Chapter Twenty Four: When I Look To The Sky
/When I look to the sky, something tells me you're here with me...-Train/
Farren gazed up at the sky as she waited to be set free. She didn't like being kept here. These men were MEAN! ARGH!
But she couldn't help but notice that there was something familiar when she looked at Faramir. What was it?
Well... When I say she looked up at the sky, should I mention she had a blindfold on? So... Technically... You get it.
Suddenly, her blindfold was ripped off.
"My men tell me that you are Orc spies." Faramir stated.
"Spies? Now wait just a minute-" Sam was cut off.
"Well, if you're not spies, then who are you?"
Sam and Farren both looked at Frodo. None of them spoke.
"Speak." Faramir instructed, sitting down.
"We are hobbits of the Shire. Frodo Baggins is my name. This is Farren Yately and Samwise Gamgee."
"Your bodyguard?" Faramir completely ignored me as he looked over at Sam.
"His gardener." Sam replied.
"And where is your skulking friend? That gangrel creature. He had an ill-favored look."
Frodo paused. "There was no other. We set out from Rivendell with twelve companions. One we lost in Moria. Four were my kin. A dwarf there was also. Two elves, two women and two men. Aragorn son of ARathorn and Boromir of Gondor were the men."
"You're a friend of Boromir?" Faramir questioned.
"Yes. For my part."
Faramir stood. "It will grieve you then to learn that he is dead."
Farren gasped. "Poor Bianca..."
"Dead? How? When?" Frodo asked.
"As one of his companions, I'd hoped you would tell me."
"If something has happened to Boromir, we would have you tell us." Frodo informed him.
"His horn washed up uon the riverback, about six days past. It was cloven in two. But more than this, I know it in my heart..." Faramir paused. "He was my brother."
Farren's eyes widened. "That's why you looked familiar..."
-Page-Break-
Farren was sitting awake as Frodo and Sam slept. She couldn't sleep. She thought traveling on the road was uncomfortable, she had another thing coming once she got here!
She missed her friends. She missed home. She missed all of it. All she had was to think of them...
She looked up at the ceiling of the cave. "Why me?" She whispered.
Suddenly, she thought she heard something.
"We'll always be there."
Said the Angel that sat next to Farren. She was translucent. Almost see through. Farren reached out to touch her, but her hand just went through the hallucination.
"We're never going to leave your side, Farren. Promise."
Next was Marley.
Lily, Pebbles, and Bianca were there then. "We'll always be in here." Lily pointed to Farren's chest.
"We're in your thoughts and dreams.
" Pebbles smiled.
"And you're in ours."
Bianca promised.
Suddenly, they all disappeared as a loud noise was heard. "No..." She whispered.
She looked up when Faramir strode over. Frodo woke up at the sound of him approaching.
"You must come with me. Now."
Frodo stood up and held his hand out for Farren.
"Not the girl." Faramir frowned.
"She comes with me." Frodo replied.
Farren smiled at him, and the two followed Faramir to the edge of the waterfall.
"Down there." Faramir pointed.
Frodo and Farren looked down. Farren blinked upon seeing Gollum diving off a rock.
"To enter the Forbidden Pool bears the penalty of death." Faramir gestrued to the archers standing with their bows drawn at Gollum that surrounded the pool.
"They wait for my command. Shall I shoot?"
Farren looked at Frodo, giving him a worried look. Gollum climbed out of the pool with a fish.
"The rock and pool is nice and cool, so juicy sweet! Our only wish, to catch a fish, so juicy sweet!" The fish wriggled and Gollum slapped it harder on the rock.
Faramir raised his hand to signal the archers to shoot. Frodo hesitated before stopping him.
"Wait! This creature is bound to me. And I to him. He is our guide. Please... Let me go down to him."
Faramir nodded and Frodo scrambled down to the pool to Gollum. Farren quickly went after him before Faramir could stop her.
"Smeagol." Gollum looked up. "Master is here. Come, Smeagol. Trust master. Come."
