Title: By His Side
Word Count: 100
Team: Hobbits
Characters: Sam, Frodo
Adult Content/Slash: Only if you read it that way... No.
Author notes: For the Fear Challenge, although maybe a little more subtle definition of fear. More movieverse than book.


He still remembered that day, early in their adventure. Heart pounding, voice pitched higher than usual, fear clutched his insides as he frantically searched around him. But he was alone; he had lost Mr. Frodo.

He had promised Gandalf that he wouldn't lose Frodo; more importantly, to himself, he promised that he would be with his master every step of the journey.

Now, little less than two years later, he felt that same fear. Though physically present, his Frodo was fading away, and Sam was once again losing him.

This time, no promises could keep him by his friend's side.
