I've decided to add on to the scene where Gandalf dies. This is in Frodo's
point of view. Tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings, of any of the characters, though, I would like to.

I was numb. He was dead. I couldn't believe it. My memory went back to the days before. "I can't read it" "There are few who can". I shook myself out of it. I looked at the ring. More memories flashed past my eyes. "Do they Gandalf?" "There is one other, that knew that Bilbo had the ring" "You must remember, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found". I tried to stop myself from remembering anything more. I couldn't stand this. I'd never see him again. Yet then again, he is the one who got me into all of this. But If I didn't except the ring, maybe he would have been alive.
A tear streamed down my face, and I felt that more were coming. But I knew I couldn't cry in front of the Fellowship. "Its power corrupts all who desire it. Only one has the will to resist it. A Fellowship of nine must destroy it." "Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring" I shook my head, whipping a tear from my face. I couldn't go on, I had to end it here. Yet the words echoed in my head. "One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" "You must leave the shire" I fumbled with the ring, and I could feel the other members of the shire watching me. I looked up at them, and I knew that it was time for us to go. I couldn't make myself get up though. It was too soon. "But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron created a master Ring, by which he could control all others. And into it he poured his craft, his cruelty, and his will to dominate all life." I thought of giving up, but I knew that if Gandalf was still alive, he'd be disappointed. I had to continue, not for myself, but for Gandalf, and everyone else.
I had another vision of Gandalf, hanging on the edge for his life. Myself being held back from trying to save him. The words repeated in my head, "Gandalf!! No!!" More tears streamed down my face. This can't be happening. I pinched myself to see if this was all a dream, yet it wasn't, it was real, it was the past and no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't change it. It would be hard for me to go on, but I knew I must. I got up on my feet, and nodded to the others assuring them that I was ready. I'm going to destroy this ring, and no matter how scared I am, I will go on. It was no longer for the pride of being able to say that I did it, it was for Gandalf.