Gollum hesitated. "We must go now?"
"Smeagol, you must trust master. Follow me. Come on. Come. Come, Smeagol. Nice Smeagol. That's it. Come on." Frodo instructed.
Gollum put the fish in his mouth and warily followed Frodo. Farren screamed when he was grabbed by the soliders.
"Don't hurt him!" Frodo shouted. "Smeagol! Don't struggle! Smeagol listen to master!"
"Master!" Gollum shouted in reply.
The soliders put a bag over his head and lead him away. Frodo and Farren were dragged back to the cave where Sam was.
Not long after they got there and the soliders had left, Sam said "We have to get out of here. You go. Go, now. You can do it. Use the Ring, Mr. Frodo. Just this once. Put it on. Disappear."
Farren gave a helpless look before she sighed. "Sam's right Frodo. Just... Disappear... Go. You're the one who has to get out."
"I can't. You were right, Sam. You tried to tell me but..." Frodo looked scared and Farren hugged him. "I'm sorry.. The Ring's taking me, Sam. If I put it on... He'll find me... He'll see."
Sam put a hand on Frodo's shoulder. "Mr. Frodo-"
Faramir walked in suddenly and drew his sword. The three hobbits stood up.
"So this is the answer to all the riddles." He advanced on Frodo. "Here in the wild, I have you... Three halflings... And a host of men at my call." Frodo was backed against te wall. "The Ring of Power within my grasp." Farren glared when Faramir lifted the Ring around Frodo's neck up with the tip of his sword. "A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor... To show his quality."
Frodo suddenly pulled away. "No!" He ran over to the corner of the cave.
"Stop it!" Sam shouted.
"Leave him alone!" Farren whimpered.
"Don't you understand? He's got to destroy it! That's where we're going! To Mordor! To the Mountain of Fire!" Sam continued.
A solider walked in. "Osgiliath is under attack. They call for reinforcements." A solider stated to Faramir.
"Please." Sam said tearfully. "It's such a burden. Will you not help him?"
Farren literally did burst into tears. "Please Captain Faramir... Please! We just want Middle Earth to be at peace again! Please! You have to help us! Please..."
"Captain?" The solider asked.
Faramir turned to the solider. "Prepare to leave." He looked at Farren and Sam. "The Ring will go to Gondor."
Sam looked on disbelievingly as Faramir left.
"YOU BASTARD!" Farren called after him. "YOU GUTLESS BASTARD! IF BOROMIR WERE HERE HE'D TELL YOU TO LET US GO! HE'D TELL YOU TO HELP US DESTROY THE RING!" She didn't care how low a blow it was. It was true.
Faramir stopped for a moment, before he continued on, ignoring Farren's screams and protests.
-Meanwhile...-
"We Ents... Have not troubled... About the wars of men and wizards... For a very long time. But now... Something is about to happen... That has not happened... For an age..." Treebeard stopped walking. "Entmoot."
"What's that?" Marley asked.
"'Tis a gathering." Treebeard replied.
"A gathering of what?" Merry asked, looking around with a worried expression.
Low rumbling noises were heard. The hobbits all looked around to see other Ents walking towards them through the forest.
"Beech. Oak. Chestnut. Ash. Good. Good. Good. Many have come." Treebeard nodded. "Now we must decided if the Ents... Will go to war."
Pebbles and Marley hi-fived as Pippin gazed around in awe and Merry smiled broadly.
Does anyone else have a little brother who frustrates them to no end?
So, it's snowing today, and my brother went out in his snow stuff to help my dad shovel the driveway. He comes in and tosses his WET CLOTHES on the couch on top of my phone, my mom's jacket, my IPOD and some clothes my neighbords gave me. Then when I say "Kiddo please hang them up so nothing gets wet" he says "No!" and he walks out so then I yell after him and he's like "FINE IF IT'LL GET YOU TO SHUT UP!"
There are days when my brother annoys me.
So. Much.
Part of the reason I'm in a bad mood.
