Stay Strong For Me

*Sera's POV*

*The Heart Worships is the song that Sera will sing to Frodo to calm him down. I'd recommend listening to it!*

***PS: Although this song doesn't sound like a lullaby, I like the calming melodies that it comes along with, along with Hayley Westenra's (the singer singing this song) hauntingly-beautiful voice.***

I had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen tonight. I was very concerned about Athena. And, not to mention, I was down-right terrified for Frodo. I mean, this is a dangerous quest! I didn't want to see him get hurt. More importantly, I didn't want him to die. He was too pure and too innocent for this world!

I didn't realize that someone sat next to me until I felt their hand on my shoulder. I jumped slightly before realizing that it was just Frodo. I relaxed into his touch, smiling slightly.

"Are you okay, Sera?" he asked in a quiet voice.

"Yeah. No. I mean —" 

I blushed, hard.

"I can tell that you're not okay, Sera. Would you like to talk to me about what's bothering you? Maybe I can help you get stuff off your mind."

I stared out into the vast valleys that dipped beneath us. I tried to ignore my sweating, shaking hands. Finally, I took a deep breath.

"I'm scared for you, Frodo. I mean, this is dangerous! I'd get worried sick if you got hurt."

I glanced sideways and saw that he was staring at me. He gave me a slight smile before slipping his hand in mine. An instant warmth spread through my body. My stomach jolted with excitement. 

  "I'll be alright," he reassured me. His voice gave me chills, but in the best way. I allowed my body to relax. "You don't need to worry about me, Sera." 

  Although I wasn't entirely convinced, I forced myself to nod in reply. I would always worry about him. I mean, this is just the beginning, right? 

  "Alright," I finally agreed. I stifled a yawn. "I'm getting a little tired. Are you?" 

  Frodo nodded, his eyes still on mine. I smiled softly before sitting down against the nearest wall. Frodo joined me at my side not a few seconds later. He hesitantly rested his head on my shoulder and his body curled against mine, He sighed softly. I made sure to keep a protective hold around his waist. Nothing can hurt him while I'm at his side. I eventually felt Frodo nodding off to sleep. I soon followed suit. But my peaceful slumber was soon interrupted by Frodos' frantic voice. 

"What are you doing?!"

I jumped at the sound of his frantic voice and hurried to where he was. My eyes widened when I saw that everyone else was making food.

"Tomatoes, sausages, and nice, crispy bacon," Pippin answered with longing in his voice.

"We saved some for you, Mr. Frodo, Miss Sera," Sam added cautiously.

Frodo hurried towards them, looking frantic.

"Put it out, you fools! Put it out!"

"Well, that's nice, mate," Daisy whined. "Ash on my tomatoes!"

"Does that really matter at the moment?" I hissed. "We could get caught!"

On cue, a Nazgul cry was heard, causing the five of us to tense. We hurried to the edge. To our horror, the Nazguls were beginning to approach us, moving slowly. Frodo immediately looked horrified. I didn't blame him. The Nazguls were after him, and only him. Maybe Athena as well, but the Riders didn't look as eager to get her than they were to get Frodo.
