Smeagol+(Gollum)

=Smeagol (Gollum)= Smeagol was a hobbit from a respected family. One day, his birthday, he went fishing with his friend Deagol. Deagol fell into the water, and when he came up, he had a gold ring. Smeagol asked Deagol for the ring, when Deagol said no, Smeagol strangled and killed Deagol, took the ring and hid the body, so nobody ever figured out what happened to him. Shortly after this, Smeagol's family started calling him Gollum because of the weird noises he began to make in his throat. Shortly after this, his grandmother threw him out of her house. Gollum hated the light of the sun so he found a cave in the Misty Mountains where he ate fish and the occasional orc. He became obsessed with the ring, calling it his precious, but a small part of him still survived. His body changed too, he lost all his hair, became very thin, and since he was in the dark all the time his sight got better.

After many years, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the Shire, wandered into Gollum's cave. After a game of riddles, which Bilbo won after asking what was in his pocket, Gollum had to lead him out of the cave. Bilbo won accidently, after feeling the ring in his pocket and wondering aloud what was in his pocket, when Gollum tried guessing what it was, he got it wrong and Bilbo won. So when Gollum tried to get the ring from where he hid it, to sneak up on and kill Bilbo, he obviously couldn't find it, and then realized Bilbo had stole it. But Bilbo managed to slip on the ring and slip away, following Gollum, who was running to the door to trying to ironically catch Bilbo. Gollum hid by the door, and when he felt Bilbo jump over him, he tried to grab him, but he couldn't and Bilbo got away. Gollum did not follow Bilbo because of the light outside.

After a few years, Gollum finally worked up the nerve to go //outside!// He followed Bilbo under the cover of night, but was slowly moving south, towards Mordor and Sauron. He was captured and tortured as to where the ring was, it took awhile, because he was tougher than Sauron thought, but eventually they got the words //Shire,// and //Baggins// out of him//. After they got this ou////t// of him, they let him go because they thought he would lead them to the ring. But he was captured by Aragorn on the edge of the Dead Marshes, and was taken to Mirkwood and the Elves to be held captive. After about two months, Gandalf arrived and questioned him. He eventually learned everything, his murder, finding the ring, and capture at Mordor. Gandalf left after a week and left Gollum with the elves. He escaped from the elves when they were attacked by some orcs who were trying to bring him back to Sauron, but he managed to escape from them too. Chased by about everything, he went into the Mines of Moria.

He eventually made his way to the West Gate, but could not figure out how to open it. After not very long, the gates opened, and nine people came in, the Fellowship of the Ring, including Frodo Baggins, who now had the ring. He followed them through the mines, and when they got out, into Lothlorien, a forest filled with elves, where Galadriel rules. When the Fellowship was broken, he followed Frodo and Sam Gamgee. He was climbing down a cliff when they captured him. He swore on the ring that he would serve the master of the precious. Then he led them on a secret way to Mordor through the Dead Marshes. The Gollum and Smeagol halves of him had an argument when the hobbits were sleeping, and they slowly made a plan to lead the hobbits to Shelob.

The next day, they saw there was no way they would be able to get into Mordor through the Black Gates, so Gollum said there was a secret way. After they saw there was no other way the decided to take his advice.

They took the Stairs of Cirith Ungol, when the hobbits stopped to eat, Gollum went into Shelob's Lair and told her he'd brought her the hobbbits to eat. Then Gollum led the hobbits into Shelob's Lair, and abandoned them. Frodo and Sam escaped the tower, so Gollum had to track them.

Gollum finally found them with Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom. He attacked them, but Sam threatened him with Sting while Frodo kept climbing, and Gollum backed off. When they got inside, Gollum, not going to let his "precious" be destroyed, ran in and hit Sam in the back of the head. Then Gollum and Frodo fought over the ring, until Gollum bit off Frodo's finger and got the ring. But then Gollum fell off the Cracks of Doom and into the lava, killing himself, and destroying the ring....
