Soon enough I felt I knew nothing of where I was. I lost all sense of familiarity with my surroundings. All I saw was darkness. All I could do was walk and sometimes be tossed over what it feels like hands that would grab me up, and sit my feet back on the ground. Then it would seem I'd be guided or pushed.

But I couldn’t help but to think about Frodo and Sam. sometimes Smeagol would pop up in the back of my mind as well. but somehow or other, Smeagol seemed to escape. I wonder if he will be coming back to us, or if abandoned us….

Later I could feel my feet get tired and sore, along with my legs. I wondered if I would ever be unblinded or if it will be always like this...I knew I would have to be unblinded sometime….right? I thought too soon. I find myself blinking as I felt my blindfold being taken off.

All I saw in the beginning was harsh, blinding light. but soon enough, my vision became clear.I saw some strangers and it looked like I was inside a cave. my hands were still binded though.

I glanced over towards my right to see Frodo beside me. he gave me a small smile, and I smiled back. I was glad he was alright and we were together. but what about Sam?

I noticed Sam when he popped out by Frodo’s other side and he smiled at me as well, and returned a smile. We were all three safe.

Both of their hands were bound just like mine. But one question has still remained unaswered. Where are me? I should seriously remember since I've easily rewatched the Movie countless times-- but why of all in the sudden must I forget? Why now?! Must... remember!!

 The guy I recognized from one of the Movies,  Boromir's younger brother, Faramir, approached me, Frodo, and Sam. “Now I’d like you three to tell me what you spies were

doing--”

“spies?!” Sam bursted out in shock. “Then what are you?” Faramir cuts to the chase. “Speak

now.” After a short moment of silence, Frodo spoke up.

“We are Hobbits of the Shire...Frodo Baggins is my name. This is Samwise Gamgee.”

“your bodyguard?” Interrupts faramir. “His gardener.” Sam corrects him.

“And who are you?” Faramir turns his attention to me. “Sally.” I answered him.

“And you?” Faramir was asking what I was. Frodo is a Hobbit of the Shire, Sam is Frodo’s gardener….what was I?

I was silent, thinking for a moment. “And who are you?” faramir repeated. He was clearly becoming impatient.

“I’m....” I started.

“She’s our companion.” Frodo answered for me.

“So she’s your companion?”

“Yes.” Frodo responds.

"And he is your gardener?”

“yes.” Frodo answered once again. “And where is your scaly friend?” Frodo was silent for a moment just like the rest of us. He must have been talking about Smeagol. “He had a ill favored look.” Faramir added.

“There was no other.” Frodo starts. “We set out from Rivendell with seven companions. One, we lost in Moria. Two, were my kin. A Dwarf there was also, and a Elf. And two Men...Aragorn son of Arathorn, and Boromir of Gondor.” Finished Frodo.

“Were you a friend of Boromir?” asked Faramir.

“...Yes.” answered Frodo. “From my part.”

“Does it grieve you then….to learn that he is dead?”

“Dead?” Questioned Frodo. “How? When?” “As one of his companions, I hoped you’d tell me.” Faramir replied. “if something's happened to Boromir, we’d have you tell us.” ask of Frodo.

“His horn was stuck on the river bank. but six days past, it was cloven in two. I knew it in my heart...that it was my brother.”
