Chapter 6

The wind blew threw my hair as Mysteri galloped her hardest. I realized that as I followed these trees, I was heading back to Isengard. This slowly processed through my mind and a foreboding feeling overcame me.

"The fastest you can go Mysteri, GO!" I dug my heels into her sides and she sped off. The wooded area I traveled behind slowly came to an end; Isengard. Mysteri skidded to a complete halt as I slid off of her. Trees, moving! Walking! Talking... My breath began to quicken, and my heart raced. I saw a tree with four small figures on it. Were those children? My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden breakout of arrows, rocks, and fire. The trees began to destroy everything! Anything in their path was obliterated. Orcs cried as some were squashed, hit, or pushed into the work pits. Suddenly, I let out a piercing scream as an arrow was misfired and pierced my forearm. Blood dripped through my sleeve and I fell to the ground in writhing pain. Suddenly, I heard water. There weren't any waterfalls around here, were there? Looking up with tears in my eyes, I watched as some trees broke the dam Saruman had built. The water rushed out and traveled down the hills. And there I sat, all alone, injured, right in the path of the rushing water. Mysteri let out a fearful neigh and sped off. I let out a scream as she rode away, then, something picked me up. A tree! I squirmed and wriggled, trying to free myself. Screaming as the water poured into Isengard. The work pits flooded and everything was destroyed. The tree held it's grasp on me as water rushed below us. I looked up and saw Saruman standing on the balcony. He was scared, and confused. He seemed to have found my eyes.

"I won't let you down." I whispered to him. I pulled out my dagger, my arm bleeding and hurting worse now, and stabbed the trees hand. It let out a cry and dropped me. The water took me as I fell, carrying me wherever it would go. Blood stained the water around me as I avoided every tree in my way. Soon, I found myself in a clearing. Sobs wrecked my body as I realized what had happened. Was Saruman dead? Why him? The one who had saved me, nursed me to health, and taught me everything I knew. The clearing was quiet, except my sobs, and the sun dried me up.

I stood up, sniffling and holding my arm, "I serve you forever Sauron." I dedicated my mission to him. Before I could move though, an arm was around my neck.

The dam was broken, and Gen and Diamond sat around waiting. They were also discussing something very serious.

"I swear I saw her!" Diamond blurted as they trudged through water. Merry and Pippin had gone to find food.

"I know, I did to..." Gen distantly said as she ran her hand in the water.

"It just doesn't even make sense. Out of the entire time we've been gone from earth, she shows up now?" Diamond threw a stick. Genevieve was in a state of shock. Had she really seen her sister? Suddenly, the neigh of a horse caught their attention. They stopped dead in their tracks.

"Did you hear that?" Diamond asked, Gen shook her head.

"Pip and Merry won't notice were gone." Gen said as they began to run. The neighing became more clearer and louder. Suddenly, they cane upon the poor horse. It's leg was hurt and it was limping around helplessly. Diamond tried to call it, but it would not listen.

"Come here." Gen said quietly as the horse got closer. It limped over to her outstretched hand, and nudged it's nose under her hand. It seemed to have known her her entire life! Gen smiled as the horse rubbed it's nose against her forehead.

"Gen, look." Diamond said standing next to the saddle. Gen followed her around and gasped. The name Ginger was carved into the side of the saddle. Her twin was her! In Middle Earth with them! A few tears of relief and joy slipped down her cheeks.

"Now, we have to find Ginger. She's alive."

Crap that light REALLY hurt. Our blindfolds were removed as Frodo, Sam, and I stood in a small circle. Men huddled around us as we all looked around in a panic.

"What the hell? Where are we?" I whispered as someone bumped into me. My wrists had dried blood on them from our bonds. Frodo looked around in fear, the ring was heavier and you could tell. Suddenly, Faramir approached us with an angered, totally pissed off look.

"My men tell me you are orc spies." he said eyeing us, he looked so damn familiar!

"Now wait just a minute!" Sam said stepping forward quickly, I pushed him back.

"Well if you're not spies, then who are you?" Faramir demanded with all seriousness. All of us paused and looked at each other. What were we supposed to say? We couldn't just say we had the One Ring with us!

"SPEAK!" Faramir interrupted my thoughts.

"We are Hobbits of the Shire. This is Karolyn Hadley and Samwise Gamgee." Frodo said in his really attractive, kind of British/American weird accent. I had just now realized that!

