An- Hey everyone! Here's our first post in 2009! Hope everyone had a great holiday! So here's a rewrite of The Breaking of the Fellowship, courteous of Jane!

l.l.l.l

"Where's Frodo?" Aragorn asked suddenly, looking at them all.

As this question hit her, Erin looked around her frantically. Her eyes found Boromir's shield, lying against a tree, it's owner gone. "Oh no." She whispered, jumping up from the log she'd been sitting on. She grabbed her knapsack and ran into the woods. She knew what happened during this part of the movie, and she wanted to be there for it.

"Frodo!" She yelled, running between a couple of trees and vanishing.

"Erin, what the hell -? Don't go in there alone!" Jane yelled at her, jumping up from the ground. "I'll be back." She said to the group. She grabbed her sword, tied it to her belt, and ran after her friend.

"FRODO WHERE ARE YOU?!" Erin yelled, searching for him. Tree branches kept hitting her in the face, but she didn't care. Things were being set in motion now, and she had no intention of being left behind. Jane caught up with Erin, grabbing a hold of her knapsack and stopping her in her tracks.

"Jeez, you're fast." She panted. "Erin, what are you doing? I'm sure he's fine, he just went for a walk with Boromir or something."

Erin, who'd had her back to Jane until now, turned on her, yanking her backpack out of Jane's grip. "Have you completely forgotten the last half-hour of The Fellowship of the Ring?" She snarled, a sudden burst of impatience hitting her.

Jane's eyes widened as she remembered. "Oh no. Boromir, and Frodo, and the battle and - " She looked at Erin, her eyes widening. "You're leaving." She whispered.

"Yeah," Erin muttered, " I'm leaving soon with Frodo, which is why we have to find him. Come on!" She ran forward, expecting Jane behind her. When she turned around a few paces later, Jane hadn't moved.

"Come on!" Erin called, motioning with her arm.

"Do you really think it's the right idea to go with Frodo to Mount Doom?" Jane asked, a frown creasing her brow. "You're pregnant. Or have you forgotten?" She added sarcastically.

Erin rolled her eyes, but didn't answer. She would really have rather avoided this confrontation. She shook her head and continued walking.

"You're being selfish, Erin." Jane said quietly. Even though she was far away from Jane by now, she could hear the girl's words in the silence of the forest. Erin turned around to meet Jane's icy look. "It's not like it's always been; It's not just about you anymore. You could kill your baby, and yourself."

Seething, Erin met her intense gaze. She didn't want to say the mean things flying through her mind. She couldn't hurt Jane. Not when this could be the last chance they'd ever see each other. She took a deep breath, steadying herself. "You don't understand, Jane. You've never been in love. I have to go with him."

Erin turned and walked onward, looking about herself for any sign of Frodo or Boromir.

"Erin, you read the Goddamned books!" Jane exploded. "You know he survives!" She ran over to Erin and grabbed a hold of her shirt. "Why can't you just come with us and wait for him?!" She asked, something close to desperation creeping into her voice.

"Because what if us being here will change things, Jane?" Erin answered quietly. "Things might not go the way we expect them to. "

A pained look on her face, Jane exhaled, closing her eyes and resting her head against a tree. She opened her mouth to respond, but at that moment, they heard Boromir's yell ahead of them. For a second, they looked into each other's eyes. "Go." Jane whispered, nodding.

"I love you." Erin hugged her, and Jane returned it. "I'll see you again." Jane whispered in Erin's ear as they embraced.

Fighting back tears, Erin let go of Jane, and without looking at her again, turned and ran towards the sound of Boromir's cries. Towards Frodo.

.1.1.1

On her way back to their camp, she met Legolas, Gimli, Carla and Niori running towards her. "What's going on?

"We're being attacked!" Niori answered, as if it was the most obvious answer in the world. (And since Jane had read the trilogy at least 5 times, it was). "Where's Erin?"

They kept on running, and Jane turned around and went back the way she came with them.

"She's with Frodo." Jane said simply. The deadness in her voice made Carla and Niori turn to look at her with concern.

"She's gone?" Niori whispered, her face coming close to crumbling.

"We'll see her again." Carla said reassuringly, patting Niori on the shoulder. "Anyway, let's not focus on that right now. We'll have to fight for our lives soon."

"Speaking of which, have any of you actually fought to kill before?" Legolas asked them.

"Yes, Legolas, " Carla answered sarcastically. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Jane found it rather remarkable that she could still be so sardonic. "I once dueled my brother to the death. It was pretty awkward explaining it to Mom and Dad. "

He rolled his eyes. "I will take that to mean 'no'. Prepare yourselves, then. This is not going to be easy."

Jane's stomach dropped out, as the fear overwhelmed her. "We're going to die." She said weakly, as the huge amount of Orcs Aragorn was fighting came into their view.

"No, we're not. We can do this." Niori said firmly, as she stopped running and strung an arrow. With a wild cry, she began sending off arrows, while Jane and Carla stood around her. An orc came charging at them, with a couple of cries, both girls struck the orc in the chest, taking him down.

Erin followed Frodo onto the beach, where a boat rested.

"I must go alone from here, Erin. This is my task." Frodo said with difficulty. He ran towards the boat.

"Frodo, I'm coming with you." Erin said stubbornly, following him to the little boat. "You are not leaving me behind."

"No, Erin, you can't." Frodo said painfully, loading his small bag into the boat. "I am going on a very dangerous mission! I cannot put you in such danger, especially since you're carrying our child."

Erin shook her head. "Frodo, we've already been through this. Besides, whatever happens now, we'll be together as a family. I can't go anywhere without you." She said, her voice becoming thick with the tears she was fighting.

He grimaced, clearly having an internal battle. He didn't have time to have a fight with her. He sighed. "Alright. Get in the boat, Erin." He finally said. Without another word, Erin stepped into the little boat, and Frodo pushed it off the shore, then quickly jumped in after her.

As Frodo passed Erin one of the oars, they both saw Sam running along the beach towards the water, waving his arms. "FRODO!"

"Go back Sam, you can't swim!" Frodo yelled back, anguish in his voice as Sam ran farther into the deepening waters. The boat continued to float father from the shore.

"Sam, no!" Erin yelled, her fingernails cutting into the edge of the boat.

"NO! SAM!" Frodo screamed, as Sam's futile attempts to stay above the waters failed, and he sunk beneath the surface.

"We have to save him!" Erin shrieked.

He nodded, and immediately threw off his Elven cloak and leapt from the boat without another word. The boat rocked precariously, and Erin steadied it, anxiously scanning the waters for Frodo and Sam. Her heart hammered in her chest.

And then Frodo appeared right beside the boat towing a spluttering Sam. "Here!" Erin yelled, grabbing a hold of the drenched Sam, and pulling him onto the floor of the boat. She then grabbed Frodo's collar and yanked him in too.

"I made promise Mr. Frodo, a promise. 'Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee'. And after all we've been through, I don't mean to."

"Oh Sam," Frodo said, giving Sam a hug.
