My Dear Sweet Angel (Lord of the Rings rp)

[FaPingMulan]

"Frodo, where are Sam and Angel?" Aragorn asked first after following Merry and Pippin down the snowy hill squinting his eyes from the blinding and freezing snow whipping at his face.

Legolas, being the easiest one to handle snow in the group, had followed Aragorn and looked on ahead. "I see them!" He called to the former ranger companion. He had to speak loudly to be heard above the howling wind, much like Aragorn.

Without waiting for Aragorn, the elf made his way down to Angel who sat with an unconscious Sam much further down from them.

"Merry, Pippin, help Frodo to the others. Legolas and I will come back with Sam and Angel." He spoke to the two hobbits before making his way down after Legolas at a slightly slower pace due to not being as graceful as his elven companion.

Emily and Gimli had come down to join the hobbits helping them make their way up to the where Gandalf waited for them so they wouldn't slip as well before following Gandalf to shelter in a cave to get out of the wind and wait for Aragorn, Legolas, Angel, and Sam.

It was several moments before Legolas and Aragorn joined Angel and Sam. "Are you alright?" Aragorn asked Angel as he and Legolas ran up to the two of them. He spoke loudly to be heard over the wind as Legolas covered Sam up with his cloak and picked him up to carry him letting Aragorn carry Angel knowing if it were the other way around Frodo may have had another jealous fit.

Once again it took several moments for them to join the others as they had to travel more cautiously so not to slip or drop Angel or Sam as they made their way back up with Legolas leading the way and Aragorn following behind.

Aragorn watched slightly concerned as he noticed Legolas was only half walking on top of the snow often sinking down into the snow as he walked and he wondered if it was because of the extra weight of Sam causing him to do so or if there was something wrong with the elf.

He didn't question it however as they made their way into the cave with the others where Legolas gently set Sam down in front of a fire Gandalf and the others had made inside the cave for warmth.

Following Legolas in, Aragorn gently set Angel down as well in front of the fire with Sam before sitting down beside Gandalf. He shot Legolas a look who gave him a small glare before he sat down next to Gimli.

[True Love's Kiss]

"They fell! Down there!" Frodo answers, trying to point to where they had slipped off to at the bottom but it was hard to see with the freezing ice wind blowing in their faces. Once the elf and man were gone, Frodo was joined by with his cousins Merry and Pippin and then later rejoined the rest who had now been inside of a cave to be keeping shelter from the cold. He grew very worried and hope for the best they make it back with Angel and Sam safe and sound.

Angel awaited, hoping somehow help would come. She finally got it when Aragorn and Legolas arrived to save her and Sam. "I'm fine!" She quickly responded to Aragorn after being ask if she was okay. Soon as they were being carried, Angel pulled down on her cloak and lower her head down to block out any icy wind getting into her face.

After waiting and waiting, Frodo was relived they had return and left them by the fire to get warm. But rather checking up to see how Angel was, Frodo hurried over to Sam's side who was still unconscious. "Sam!!" He exclaimed. He try to shake him to get him to wake up, but he wasn't working. So he try giving him the Heimlich by pressing down his hands on Sam's chest to get him to breathe. "It's no use! I've try to wake him up, but he won't..." Angel try reassuring to Frodo, but it was just as the hobbit might of fear. The heavy illness and the dropping of his death; it all came to term that Frodo may have lost his dear friend for good!

"No....NO NO NO!!! SAM....Ohh Sam!" Frodo buried his face in his hands as he sobbed for his poor loss. Angel bowed her head down to pay her respect. She bit down on her lower lip, changing from sadness to total emotional anger. "RAAAGH!!" She slams her first against the wall, pounding a hole in it, with small drops of crumbling rocks falling off it. She grief in a deep sigh, lowering her arm down. But with her fist still squeezing tightly, her thumb begin to rubbed and that was when she felt a sudden electrical spark. "Huh?" She look down at her metal hand, letting go of her fist.

Angel snapped her finger to give it a test and saw another sparky electrical brief flash of light. Again, she try out another test by rubbing her fingers and it cause it again. "How is this possible?" She asks herself. Looking outside, the halfing princess couldn't help but wonder; perhaps the weather outside could be the cause of it? But rather than questioning that, perhaps this new use of power could be helpful enough to save Sam's life.

