Rosie and Master ,as she was now supposed to call him, made thier way back to the Took house hold together. The ranger had reluctently agreed to Rosie being a ranger after he had made sure that she knew the dangers and hard times she would have to face. Rosie knew that her father would object to her leaving and so they would have to sneek her out.
As they went inside none of the Took family knew a thing about what had just happened. Supper was allready on the table and they were all very hungry. And even going to bed no one could have guessed that Rosie was planning escape.
Just before sunrise, Rosie woke and tiptoed into her brothers room. She pulled on some of his clothes. Then she filled a pack with food, blankets, and tools. Finally she crept into her parents room and kissed them goodbye without causeing them to wake. On the way out the door she grabed one of her father's swords.
Master was right where he said he'd be. When she ran up to him he gave her the first smile she had seen him wear yet.
The sun was just visible on the horizon when they started out.
