Chapter 57:

One Hour

"We will rest here." Aragorn said. His whole manner had changed since seeing the monstrous statues of Isildur and Anarion. I think that seeing them changed us all, a little, but him more than the others. He seemed more kingly, more commanding.

"More intelligent…" I scoffed under my breath as we unloaded our gear and made ready to camp out. Soon we would be where we could no longer use the boats. I worried about getting out of shape from all this riding around.

I had a hard time sleeping that night, for fear of Orcs. I knew that they were nearby and even having someone guard did not ease my fears. After breakfast the next morning, Aragorn gathered us into a group.

"The day has come at last, the day of choice which we have long delayed. What now shall become of our Company that has traveled so far in fellowship? Shall we turn east with Boromir and go to the wars of Gondor; or turn east to the Fear and Shadow; or shall we break our fellowship and go this way and that as each we may choose? Whatever do must be done soon. We cannot halt here. The enemy is on the eastern shore, we know; but I fear that the Orcs may already be on this side of the water."

I glared at him as Ki and Ka gasped. He didn't have to say that, however true that it may be. No one else moved or spoke. I guess that they were waiting to be commanded.

"Well, Frodo," Aragorn said, "I fear that the burden has been laid upon you."

Frodo was silent for a moment, "Please allow me some time. A small amount at least. I know time is scarce, but time is needed. For one hour, let me alone."

"It is done, Frodo. You may have one hour, but wisely think about your decision." Aragorn said. Frodo stood up and walked off. Sitting by Boromir, I noticed, he wasn't shy about staring at Frodo with greed emanating from his gaze.

"Well, what do we do for an hour?" I asked, stretching as I stood up, "What's he going to say, Aragorn?"

Aragorn ignored me, so I spent about fifteen minutes bugging them. Then I noticed.

"Hey, where'd Boromir go?" I asked Chi. She looked about as well. It was sure now that he was gone.

"Hey, guys. I don't want to sound paranoid, but I think that Boromir went after Frodo." I said, waving my hands. They were all discussing about why Frodo was hesitating. When I said something, they all looked around.

"Let us search for them." Legolas said.

"If he did anything, I'll…" Gimli said, threateningly.

"Let us not assume the worst. Now we must search." Aragorn said, "Stay in pairs." Merry and Pippin ran off with Ki and Ka, also having Chi run after them, just to make sure that they were safe, which made a pair of five. Legolas and Gimli ran off another way, and Aragorn and Sam ran up the hill.

"Hey….." I said to nobody, "What am I going to do?"