"I got an idea!" Angel tells Frodo, moves him away from Sam's body and takes her glove. "Okay..." She try relaxing by taking a deep breath. "This may hurt a bit!" Rubbing her hands together, Angel created enough electricity and pierces her newfound power down on Sam's body, giving him a major jolt. The zap was just enough that rescue Sam from bringing him back to life. Sam woke up straight away in a quick snap and rolled over to his side, gagging out some leftover cold water he choked out. He gasped for air, but came to a low groan rubbing his forehead. "Ugh, my head hurts!!" He grumbles.

"SAM!!" Frodo exclaims. Overjoyed, he wrapped his arms around Sam, hugging him tightly. "Oh Sam, I'm so glad your okay! You mustn't scare me like that again!" Sam lightly patted Frodo on his arm. "Yeah...thanks for pulling me out of there Mr. Frodo." He commented, thinking it was Frodo who saved him. But Frodo let go of the hugging. "Sam, it wasn't me. It was Angel! She rescue you!" He confirms to him. Sam couldn't believe what he had just heard. "What?" He glances over to Angel with an unbelievable shocking stare on his face. He try to let that new piece of truthful information sink in, but he was just so overly surprised, he had a hard time picturing it.

"You saved me? Why?" Sam had to asked Angel. "I don't mean to make you offended princess, but you and I haven't been getting along well." He added.
"Maybe so, but everyone here is an important part in this Fellowship; including you!" Angel replies. It didn't faze her at all that he would be taking it so hard to imagine since it was true how Sam had always been disrespectful to her. Still a bit overcome by it, Sam was speechless. "I...I don't know what to tell you."

"You can start by making amends first." Frodo strongly suggested to him. "I do owe her one!" Sam thought about it to himself. It was the least he could do after being saved by the one member he never thought that would happened. Sam nodded. "Yeah....yeah, maybe your right!" He agreed with Frodo. "Thanks!" Sam tells Angel. "Your not bad....you know, for a princess who looks like a hobbit with the magic powers of a wizard."

"Uhh, thank you....I think!" Angel puzzled, unsure if that comment he said to her was a good thing or not. Sam gave her a bit of a small smile, but it didn't stay off for very well on his face when he sneezed. "AH-CHOO!" Sam had been still freezing cold from the fallout. "You wouldn't happened to know how to cure a cold would you?" He shivered.

"Mr. Samwise, I'm not a miracle worker!" She says.
"It didn't hurt to ask!" Sam mentions.

[FaPingMulan]

"Here. This won't completely cure your cold but it will at least help with the sneezing and runny nose." Aragorn spoke handing Sam a water and leaf mixture for him to drink. He had ignored the glare Legolas had given him and had decided to drop the previous conversation they had had before for now but would bring it up when he deemed it necessary.

"Wow you're really full of surprises, Angel." Emily commented about Angel's new found powers with a smile before casting a quick glance with Aragorn she could tell that the way he would watch Legolas from time to time that maybe perhaps she wasn't imagining things and that he had seen it too and given how coldly the elf was currently acting towards his former ranger companion she had guessed Aragorn must've brought it up to him that Legolas seemed to not be like his usual self and Legolas must've taken the comment offensive.

She thought about bringing it up herself but decided perhaps it was best not too as she turned instead to ask Sam. "I'm glad you and Angel are alright."

[True Love's Kiss]

"I had a feeling you'd say that!" Angel commented back to Emily as she put her glove back on, though she sorta half expected Merry or Pippin would of been the ones to say it, but she just shrugged her shoulders.

"Thank you!" Sam thanked Aragorn and took water leaf mixture to drink. He nodded to Emily as he sipped, but Frodo could't help but notice he was holding with just one hand. He look down wondering why his other hand was clenched in a fist til he notice something red; red liquid. "Sam, your hand is bleeding!"

"My what?" Sam nearly spitted, being a little bit taken off by surprise by Frodo's loud reaction, but he took notice of his little injury. "Ohh, that! I must of gotten it from the ice I've fell in! It will be fine, it's just a cut!"

