Chapter 13

Thank god Laura rowed the boat, me and Diamond wouldn't have been strong enough! We traveled for days on end, but the river flowed fast.

"This reminds me of that choir song Deep River!" Diamond exclaimed as she quietly whispered to me.

"How?" I asked turning to her, taking a break from rowing with Laura.

"Were on a river, that's deep..." she said sarcastically. Her eyes travelled to the boat Pippin was in, they waved and smiled at each other. My eyes moved to Frodo's boat. He was staring into the water, barely even moving. His hand was upon his chest, the outline of the ring was visible against his finger.

"A little help here?" Laura snapped at me pointing to the oar.

"Oh, sorry!" I replied quickly taking the oar, "Your next Diamond." I reminded her as she groaned.

Laura looked over to Boromir who was grinning at her, she blushed and waved at him.

"Mr. Frodo!" I suddenly heard Sam exclaim pointing upwards.

"Shit, look up Karolyn!" Diamond said pointing up as well. Following her finger, my eyes met two HUGE statues of kings pointing back. Arms extended, with looks of warning on their faces. I heard Aragorn begin to talk to Frodo.

"The Argonath, long have I desired to look upon the kings of old, my kin..." he said trailing off and looking to the statues. His face showed much respect for them. My size didn't even compare to the statues. We stopped and made camp on a shore. I sat with Gen, Diamomd, Merry, and Pippin, no Frodo. Sam was asleep against a rock and Frodo had wandered off to somewhere. Laura sat next to Boromir and Gimli. I turned to see Legolas and Aragorn talking to each other, but Legolas stared at Laura painfully the entire time. He loved her so much but she was in love with Boromir. And Boromir loved her. I felt bad for Legolas, we were in a similar situation! The people we loved didn't love us back.

"Karolyn?" I heard Diamond asked as I lost my thoughts.

"Oh, yep?"

"Do you remember Justin Bieber's song Never Say Never?" she asked smiling, I think she STILL had Bieber Fever...

"I only like the rap." I said as we began to sing.

Pippin covered his ears and let out a small yell.

"Don't sing it! We'll get sick!" he screamed. Haha, I had forgotten about that!... Diamond and I stopped singing and began to laugh, including Merry and Gen.

"What is so funny?" Pippin asked in a high pitched voice.

"You didn't actually believe that did you?" Merry asked slapping his cousin's back.

"That, wasn't true?" Pippin asked wide eyed. That's when we all burst into laughter.

"No you idiot!" Gen screamed with tears of laughter in her eyes.

"Don't call him that, he's my idiot!" Diamond said hugging him tightly. He smiled and hugged her back, wow I felt stupid. Frodo would never come near me again. I seriously hate love, I wish Freddie were here. I walked over to Sam and sat next to him.

"Hullo Miss Hadley." he said smiling.

"Hey Sam." I said patting his shoulder.

"Mr. Frodo told me what-"

"Please. Don't talk about it." I quickly silenced him with a finger to his lip.

"Sorry." he said blushing. I facepalmed and sighed. Why couldn't I just go home? Life sucks sometimes. Sorry, I'm in a depressed mood. I leaned against a rock and Sam reassuringly hugged me.

"Boromir," I heard Laura say. Opening an eye, I saw him plant a rather romantic kiss on her lips. I let out a loud "Ooooh!" as he smiled at her and walked off. Gen, Diamond and the other two were laughing and Gimli was clapping.

"Well done lad!" he called after Boromir. Then I began to wander, where was he going? Laura was blushing furiously! It was so funny! Then I looked to Legolas, who was walking to the shore. Poor guy... The laughter died down, and Sam and I laid back to sleep.

"Where's Frodo?" we all suddenly heard Merry say.

At this everyone, especially Sam, sat up. I shot upright and looked around, "Was I seriously the only one who noticed he wandered off?" I exclaimed.

Aragorn's eyes grew wide and he stared at me, "Where?" he asked me loudly, grabbing his sword. Legolas helped Gimli up as they gathered their weapons as well.

"Um, whichever way Boromir went." I said pointing off into the woods. Aragorn and Legolas looked to each other and nodded.

"Sam follow me! The rest of you go straight and find a path! We must find Frodo!" he instructed us as he grabbed Sam and ran off. Laura followed Gimli and Legolas.

"Crap..." Gen said handing us our swords.

"Somethin' is up with Boromir." Diamond said swinging her sword, nearly slicing Pippin. He caught her hand and held it still until we ran off. For about five minutes we tried to find a path. When we did find one, all of us were panting and scraped. Then, there was the horn.

"What was that?" I asked as we all froze. It sounded again.

"The Horn of Gondor!" we all heard Aragorn yell in the woods. We all gasped as we knew it was Boromir. Immediately we took off. There was a huge path now, so we stopped and caught our breath. Suddenly we heard marching. Looking up I saw orcs.

"HIDE!" I whispered pushing my friends behind a tree. I was trembling with fear. Where was Sam, Frodo, Boromir? Or Laura or Aragorn? Gen clung to Merry and Diamond held Pippin's hand. Suddenly I lost my balance in my squatting position, and fell backwards.

"KAROLYN!" Diamond shrieked as she tried to grab me. I saw everything spinning, and heard my friends screaming in a panic. How I didn't hit a tree I don't really know... I tumbled back to the campground. Everything was dizzy and my head hurt. I saw blood on the sand but ignored it, my Bible was on the ground infront of me. I heard the marching of the orcs in the distance. Tears formed in my eyes, and stung. I quickly grabbed my Bible and some Lembas, and made sure my sword was at my side. I ran to a boat rested against the shore and jumped into it. I pulled some coverings over me, hoping no one would find me.

