It’s been two days after we arrived to The Black Gate, and we had to turn around. Smeagol was still leading the way, as he promised. I wondered if one day Sam could trust me….but I suppose it's a possibility.
But I’m happy at least to know that Frodo has some trust in me. but not only me. he also has trust in Smeagol. by our right there was a river.
“Be careful to not go too far, stinker!” holard Sam. he was saying this to Smeagol.
“Why do you call him that? trying to bring him down all of the time?” Frodo asked Sam.
“Because...it’s what he is….and it’s what you are too.” Sam turned his gaze to me. I couldn’t believe what Sam had just called me. Say whaaaat!? I was so shocked!
“Sam!” Scoulds Frodo. “Well, it’s what they are.” admitted Sam.
“Sally hasn't even done anything wrong at all! neither has he!” Frodo gestures to both me and Smeagol. But then his gaze stays fixed onto Smeagol who begins to playfully dart towards the river in an attempt to catch some fish.
“I want to help him, Sam.” Frodo confess. “I want to believe he could come back.” By that, I believe Frodo meant that he wanted to believe that Smeagol could still become the Hobbit he once was or to help release the burden of the ring from him.
“He won’t change.”
“AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?! NOTHING!!” Frodo raises his tone in hot anger. But with that, Sam simply started to walk on, but Frodo stood still. He didn't move an inch.
But after a moment, I noticed Frodo’s face changed his tone also changed in his voice. “I’m sorry, Sam…” Frodo started. “I don’t know why I said that.”
“Well I do Mr.Frodo.” Sam begins to approach. “It’s the ring. it’s taken hold of you, Mr.Frodo. I’ve seen you. you’ve barely eaten and you barely even sleep.”
Suddenly out of nowhere, Frodo became enraged for no reason and he shouts quite loudly…. “THE RING IS MINE! MINE!! MY OWN!!!” And with that, Frodo turned away and walked ahead.
“Do you even know what you sound like?!” Frodo didn’t bother to even shoot back a glance. He just kept on going. I slowly began trying to follow after in an attempt to keep up with frodo. I didn’t want left behind.
Deep down, just like Sam, I knew Frodo didn’t mean to say those things. It was just as Sam said-- it was the ring. I thought Frodo was now leading the way instead of Smeagol, because how far off he was darting. But then he turns around swiftly and screams in my face.
“WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?!” I jumped in startelement, feeling quite shocked and surprised and I stuttered…. “O-Oh, I thought...you were leading the way…”
“I’M NOT THE GUIDE! GOLLUM IS!! QUIT FOLLOWING ME AND GO TO HIM!!!” After Frodo finished screaming in my face, he headed off quicker to wherever he was off to. I slowly began to walk back over to Sam who was looking my way, he must have been watching. “Weir going to be staying around here for the day.” Sam informs. A good break did seem like something we all needed, especially Frodo.
I nodded. I felt so stupid and pathetic. It was a mistake to follow after Frodo. The reason he took off on us was to try to spend time alone. But here I am, a pathetic no good baby who was about to cry. Why must I always be so sensitive?
I swallowed and tried to speak. “...I got confused thinking instead of Gollum,... that he was the leader…” my voice was shaky, and I felt like I was literally about to burst out in tears now.
“I know what it was. you must have been worry about him. but don’t worry or get upset...that wasn’t him yelling at you just then….it was the ring.” Sam says to me.
“Right.” I replied. I went up to a rock and laid by back against it and had my arms wrapped around my legs as I held them tightly against me.
I hated how Frodo seemed angry with me. Who on earth would ever want their favorite fictional character to be mad at them, after all?! But I knew it was just as Sam told me-- it was the ring talking, not Frodo. I knew the next time I’d see him, he’d be smiling, back to his old self again.
I would have to eventually stop crying and try to make myself feel better. So I stood up, wiped the tears from my eyes, walked over to the stream, and sat down to watch the water flow. It was so peaceful and calming to watch.
“Here. some tissues.” I snap out of my thoughts and notice Sam holding out a small tissue next to me. “You got tissues on you?” I started, quite surprised.
“Never know when you’ll need to use them.” adds Sam. “Thank you.” I smiled before taking it. “
“No problem. if you need anything…..just tell me.” Sam returns a small smile before walking away. Sam may be a little cautious of me like Smeagol, but he still has a caring heart.
