A/N Frodo: Since Erin is trying to block out Sam and is covering her ears, I'm giving you your author notes.
Yelling can be heard from the background. "SAMANTHA!! YES!! WHY NOT? THAT'S A PERFECT NAME!" Sam screamed.
Frodo: anyway, There might not be another update until at the earliest the 28th of July because Erin is vacationing in - Erin what's this called? oh ok, Montre-al.
Sam: Why can't she be vacationing in this story!!
Frodo: oh, Happy late birthday Niori, her birthday was on the 22nd. and......happy early birthday to Erin, her birthday is on July, 26th!!! now, go and read and review or whatever you do!
*******************************************************
"We must walk this way, Hobbitses!" Gollum cried, leading the way.
Up ahead was an ugly marshland. "We have to walk in a marsh? no way, turning around!" Erin exclaimed.
"If you go back Orcses will get you, this is the only path they don't take," Gollum replied.
"No!! I don't want to go, please....." Erin pleaded, "Now I'll smell like gross mud stuff".
Frodo turned towards Erin and looked at her with pleading eyes, "We have to, Erin. There's no other way," he said, softly.
"I'm coming," Erin sighed.
Frodo smiled and they walked towards the marsh. "Careful, Hobbitses!" Gollum said.
"When will he get it out of his stupid little mind that I'm not a hobbit," Erin thought to herself, rolling her eyes.
They continued walking and stumbled a bit here and there. Erin closed her eyes tight and tried to pretend they were somewhere else, when Sam interrupted her thoughts, "Eugh!" he cried in disgust, "There are dead things.......in the water!"
"WHAT!!!!!!!!" Erin screamed at the top of her lungs.
Her eyes flew open and she looked down and quickly turned away. Gollum turned to them, "Quiet! the orcses can hear" he warned, "Do not follow the lights, the spiritses will take you!"
"What are they?" Sam asked.
"Orcses and Elves, they died in a great war," Gollum explained, "follow me!"
"ew, ew, ew, ew," Erin muttered under her breath.
"It's going to be ok," Frodo said, into her ear and took her hand in his, "Just look away".
Erin turned away as directed and kept walking. Soon, she felt Frodo's hand slip from hers. She kept on walking, not looking back.
Frodo lingered behind. No one noticed. His eyes caught one of the dead elves in the water and he stared at it intently, it's eyes opened. They were a very light blue color. "Frodo, are we almost there?" Erin asked.
When there was no answer she stopped. "Where's Frodo?" she asked Sam.
"Mr.Frodo?" Sam said, and turned around to look behind him.
Erin looked too, just in time to see Frodo fall forward and straight into the freezing cold water. "FRODO!!!!!" She screamed.
Her eyes widened. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she cried, tears forming in her eyes, "GET HIM OUT, GET HIM OUT!!!"
"I warned the hobbitses, but they didn't listen to us," Gollum said.
"Don't just stand there!" Sam cried, "get him out!"
Sam and Gollum ran ahead but Erin didn't follow. She started to feel dizzy and dropped to her knees. Next thing she knew, she fell backwards.
*******************************************************
Frodo saw mist all around him. White figures swam all around. He flailed his arms and tried to swim, but they held him down.
An ugly white face leered at him. It opened its mouth and made a silent scream, floating right towards him. Frodo started to panic and thrashed around in the water, trying to reach the surface.
Before he knew what was happening, two skinny arms grabbed hold of him and pulled him up, out of the cold water. He hit surface and saw that Gollum pulled him out. He coughed and choked, looking around to see Sam staring at him, "Are you alright, Mr.Frodo?" he gasped.
"I'm fine," Frodo said, starting to get up.
He looked around and then something hit him, "Where's Erin?" he asked.
Sam turned around, "She was right behind me a moment ago!" Sam cried.
"ERIN!! ERIN! WHERE ARE YOU!" Frodo called, "You were supposed to look out for her, Sam!"
"I'm sorry, Mr.Frodo," Sam said, pleadingly.
"no, no, no," Frodo mumbled, "Where is she!"
Sam bowed his head, while Gollum looked around. Tears started to pour down Frodo's face and he started to sob. He wiped the tears away angrily and looked at Sam, "YOU!! YOU......." he didn't finish, but started to cry again.
"Hobbitses!! over here!" Gollum suddenly cried.
Frodo leapt up and ran over to where Gollum stood. Gollum pointed into the water. A spirit was floating towards them, with Erin laying unconcious in his arms. "ERIN!" Frodo cried.
He reached out for her and pulled her onto the grass. Erin didn't stir. "Erin, wake up!" Frodo cried, shaking her.
He pushed up and down on her chest and finally Erin choked and spit out water. She opened her eyes. "Erin, I thought I'd lost you," Frodo said, softly, tears pouring from his face to hers, "What happened?"
"After you fell, I fainted," Erin paused and coughed, "the spirit took me, but he told me he doesn't harm a women with a child, he brought me back".
Frodo hugged Erin tightly, never wanting to let her go again.
*******************************************************
Finally, the four stopped and decided to rest for the night. Erin immediately dropped to the ground. Frodo layed down beside her. "Goodnight, Frodo," Erin said, yawning.
"Goodnight," Frodo said, kissing Erin softly, "Goodnight Sam, Gollum!"
"Yea, what he said," Erin said, sleepily.
Erin fell asleep a couple of minutes later. Frodo didn't, he knew he'd be up most of the night.
Hours passed and Frodo took out the ring and stroked it. He heard someone mumble and quickly put it away. He jumped up and quietly crawled over to where he sat.
*******************************************************
Erin awoke when Frodo got up, but she didn't hear much after that, only bits and parts of a conversation.
"Smeagol, that's your name isn't it?" Frodo asked.
Erin also heard. "You were once something like one of us, a hobbit," also said by Frodo.
After that she only awoke again fully when she heard a cawing noise from up above. Sam jumped up. "Riderssss!" Gollum hushed, "Over here!!"
Erin got up and followed the three over to a nearby bush. They almost reached it when Frodo collapsed and clutched his chest. The memories came back to him just like it was happening right then. The dark rider over him. Striking him with its blade.
Erin understood immediately what had overcome Frodo and grabbed him quickly and pulled him to the bush. "I thought they were dead," Sam whispered.
"They never die! the horses are dead, but they live, they have dragons now," Erin whispered, as the dark rider flew over them.