Faramir turned to Sam, "His bodyguard?" he asked rather rudely.

Sam glared at him, "His gardener." Faramir turned to me next, looked me over, and eyed me.

"His, soon to be wife?" Faramir half guessed and retorted with more rudeness. Frodo's cheeks grew red and he shook his head quickly.

"No. His best friend." I said through clenched teeth and a glare. It was all I could come up with. Frodo's blue eyes darted from me back to Faramir.

"And where is your skulking friend? That gangly creature? He had an ill-favored look..." Faramir trailed off with a glint in his eye. Gollum, I had totally forgotten about him! Where was that idiot now?

"There was no other." Frodo said looking up to Faramir, Sam and I looked at him with confusion and wide eyes. "We set out from Rivendell with nine companions. One we lost in Moria, two were my kin, and two other hobbits. A dwarf there was also. Two elves, and two men. Aragorn son of Arathorn and Boromir of Gondor." Frodo said nodding to us. What was he thinking?

"You're a friend of Boromir?" Faramir asked with wide eyes, and what looked like tears.

Frodo paused to think, "Yes... For my part." I scoffed at that comment.

"It will grieve you then to learn that he is dead." Faramir spat with a little but of tears in his eyes. I gasped, like a ton of bricks had hit me. Laura must be heartbroken!

"Dead?" I asked looking to the ground in shock.

"How? When?" Frodo asked with wide eyes as well, stepping forward a little.

"As one of his companions, I'd hoped you would tell me." Faramir said.

"If something has happened to Boromir, we would have you tell us." Frodo replied shaking his head.

"His horn washed up uon the riverback, about six days past. It was cloven in two. But more than this, I know it in my heart. He was my brother." Faramir said as he held back his tears. I let out a loud gasp and my hand flew to my mouth. That's why he was so familiar! They looked so much alike! Now, I regretted feeling so mean towards Boromir. Frodo turned back to us with wide eyes, he couldn't believe it either.

A few hours later and we were given a place to sleep. Sam had fallen asleep as soon as his head touched the ground. I missed home more than ever now. Looking down to my necklace I saw it was neither blue nor red. I chuckled to myself, it was sort of a moody bracelet! I heard some movement behind me as I sat on the ledge of a small cliff overlooking a pond.

"Do you mind if I join you?" I heard Frodo ask quietly.

Jumping a little, I spun around and tried to give him a smile, "Duh, why would I mind?"

Lie.

Frodo smiled in return and sat next to me, our feet dangling over the small cliff. It was quiet, and you could see the stars perfectly.

"Are you still upset with me?" Frodo finally asked breaking the silence.

I sighed, "No. Not anymore." I said turning back to him with a small smile. Why was he bringing this up? Agh!

There was another silence, "Do I really scare you?" he asked with wide eyes.

"Yes." I admitted truthfully, pulling my knees to my chest and resting my head on my knees. Frodo looked back to the ground with sadness. Well, it was his fault he scared me!

"Why?" I knew that question would come out eventually.

"Because I don't know what to expect out of you!" I exclaimed harshly.

"What do you mean by that?" Frodo asked facing me.

"I mean, the ring! It's controlling you! Sam and I see it everyday! It's growing heavier around your neck, your skin is green, you barely even talk anymore. I miss our conversations, before what happened in Lothlorien!"

Did I really just say that? I shut my eyes as the comment slipped and Frodo looked up to the sky.

"I miss them to." he said putting a hand on my shoulder. I looked at his hand and put mine on his. Was this really happening? Frodo smiled and squeezed it as we looked at each other. Shit. He began to lean forward. No no no! Once again, I put my fingers on his lips to stop. His eyes snapped open in confusion and disappointment.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just not ready to move on to that right now." I said, truly hating myself for saying it. Frodo nodded his head.

"Your right."

Silence. "Friends?" I finally asked sticking out my hand. He eyed it suspiciously first, then smiled. We shook hands.

"Friends." he said as we stood up. He walked me back to where Sam was sleeping and we laid down next to each other, and fell asleep.

Then, I was awoken by that horrible scream. Gollum.

"Don't hurt him! Don't struggle! Smeagol! Listen to master!" Frodo's voice said in my dream. Then Gollum's wails woke me up.

