Part nine: Lord of the Things
“I sure miss Gandalf,” said Frodo. “Me too. Mister Frodo, how long will it be till we get to Mordor?” asked Sam. “About a couple of months,” said Frodo. “Why?” “Well, there’s no houses or nothing and I’ve got to go,” said Sam. “Sam, go on a bush or something,” said Frodo. “That might be dangerous. What if I accidentally go on an orc or a badger?” said Sam. “Well that’s the chance I’ll have to take,” said Frodo. After Sam went Frodo heard something. “Did you hear anything, Sam?” asked Frodo. “No,” said Sam. “I think we’re being followed,” said Frodo. That night Frodo and Sam didn’t sleep because they thought someone or something was following them.
“I hope Frodo’s alright,” said Merry. “Of course he is,” said Pippin. “He’s got Sam looking after him.” “AMBUSH!” cried Gimli. Orcs were all around them. “Surround the hobbits. Form a triangle,” said Aragorn. “Quadrilateral or isosceles?” asked Gimli. “What should we do?” asked Pippin. “Run!” said Merry. Pippin and Merry ran under Aragorn’s and Legolas’s legs. “Why, hello there,” said an orc. “Pippin, what do we do?” asked Merry. “Scream!” yelled Pippin. Pippin and Merry screamed, but the orc hit them on the head with the hilt of his sword. “Hurry Hadgar, take them to the leader,” yelled another orc. Then the orcs all ran away. “I’m glad that’s over aren’t you hobbits,” said Aragorn turning around. Then out of shock and indigestion he screamed. “Where are the hobbits?” asked Aragorn. “I think they were confused and ran,” said Legolas. “They don’t like us,” cried Gimli. “Hurry, we must find them!” yelled Legolas.
“Sam?” asked Frodo. “Do you believe in ghosts?” “I do at night,” said Sam. “Let’s just try to go to bed,” said Frodo. “Wait, what was that noise?” asked Sam. “Quick, pretend your asleep!” yelled Frodo. Then a deformed hobbit crawled slowly towards them and said, “They stole it from us Preciousss. Nasty hobbits. They stole the Preciousss, and we wants it!” Then Frodo jumped up grabbing the creature and throwing it down. “Well that was easy,” said Frodo. “Good job,” said Sam hiding under his covers. “Wait, Frodo, look out!” Then the creature jumped on Frodo looking for the ring. “Where’s Preciouss?” asked the Creature. “Oh, that’s what you were looking for? Here it is,” said Frodo showing him the ring. “PRECIOUS!” yelled the creature. Then Sam tied it up with his ferret. “That will hold him,” said Sam. Then the creature started crying, “Not fair, not fair hobbitses cheating using elvens ferret, not fair,” “Oh, shut up,” yelled Frodo. “But, it burns us!” said the creature. “Too bad,” said Frodo. “Listen, will you take me and my companion to the Black Gate?” “Only if you take tricksy ferret off poor Gollums foot,” said Gollum. “All right,” said Frodo reaching for the ferret. “Mister Frodo, don’t do it he’s lying like a dog he is,” said Sam. “I don’t care,” said Frodo untying Gollums foot. “Hurry Gollum!”
“Where are they taking us?” asked Pippin. “I hope to the Shire,” said Merry. “I hope Aragorn will rescue us,” said Pippin. “Why would he save you? You pushed Gandalf in the void, void, void, voi…” said Merry then slapping himself. “Maybe you’re right. Nobody likes me,” said Pippin. “That’s not true Gimli and Boromir like you,” said Merry. The orcs stopped their pace. “What is it?” asked one of the orcs. “Men. They’ve picked up our trail. Run!” Here ends Part nine and begins Part ten.
Part ten: Lord of the Things
“They’ve quickened their pace. Hurry!” yelled Aragorn. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli followed their trail. “I hope they’re all right,” said Gimli.
“Pippin,” said Merry. “Where are we?” “I think we’re at a forest,” said Pippin. “Though I know not which forest.” “Well we have to get out of here,” said Merry. Then they heard horses galloping. “Run!” yelled an orc chieftain. Then Merry got stabbed in the leg with a spear. “Pippin, run into the forest,” said Merry. “But what about you?” asked Pippin. “I’ll be fine just go on without me,” said Merry dramatically. “Don’t give me that,” said Pippin dragging Merry into the forest. “What’s going on out there?” asked Merry. “Riders from Rohan I believe,” said Pippin. Then they heard footsteps. “Pippin, was that you?” asked Merry. “No,” said Pippin. “Please, Pippin, don’t lie to me. If your footsteps sound like hurricanes tell me. You know that if that wasn’t you we’re going to be eaten alive. Please tell me that was you,” said Merry. “All right it was me,” lied Pippin. Then all of the sudden they started flying. “Look Merry I’m flying,” said Pippin. “Me too,” said Merry. “You’re not flying little ones,” said a voice. Then Pippin and Merry noticed that an Ent was picking them up. Pippin and Merry screamed.
“Gollum, wait up,” said Sam. “But master says hurry,” said Gollum. “He’s right,” said Frodo. “That’s what I told him.” “Well don’t be going so far ahead of us while you’re in the process of hurrying up,” said Sam. They all ran towards a swamp. “A bog he’s led us to a swamp,” said Sam “Well we did kind of follow him to this place,” said Frodo. “Yes, yes,” said Gollum. “They follow they do. They trust usss.” “There are dead things dead faces in the water,” said Sam. “Will you ever stop complaining?” asked Frodo. “Don’t look at them hobbits, or you’ll be down there as well,” laughed Gollum. Sam and Gollum went ahead but Frodo started looking at the faces wondering who they are. “This place gives me the willie billies. What about you mist… Where did he go?” asked Sam. “FRODO!” Then nothing happened, but Frodo started screaming. “Why is he screaming?” asked Sam. “Preciouss knows not the answer you’re looking for,” said Gollum. “I’ll save you,” said Sam pulling Frodo out of his trance.
“Hurry Gimli!” yelled Legolas. “I’m going as fast as I can,” said Gimli. “Oh no,” said Aragorn. “Everyone get behind this rock.” Then they saw a couple of men riding on horses. “Riders of Rohan, What news do you bring us from the Mark?” asked Aragorn. “Oh… yeah umm last night we uh oh yeah we killed the orcs that were heading towards Isengard,” said one of the riders. “Were there any hobbits?” asked Legolas. “Umm I don’t know,” said one of the riders. “We put them all in a pile over yonder.” “Ok thanks,” said Gimli. They ran towards the pile. “I don’t see them,” said Legolas. “That’s because they aren’t here,” said Aragorn. “They ran into Fangorn.” They walked into Fangorn swiftly and carefully. “I see something,” said Legolas. “The White Wizard.” “Where?” asked Gimli ducking down. “Don’t let him speak,” said Aragorn. “Now!” They turned around and there he was. “I give up,” said Gimli. Legolas shot him with one of his suction cup arrows, but he blocked it. Aragorn dropped his sword. “Stupid sweaty palms,” said Aragorn. “Show yourself!” “Hello,” said a familiar voice. “Please don’t hurt me,” said Gimli. Then Gandalf came up to them and said, “I am very tired.” “I thought Pippin pushed you into the void, void, void…” said Aragorn then slapping himself. “No time to talk we must hasten towards Rohan,” said Gandalf. Here ends Part ten and begins Part eleven.
