Chapter Six
They climbed many steps to the top of some sort of watch tower Phoenix guessed. The steps were steep and Pippin tripped. Once at the top they started to unpack. Phoenix stood at the edge of the tower and looked down at what they just climbed.
"Merry, are we lost?" Pippin asked.
"I don't think so," Merry replied.
"I think we are,"
"Quiet! Gandalf is trying to think,"
There was a pause before Pippin spoke again. "Merry?"
"What?" Merry replied a tad annoyed.
"I'm hungry,"
Merry rolled his eyes, sat up from his seating position from Pippin and walked over to Sam. Pippin scrunched his face in disappointment.
Phoenix focused her eyes down on the ground. A creature jumped from rock to rock, slowly making its way to the top. "Frodo..."
"What is it?" he answered looking at her.
"What is that?" she pointed down to the rocks.
"Gollum!" Frodo exclaimed in horror. He walked over to Gandalf. "Gandalf, I think Gollum is following us."
"He has been following us for the last three days," Gandalf replied smoking from his pipe.
Phoenix watched the ugly crouching creature climb the rocks. He was a bluish color from what she could see in the dim light. His back was crooked, he limbs were bent, he had thinning hair on top of his ghastly head. His eyes reflected the light like a cats eyes. He reached a spot where he could watch Gandalf and Frodo easily. After a few moments Gollum snuck away out of site. She shook her head and walked over to Pippin.
"What were you watching?"
"Nothing..." she replied. She sat next to him. "Why did you come on this journey?"
"Merry and I were in Farmer Maggot's corn field...stealing his crops. We ran into Frodo and Sam. Farmer Maggot was gaining on us so I pulled Frodo with me, Merry and Sam followed. And we were on a path when a Dark Rider came...Merry and I just stuck along with them. What about you. How did you come along on this journey?"
"I need meaning to my life again, after my brother died...I lost it. And I think since I've been on this mission I've found a reason to be again,"
"This way," Gandalf announced.
"He's remembered!" Merry cheered as he walked to Gandalf's side.
"No, but the stench is far less fowl down this way," he pointed down the tunnel. "If ever in doubt, follow your nose Meridoc."