"MASTER!" he cried with desperation. Sam and I sat bolt upright. What the hell was going on? Frodo was then scrambling around the corner to here we were.

"What's going on?" I asked as we all scooted together. Frodo was panting and anger was all over his face.

"They've taken Gollum." he said through clenched teeth. I gasped and turned to Sam. Gollum truly was here?

"Stay here, girl!" we all heard a voice harshly instruct. We turned around to see a man throw a very weak looking woman on the ground. Standing up I walked over to the woman, just to see who and how she was.

"Miss are you okay?" I asked her from behind. She moaned and rolled to my side. I gasped. It couldn't be! She was here? I took a jump back onto my butt as this girl looked me in the eyes. There was no humanly possible way! She shows up now?

"Ginger?"

This girl stared at me as if she had known me her entire life! Why did everyone do that? I stifled a moan as I tried to sit up. The men that had captured me in Fangorn hadn't exactly treated me well. I was beaten up everywhere and starving.

"What?" I asked eyeing her suspiciously.

"It's me! Karolyn! Karolyn Hadley!" she exclaimed getting down next to me. I now realized how tiny she was! And how HUGE her feet were.

"I don't know you..." I said turning away from her.

"Ginger please! You've got to remember-"

"NO! I've had enough of the begging to remember! That's all people have said the past few days! I DON'T have a sister name Genevieve, this locker means NOTHING to me, and I don't remember anything from a past

life!" I immediately shouted with such fury I found myself holding the girl against the wall as she struggled immensely.

I heard more footsteps behind me. Turning around I saw two more small people, two men.

"Let 'er go you!" the fatter one demanded with his fists. I let out a small laugh as I let the girl go and scramble to her friends.

"Who are you?" the one with big blue eyes asked me.

"She is Ginger Nicks! This is Gen's twin sister!" the girl Karolyn exclaimed pointing at me. The two boys' eyes grew wide and they examined me.

"I can't believe I didn't see it before..." the fat one said shaking his head. The blue eyed one just stared at me with suspicion.

Soon, the three small people left me and I was all alone. Not for long though.

"Follow me." a deep, warm voice said behind me. I turned around to meet the blue eyes stare of the person I thought was Captain Faramir. He truly was handsome.

I immediately obeyed and smoothly followed behind him. I could here voices close by.

"We have to get out of here! You go, go now! You can do it, use the ring, Mr. Frodo. Just this once! Put it on. Disappear!"

The ring?

I heard more hushed whispers as we made our way in. Now the man seemed suddenly hostile, the air in the room grew tense.

"So this is the answer to all the riddles." he said storming in. The three friends stood in alarm.

"Here I have you, in the wild, I have you. Three halflings! And a host of men at my call. The ring of power within my grasp. A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality." yes it was Faramir! Faramir backed the "halfling" to the wall and pointed the tip of his sword towards him. Suddenly, a piercing ring filled my ears. I winced as I put my hand over one ear. Faramir lifted something on a chain from the halfing's neck. A ring. The ring Saruman had talked about! Suddenly, all went deaf and I couldn't hear a thing except my heartbeat. The look on the halfing's face showed true terror and anger. His face grew mad and he back away violently.

"NO!" I could see him yell. That's when I blacked out for a few seconds.

Ginger fell to the ground as Frodo yelled and backed away. I rushed over to her as she began to immediately wake up. She moaned and looked around confusingly.

"Come on Ginger, look at me." I said turning her face to mine.

Then, she said something I had been waiting for.

"Where's Genevieve?"

I squealed with happiness as we suddenly embraced. Then I remembered the situation currently happening behind me. I turned around to see Frodo pressed against the wall clutching the ring. The ring... It was calling to me.

"Stop it! Leave 'im alone! Don't you understand?" Sam said with pure rage in his eyes.

"He's got to destroy it!" I joined in standing between Sam and Frodo.

"That's were we're goin'. Into Mordor, to the mountain of fire!" Sam spat with teats. Faramir stood staring at us, Ginger stood up and looked around still confused. Then a man walked in and stood next to Faramir.

"Osgiliath is under attack. They call for reinforcements." he said in all seriousness as Faramir continued to stare at us.

"Please!" I said as I pulled Frodo from the corner, and clung to his arm. Faramir looked at me, then Frodo.

"The ring will go to Gondor."

I let out a frustrated scream as we were pushed back to our sleeping bags.