About twenty minutes later, I heard someone approaching. I held my breath and hoped they wouldn't get in my boat. Of course they did, and the boat left the shore. The panting of this person's breath sounded so familiar. I noticed my necklace; red. What? Red? Why was this bad?

"Mr. Frodo!" I heard Samwise Gamgee call. My eyes grew wide as I laid there, I was in a boat with Frodo Baggins! Crap...

"No Sam." I heard Frodo mutter.

There was a splash and the boat came to a stop.

"Go back Sam, I'm going to Mordor alone!" I heard Frodo frantically beg his friend.

"Of course you are... And I'm coming with you!" Sam yelled as he trudged into the water.

"You can't swim... SAM!" Frodo shrieked as I heard the splashing silence. I panicked and heard Frodo reach under the water. I removed the covering I was under and watched from behind as Sam was pulled into the boat. He spat water and both were crying.

"I made a promise Mr. Frodo, a promise! 'Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee.' And I don't mean to, I don't mean to!" Sam said as they embraced. They hadn't even noticed me.

"I made that promise to!" I said with a sob. They both jumped and turned around. Frodo looked almost angry, but sad as he stared at me.

"Karolyn, I'm taking you back." Frodo said with frustration.

"I'm sorry! Okay? I'm sorry! Whatever you say won't change my mind! Because I don't mean to lose you either Frodo Baggins!" I said grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. He stared at me and nodded slowly. Sam just kept crying as well.

Laura had lost track of Legolas and Gimli as they ran. She decided to look on her own. Turning her head she ran into Frodo and they fell on the ground.

"Frodo!" she exclaimed as he sat up.

He hushed her and put his finger to his lips, "Don't tell anyone, and don't follow me." he whispered to her.

"Why?" she asked.

"You can't follow me! I'm going alone!" he responded as he ran off.

"Wait!" Laura called after him. He turned around and gave her a pleading look.

"Stay." he said sticking a hand out. She stood there awestruck. He didn't want anyone to go? He was always brave.

"Karolyn loves you!" she called as he ran off. Then, he was gone. A single tear escaped her eye. Suddenly, there was a loud blow of a horn. She gasped, Boromir! The sound continued and she followed it.

"HEY! OVER HERE!" her extremely good ears picked up. It was Merry!

"HEY ASSHOLE!" must be Gen...

"COME AT ME BRO!" that was Diamond... Laura ran though the trees and finally came to a clearing. An entire army of Uruk-Hai orcs were approaching! Merry, Pippin, Diamond, and Gen stood in the middle, throwing rocks to coax the orcs to them!

"Idiots watch out!" she said as she pushed them out of the way of an arrow. Immediately she began to notch arrows and shoot back. They were getting closer, and she knew she couldn't hold them back for long. Suddenly, Boromir leapt from behind a tree and shielded Laura and the hobbits from arrows. The orcs were right infront of them now. Boromir and Laura began to quickly kill any orc in their path.

"BOROMIR WATCH-" but it was too late, an arrow had struck his torso. The surrounding orcs cleared out of the way to reveal their leader. Nasty thing he was... Boromir stumbled and gasped for air while Laura became filled with anger. The hobbits stared wide eyed at the unfolding scene. The leader raised his bow and shot at him again. Laura let out a sob as she charged at the leader. He pulled out a sword and sliced her arm. She flew back and lay there crying. Everything was happening in slow motion. Boromir let out an angered war cry and killed two more orcs headed his way. Another arrow pierced him, this time in the heart. The hobbits cried and gasped, he was saving them.

"Boromir! NOO!" Laura cried out as he awaited one last arrow. Before he was shot, Aragorn pushed the leader away as they began to fight. Laura crawled to the dying Boromir and held him to her. He choked blood and breathed heavily.

"HELP!" the hobbits screamed as orcs took them. No one heard them.

"Don't go Boromir, please!" she wailed into his hair. Aragorn finished off the leader and ran to Boromir. He died in Laura's arms that day.

"I love you, my queen." were the last words he said to her. Aragorn took Laura into his arms as they sobbed. Legolas and Gimli later joined them as they sent Boromir down the falls. Laura watched painfully as he disappeared over the edge.

"We must follow Sam and Frodo! Karolyn is with them as well." Legolas said beginning to push a boat into the water.

"No! We can't! Frodo doesn't want us to." Laura said, head hanging.

"She is right, I myself spoke with him. The fellowship is broken. But we will not abandon Merry, Pippin and the girls to their fate." Aragorn said beginning to pack.

"You mean not to follow them?" Legolas asked, just to be sure.

Aragorn turned to all of them and smiled, "Let's kill some orcs." he said. Gimli smiled and let out a cry, as did Legolas. Laura chuckled, but tears still slid down her face as she looked back to the falls, and followed the trail to her friends.

Frodo, Sam, and Karolyn had travelled far. Closer to Mordor... The ring was heavy around his neck it seemed, and days seemed to drag on much longer. Karolyn's necklace kept to it's red color. As they stood before a steep hill, Frodo turned to look at his friends. Sam, always by his side and NEVER left his side. And then there was Karolyn, beautiful, funny, smart, and caring. She still hadn't earned his trust back though...

"Sam. I'm glad your with me." he said putting a hand on his shoulder. He then walked to Karolyn, who pulled him into a tight embrace. Tears streamed down her face and onto his cloak. He was caught off guard and awkwardly patted her back, but his arms slowly curled around her waist.

"I'm glad your here to Karolyn."
