Andrea was awake and dressed ready for the council. She had arrived good and early sitting in a chair that had been placed next to Elrond's for her. She had brought her book so she could read till the others arrived. Turning a page she looked up on hearing foot steps approaching. Putting her book down she stood up from her chair waiting. Elrond was the first ahead of the rest. Behind him was Aragorn then Boromir, some Dwarves and then Legolas with the rest of the Elves. Elrond placed a kiss on her head before sitting down. Andrea bowed her head towards him and then the others. After every one was seated the last people to arrive were Gandalf and Frodo. After they were seated Elrond started. '' Strangers from distant lands friends of old you have been summand here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle earth stands on the brink of destruction , none can escape it....you will unite or you will fall. Each race is bond to this fate this one doom , Bring forth the ring...Frodo.'' Elrond said. Andrea watched as the Hobbit got out of his chair and slowly put the ring in the middle were a small stone table was. Then he sat back in his chair. '' So it is true..''  Andrea heard Boromir whisper. She sensed a darkness from the ring making her sit further back in her chair. Everyone was staring at the ring till Boromir slowly stood up from his spot. '' In a dream...I saw the eastern sky grow dark..'' He said slowly walking towards the ring. '' But in the west a pale light lingered, voices crying The doom is near at hand.. isildurs bane is found..'' He said reaching his hand out slightly. '' Isildurs ban..'' Andrea saw as her father stand up from his chair only to then see Gandalf shoot out of his chair yelling in black speech making her cover her ears slightly. Boromir stumbled back slightly before sitting back in his chair. '' Never before has any voice utter the word of that tongue here.'' Andrea uncovered her ears letting out a small sigh. '' I do not ask your pardon..'' Gandalf started. '' Master Elrond for the black speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the west..'' Elrond sat back down his one hand on his forehead. '' Ada?'' Andrea whispered only to have her father give a quick reassuring smile. '' The ring is all together evil.'' Gandalf finished.   '' It is a gift.''   Boromir started again making Andrea look at him as if he were a mad man. '' A gift sent from the foes of Mordor...why not use this ring?!'' He said standing up. '' For years my father the steward of Gondor has kept your enemy's at bay..... by the blood of our people are your lands kept safe...give Gondor the weapon of the enemy let us use it against him.!''    '' You can not weald it!'' Aragorn says making Andrea look towards him.  '' None of us can...the one ring answers to Sauron alone...it has no other master.'' Boromir turned to Aragorn scoffing. '' And what would a Ranger know of this matter?''     '' This is no mere Ranger!'' Legolas said jumping up. '' He is Aragorn son of Arathorn.. You owe him your allegiance.''  Boromir looked back over to Aragorn. '' Aragorn....this is isildurs heir.''     '' And heir to the throne of Gondor.'' Legolas added. '' Sit down Legolas.'' Aragorn said in Elvish making Legolas sit. Boromir looked over to Legolas. '' Gondor has no king..'' He then looked over to Aragorn. '' Gondor needs no king.'' He finished sitting down again. Andrea was boiling with rage by now, she did not like any of what Boromir had spoken and how dare he insult Aragorn who was like a brother to her. -Time skip- Every one was standing up from their chairs yelling at each other. Andrea was watching the scene play out a little annoyed that most of them were acting like children. Andrea looked over to Frodo to see him staring at the ring. and reached over and put her hand on his shoulder making him look at her as she gave him a small smile. Frodo then stood up slowly and walked forward. '' I will take it!'' He yelled. Andrea was shocked her jaw dropped slightly. '' I will take! I will the ring to Mordor.'' He said once everyone was facing him. '' Although..'' He said looking around a little helpless. '' I do not know the way.''      '' I will help you bear this burden Frodo Baggins for as long as it is your to bear.''    Gandalf said standing next to Frodo. Aragorn stood up. '' On my life or death I can protect you I will..''  He says kneeling down to Frodo. '' You have my sword.''  Andrea smiled and felt a rush of excitement run through her blood. Something was telling her to go with them to leave...but why? '' And you have my bow.'' Legolas said stepping toner to them. '' And my Axe!'' Gimli said raising his axe and walking over to a very annoyed Legolas. '' Go with the Halfling... protect him Andrea, leave Rivendale..'' A voice said to her. Andrea looked around but found no owner to the voice only the members of the Council were there. '' Why?'' Andrea thought. '' Time will give you the answer...but for now you must join them...'' Boromir walked over to Frodo. ''You carry the fate of us all little one....if this is indeed the will of the council then Gondor will see it done.'' '' Go join now.'' Said the voice. Andrea couldn't for the first time in her life she was really scared. She couldn't do this what would her father say and the others would mock her. Andrea stayed glued to her seat confusion and worry was swirling in her eyes gaining the attention of her father for a second. '' Here!'' Yelled a voice behind a bush. '' Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me.'' This cot Andreas attention. '' No indeed it is hardly able to separate you even when he has been summand to a secret council and you are not.'' He said amused. '' Oi! We,r coming too!'' Merry and Pippin yelled running over to Sam and Frodo. '' You will have to send us home tied in a sack to stop us.'' Merry said smiling to Frodo only to have same roll his eyes. '' Any way you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission.........quest......thing.'' Pippin said.  '' well that rules you out Pip.'' Merry said earning a confused look from Pippin. '' Nine companions so be it...you shall be the Fellowship of the ring. '' '' Right were we going?'' Pippin asked earning several chuckles from the group. As everyone was leaving Elrond whispered something to Gandalf who looked at Andrea and nodded back to Elrond. Andrea stood up from her chair realizing she had been clutching the chair for so long making he knuckles white. As she was about to leave Elrond walked over to her. '' Andrea a word please.'' He said walking to his study Andrea following her eyes glued to the ground. Gandalf followed and shut the door behind them. '' What troubles you my child?'' Elrond asked standing in front of his daughter who's eyes were still glued to the floor. Elrond looked down at his daughter worried. '' Andrea?'' He asked a little bit of concern in his voice. Gandalf sat down in a chair watching. '' Its nothing Ada.'' Andrea said looking off to the side.  '' Andrea I know something is bothering you my child now tell me.''  Elrond commanded gently. Andrea looked into her fathers eyes not knowing if she should tell him or not. '' During the council...'' Andrea started. '' I heard a voice in my head telling me...'' Elrond and Gandalf listened closely. '' To go with Frodo and protect him.'' Andrea said looking straight into her fathers eyes. Her eyes showed the need for an answer. Elrond looked disturbed. '' And did this voice give any  rezone why?'' Andrea shook her head. '' it  said time will give me the answer.'' Elrond looked over to Gandalf who looked just as puzzled as he. '' Ada?'' Andrea said as her father began to pace the floor in thought. '' What does it mean?'' Elrond looked at Gandalf and then to Andrea giving his honest answer. '' I do not know  my child.''   Gandalf stood up and walked over to Andrea looking in her eyes as he put a hand on her shoulder. '' Can you fight Andrea?'' He asked. Andrea was confused but answered. '' Yes.''    '' What do you mean Gandalf.''  Elrond asked looking over to Gandalf already knowing the answer.   '' Simple she must go pack, she will be joining us.The fellowship.'' Andrea looked shocked as she looked from her father to Gandalf. Elrond was glaring with rage at Gandalf who had a unmoving gaze on Elrond his hand still on Andrea shoulder. '' I cannot allow this.'' Elrond said.  '' It is far to dangerous, yes she is one the most skilled elves in Rivendale but that does not change the fact that she might never return.''    '' Which is why I will watch over her...Aragorn will as well ,..you have my word Elrond.''  Gandalf said.  Andrea new this would not end well. Both of these men were stubborn and strong. '' Andrea leave us.'' Elrond said. ' ' Yes Ada.''  She said bowing her head and leaving them closing the door behind her. Andrea watched her feet as she went down the hallway deep In thought. '' What should I do?'' She mumbled before bumping into someone's back. '' Sorry!'' She said looking up to see Aragorn who smiled at her before seeing her puzzled and worried face. '' Prestad?'' He asked. ( Is there trouble? ) Andrea only hugged him. He hugged her back before looking at her into her eyes. '' What is it Mellon? '' After Andrea told him the whole story Aragorn looked at Andrea and smiled. '' All will end well Andrea you will see, your father is wise he will make the right choice.''  Andrea slowly nodded her head. '' I am sorry for troubling you with this.'' She said looking away feeling guilty. '' Any time Mellon.'' Aragon said hugging her which she returned.  '' Thank you.'' She said smiling up at him. '' Now go you have to pack and then see my sister.''  Andrea said smirking. '' You read my mind.''  He said smiling before bowing and leaving. Andrea sighed before sitting down on a nearby bench. later that day when Andrea was sitting in her room brushing her long hair,  she heard a small nock on her door.  '' Come in.''  She said putting her brush down looking towards the door. Elrond walked inside and shut the door behind him. '' Ada.'' Andrea said bowing her head. Elrond walked over to her. '' Come sit my child.''  he said taking her hand and sitting down on her bed , Andrea sat   facing him.  '' My child..''  He started looking into his daughters eyes. Andrea looked at him waiting.  '' I have decided you will choose your fate.''  Andreas eyes went a little wide.  '' It is your decision if you will go with the Fellowship or not....now what is your answer?''  Andrea felt herself torn in half. It was going to be hard. She loved her home her Father ,her sister  yet she also loved to travel and see new places. She wanted to go but she was afraid to hurt her father.  '' Ada I love you and Arwen so much as well as our home....but I have longed to go on a journey such as this one that has been put before us.''  Elrond listened surprising Andrea so she continued. '' I wish to go with the ring barer and help him with his burden...I wish to go representing Rivendale.'' She finished looking at the floor. Elrond let out a sigh taking his daughters other hand. '' Very well...you my do as your heart tells you is best, I approve and will tell the others.'' He said standing up and walking to the door. '' Ada.''    Elrond turned around only to be tightly embraced by his daughter. Elrond returned it before leaving. Andrea started to pack.  '' Thank you Gandalf.''  She said to herself. When she was finished she walked up to Arwen's door. Taking a deep breath she nocked on the door. '' Come in.''  Came her Arwen's voice. Andrea shut the door behind her as she walked up to her sister who was sitting in front of her mirror. '' Andrea what brings you here?''  She asked smiling.  '' I am leaving with the fellowship Arwen.''  Andrea said looking at Arwen waiting for her reaction. Arwen had a look of disbelief until she saw the excitement and sadness in Andreas eyes. Arwen stood up and Hugged Andrea tightly. '' Am man?! '' Arwen said tears filling her eyes. ( Why?! ) Andrea told the hole story to her sister. Arwen was in tears as Andrea hugged her older sister. '' Arwen I will return don't worry.'' Andrea said rubbing her sisters back. Arwen pulled away from her sisters arms wiping away her tears. '' Gwestog?'' (Do you promise ) Arwen asked. Andrea nodded. '' I promise.'' Arwen smiled and hugged her one last time. '' Well you better go get some sleep.'' Andrea nodded. '' Until tomorrow.'' Andrea said shutting the door behind her. Andrea got into her nightgown and lay down in her bed pulling the covers over her head. She was excited yet a little worried and afraid at what the others thought about a She-Elf joining them. Finely she fell into a deep sleep.                                                                                        A/N  : Sorry if there are spelling mistakes.
