After Frodo's realization of how they were going in circles, and his warning that they were not alone, they settled down to an uneasy sleep under a cliff.
Sam tossed and turned around on the hard floor, drifting in and out of sleep. With a start, he woke up once again to the darkness blanketing the land, the foul odor of a bog nearby, and Mister Frodo sleeping next to him. With a sigh, Sam relaxed slightly, seeing that there were no dangers nearby, and sunk back into the blissfulness of sleep.
A dark shape loomed over their heads drawing nearer and nearer.
"The thieves! The thieves! The filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where isss it? They stole it from us. My preciousss."
The dark shape climbed down further, growling and speaking louder and louder.
"Curse them! We hates them! It's ours, it is…" the dark shape reached out with its grimy claws towards Sam and Frodo…
"and we wantssss it!"
With a startled yell Sam woke up and wrestled the huge creature onto the ground. There was no time to think, no time to yell a warning to Mister Frodo. It was all he could do to pin the grimy talking spider onto the ground.
It yelled and shrieked, putting up a mighty fight, but somehow Sam was able to get his hands on some rope and tie the gigantic spider up.
Turning around, Sam saw that Mister Frodo was gone.
"Mister Frodo?" questioned the blond haired hobbit hesitantly as he glanced around, trying to see through the dark.
"SAM! HELP ME SAM!"
"MISTER FRODO! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sam glanced around quickly and tried to follow the direction where he had heard Frodo call out.
"SAM!
Suddenly Sam was being shaken to and fro by an invisible force.
"SAM!"
With a start, Sam woke up from his dream and saw his companion, shaking him.
"Are you alright, Sam?" Frodo said worryingly.
"What happened Mr. Frodo?"
"Gollum was trying to attack us in our sleep. But you managed to subdue him and tie him up."
"Gollum?" said Sam confused. Didn't I tie up a big spider?
Turning around, Sam saw that Gollum was tied up so well that the only thing he could do is whine, moan, and wriggle without moving anywhere.
Guess my dream was true…
