Safe…
I don't think I've ever been this safe…
Hot…
I feel like I'm melting…
The sun is shining on me…
My eyes are heavy…
I'll look later…
Sam'll…
Sam…
…
**********
Sam lay back on the bed, his eyes open, watching the ceiling lights twinkling. *So quiet, peaceful…*
The door creaked open, Legolas head slipped in and met the wave of heat, stepping back he noticed Sam laying on the bed, he looked like a corpse, just laid out. Legolas pushed the door open further, *I would but let him sleep, but something is not right*.
The fire in grate crackled and flickered, *odd that a fire should be lit now*, as he stepped over to Sam he felt the glass break under his feet and the nerves in his neck began to tingle. Reaching over swiftly, Legolas sat down by the hobbit.
"Samwise, I need you to come with me". Looking in to the unconscious hobbit's eyes he could see the mist in them, as if he were looking past the elf. Turning his head Legolas looked up to the ceiling and saw the lights reflected on the broken glass. Shivering, he took hold of the hobbit's body and lifted him. As he moved towards the doorway he felt something behind him and every nerve urged him not to look back and leave now.
Pulling the door closed behind him Legolas urged one of the guards over and warned him to keep watch on the doorway, knowing the elf's position the guard straightened his back and stood beside the door.
*He grows stronger, but what is his interest in Samwise*? Wondered the elf. Turning out of the corridor he headed for the main chamber, there Lord Elrond waited.
**********
The time is almost here, the exchange is prepared. His soul for mine, my freedom.
He sleeps now, surrenders, when he next wakes he will be where he was born to be…eversince I have learned of his existence he has become precious. The ring and it's bearer tied to me.
He was safe! I had found him in time, and then this…hobbit, takes him away…My Orcs were punished, their blood ran free until It was taken from me.
Then I became the fire and fell in to the fire. The hobbit will suffer for his crime.
And yet, my Light is pure…to stay with Men, and their weaknesses would sully him.
My doorway is nearly open, and then I will have him back and all of Middle Earth will pay for it's crimes…

*Mr Frodo? Mr Frodo? You're here I can feel it…but you're not afraid anymore…I promised never to leave you and I'll follow you even here, but please Mister Frodo, please don't turn away from me…Mr. Frodo it's dark here and I ain't never been afraid of the dark, but it's hot and I'm…I'M afraid, please Mr Frodo…Come back to me…*
********
I can hear him calling me, I'm scared because I know his voice, it's not like the other voice, it's sweet, like fresh air, but I cannot go to him…I feel like I'm wrapped up by the fire at home…Sam! Sam I want to come I do! But I cannot move, and I can't make my legs run towards you…
Maybe it's best not to fight, I've tried so hard for long and now I want to sleep…
But Sam! Sam something's wrong…Sam leave me…I'm not in danger anymore, It's you he wants…You're his key to freedom! Without you he cannot unlock the door!
Sam! Sam? Sam why aren't you running? Sam ? Sam!!!
I don't think I've ever been this safe…
Hot…
I feel like I'm melting…

My eyes are heavy…
I'll look later…
