He was wandering alone in the forest. They had just come from Lothlorien where he met Lady Galadriel. She spoke to him of what would come if he failed on his quest. She told him that all his companions were in danger and that he was completely alone.
A look swept over his face as it dawned to him that he must leave at once. However, his feet were thinking otherwise, as they aimlessly walked up the side of a hill.
"Frodo?" a familiar voice said, interrupting his thoughts. Frodo turned but saw that it was Boromir. He only glared at the Gondorian warrior as this was the last person he wanted to see. Ever since Caradras when the ring seemed to take hold of him, Frodo did not trust Boromir. And the fact that the Halfling was being followed did not help matters
"Frodo, you should not wander alone like that, especially if the likes of Middle Earth depend on you. I am afraid for you. Afraid of Orcs and Sauron and Sauruman." He paused and very reluctantly said "Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly?"
"I would accept your offer to give the ring to you and Gondor except for the warning in my heart."
"Why? I am neither thief nor tracker! Frodo, give Gondor the ring. We can use it for good, the weapon of the enemy! They would never expect it! The lives of my people have protected you Shire. Give us the ring and we will protect you!" Boromir was pleading now.
Frodo spoke sharply, "No, it will only corrupt you, as it did Isildur."
"Give me the Ring!"
"No!" Frodo was now inching away from Boromir.
"Curse you!" Beads of sweat dripped off Boromir's face. "Curse you and all the little Halflings to-" but he was never able to finish his sentence for there was a feeling that something was tugging on the back of his tunic and his feet lifted from the ground. There was darkness everywhere. Frodo and Boromir landed on the edge of an ominous forest and in front of them was a great and magnificent looking castle. Both were in awe.
Frodo jumped for some one had tapped his shoulder and said "Who are you two?"
A/N: This is only a foundation to the story. It will get longer, I promise. I tried to leave it as a cliff hanger. Sadly, not really much of a cliff hanger sniff This is my first story and I know it probably sucks, but please review! Too short? Bad grammar? Flames even! Yes, flames are welcome because I am made of iron! hits chest Ouch! (Told you she isn't made of iron) what the- (Well...so.) What's going on up there? (So pay up! You own me 10 bucks) (Alright fine... last time I make a bet with you) You bet on me?! Uuuggg! Stupid evil green monkeys inside my head. Never know when to shut up...
