Chapter 15
The Well/The Bargain/Gollum and Smeagol's Waltz of Treachery
Aria was humming a Castle on a Cloud to herself when she saw a man come up to her and she hid behind a tree. Then he began to talk to her softly.
(Aragorn)
Hush now,
Do not be afraid of me.
Don't cry,
Show me where you live.
Tell me my child, what is your name?
Aria looked at him and then shyly replied.
(Aria)
I'm called Aria.
Aragorn smiled softly at her and said in a kind voice. "Mademoiselle, can I help you with your bucket?" Aria smiled at him and kindly nodded at him. They went back to the inn as they played a little bit and then Aria looked in the window to see the beautiful doll. Aragorn smiled at her and they were back the inn. That was when Aria began scared when she saw Gollum and Smeagol. Aragorn looked at them as he begun to say.
(Aragorn)
I found her wandering in the wood
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here to help Aria
And I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay what I must pay
To take Aria away
There is a duty I must heed
There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need
I did not see what stood before me
Now her mother is with God
Galadriel's suffering is over
And I speak with her voice
And I stand here in her place
(Aragorn bends down to Aria and smiles.)
(Aragorn)
And from this day and evermore
(Gollum)
Let me take your coat, M'sieur...
(Aragorn)
Aria shall live in my protection
(Smeagol)
You are very welcome here.
(Aragorn)
I shall not forget my vow
(Smeagol)
Take a glass.
(Gollum)
Take a chair.
(Aragron)
Aria shall have a father now
Smeagol garbed Aria hard by her arm and yanked her toward him and Gollum. Holding her tight.
(Smeagol)
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry a treasure away?
What a gem! What a pearl!
Beyond rubies is our little girl!
How can we speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Aria!
Dear Galadriel, gone to rest...
Have we've done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread. Shared each bone.
Treated her like she's one of our own!
Like our own, M'sieur!
(Aragorn)
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now, may I say, we now agreed?
(Gollum)
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do!
(Smeagoll and Gollum)
One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offence. Please reflect.
Your intentions may not be correct?
(Aragorn)
No more words. Here's your price.
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.
Come, Aria, say goodbye
Let us seek out some friendly sky.
Thank you both for Aria
It won't take you too long to forget.
Gollum shoved Aria to Aragorn with a hard shove that she almost fell on the hard floor and quickly took the money from Aragorn and smiled with Smeagol. While they were both shouting "Our Precious!" Aragorn gave Aria a new clock and hat to wear and a new doll. The doll from the shop across the inn. She hugged very tight and he hugged her back and carried her to a new place for them to live.
(Aragorn)
Come, Aria, come, my dear
From now on I will always be here
Where I go, you will be.
(Aria)
Will there be children and castles to see?
(Aragorn)
Yes, Aria, yes, it's true.
There's a castle just waiting for you.
There's chapter 15. Before I forget, if you all go on YouTube look up Lord of the Rings and Les Miserables together. There are a lot of good videos. I hoped you all enjoyed.:)