"A cut you can't let get infected." Angel says to him, she ripped off a tear from her sleeve to use on his wound. She try to reach out, but Sam didn't want to let her touch it. "No, you don't have to--" He try hesitating, but Angel grabbed him firmly by his wrist in a tight and pulled the cloth to wipe the blood clean. He watched after she was done, Angel tore off the other last good sleeve of hers and used it to wraps it around his hand. "Ack!" He cried.

"Sorry! I know they can be rough!" She says, then she finish tying it. Sam look at his hand before him, not only had she saved him, but took care of his injured hand too. "Thank you!" He thanked her again, making Angel smiled.

Frodo was finally happy now that the quarreling between Sam and Angel was now finally over, until he was growing very suspicious about the niceness he witness between them. "It's so good to see them finally getting along....maybe too well." He raise a high eyebrow at them, questioning them, trying to study this new behavior. Why now was this just occurring? He prevent himself from gasping, only changing his reaction to a horrifying look. "Would he--NO, NOO! NOT SAM! He wouldn't! He's married to Rosie! He loves his wife...doesn't he? Why am I questioning this when I could be--" Frodo begin thinking, til he realize he had forgotten to keep that thought of his close. "Uh-oh! None of you heard that!" The hobbit try pretending to forget Legolas and Emily wouldn't notice, but it was that loud for them to hear it from his own thoughts, then surely he knew it may cause trouble.

But how could be this distracted when that idea of Sam and Angel together was coming inside of his head? Would Sam sink so low that he would leave his own dearly beloved Rosie for a princess, a strong beautiful magical powerful princess that Frodo had fell in love with at first sight? He try his best not to let his jealously get the best of him, but it was coming in closely as he started watching Angel and Sam bond a bit.

"Your not cold?" Sam asks Angel since she had to get rid of her sleeves to use to fixed up his wounded hand.
"Nope! These arms and hands are made from solid metal!" Angel replies, giving them a good one tap. "Here, give it a try!"
Sam gave her a look and backed off a little bit. "No thank you!" He says.
"Come on, they don't bite!" Angel offered. Sam was a bit unsure if that was a good idea or not, still a bit hesitated, Sam nervously try to reach a finger over to touch her metal arms, but then Frodo got in the way. "NOOO!" He shouted, smacking Angel's arm away from Sam. "HEY!!" She cries, rubbing her metal arm.

Utterly embarrassed Frodo nearly made a scene, he try to cover it up. "Sam needs rest!!" He quickly replies fast, taking her by the shoulders, turning her around and pushing her away from Sam. He didn't see the glaring Angel given him, but she rolled her eyes, but wasn't going to start a fight so she left them alone. "What's gotten into you, Mr. Frodo?" Sam had gotten annoyed with Frodo's attitude. He didn't take notice that Frodo may of been acting envy again.

[FaPingMulan]

"Frodo's right, Samwise must get some rest, and we would do well to do the same since we will be here for at least the rest of the day and night thanks to this weather." Gandalf finally spoke up from where he sat beside Aragorn in front of the small fire that they all sat in a circle around.

"I'll keep watch." Legolas offered.

"No, I will, get some rest Legolas. You took the watch last time, I'm sure you could do with the sleep." Aragorn spoke.

"No, I'm fine." Legolas replied stubbornly and without another word got up from where he sat beside Gimli and sat closer to the entrance of the cave to keep an eye out for anything outside the cave.

"What's up between you two? I haven't seen you two so tense around one another since your argument before the battle at Helms Deep." Gimli commented to Aragorn.

"It's nothing." Aragorn spoke before adding to Legolas "Wake me if you get tired and I'll take over the rest of the watch."

If the elf, who had his back to them, had heard Aragorn he made no acknowledgement of it. "That was not a request, Legolas." Aragorn added this time much more sternly.

"Mhm." Was all Legolas replied still not bothering to face them.

"Now that that's settled, let's get some sleep. Hopefully the storm will be over by morning." Gandalf spoke again.

[True Love's Kiss]

"Is it just my imagination or did Frodo's envy returned?" Angel asks Emily who couldn't appear to be watching that brief out bursting scene between Sam and Frodo.

