The next day, we finally made it to The Black Gate. we were on top a high cliff. we were all four down low. Sam held his grip on a huge rock, peeking over to see the gate.

Smeagol was hiding behind the rock, worriful in fear.  He must be stressed over the idea of us being caught by our enemies close by.

The Black Gate was opening. It looked like a army of some sort was walking through the gate. how could we get in?

“Smeagol took nice Hobbites to The Black Gate, like Smeagol was told…” Smeagol whimpers. “How are we supposed to get in there?” started Sam.

Smeagol didn’t respond. suddenly I remembered from the Movie, they couldn’t go into Mordor from the gate. they had to go another way. a more secrete way….and now….I realized this is all my fault. I should have remembered from before that we could enter Mordor from this way, then we could just go the other way, the more secret way. And possibly the safer route.

I let out a loud sigh as guilt washed over me. My bangs hides my face from sight. “iIm so stupid….this is all my fault.” I mutter.

“What is?” Frodo managed to overhear my quiet mutter.

“I completely forgot in the Movie, you guys couldn’t enter into Mordor from The Black Gates, and had to go another way…”

YOU KNEW, BUT DIDN’T TELL US?!” Sam yelled angrily at me.

“...I….I...forgot...I’m sorry.” I apologised, hoping Frodo and Sam would find it in their hearts to forgive me. But I felt so guilty and sad about it, I felt like I was going to cry in front of them both. How pathetic.

I felt my face hot heat rising to my face and my eyes beginning to get warm as if tears may fall. how could I had forgotten that Frodo, Sam and Smeagol couldn't go into Mordor this way? I’m so stupid, and it’s all my fault. And now Frodo and Sam, who were my favorite characters in the Movie, will be angry at me….maybe even ask of me to leave…

AN APOLOGY WON’T GET US TO MORDOR!” shouts Sam. The tears im my eyes begin to fall.

“Sam--” started Frodo, sounding a little irritated,  but suddenly the side of the cliff Sam was on, crashed down, with Sam on it. Down below was dust from the cliffs ground crashing onto the ground below.

Two soldiers who was marching with the army through the gate into Mordor, noticed the dust and started to approach the spot where Sam had fallen, which was the spot the dust was coming from.

Frodo was starting to approach the edge of the cliff to slide down to Sam, I began to follow Frodo to go with, but he grabbed my arm with a gentle grip. “Stay here.” he slid down, which could have caught more attention but despite that, I stayed and watched, along with Smeagol. but tried to hide a little too, since the two guys

The two soilders were getting closer. Frodo then used his elven cloak to hide him and Sam so they could blend in with their surroundings and hide. The two men arrived, Frodo and Sam waited. Would they get caught? No, it worked!

The two men turned away and returned to the army. Frodo and Sam manages to climb back uptop the cliff to me and Smeagol.

“Sally.” starts Frodo. “Huh?” I responded. “You said we went another way to get into Mordor in the Movie.”

“Yes…” I answered.

“Which other way did we go to reach Mordor?”  

“No, Mr.Frodo.” starts Sam.

“What?” ask Frodo.

“It's a trick.”

I guess in the end Sam didn’t trust me less than he did with Smeagol….bummer.

“Sam, Sally hasn’t betrayed us, and neither has Smeagol. Smeagol also led us here as he said he would. they have been true to their word.”

Yay, Frodo’s defending me!

“No, Mr.Frodo.” repeats Sam gravely,  thinking this was no good idea to still have me and Smeagol come along.

“Which way did we went in the Movie?” Frodo turns his attention to me. “Smeagol led us to a dark or more secretive way.”

“Do you know which way she’s talking about, Smeagol?” Frodo faces Smeagol.

“O-Oh yes, there is a much darker and secret way into Mordor….yes, yes.” nods Smeagol.

“Then you can lead the way, Smeagol.” Frodo continues to put his trust in me a d Smeagol.

“But...maybe we could still sneak in…”starts Fodo as he turned his gaze towards The Black Gate. it was about to close.

NO MASTER!!” shouts Smeagol. “THEY WILL GETS ITTES! THEY WILL GETS ITTES AND HAVE THE RING AND BRING BACK SAURON!!! PLEASE MASTER, IT’S WHAT'S THEY’RE AFTER AND THEY WILL GET IT IF YOU GO!!! WE CAN GO THE OTHER WAY!! PLEASE MASTER!!!” begged Smeagol as he began hugging Frodo's arm.

The gate was slowly beginning to shut. All Frodo was able to do was watch it shut. there was a loud clunking noise that echoed when it shut.

Smeagol felt guilty, and he buries his head into Frodo’s arm, feeling bad that they couldn’t do anything but to turn around and go the other way.

Frodo is very disappointed and saddened that all this traveling to the gate was all for naught, but he knew they couldn't just give up. The fate of Middle Earth was in their hands.

“Lead the way Smeagol.” Frodo turns his gaze from the gate, and back to Smeagol.

“Good Smeagol always helps.”
