Me: This is a little short fic I came up with out of the blue. Very Angsty, so I suggest you get out those cleaner's. You got them now?

Death is seen in many forms. To those who fear to die see it as an ugly twisted creature beyond understanding. To those who neither fear nor welcome it see it as a lonely lost Maiden filled with sorrow and despair. And to the ones who do welcome it, see the most beautiful and lovely woman who life itself couldn't even except into its imperfect world.

Very few people welcome death. But when all hope is lost and you have no reason to go on. Why would you not?

Deaths kiss can end even the strongest life and take them to hell or heaven depending on their actions. Deaths never takes requests or please from its victims………. Or does it?

**********************

Sam and Frodo lay in the Middle of the rock on Mount Doom. Lava poured from either side of them moving down the dusty slopes burning everything in its path. They had destroyed the ring and their task was complete.

Sam lay there looking up at the dull, gray sky as visions passed before him. Visions of the fellowship, the shire, Rosie, everything he was hoping to see after they ended the quest. But now he knew for a fact he would never see them again.

Slowly he turned his head to stare at Frodo who was lying beside him with his eyes shut. Ashes and dirt caked his face and lips and small paths of tears could be made out protruding from his eyes.

Sam fought back tears of his own and grabbed his master's cold hand. "Mr. Frodo?" He choked.

Frodo didn't move. His breath shallowed and his body seemed to relax as life slowly left him.

Sam grabbed his hand frantically. "Mr. Frodo, please don't leave!!. Not before me at least…. Mr. Frodo!?"

He still retrieved no answer, but suddenly he noticed a glimmer of light to the side of him and quickly turned his head to look.

In front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Her hair was a raven black which fell around her face like lace and her skin was a rosy pale which resembled pure white snow in the pleasant of winter. Her dress was made of satin white like an angel and her eyes were pools of green.

Sam had never seen such beauty and never expected too. But what would such a beautiful creature be doing in such a dark place? Clearly it couldn't be human?

Realization suddenly dawned on him, and a small fear sparked in his barely beating heart. She was death.

Slowly the beautiful creature walked over to his master and kneeled down beside his dying body. With her snow white hand, she brushed his dirty hair away from his pale face and leaned down to kiss him.

"Wait!!"

Death stopped and gazed up at Sam with an icy look of forbidding in her eyes.

Sam felt hurt by the look but shook the feeling away. "Please… don't take him yet. I don't want to watch my master die and live to know I did." he said with tears falling down his cheeks.

The creature still continued to gaze at him with her hand still on Frodos brow. Thoughts raced through Sam's head, and slowly with much difficulty he came to a decision.

"T-take me instead." he said slowly.

The roar of the heat and fire around him was slowly increasing and he wondered if Frodo would be able to make it out someway.

Death gazed at him for a few moments before nodding and moving away from Frodo.

Relief filled Sam and he smiled laying back down. Mr. Frodo was going to be O.k. And that was all he needed to know to feel happy about what he was doing.

Suddenly he herd a call from up above, and could see several great winged eagles heading toward where they lay.

Death looked up at them and then crawled over to Sam with a mournful look on her face. Never had she seen someone give up their life for another. Never had she seen someone with such a pure heart.

"Don't look sad m'lady.' Said Sam softly. "It my own choice."

Death smiled softly and leaned over and kissed Sam on the lips.

And for the first time in awhile, a brave and true soul was sent into heaven.