"I'm not going to sleep til you tell me why your making another scene again!" Sam replies to Frodo stubbornly. "NO! FORGET IT!" Frodo refused angrily.

"This have something to do with Princess Angel again does it?" Sam asks, knowing too well that every time Frodo made a scene, it always had something to do with the half hobbit/half wizard female. "NO, AND I COMMAND YOU GET THOSE IDEAS OUT OF YOUR HEAD, SAMWISE GAMGEE! YOUR A MARRIED HOBBIT!!" He ordered.

"What are you--" Sam stopped in the middle of the question, realizing what Frodo had just told him to do. He had never given him serious orders before. But he finally got the idea what made him act up so harshly. "Did you thought I'd--we'd--" He blabbers, trying to get the question out of his mouth, but he couldn't. He was overly offended. "You've.....you've..."

"Go on, say it!" Frodo tells him, wanting to hear what he had to say. "FRODO BAGGINS, YOU ARE A SELFISH JERK!" Sam outburst. "Why in the world would you believe I'd cheat on Rosie? I would never! And don't take it the wrong personal way, but the princess isn't my type!"

Hearing that loud shout-out coming from Sam, Angel couldn't help but make a disgusted reaction over from it. "Eww, me and Sam?" She thought to herself.

[FaPingMulan]

"It would certainly seem so." Emily replied though she sounded somewhat distracted as her thoughts were elsewhere though she tried to hide it.

"Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins, that is enough out of you both. Given what you two endured before you both should know better than to not trust the other, especially you Frodo. There is no need for your jealousy and I will hear no more of it. First with Legolas Thranduillion and now your best friend Samwise Gamgee? Who is next? Aragorn? Gimli? Merry? Pippin? Do well to remember we are all friends and companions here and not out here for love quarrels but to set Angel back to her rightful place and free her from her curse before you allow your jealousy to careen anymore out of control." Gandalf scolded them though he mostly kept it on Frodo since Frodo was the main issue not Sam.

[True Love's Kiss]

"And how will we know if they are the next victim?" Frodo asks Gandalf, being very serious about it. He could only hope that Aragorn wouldn't be next, that would be much worse. And mostly it would be even more worst if Pippin or Merry would sink that low too.

"Listen to yourself, do you hear yourself think before you speak?" Sam asks, being the next one to scold his own friend.
"I'm not speaking to you!" Frodo commented selfishly. "See? This is what Gandalf is trying to tell you;" Sam cried out. If the wizard wasn't going to get through with him, the best the hobbit could do be the next voice of reason. "You think you know everything; you think your the only one to help her; but how will you keep your promise Mr. Frodo? The promise you SWORE on? Your promise to break Princess Angel from isolation if you can't trust her with us? Not with me, but all of us!! You have to let go of your blinding rage! We can't do it for you!"

Hearing all of those things Sam told him, Frodo realize his final mistakes. The only strongest blinding feeling he had felt more out of it all was jealously. Not only was it hurting the sake of the team, but poor Frodo had forgotten what it was he was going to do in the first place; maybe it was the cause of making Angel distant herself away from him, and not just her magical powers. "Your right Sam. I'm so sorry!"

"I'm not upset with you Mr. Frodo, but I am disappointed you were questioning my marriage. I'm faithful to my wife!" Sam replies.
"I think I own the elf an apology too." Frodo added, for once actually feeling very guilty of himself.

[FaPingMulan]

'Finally!' Emily couldn't help but think to herself with a satisfied smile. It was about time Frodo made an attempt to realize he had issues concerning jealous feelings towards anyone with Angel, except for her herself which she assumed was only merely because she was a woman herself.

"No one here thinks of you as anything but that Sam. Not even Frodo though it may have seemed like it at the time, he did not mean what he said, I'm sure." Aragorn spoke.

"I accept your apology and have not at all taken any offense to it." Legolas spoke to Frodo.

"Good. Now let that be the end of it." Gandalf spoke somewhat satisfied that he, partially, but mostly Sam had finally gotten some sense into Frodo.

