A/N: I'm starting a little section here about Gollum's little exploits inside the caves about 368 years before Bilbo found him. (There's nothing technical about the three hundred years I just wanted it to be semi-early in his corruption by the ring, and that's a weird number.) So yeah and if you guys have any suggestions or any scenes you want from Gollum's POV just let me know, I'm always looking for new ideas and challenges. Please R&R!

"It has become quite boring down here in the caves, you say?" Gollum whispered to the shiny object clasped firmly in his hands. He sat on a small rock over looking a little lagoon. He crouched resting on his haunches waiting for a sign that a fish was swimming by.

"We'll catch some fish.yesss some fish. We'll bash it's head in and eat it raw.." He laughed to himself, barely able to contain his excitement as he thought of eating a fish. But to his disappointment no fish came, leaving him a precious nothing to do.

"Precious is bored" he thought " I can feel Precious becoming restless, I must find something to amuse Precious." He wandered through the dark caves looking for something to do. He explored dark areas of the caves that they had never before had the courage to wander.

As they were walking, he saw something in the distance. Two bright yellow ovals, they looked like they were eyes; eyes that were staring right at his precious! "No! Stay away from my Precious! It's mine! It was my present!" As he shrieked at the pair of beady eyes, they began to move towards him at incredible speed.

He fell to the ground, crushing his enclosed hands beneath him in an attempt to save Precious. "Oh Precious, we's gonna be eaten!" He squeezed his eyes shut waiting for the doom to come. But to his surprise the monster flew right in by. He looked up and knew it to be no more than a common bat. He gasped, he couldn't let Precious know that he had been scared by a mere bat.

"We's scared it off Precious! We's scared off the monster!" He thought that would have been enough excitement to please Precious, but not it was still restless. It wanted to leave the caves and create havoc.

He never liked hurting people, and he only did it for Precious; but once he started, he began to enjoy it and it would be hours before he could stop.

They always went to the same place, a small goblin village not far from the cave entrance. He would hurt them, set them against each other and destroy homes and belongings. He never wanted to do it, but he needed to please Precious.

Yessss, he felt it, that's what Precious wanted. He had been avoiding it for days and now it would not wait. Precious wanted to go now. He sighed and clutching Precious in one hand he crawled to the cave entrance; easily finding the easiest course along the walls.
