I woke up with the sound of rustling behind me,I immediately sat down and looked at the noise. It was a man,drinking tea.

"Goodmorning" He simply said,looking at me. I frowned and looked around. This isn't home..

"Where am I?" I asked,groaning because of my head.

"You are at my house.." He said politely. He stood up and went to another room. He quickly went back and handed me a cup. I mumbled a 'thankyou' and sipped on the cup.

"Who are you?" I asked,he was about to say something when a knock came.

"I-Hold that thought.." He said,before scrambling away to another room. Why am I here?

He came back with some basket,he placed it down and sat down beside me.

"I'm Bilbo..Bilbo Baggins." He said.

"I'm Scarlet..Higgins." I said. I quietly snickered, Our last name sounds alike. He nodded awkwardly and looked outside the window.

"Nice to meet you Miss Higgins!" He cheerfully said and patted my head.

"Well,Nice to meet you too Mr. Baggins.." I cheerfully replied back. My mind went back to reality. Hailey? Home? Why am I here!?

"How did I get here?" I asked. He shrugged and stammered a little bit.

"Well,I was picking some apples in the woods when I saw you...Laying on the ground..Not moving..I thought you are dead.. But when I check for your pulse..You are still alive! And I brought you here..In the shire..In-" He was interrupted by me.

"SHIRE!?" I asked.

"Uh..yes." He said,nodding.

I grabbed the note and read it again.. Shire..Shire..SHIRE!

"Have you seen a girl with blond hair?" I asked,he cowardly walked backwards.

"What? No-No." He stammered. I ran towards the door and went outside. I quickly ran towards the neighborhood. There are so many little cute houses. Little people roam around the path,it was a beautiful morning. Grass bending gracefully with the wind.

I looked at the people's feet..Oh my gosh! Its gigantic. Again..not literally..

I ran away,feeling a little scared. What are these creatures?

I heard Bilbo called my name.

"Scarlet!" Bilbo called behind me. I turned around to see him running after me.

"Get away! Go bother somebody else!!" I yelled back. I know it's harsh to yell to someone you just met..but when your'e in a frightened state...No guiltiness!

When I turned around to where I'm running,A figure was standing. I halted and bumped into it,I fell backwards. I clutched my head and looked up to see an old man. The old man was wearing a dress and a weird hat. He holds a stick.

"Scarlet,dear..I'm not wearing a dress..Let me help you." The old man said. My mouth immediately opened and my eyes widened. How did he?

"I can read your mind dear." He said and offered me his hand. I grabbed it and he hoist me up.

"How did you know my name?" I asked,Bilbo came beside me. He was panting tiredly. Poor man...

"Bilbo! My dear fellow..." He said,Bilbo smiled and hugged the old man.

"Excuse me..I hate to interrupt..but Who are you? And how did you know my name?" I asked. The old man nodded at Bilbo.

"We will talk about it at Bilbo's house.." Old man said,Bilbo smiled at me and lead the way. I just followed Bilbo,looking at the ground.