When everyone had finally settled down to sleep, Legolas took the moment to go outside. He hated that Aragorn knew him so well sometimes and was sure Gimli probably suspected it too but hadn't yet said. Though the wind viciously whipped at his face, it felt good to the elf at least for the first few moments anyway until he shockingly realized he could feel the cold. But that was impossible right? Elves could not feel burning heat or freezing cold weather, so why could he now?

Not taking the moment to ponder it any further he quickly retreated back to the cave brushing the snow off him that he was now covered in, careful not to wake the others as he resumed his guard position once more.

At some point he realized he must've fallen asleep because he awoke to the feeling of being moved and lifted and placed gently on the ground finding the person who had moved him turned out to be a tired looking Aragorn.

"Get some sleep." Aragorn whispered to him in elvish before going over to where Legolas had previously been sitting.

Legolas yawned noticing Aragorn had placed him beside sleeping Gimli making a face before drifting back off to sleep.

He awoke the next morning to the sound of laughter sleepily getting up to see Emily, Aragorn, Gimli, Merry, and Pippin having a snow fight outside in the deep snow as it had clearly stopped snowing leaving the land covered in a deep heavy white blanket.

"Morning sleepy head! Decided to get caught up on some beauty sleep, did you?" Gimli laughed teasingly before letting out a shocked gasp as Aragorn came up behind him dumping a bunch of snow on top of him.

"Arrgh! No one buries a dwarf!" He spoke as he dug himself out of the pile Aragorn had nearly buried him in before he playfully attempted to chase Aragorn through the snow tripping a couple times but not giving up his pursuit.

[True Love's Kiss]

Though Legolas was the last of them to be waken up, and besides him, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam and Angel weren't in part of the little snowball fight. Frodo was helping Sam with his cold. After getting some extra rest, eating some leftover snacks, and getting more rest, Sam's sickness was dropping low little by little, and soon enough may be good to start on the journey once everyone is ready. Frodo was gratefully thankful Sam was almost feeling better, but as he was taking good care for his good friend, he was wondering why Angel was not joining in on the fun with everyone else outside of the cave.

"Frodo, where are you going?" Sam asks as he watch him head on over to the she halfing. "To talk with Angel, not to worry, I won't try anything." Frodo replies. He had to make sure he be careful, when he approached her, he sat down next to the princess. And together they watch everybody in on the fun. "Your not going to play to them?"

"Don't have to, it is nice to see others have fun for a change." Angel answered. Frodo nodded in agreement. "I do hope your not mad at me for last night." He tells her. Angel glances at him with a stare, though she didn't try to look serious, Frodo was getting that bad feeling she might be feeling it. "I've heard every word of it, but it's not your behavior distancing me." She tells him honestly.

"Then what is?" He asks curiously. She looked down at the tore sleeves that were no longer covering the secrets of her metal arms.
"Angel?" Frodo waited for her response, but she seem distracted. "It's nothing!" She lied, getting up. Frodo got up too. "Angel, tell me!" He try not to begged.

"No, Frodo! I do NOT want to talk about it!" She said, trying to control her magical emotions when her back turn on him.
"But why?" He asks.
"It's nothing you should be concern of! You have to put a stop to it" She lied, but Frodo wasn't getting anywhere with her fibs. "No, WHY Angel? Why do you keep on shutting me away from you? Don't you see I want to--"
"I SAID STOP IT!!" Without any colors of emotionals showing this time, Frodo's pleading and begging not only cause her anger to rise, but instead her powers glow in white, the only color being used to battle. When she had command him to end his nosey needs, she turns around and within a flash, a brief of white bright light accidentally shot out from her hands and struck Frodo on the forehead. "AHHH!!" He shouted in pain from the hit and was knocked down.

Angel gasped in horror. What had she done? "FRODO!!" She exclaims. Wanting to reach over to his side to see if he was all right, Angel suddenly felt weak and dizzy. She moaned and flopped down on the ground. "I feel.....I feel drained." She comment weakly, trying to get herself up. Why had this happened? Nothing like this had ever happened before to her. Sam spotted everything and despite that he needed his rest, he approached over to Frodo's side to make sure he was alive. "Frodo?" It was when a sudden purple vein show up above Frodo's left eyebrow.

