Sam and I continued on after we crossed the river in our boat. We traveled through the woods for a while until we reached the rocky edges of Mordor. "Mr. Frodo I think that maybe we should rest in the forest tonight because I doubt that there is any water in that forbidden land. And if you chest starts to bother you again I won't be able to help it," Sam said to me in a concerned tone. "All right Sam, we will stay in the forest tonight," I gave in reluctantly. Sam sat both of our packs on the ground and got a small fire going. I really wish that Sam would let me carry my own pack, but every time I try to take it he says ,"Not till your shoulders better Mr. Frodo!." He's just watching out for me. "Has your shoulder bothered you anymore Mr. Frodo?," Sam asked. "A little Sam, but not to bad yet," I replied.
"Well Mr. Frodo, if it does bother you anymore than just tell me and I will bathe your side with some of that Athelas that Strider gave to me," he said. "Ok, Sam," I told him as I rolled over and wrapped up in my blanket. For the first time in a while I fell asleep. Sam woke me up a short time after I had fallen asleep. "Mr. Frodo, we should start out soon. But before we go I think that we should bathe your side once more because, as I said before, I doubt there is any water in Mordor," Sam said to me. "Ok, Sam,' I replied to him. Sam came over to me and gently bathed my shoulder with Athelas. Being satisfied that I was comfortable he let me rest again. When I woke up we got our stuff all packed and as always, Sam took his pack and mine. Then we hesitantly started out again on what seems an impossible mission to destroy the Ring. "Sam, I really wished that you would let we carry my own pack," I pleaded with him.
"No, Mr. Frodo! I am not going to let you hurt you shoulder more by staining it and stressing it out with the weight of your pack," Sam told me. But, me being stubborn, I didn't listen to him and I grabbed my pack away from him. I put it on anyway and that was one of the dumbest things that I have ever done. When I picked up my pack and tried to put it on I heard a sickeningly loud *pop* and felt the pain rush through my arm. "oh, Mr. Frodo! You should never have done that. Now your shoulders broken again," Sam said to me as he gently let me lean against him and lowered me to the ground. "I'm sorry Sam," I said to him as I grimaced from the pain in my shoulder. Sam bound my shoulder to my side shoulder as Aragorn had done. I whimpered from the pain of him manipulating it but I tried to hold it back. I have already put o much stress on Sam, and I couldn't bear to cause any more. " I'm sorry Mr. Frodo, but your shoulders broken again and I don't want you to be in any more pain than you have to be," He said to me as he finished binding my shoulder.
We started off into the wasteland or Mordor. It felt like we had walked forever and I longed for a rest but we continued in a little further and then we rested. Finding sleep was not easy for me but I slept for a little while. I was to distracted by the pain in my shoulder to sleep. I gave up on sleeping a while back in the trip and I have grown accustom to sitting and listening while others sleep. But I was jolted out of my reverie when I heard something. A gangly looking thing came down from above me and pounced on me, Sam quickly came to my aid. I couldn't defend myself because of my injured shoulder. Sam picked up the creature and threw it to the ground, then the creature jumped up on Sam and bit his shoulder. Sam fell to the ground and the creature, which I realized was Gollum, wrapped his arms around Sam's neck. Horrified but what I was I quickly grabbed Sting with my right hand and lunged for Gollum. Little did I know how much I would regret those actions later.
