Chapter Number: 26
Chapter Title: Departure II
Original Chapter Title: Frodo and Sam run away from them decide not to follow (too close)
The sun was falling behind the trees when Frodo decided to slightly quicken his pace to catch up with Gollum. Elanor and Laurëaelen were falling slightly behind, talking to Sam. 'This,' Frodo thought, ' is the perfect opportunity to talk with our guide.' Catching up to the loping creature in front of him wasn't entirely easy. Gollum was determined and with every step, he tried to quicken his pace.
"Gollum." He called after him.
"Hobbittesss wants to talk to Smeagol?" he said not bothering to slow down.
"Look, I know something is wrong."
"Wrongsiieess, eh? Them other Hobbitteeiessss and Elf are slowing Smeagol."
"What do you suggest we do?"
"Precioussss is more important."
"Yes, it is." Frodo noted sadly."

The next evening, Frodo, Sam and Gollum left Elanor and Laurëaelen. When Elanor woke up, she was surprised to find a letter written in the dust beside her and her beloved gone. With but only a few smudges she was able to make it out.
My Dearest Flower, It grieves me to leave you, but I must to this alone. You know why we had to leave and my heart is breaking at the very thought of you weeping over this hurried, dust written note. I trust Gollum will deliver Sam and myself safely. Do not worry, Sam is a good soul and he will help me watch Gollum. I must leave now, for my time grows short. Forever Yours,
Frodo
Elanor did feel a tear roll down her cheek as she read this. But this was now out of her hobbit hands.
"Lauri, they are gone again." she whispered.
"I know."
" I don't trust Gollum with a shred of my being. Could we just follow them for just one night more?"
"Make it two Elle, and then we can say goodbye to them properly."
"Of course. I hate it when my heart is in turmoil like this..."
A.N.: ELLE: Short AN for a short chapter: Sorry guys for the short chapter and the short AN
LAURI: Okay, yea, these chapters are unbearably short, that is why I have decided to post three at this time. I also hope that lots more wonderful reviews show up! For I do love reading them! :D I can't wait till we get to the "interesting drama part" of this book. It's in ch. 29 or so. R/R
