domination, I plan to own them. Hahahahahahaha.ahem.

Chapter Five - Lost the Cool.
Frodo jerked awake, his left hand clasped firmly around the Ring and his right hand on his sword. Beside him, Sam lay, his eyes watching the stars above.
"What is it, Mr. Frodo?" He asked, sitting up and handing Frodo a piece of Lembas from his pack. Frodo took the Lembas and chewed on it half-heartedly.
"He's wanting to know where the ring is, Sam." He said, looking around at the surroundings. "I'm afraid she might tell him."
Sam snorted and choked. "Oh, come on now, Mr. Frodo." He said, and cleared his throat. "She wouldn't do a thing like that!"
Frodo let out a huge sigh and pulled the ring out from underneath his shirt. He sat there for a moment, admiring the simplistic beauty of the Ring.
"Yes," He finally said, stuffing the ring and chain back inside his shirt before Sam could see. "Why would she do that?"
**
Galadriel sat alone in an isolated spot. She had requested time alone to think over Sauron's offer. She did not think the Dark Lord would be so easily fooled but he had been willing to let Galadriel the time without a guard, and she was glad.
"Easily fooled?" She said aloud. She shook her head and sighed. "Don't be so stupid! He's hardly going to be easily fooled, he's planning something."
She sighed and tipped her head back to look at the treetops surrounding. She closed her eyes and took a long, deep breath.
"My Lady?" A quiet voice asked.
Galadriel turned in her seat and stood, looking for the source of the voice.
"My eyes fool me!" She said quietly. "Celeborn?" Her voice came out a hoarse whisper, her eyes filled momentarily with tears.
"Galadriel, my love."
She saw her beloved husband come into view, surrounded in a brilliant white light. She ran forward, her heart aching, and embraced him tightly, her face buried in his hair.
"I missed you-" She started, but Celeborn cut her off by placing a finger to her lips. "Shhh.." He said and gave her the gentlest of kisses. She hugged him tightly, a radiant smile on her face. Beneath Galadriels arms, Celeborns form changed. Galadriel stepped back, her eyes full of hurt as Sauron formed in front of her.
"Have you decided yet?" He demanded.

Aragorn. Legolas and Gimli saw the whole thing in their dreams that night, and when the sun had fully risen, they continued on, having stopped a little while to recover themselves. As the day progressed, they realised, with sinking hearts, that Merry and Pippin where being taken to Isengard.
"So it is Saruman who gives speed to these creatures." Aragorn said with a rare bitterness to his voice.
**
Frodo and Sam winced as another ear piercing shriek ripped itself from the creature's throat. "It burns us! It burns us!" He cried.
Sam wrinkled his nose and pulled harder on the rope, but Gollum kept screaming and carrying on.
"It's hopeless! Every orc in Mordor's going to hear this racket! Let's just tie him up and leave him!"
Gollum looked up, eyes wild and wide. "No! No! That would kill us!"
Sam sneered and tugged a little harder on the rope. They had picked up the unfortunate creature that morning when he had tried to attack the two Hobbits in their sleep.
"It's no more than you deserve!" Sam yelled at Gollum as he twisted and moaned, tugged weakly at the rope around his neck.
Frodo looked at Gollum, then back to Sam. "Maybe he does deserve to die, but now that I see him, I do pity him."
Gollum looked up and gave a weak smile. "We be nice to them if they be nice to us. Take it off us. We swears to do what you wants. We swears." He begged.
Frodo looked at Gollum, a tough decision on his mind.
**
"Where is it?" Sauron bellowed, causing the trees around to shake. "I swear I would rip you to shred with my bare hands, were you no use to me!"
Galadriel looked up at the smouldering Lord, her eyesight was blurred. She was bordering on unconsciousness.
Sauron had hit her in his frustration causing Galadriel to fall backwards and crack her head on a stone bench that had been behind her. Although the pain was great, she could feel her immortality at work.
"A company of..nine!" Sauron spat, ripping through Galadriels thoughts and read them as if they were pages in a book.
"They passed through your realm, one bearing the Ring of Power. MY Ring!"
Galadriel winced and curled herself into a little ball, the pain thundering through her head with every movement.
"The company split. One died, at the hands of one of Saruman's Uruk-Hai."
Galadriel whimpered as Sauron knelt down beside her and caressed her cheek. She felt her head would explode and tried, not for the first time to overpower Sauron with her mind, but found it impossible for the spell that bound most of her powers was still in place.
"A Halfling carries it."
Galadriel gulped and drew a haggard breath.
"Frodo Baggins."
She passed out.
**
"He knows who I am!" Frodo cried, waking Sam from his sleep. Beside them, Gollum looked up, surprised.
"Sauron knows I have the Ring!"
