MEMORIES OF THE PAST: Chapter the Seventh
"Why Kagome? Why did you stop me?" Inuyasha yelled at the girl who lay dying in his arms. Kagome smiled up at him as her eyes began to glaze over.
"B-because," She whispered weakly, reaching up to touch his face. "I can't let you die…Inuyasha." She said, almost inaudibly. She sighed once, her smile still etched on her face.
"Kagome! Kagome! No! No! Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted frantically, pulling the girl tight to his chest. "No….no!" Tears fell down his cheeks as he pressed her body to his own-the blood from several deep claw marks soaking into his kimono.
"Kagome!"
Inuyasha's eyes flew open and he lurched forward in panic.
"Come on, we've got to get going." Aragorn said, pulling Inuyasha to his feet.
Inuyasha shook his head, then stood to his feet as he watched Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli sprint ahead. A dream…it was just a dream…
:-:-:-:-:
Frodo and Sam clambered onwards, managing to make it to the top of the rocks. Looking out ahead, they could see the dark mountains in the distance and the red sky that hung above it.
"Mordor. The one place in Middle Earth we don't want to see any closer, but the one place we're trying to get to." Sam said as he stared at the mountains. "It's just where we can't get...Let's face it Mister Frodo, we're lost." He said turning to Frodo. "I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way."
"He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen Sam. But they did." Frodo said quietly. Frodo looked towards Mordor, and his eyes widened in fear as a eye that seemed to be made of flames flashed through his mind. Frodo exhaled sharply, and clung to a rock for support.
"Mister Frodo?" Sam asked in concern. Frodo sat panting for a moment and didn't answer his question. "It's the ring isn't it." Sam looked at his friend with worry.
"It's getting heavier." Frodo said between gasps of breath.
Sam sat down as well and began rummaging through his pack. Frodo took his water skin and drank from it quickly. "What food have we got left?"
" Well, let me see…" Sam said, continuing with his search. "Ah, yes, lembas bread." He said pulling a piece wrapped in a leaf out. "And look!" He added with a smile. "More, lembas bread." Breaking a piece off, he tossed it to Frodo who accepted it with a smile.
"I don't usually hold with foreign food, but this elvish stuff. It's not too bad."
"Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it Sam." Frodo said with a smile.
Sam shrugged and looked back up at the sky. "Those rain clouds might."
:-:-:-:-:
After dealing with rain the whole night, the two hobbits struggled as they trudged through the maze of rocks.
"Is it just me or does this place look familiar?" Sam grumbled to himself.
Frodo gazed around tiredly. "It's because we've been here before. We're going in circles."
Sam sighed in agreement then wrinkled his nose. "What's that stink? I warrant that there's a bog nearby. Can you smell it?"
Frodo walked up beside him, inhaling deeply. "I can smell it." He confirmed, remembering about who was following him, and how it was connected to Líndal.
"We're not alone."
That night, just after the hobbits made camp, Frodo could hear a faint rustling noise coming from above them. Feinting sleep, he and Sam waited patiently.
"The thieves. The thieves! The filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it?" A voice hissed, gradually becoming louder as the person or thing got closer. "They stole it from us! My precious. Curse them, we hates them! It's ours, it is, and we wants it!" by then the voice was hovering just above their heads.
Now!
With a yell Frodo and Sam sprang up and grabbed the thing by its arms, yanking it down as it screamed. The thing snarled as it whipped it's head around scanning the campsite. Seeing the ring that hang around Frodo's neck, its eyes widened for a split second before it lunged at him and the two of them scuffled as they tried to fight for it. Chaos ensued, and some how it somehow managed to get Sam in a reverse chokehold. Unsheathing Sting Frodo stuck the blade just under its chin, and glared at it menacingly.
"This is Sting." Frodo said softly. "You've seen it before haven't you, Gollum?" Gollum glared at him and tightened his grip around Sam.
"Release him or I'll cut your throat." Frodo threatened. Slowly, Gollum's grip slackened and Sam scrambled out of his grasp. Frodo stared him down for a moment when Gollum's face seemed to distort and he wailed in a high and loud voice.
:-:-:-:-:
Gollum howled as the two hobbits walked onwards with great annoyance. "It burns! It burns us!" He shrieked, as he stumbled after them, tugging at the rope that Sam had tied around his neck. "It freezes! Nasty Elves twisted it. Take it off us!" He begged as Sam yanked him along.
"Quiet you!" He yelled angrily. Frodo stared at Sam in mild confusion. He could swear that there was a red thing throbbing on the side of Sam's head.
"It's hopeless. Every Orc in Mordor's going to hear this racket!" Sam said in frustration. "Let's just tie him up and leave him."
"No!" Gollum's head snapped up, his eyes wide with fear. "That would kill us! Kill us!"
"It's no more than you deserve!"
Frodo watched Gollum wither on the ground and felt something stabbing at him. "Maybe he does deserve to die." He said more to himself than to Sam. "But now that I see him, I do pity him."
"We be nice to them if they be nice to us." Gollum promised. "Take it off us." He begged, tugging again on the rope. Frodo and Sam looked down at him with disbelief in their eyes. "We swears to do what you wants."
"There's no promise you can make that I can trust." Frodo snapped.
"We swears to serve the master of the precious." Gollum vowed with begging eyes. "We will swear on…" He looked around nervously then an anime styled light bulb popped up over his head. (Frodo and Sam just sweat-dropped) "On the precious! Gollum! Gollum!" He said in a voice similar to the sound a cat makes when hacking up a hair-ball.
"The ring is treacherous. It will hold you to your word."
"Yes…" Gollum whispered, crawling forward. "On the precious…on the precious."
"I don't believe you!" Sam roared, stepping forward. Gollum yelped in panic and scrambled away, only to be yanked violently back by the rope on his neck.
"Get down!" Sam shouted angrily, "I said, down!"
"Sam!" Frodo yelled, stopping him.
"He's trying to trick us! If we let him go., he'll throttle us in our sleep."
Frodo looked at Gollum who was gasping in pain as he clutched his throat. That stabbing feeling came back to him. Stepping forward, he looked down at Gollum.
"You know the way to Mordor." He said.
"Yes." Gollum said hesitantly. Frodo bent down and looked Gollum straight in the eye.
"You've been there before."
"Yes…"
Frodo took the rope that hung around his neck and pulled it off, much to Gollum's surprise. "You will lead us to the Black Gate."
