A/N - This is for Ailsa Joy, who is feeling more than a bit icky at the moment and needs cheering up! Sorry Ailsa, this'll probably make you feel worse......
This is also for Tigerlily Baggins, for saying I can visit her in... get this, California!!!!! Oh, and because I promised her something special for when she got her new computer!
Thank you to everyone who reviewed!

It took 'im.
The quest has claimed his life.
Darkness.
He's gone to the one place where his Sam can't follow. How could he leave me? How could I let 'im down?
I should have got 'im out, out of that place good an' quick, before Stinker could delay me an' make it too late.
It's too late now. He's gone.
The silence is mockin' me now. There's no trees, no life. Jus' emptiness that I can't escape from.
I have to leave 'im. There's no where for a proper burial, and the quest must go on.
Runnin'. I can't look back. I mustn't look back 'cause then I'll never look forward. There's nothin' to look forward anymore. What's the point o' savin' the world when there's nothin' left in it?
Be strong Sam. You still have the Shire. The Gaffer. Rosie.
But not Frodo.
Somethin's coming. Orcs.
They've taken Frodo.
Wait......................
Says he's alive.
ALIVE!
I have to save 'im. He can't be taken in there alone and injured. He can't be taken in there at all. Not without his Sam. But I've no energy left to follow him.
The light has returned. A dawn breaks the dismal life.
There is still hope.
I jus' gotta get 'im back.

A/N - Shortest chapter yet. I don't think Sam would have said much then. Chapter 4 coming soon!
