The Secret Life of Frodo Baggins

Chapter 3: An escort named Kaylenna

A/N: I don’t know exactly the mathematical ways of middle earth so please bear with me!

When morning arose across the horizon, Sam was awoken at a knock at the door, precisely as the sun was just beginning to rise.

Tiredly he rose out of his bed and mumbled "half a minute" and he slowly walked to the door.

Opening the door he heard a voice say to him "Hello! Mr. Samwise I presume? I am Kaylenna, and I shall be your escort to Mirkwood."



Sam eyed the girl in front of him, she was about 4"11-5 feet tall. She had crisp brown hair and greenish brown eyes. But to Sam she just looked like a young child, maybe a teen, of the people of Gondor.



Thinking this Sam eyed her one more time before replying" Your a bit young aren't you?"

Giggling she replied "Well sir I shall take that as a compliment!"

Sam, giving her a puzzled look then said, "You are a child are you not? Then again, my eyes are not fully awake."

Smiling she patted him on the head and said to him "In elven years I would still be considered a child."



"You're an ELF?!? But your too short to be an elf!" asked Sam astonished. Then clearing his throat, "I mean aren't elves taller?"

"Yes they are, but I'm not EXACTLY an elf. I am only 3/6 elf." answered Kaylenna.

"What about the other 3/6?" asked Sam.

Smiling she answered," well 2/6 Hobbit of course, and 1/6 human!"

"Well, how old are you? If you don’t mind me asking of course."

"I don’t mind at all let's see I'm, 626, I believe, I don’t keep track too much anymore."

"626? Sweet Eru I thought you were a child of Gondor of at least 16! But 626? That's amazing!"



Well thank you sir," she said with a smile "but begging your pardon, shouldn't we be off to get the other two, um…Meridoc, and Peregrin. Am I right? Is that their names?"

"Yes your right we should be off. But by the way," the other two" mostly prefer to be called Merry and Pippin," answered Sam.

Sam then invited her in, so he could get ready to leave, and to be hospitable. She gladly accepted, and as she entered the house she exclaimed, " What an intresting house, it's so…how to put it…? Um…. Homely? No that’s not it, um...I know! It is, in a sense, peaceful! Did that make any sense at all? I'm sorry I'm not good with words!"

With a smile Sam repied, "It made perfect sense!"

"You better hurry up! We need to leave as soon as possible! " called Kaylenna, as Sam went to his bedroom the rouse Rosie.
