Summery: When Frodo awakens from a nightmare he finds that Sam has been keeping a journal of the Fellowships journey. Frodo decides to read some and what he makes of it he doesn't like. He suspects that Sam is giving information to some of Saroman's men about what there doing and where they are. Will Frodo destroy Sam or just realize that he misinterpreted his Journal? 1/5
Frodo tossing around in his sleep clutching to the ring which hung around his neck. He awakens to find himself covered in a icy sweat. He turns over to see Sam undisturbed and sleeping. Frodo looked around in the dark and saw Smegol looking at him with wide eyes.
"Has master had a nightmare? Would hi like Smegol to talk to him about it?"
Frodo sat upright and grabbed a bottle of water from Sam's pack that they got recently and took a drink of it. He put the bottle back into its snug picket and looked at Smegol.
"No Smegol, I'm fine I assure you. I just had a little nightmare. Nothing to get worried over."
Smegol's eyes went from the ring around Frodo's neck to Frodo's eyes and smiled his frightening little smile. " Would Master like Smegol to take the precious from the Master for a while for safe keeping?"
Frodo's eyes grew wide and he shook his head and his hand clutched the ring. Frodo looked down at his feet and sighed as he slowly looked back up at Smegol. " Smegol, the ring is mine to bear. You have been so good for me. Don't make me tie you up again because I don't trust you to be around me in my sleep."
Smegol looked up at Frodo and his eyes grew even wider and a little teary. "Smegol would never steal the precious from Master! Master is Smegol's friend, Smegol's best friend!"
Frodo let out another tiring sigh and looked at Smegol and nodded his head in agreement and went to take out some food. He pulled out two pieces of bread and handed on to Smegol. Frodo slowly ate his and looked back at the sleeping Sam. Sam had been making camp for a long time. He had to push rock around and make sure they wouldn't get seen. Frodo sighed and continued to stare at Sam. He went over to the log and put the rest of the bread in the pack and felt a book he never noticed before. He pulled it out and saw the Rivendell crest on it. It had been a elfish book. But Sam couldn't read elfish? What was he doing with it? But when he opened the book he saw dates and notes in it in the common language. He realized that the first entry was the day of the meeting with Elrond and the others. When Frodo flipped threw the book he saw every day had a entry to the current day. It seemed that Sam was keeping a Journal of the journey of the fellowship then it turned into the journal of his and Sam's journey.
Smegol looked at the book then Frodo.
"What is the Master holding? Can Smegol see?"
Frodo looked up at Smegol. He completely forgot he was there at all. Frodo cleared his throat and put the book back in its secret fold in Sam's bag. "No Smegol can't see it. This is Sam's journal and Master was bad to look at it in the first place. Now Master is tired and is going to go back to sleep. Smegol should do the same."
Frodo lied back down and was holding tight to the ring. He sighed and began to think about Sam's journal. He was wondering what Sam wrote down about their journey so far. Just before Frodo fell asleep he decided to wake up tomorrow after Sam went to sleep and read it for himself.
