***Sorry for those reading! I downloaded the wrong chapter before, but this
is the right chapter now! Thanks to singe aliene about that***
Finally, the time to write another chapter. I lie, actually, I am supposed
to be doing math homework. Oh well. The story begins to get interesting
(even if the chapter is kind of short) now as a few Gollum symptoms begin
to appear. Read and enjoy (and review).
Chapter Six: Murder
Smea could see that the only person he loved and trusted more than anyone was frightened. The monster was subdued in Smea's sudden desperation to get away from Leani, to keep her safe from himself, to keep her from hating him. He ran, Leani called after him, and began to chase him, but she knew he didn't want this and stopped herself, but Smea kept running.running. He finally stopped to catch his breathe and looked to see how far he had run in his desperation. He recognized the place immediately. The place where he had murdered Dea. He could not stop here.no.he would go home, go to sleep and the nightmare would be over. "We are not a dream, Sssmea." hissed a sudden voice in the back of his head. "You are! Dammit! Leave me alone!" he cried, clutching his head and shaking. A quiet sound pierced through Smea's tortured cries. Smea looked down and upon the dead, yellow grass was a paper dove, pure white and delicately folded. He looked up. Leani had to follow him. She stood there, her face wrung in worry. "Smea, come back to me." She said quietly, "I don't know what is happening, because it isn't all that bad. But I fear it will get worse," she said, with her eyes half closed, as though she was searching his mind, "do away with the ring, or you will become a monster. Do it, for me, and for yourself. Please"
Smea began to take the ring into a trembling hand, and pulled his hand back as though to throw it, but he froze in the middle.
"We don't want to leave our preciousss."
"Smea, throw it!" Leani said, half crying. She tried to grab the ring out of his hands, to throw it, but in a sharp movement, Smea's hands found themselves around Leani's throat.
"Smea.please.don't!" she said crying, "Come back to me!"
In Smea head a desperate battle was being fought.the monster wanted desperately to kill the girl and Smea wanted to love her, to save her.
A single word croaked out of his throat, and for an instant, his hands relaxed, "Run!"
She tried to struggle out of his grip, and the monster now had a grip on Smea's mind. The grasp on her throat grew tighter.tighter.
The body suddenly became limp.

I'm proud of that chapter, so I hope you enjoyed it. But, down to the point.is Leani really dead? What is happening to Smea? Will more of Smea's friends feel the effect of the ring? To find out, please tune it next week to..Before the Ring! (well, not exactly next week, but when I get enough reviews or time.)
