Frodo-lad was awoken by the sound screams. Those of a baby, and one inside the house near him at that. Suddenly, he jerked upright, realizing just who that baby was: one of Miss Pio's children!

Dashing over to the window, he peered in cautiously; not wanting to disturb Gilly. What he saw, however, certainly did not involve Gilly attempting to comfort one of the babys. Two Big-Folk were inside, one of whom had thrown Gilly against the wall. Through snatches of the conversation, Frodo-lad could tell that the babes were being kidnapped, and Gilly too. A sense of pure helplessness grasped him, a feeling of great defeat; of being to small to protect the twins and Gilly. Before he realized what had happened, the men were gone, along with Gilly and her precious charge.

The young hobbit stood still for a moment, completely stunned by the events that had just occured. Shaking himself back into reality, Frodo-lad decided that his best course of action was to head to Bag-End for help. He started at a flat run, but soon tired and slowed to a quick walk. Frodo-lad knew one thing for sure; he had to get there in time!
