Sam grabbed Frodo's hand purely out of instinct. Frodo quickly drew his hand away and sat up to challenge his attacker. Sam stepped back, frightened at the look of pure anger and hatred in Frodo's eyes. Frodo stood up, meeting Sam, and reached for Sam's neck.

"Wake up, Mister Frodo" Sam said, a bit more sharply then he had intended. Frodo's eyes quickly locked gazes with Sam, and his expression suddenly turned worn.

"Sam?" Frodo managed to croak out as he fell back into his bed. Frodo shook his head. "Sam. Sam, I'm -" Frodo began, but Sam cut him off, knowing why Frodo had behaved so.

"It's ok, Mr. Frodo. I know. " Sam paused, a short silence fell over the room, when finally Sam continued. "Rosie's made a fine breakfast, sir, if you want to come and join us." With that, Sam left the room.

Frodo sat in his bed, starring at the space Sam had occupied only a few seconds ago. Frodo was well aware of the events that just occurred, and their significance. "I keep hurting him, don't I?" Frodo said outloud to himself. Sighing, he slowly got out of bed, not feeling ready to take on the day, but knowing he must, for Sam's sake. He changed, and walked out of the room, a forced smile on his face, prepared to force cheer when he was in front of the Gamgees.

Rosie watched Sam walk back in the room, a depressed look upon his face. Rosie, not entirely sure of what took place in Frodo's room, but who had a good guess, did not bother to ask Sam. She was almost sure, from the clatter she had heard in the room, some kind of short confrontation had happened in Frodo's room. She was not entirely surprised. Such an event had happened before. Once, she even had to come to Sam's aid, Frodo had become so possessed. She shuttered at the memory. It always frightened Rosie whenever Frodo became out of sorts. It also filled her with pity, for although never being told directly by either hobbit, Rosie had a good idea of what happened while Sam was away with Frodo, destroying the ring. She couldn't imagine what the two must have gone through, but she knew it was enough to drain the happiness from Frodo's cheeks, and to lower the always cheerful spirits of her Sam.

Sam sat down next to Rosie, and put his head in his hands, silently waiting for Frodo to enter the kitchen. When he did, he greeted the two with a smile and a kind word. "Good morning." He'd said.

To which, Sam and Rosie, forcing smiles as well, replied "Good morning, Mr. Frodo, how'd you like some breakfast?"

"I'd love some, everything smells delicious, Rosie." Frodo insincerely, but as sincerely as possible had said.

The three hobbits sat down to breakfast, and ate the meal in silence.