All of a sudden, he snapped awake like nothing had happened and his eyes glow a yellow light. "Suddenly, I feel full of light!!" Then quickly, his eyes changed to a glowing blue light. Emotional from sadness, he begin crying. Then another color changed, changing from deep black of fear. "Frodo, what's wrong with you?" Sam cried. Though he had no idea, the shooting beam that came from Angel's emotions had now Frodo under possessed and could not get it in control. He could now feel and switch to every single emotional color Angel used to had.

[FaPingMulan]

"what happened?" Gandalf asked them as he rushed over to Frodo, Sam, and Angel's side obviously concerned for Frodo. He had always had a soft spot for Hobbits especially Frodo and Bilbo whom he felt especially close to.

He then immediately noticed the purple vein above Frodo's left eyebrow. "It's your magic. You need to reabsorb it out of him and back into you." Gandalf told her briskly.

The snow fight ended when the others had realized something bad had happened to Frodo and had no choice but stand by helpless to do anything else since giving what Gandalf had said it was clear Angel was the only one who could help the hobbit now.

[True Love's Kiss]

"I...I can't! I don't know how!" Angel says, trying to keep conscious.
"You have to! Your the only one who can!!" Sam says with highly more concerned. If absorbing her magic back into her was the only way, Angel wasn't really much left with a choice. "I will try!" She whispers too. While fighting back on keep herself fully awake, she raised her metal arm up and shut her eyes, trying to keep focus. "You can do it Angel, do it for Frodo!" She reminded to herself inside of her head. Angel try her best keeping in silence in a muffed, but in a horrifying yelping pain, her whole metal arm glow into it's bright white light and the power inside of Frodo's mind shot itself out of him and back into Angel's where it belong, shooting her down on the ground.

The purple vein vanished away and Frodo gasped in a snapping shot of awake. "What happened?" He asks, clearly of not remembering anything what went on with him. "Oh Mr. Frodo, it was terrible! You were possessed by Princess Angel's power again!" Sam tells him.
"What? But she didn't--" Frodo stopped. Could it be possible that she can still in someway, have strong powers still taking over him without even being touched by her metal hands?

With her magic back inside of her, Angel's energy was full again. Picking herself up, she gaze at Frodo with a sad apologetic look. "I'm so sorry." With the filling tears in her eyes, she ran away. But not just from Frodo, from everybody else. "ANGEL!!" Frodo calls, but Angel refused to stop. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She shouted sobbing. Frodo try going in after her, but she was so far from all of them, there was no chance the hobbit would try to catch up even if he could. He stopped in his tracks and dropped down on his knees. "That's it....we lost her!" Frodo spoken sadly. "I lost her.." He thought upset. Had it finally came to be? Did Frodo lost hope?

Without his beloved dearly Angel, Frodo felt like nothing; nothing at all. It was then Frodo felt a little bit of a sting full pinch coming from him. He winched slightly. Knowing far too well what that small dose of pain was, Frodo did remember it well. It was the old pain he had from his last mission; from being the ring bearer he once was. "The ring's old burden has come back me! But how? I thought I was healed!" He thought to himself. Frodo had not felt that heavy set of bitter memories since meeting Angel. That was when the hobbit begin to question himself; could it be that Angel, the very own curse princess herself, could be the key to healing this ungrateful wound? It had seem from that discovery Frodo may of needed Angel now more than ever before.

[FaPingMulan]

"Aragorn, watch over the group, I'll be back." Gandalf spoke before getting up to follow Angel.

"I'm coming with you." Emily spoke starting to follow the tall old wizard.

"No, you will stay here with the rest of the group. I won't be long." Gandalf told her before leaving off in the direction Angel had headed. "Do not beat yourself up, Angel. With magic always comes burdens and trouble, it's envitable. What happened today with Frodo was not good, I'll admit, but I have seen many wizards your age make far worse and much more fatal mistakes. You are still learning to control your curse and your gifts and that will take years before you ever master it but running from your problems won't solve anything." He spoke as he approached Angel and stood beside her, having to look down at her to meet eye contact due to his much larger height.

"It won't be long now til you are home and the real test of your gifts will begin, you would not come so far just to turn and run will you?" He asked her.

