So you see there are reasons I would never wish to preform surgery! I'm afraid I'd be likely to accidentally kill someone. Aragorn's a great healer, though.

Author Reply: Yes he is and I love to use him as much as I can in any story that I write. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

I did know Saruman had something to do with Lorelei, but I didn't actually think that he WAS Lorelei.

I hope you update soon since this was such a short chapter! :)

Author Reply: Glad I could surprise you, it's not easy because everyone usually has it figured out even before I write it. Sorry the chapter was short, but I've found I can update sooner (usually ;D) if I keep them short. Unfortunately I am sick with pnemonia and it will be a few days before I can get back on track. For some reason I always think, "Well, at least I'll have time to write...." only to find myself sleeping (or coughing up a lung ... blegghhhh! like today). I can only assure you I will never NOT finish a fic, so be patient with me, and thanks so much for reviewing!

Wow! I've discovered this story a couple of days ago and since then, I have been reading it with growing interest - and emotions.
So, it is Saruman who stands behind all this evil. Now, that Gandalf knows what happens, he will be able to react. I hope he will!

Please continue soon! You can't leave Frodo in such a state, you know ;-)

Author Reply: Thanks so much for reviewing! I am glad I've hooked you in, and I'll try not to leave Frodo in such a mess for too long. I used to update each week but things have been so crazy that I'm lucky if I get it done by 3 wks. I'll try to update sooner...but no promises. Hope you'll read on and review again!

Great new chapter, Tree. Thanks for updating. Poor Frodo! He's almost at the end of his rope physcially and what's worse, he's still having delusions about Lorelei. Has Gandalf finally figured out what's been happening to Frodo? And if so, what's he going to do about it? This is very interesting. It's good to see Frodo eating. Good nutrition can do wonders for a sick person, I can testify to that first hand. Of course, if someone completely loses the will to live, there's not much of anything that can help. I hope they reach Frodo mentally before that happens.

Author Reply: I think Gandalf has known almost from the start what was going on, but needed to be sure it wasn't the Ring working on Frodo or Saruman. He is going to be trying to work his magic and help Frodo but it won't happen all at once (you wouldn't want the story to end now, would you? We have to draw this out just a bit to make the ending a beaut) Our boy is in good hands now that he's out of that other cave, so we'll get him warmed up and full of medicine and food and see what happens next....hehehehe

Yeah, it was great to see Sam stand up. But he's so cool! *squeaks and hugs the hobbit* But Saruman? Yikes. I kinda suspected at first with the old man . . . . hmmm. Does Gandalf see Loreli, I wonder? hmmmmm. I suppose I will think about this later! I will eagerly await your next update! ^^

Author Reply: I think Gandalf realizes that evil can take on alot of guises and the name Lorelei kinda gives him a hint that Saruman is fooling with Frodo's brain and misguided feelings of Lorelei being, basically, too beautiful to be evil. I hope to update sooner, but we'll have to see how the week (or weeks :( ) go
thanks for the review, and come back soon

Author Reply: You *love*me? How wonderful!!! Or do you just love me for my stories (sob)? I am honored that you have me saved on your computer and tickled that you are enjoying the story, reviews or not. I hope to hear from you again and thanks so much for the hugs and kisses and the great opening question :D

Well, you know how happy I am that Frodo's finally getting warm and fed and looked after. I wonder if the Fellowship will ever truly know what's been happening?

Author Reply: Thank you so much my dear. You always say the sweetest things and I look forward to your reviews every time. Yes, the Fellowship is about to discover what all this mess is about although the details will have to be pulled from our ringbearer like a bad tooth. Stubborn, stubborn hobbits.
