbed with happiness.

"Laura, you must understand something. They are in grave danger. For they are on a quest to destroy the one ring forged by Sauron, the evil I have told you about. Do not expect them to return without injuries or any harm." Arwen said as she pulled Laura away to look her in the eyes. Laura was smiling, and nodded her head.

Six days past and finally, the rest of the group made it. Laura was in the garden with Arwen. Frodo had been cared for by Elrond, and was sleeping, as he had been for the past few days since he arrived. Also, an old wizard named Gandalf arrived there shortly after Frodo. An elf approached Arwen and Laura as they sat studying plants.

"My lady." he said.

"Yes?" Arwen replied.

"They have arrived." was simply all he said. Laura stood and sprinted away from the gardens. She ran to the gates and her sight fell upon six little hobbits. But she also saw her friends. Genevieve, Diamond, and Karolyn! They weren't in the greatest condition, but at least they were alive. She began to cry happy tears, and the hobbit girls turned to her.

"Why is she crying?" Merry whispered in Gen's ear.

"Because, she is our friend!" she replied running with her arms open to Laura. They embraced, and soon Diamond and Karolyn turned around.

"Oh my god..."

"LAURA!"

They both ran to her in a rush and were all soon in a group hug that lasted for awhile. They laughed, cried, and squealed as they all caught up with each other. The boys stood to the side, resting and watching. Aragorn made his way to Arwen, and took her face in his hands. They kissed, for awhile.

"They seem happy." Pippin said to Sam and Merry.

"When you see that a friend is okay, I guess that the effect it has on you." Merry said.

"Mr. Frodo! Is he okay?" Sam said jumping to his feet to Arwen. The girls all stood up and waited for a response.

"Please, is he okay?" Karolyn asked with worry.

Arwen looked them all deep in the eyes, "Your friend is well. He is very strong, physically ad mentally." she said with a smile. Everyone sighed, he was okay.