[True Love's Kiss]

"I'm going after him!" Frodo spoke to the others, but Sam raced out of the cave and held him back to prevent him from leaving again. "Sam, let me go!!" Frodo glares, trying to struggle out from his tight grips. "No! You heard Gandalf, you need to stay!" Sam raised his voice at him as he try to keep on fighting out for release. But Frodo gave him a rough kick in the gut with his elbow, accidentally causing the chunky hobbit to fall back.

Though Frodo didn't mean to, not by purpose, he wasn't going to have enough time to be sorry and become bad about it. "Gandalf won't get through to Angel alone...I have to go!" He told him, hoping he and the others would understand. "I hope you know what your doing." Sam stated, letting him leave for a change.

Meanwhile, Angel ran further and further, but as a princess wearing on shoes, her feet had difficulty keeping on top from the snow. She kept on tripping and falling and stumbling, til at the last attempt, she nearly sink in. Angel try using whatever strength that she had, using all of her might to get herself out, her buried legs kicked and kicked while she used her hands on the snow and forced herself to pull out of the jam. She finally was free, but at that cost, lost both of her shoes. But there was no time, Angel still needed to escape. She continue fourth, but had grew weary and exhausted from fleeing.

Angel collapsed by dropping down on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She stares at her glove, the last one she had. Frustrated, she removed it and slammed it into the snow, taking out her anger on it, she punches it down with her fist til it was buried deeper and deeper into the snow, thus making her frustration turn into tears. Angel sat down, covering her sadden emotions as she hugged her legs, rubbing herself to keep warmth. She glances up, hearing nothing but soundful silence surrounding her in the outside area. It was quiet, very quiet!

Still wearing the cloak given to her from Frodo, Angel try on covering herself, but then had done nothing but stare at it. The princess had nearly forgotten about this nice warm piece of clothing the hobbit had gave her. Looking at it reminded her so much of him. "Ohh Frodo, if only..." She mutters sadly. When she had gotten the deep sense that somebody found her, quickly Angel got up and turn around fast almost nearly going to use her powers to battle anyone that may came her way, but she stopped herself before it could happened when Gandalf appeared.

"Oh it's just him! Angel thought to herself, being relief it wasn't any dangerous threats coming to get her. "Strange, I'd half expected Emily would be showing up!" But she listened on from what the old wizard had told her, from burdens to trouble, and from fatal mistakes. It was true every now and there was always going to be a new gift, but sometimes it would always be something bad or something good. Angel begun to question herself about the fact where Gandalf mention about the real test of her gifts. She thought she should ask, but she didn't go through with it. It may of been better not to find out about it now. However, running away seem like the only thing that could of solve Angel's own problems because she did not want to see Frodo going through another suffer from her powers ever again.

But rather than giving Gandalf a truthful answer to his question, Angel gave him the cold shoulder. "Send the others home, I'm going to stop my sister on my own!" She told him. But Angel would of had left him if not for Frodo when he finally appeared. "Angel!!" He called from the distance and hurries over to the wizard and half hobbit/half wizard cursed princess. "Ugh! Not him again!!" She groaned frustrated.

"I'm glad I caught up with you Gandalf." Frodo says to the wizard, but before Gandalf could do anything otherwise, the hobbit was going to begin to speak, til his eyes caught a glimpse of the princess' bare feet. Her right foot completely had that entirely hobbit look every hobbit feet did appear to look, but her left foot didn't. It appear looking like normal feet. "Where did your shoes go?" Frodo asked her, completely getting off the subject, but he shook it off. "Never mind, it does not matter! Angel, I'd--"

"FRODO, GET AWAY FROM ME!" Angel threatened him, pointing her metal arms at him to protect herself with her glowing white light shining on her hands to use. If he had taken another closer step to her, her powers would had to be put to use. But Frodo wasn't scared, he just wanted to to try reasoning her again, but carefully the best he can. "But if you can just listen--"

"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Angel distraught, trying to shoot him away. "Don't you see? You'll only make things worse! Please...I don't want to hurt you!" Just hearing upon those words being spoken to him, Frodo felt worried for her. He can see it on Angel's face that she was trying to be avoided so he wouldn't be harmed like he had been before twice. Even her metal arms started to tremble. Frodo took an extra step in front of her, but for once Angel didn't fight back.

