When Will This Be Over?

I sat up and saw Bilbo sleeping. Everyone was inside of the Mountain and were taking a nap. I laid back down and sighed.

"When will this be over?" I complained aloud. But it was quiet enough that Bilbo and the dwarves didn't wake up. I waited for something to happen. Then I got an idea but I felt bad for Bilbo. But what if I needed this for some important occasion? So I took the advantage.

"What happened?" I groaned loudly. Bilbo quickly sat up and came to my side. The dwarves stayed sleeping.

"Are you okay?" he yawned. I wanted to have a little fun with him.

"Were you sleeping, Bilbo?!" I asked surprisingly.

"No! Of course not! I was just resting with... my eyes closed. Okay, you caught me! But are you okay?" Bilbo asked.

"Yes, I am. But I'm going to need your help," I explained.

"What is it?! Name it and I'll be happy to help," he offered.

"I need you to keep talking to me," I explained.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Keep talking to me no matter what! And make sure I'm answering you!" I said quickly. A ray of light appeared and was growing brighter.

"Okay, I will! But I don't understand! Why do you want me to do this?!" he asked faintly. I was already gone. But when I opened my eyes, everything looked different.

"What happened?" I thought.

"What do you mean? I haven't said anything yet!" I heard Bilbo say. I looked to my left and saw that I was back in Dol Guldur.

"How am I here? But I'm talking to Bilbo?" I thought.

"Fawnabelle, what are you talking about?! You haven't left the Lonely Mountain! What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"Gandalf! Where are you?" I said aloud.

"I'm right here, Fawnabelle," he said. I turned around and ran to hug him. He hugged me.

"Fawnabelle?! Can you hear me?" Bilbo said.

"Yes, I can hear you. Ask me questions constantly," I thought.

"Where is everyone else, Gandalf? Did they leave? What happened with those nine wraiths?" I asked. Meanwhile, I was answering Bilbo's questions in my head.

"Yes, the others left. They are all well. Wraiths? What are those? Oh! You mean those nine beings, don't you? Well, we fought them off. They're gone now. How are you feeling?" Gandalf asked.

"I'm talking to Bilbo right now. I figured out that if I think in my mind, I can talk to the person at the other destination. So when I went back to the Lonely Mountain I asked Bilbo to continuously ask me questions and when I think of the answers, he hears them. But it's a little difficult so that's why I have to speak and think slower than I usually would," I explained.

"Remarkable! I'm glad you're getting used to it. We'll figure this out together. I'm so relieved I won't have to wait to ask you questions until you come back," Gandalf sighed.

"Me too. It was frustrating me so much. I'm glad I found a way. I'll let you know when I'm beginning to transfer again. But I'm not sure if I can walk in both locations. Let me try," I explained.

"Bilbo? Can you help me up please?" I thought.

"Am I allowed to?" he asked.

"Yes," I laughed mentally. I thought of standing up.

"Tell me if I'm going to crash into a wall, okay?" I asked Bilbo.

"Okay," he agreed. I thought of walking to my left slowly.

"You're getting close to a wall," he said. I thought of turning around and stopped.

"Gandalf, can we walk around for a little bit? I want to see if I can multi-task," I asked.

"Of course," he agreed. We started walking to the exit of Dol Guldur.

"Can you assist me down the slope, Bilbo?" I thought.

"Um, sure," Bilbo said uncomfortably. He held his arm out and I thought of putting my arm through his. Bilbo adjusted it.

"I'm doing it!" I said and thought excitedly. Gandalf smiled at me and Bilbo didn't reply. It felt good to be partially normal again.

It's HIM

The light faded away. But I was still in Dol Guldur. We were all still there. Gandalf came to me.

"Did you see that?" I asked.

"Yes, we all did. But it wasn't the same ones you had," he answered. I heard a voice. It was mumbling something horrible. My ears started to burn. 

"Didn't I already go through this?" I thought. I covered my ears and groaned; the pain was more intense. I covered my ears with my hands. Suddenly, my hands felt pierced. I screamed in pain and closed my eyes. It was so real. It was ten times more painful than before. I looked up and saw something. It was floating!

"What is that?!" I asked in terror.

"It's him," Galadriel answered. He waved his hand and nine beings came out of nowhere. I pulled out an arrow and got ready to shoot. But Galadriel pushed my bow down gently.

"Only specific swords can pierce them. Try not to get killed, my dear hobbit. We're going to need you," she said calmly. I put my arrow back in my quiver and stepped back. I watched them fight the nine off when I realized something.

"The nine are... THE NINE! Nine men doomed to die! That's why ordinary arrows can't do anything. I understand now! But if they're the nine, that means they have... Morgul blades! Okay, I can't get myself stabbed or I'll end up like Frodo. I wish I could help them with something. I wish they had super powers!" I thought. I looked to them and kept wishing. I saw them glow! Really, I did! All five of them: Elrond, Galadriel, Saruman, Gandalf, and Radagast!

"HOW DID I DO THAT?! WHAT KIND OF HERB DID GANDALF GIVE ME?" I thought. The Nine suddenly disappeared. Another light flashed and I was on my back on the floor.
