Sorry it took so long to update, but here is the next chapter.and hopefully
I'll update the rest of my stories soon. (Note to everyone, read the
collaborated efforts of me and three other people at the penname Snap
Crackle and Pop)
For three nights already, Smea had been sleeping in front of the town, cold and miserable, hoping to catch a glance of Leani. He knew though, that it must have been simply a trick of his tortured mind. But he waited anyhow. After running out of the scraps of food he had been given, he began catching fish from the river, and cooking them over a warm fire. For this while, Gollum had retreated from his mind, but suddenly a hiss in the back of his mind made Smea nearly drop his dinner.
"Sss.we could go to the mountainssss.lotssss of treasuressss for Sméagol there," Gollum chuckled happily.
Smea tried to ignore Gollum, but suddenly he couldn't stand it. "LEAVE ME! WHY DO YOU PAIN ME? YOU HAVE TAKEN ME FROM EVERYTHING!!" Smea suddenly burst into sobs, but Gollum didn't seem to sympathize him.
"Foolissh hobbitsesss, no, we will give you everything you ever wanted.yessss, lotsss of power!"
"I don't want power." He said, slowly giving in, "I.just.want.Leani." he said quietly.
The gate of the town-the gate that barred him from his former life, from everything, creaked open slowly, and a small figure, armed with a knife, suddenly creeped out.
"Smea?" the whisper echoed sharply into the night.
"Leani?" Smea asked with unbelief, tears of joy welling in his eyes, "are you alive?"
"Yes, you didn't quite kill me." She gave a nervous laugh, but Smea, with a shock, realized she was scared of him. It wasn't unexpected but the one he loved the most.
"No, Leani, don't come closer.I don't want to do anything I regret." He said.
The figure in the dark suddenly hesitated, and with a relieved sigh, Smea realized she had put away the knife. He wasn't a monster wholly then.
"I.I mean." she stopped, trying to phrase her sentence so it wouldn't hurt his feelings.
"Don't worry about it, Leani." He said untruthfully, "I understand. I am dangerous, and I know it and accept it."
Leani didn't answer, but Smea could hear the several sobs she emitted.
"I'm leaving, Sméagol. My family, they've decided to leave this place." She said slowly.
"Then.this will be the last time I see you?"
"Maybe. But, I hope not." She said, weighing each word carefully. "Good bye.I love you!"
"Bye!" he whispered after her. She wormed her way back through the gate as the first tints of pink began to color the sky.
Of course I couldn't just kill Leani-not yet, at least (not to give you ideas). In the next chapter (or so) I think Smea's physical transformation into Gollum will start, unless I get an idea for a chapter right before that. Well, hopefully I'll update soon (yeah right) Okay! Next time, phrases within the parenthesis, I'm editing you out! (sure you are) oh yeah? (yeah) Take this and that, and......oh, heh, heh, sorry bout that. Well, um, hope you enjoyed that chapter.