"Angel, I know what it's like to have a pain greater to make you feel broken. I've fought my own demons before, through a burden of my own! You and I are not so different!" He try reaching out his own hand to touch hers, but luckily the white light faded off and she lower her arms down, but Angel did not get away from him. She saw he was telling the truth when he notice his left hand was missing a chuck of his index finger. "Is that how you lost your finger?" She asks. It was barely the first time she had just taken notice of it. Angel almost try herself to actually reach out to his hand this time, but didn't go through it.

"Yes!" Frodo softly answers sadly with a small nod. Though he didn't really tell her it was Gollum who bit off his finger, but it was part of his life lesson that time had no bounds to heal all wounds. It had appear to Angel that she may had more in common with Frodo than she had imagined there be. "I can help you Angel, but you must try to open up! I know you can learn to control it!" He added as he got closer to her.

"How? Give me one good reason why I should listen to you!" Angel asks him, seeing how there may not be any hope.
"Because I believe in you; I have faith in you!" Frodo replies and with that, for the first time ever, began to give her his very own hug for her. Taken a bit over by surprised, his kindful embrace made her emotions turn happy and that power of it cause her metal hands to glow yellow. Angel had nearly would had gone and return the hug, but she hesitated as she knew her glowing light was still there and knowing how strong they are, she cannot touch him. But Angel thought about what he said; perhaps it was faith that she really needed.

"Come on, Angel! You must!!" Her thoughts try to convincing her. She shut her eyes tightly and finally wraps her arms around Frodo, giving that wonderful hug back at him. Angel opened one eye to take a peek and opens both of them and to her amazement, the glowing light was gone. "I did it! I cannot believe it work!" She thought, smiling in relief. With no effects on Frodo, Angel had learned to keep her magic into control and it was all thanks to Frodo believing in her and not quitting on her either.

"Everything is going to be fine, you'll see! I won't quit on you; not now, not ever!" Frodo reassure to her.

"Neither will the rest of us. It's true I could send them all home but if they are anything like Frodo, they won't listen. Frodo, may have promised to help you readjust to a life outside of isolation but I can help you to control your gifts, if you are willing to learn." Gandalf spoke. He hadnt told anyone but Elrond and Aragorn but since Aragorn had been crowned king and married Arwen and the great war with the one ring finally ended, he had begun the long and tiresome work of restoring a new wizards council. So far it consisted of himself and two other promising wizards: A man by the name of Kierian and another by the name of Balinor. Kierian also had a son who with training and hard work may one day be a great wizard as well.

Gandalf was sure Angel would have no intention of joining the wizard's council he was working to form but he believed it would be in Angel's best interests to learn to control her gifts and use them at will rather than risk using them randomly.

"For now, we'd best head back and get you some shoes before you get frost bite." Gandalf spoke leading the way back to the camp having Frodo and Angel walk in front of him so he could make sure they did not fall behind or get sidetracked.

OOC: Little tidbit, Kierian's son will no longer be mentioned after this post as he would be important until not the next generation but the one after that if we ever did that lol. Balinor will no longer be mentioned as well until the next generation as that is when he will become important =3

BIC: Legolas was the first to spot the return of Gandalf, Angel, and Frodo. He jogged over to meet them along with Aragorn. Gandalf frowned when he noticed the elf no longer walked ontop of the snow but through it like the rest of them but he did not bring it up. "Another snow storm is coming, Mithandril." Legolas spoke.

"Yes I worried about it as much. I trust you have packed some provisions inside the cave?" Gandalf spoke to them.

Aragorn nodded. "Yes we gathered more food and other provisions while waiting for you three." He replied.

"Good. Let's go inside." Gandalf spoke letting the four of them walk in front of him once again. This time he took a moment to watch Legolas, once more the elf walked through the snow instead of ontop of it. Given the fact that the hobbits knew little about elves, he knew they would not be concerned but for someone like he and Aragorn who had grown up very close to elves, the fact of it was a bit concerning.

Once inside the cave, Emily noticed Angel was no longer wearing shoes, "What happened to your shoes?" She asked surprised.
