Strange Meetings
1 Chapter 1
Jeagol padded quietly to the edge of the cliff overlooking the glowing magma. Its' glow, the occasional burst of heat it made, and its' slight gurgling sound comforted her, and when she felt worried or uneasy she was drawn to the spot. She lay down and felt the gentle heat caress her face, gently, soothing her.
She lay on her back, staring at the small circle of gray that was the entrance to her home. For a second, she thought she saw a movement at the lip of the volcano. (If it had been you or I, we would have seen nothing, her ears and eyes are larger and have more acute sight and hearing.) She moved her ears slightly and she heard something that sounded like "OWWWWW!!!" and "PRECIOUS!!!" and also "GOLLUM!!!" and a shriek. She quietly wondered who Gollum was. Suddenly, she saw a glimmer of gold fall into the glowing magma. Then, she saw a figure falling down, a bit closer then the glimmer had been. She snatched up a net that was used to keep small children from falling off of the edge of the cliff and with expertise caught the figure. "I wonder if it saw the ladder..." she muttered, and pulled in the net.
