Boromir looked a log floating in  the water ,two hands clutching it and a barely visible head, his eyes narrowed.

"Gollum has tracked us since Moria. I had hoped we would lose him in the river but his to clever waterman", Aragorn explained. I looked at it, knowing deep down that the creature was harmless,  just misunderstood as overly dangerous. If you knew enough and had smart moves, he, could do nothing at you.

The mountains started get bigger. We found a little island to rest. I sat down.

" And if he will alert the enemy of our where abouts it will make the crossing even more dangerous"Boromir said wearily. I have scary feeling in my gut that he will not be here for long. Something told me that his journey would be cut short.

"Minas Tirith is the safer road. You know it.From there we can regroup..strike out for Mordor from place of strength"he said to Aragorn. 

"There is no strength in Gondor that can avail us"Aragorn spoke calmly. "You were so quick to trust the elves. Have you so little faith in your people?"Boromir angrily asked." Yes there is weakness. And frailty. But there is also courage and honor to be found in men. But you will not see it!" He almost shouted. He felt betrayed. I was to. If he had no trust for Gondors people he had no trust for Elton. 

Boromir grabbed Aragorns arm turning him around. "You are afraid! All your life you have hidden in the shadows! Scared of what you are!"he barked.

 "I will not take the ring to Mordor leading hundreds of legions of Gondor"Aragorn snapped. I had enough. I set a flame between them. "STOP THIS!!I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR CHILDISH BEHAVIOR! YOU NEED TO GROW IN THE SAME MIND! I WILL NOT LOOK MY BESTFRIENDS AND BROTHERS CONSTANT FIGHTING!!!, You Boromir, are not exactly right and Aragorn. If you have no faith in your own people, maybe you are not the true king after all"I all but shouted to them. I stormed off and went to sleep. I knew I hurt Aragorn. But he needed to  see that his place was not to judge Boromir. He trusted his people. He knew his people. Having faith in them was good. 

Frodo sat next to where I slept. "Mom, are you alright?"he asked. I nodded. He yawned. "Come here"I said lifting my cloak so he fitted under it. He crawled next to me and soon we fell asleep, curled up next  to each other.

We soon started sail again. Boromir was trying to apology." Do I need to beg on my knees?"he cried. I snorted . Last thing he would do. His ego and pride were tosensitive for that.

 But next thing I knew was that he was on his knees in front of me "Please forgive me. I 'll do anything. I apologized Aragorn you can ask from him. Please"he begged. I could not look at it. I was not heartless. I fell to my knees also. I hugged him tightly. "I forgive you"I said to him. It was little muffled because me in my tall self reached to his chest still. He hugged me also like brother would hold his sister. I smiled at him when we pulled away. 

Then Aragorn came next to me. Before he could rant I hugged him. "I forgive you, but I need to apology to. I'm sorry for what I said. But you need to see what you are not be afraid"I said. He nodded to my shoulder where is head rested. We pulled away. And my dear second cousin winked at me again. I rolled my eyes but why on earth I am the only one that cannot be angry to him. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We sailed as Aragorn lifted his head , giving me a half smile. I looked the Argonath in awe. They were so huge.

"Frodo the Argonath. Long have I desired to look upon the kings of old. My kin"I smiled softly at the pride in his voice. I knew. Hey he is my best friend he tells me everything. Two statues at the Anduin were facing us. Their palms in warning. We were facing Mordor from north. Gimli and Aragorn bickered something only Eru has patient to listen. What is with Aragorn and bickering with everyone. 

"Sonja?"Boromir said coming next to me. "Yes?" "Promise me that even I will do something that my mind cannot reach you will not hate me"he asked. His eyes were clouded with.... tears? "I cannot hate you, my brother . Even if I wanted you I would need you to much to hate you"I told him softly honesty in my voice. He nodded smiling then walked away. After awhile I noticed one thing. "Where is Frodo?"I asked. "Boromir's gone to!"Merry popped out. Oh s*it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Aragorn were trying to find Frodo. We finally found him. "Frodo!"we yelled. 

"Ring it has taken Boromir!"he said fearfully. "Frodo calm down he was not in his right mind it's your job to bear the ring"I softly said. "Why don't you take it!"he snapped at us. 

The ring was whispering how good life I could have as the lady of fire. We slowly walked to him kneeling in front of him. We both closed our hands balling his out scretched hand in to fist over the ring. "Because we don't want it"Aragorn spoke. 

"I would have followed you everywhere" he said. "And I will be with you through that bracelet. You are like my own, I love you never forget that"I said. Kissing his forehead. Then we saw something horrible. Hundreds of uruk-hais charging towards us. "Run"I told to Frodo. "Run!"Aragorn said more sharply. Frodo ran away. I looked after him remorsefully. Other promise broken.

 We drew our swords. "Be safe"Aragorn said before charging the Uruks. We fought next to each other like we used to. Killing and slashing the orcs down. Making sharp moves, but still doing it with caution.

 Then three blows of horn were heard. "Horn of Gondor"Legolas yelled. My blood ran cold. Time slowed down.

 I didn't think, I ran. Fast as my legs carried me. When I finally got there Boromir was on his knees three arrows in his upper body, hobbits carried away by orcs one big trying to shoot Boromir. My palms started to get warm I knew what was happening. 

Anger took over. He wounded wrong girls brother.

"You low lands piece of S*IT!!", I screamed and I charged it. Fought it. Burning it's hair and part of its face making it scream in agony. He fell to his knees.

"Not so fun now is it", my voice was bestial. I slammed my knee to its groin. Hard. Then took its head into my hands. Slowly very slowly burning it. Making it feel all the agony he could. It screamed very loud. Then  Aragorn slashed its head of. 

I looked at my hands. I-I became. A-a Beast. So sadistic. What have I done?

But understanding what was happening I ran next to Boromir. "They took the little ones"he gasped. "Frodo where is Frodo?"he asked. "We let him go"I told caressing his pale cheek. "You did what I could not. Forgive me I did not see it. I've failed you all"he gasped out. 

"No you fought more bravely I have ever seen anyone. You have kept your honor, I love you so so  much. You hold a piece of my heart"I said with sob. He cannot die.

 Aragorn came next to us and tried to take the arrow out. Boromir stopped him. "Leave it. World of men will fall and and all will come to darkness and my city will ruin"he said. "I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you I will not let the White city fall...nor our people fail"Aragorn promised. "Our people?Our people"Boromir said reaching for hilt of his sword. "I taken care of you my sister and would have followed you my brother..my captain.. my king take care of her"he wheezed. Then no heart beat no breath. Aragorn placed kiss on his forehead. "Be in peace son of Gondor"he whispered. I kissed both Boromirs eye lids tenderly. Then I stood up I cant take this. Hobbits gone, Gandalf and Boromir....

"NOOOOO!!!"I roared and fell to my knees, my palms erupting with fire.
