A/N: Hello, me peoples! I was just laying in bed the other night after pretending to have a hot and steamy moment with Merry(which was absolutely AMAZING, by the way), and the thought entered my head: what was Merry thinking when Pippin found him after the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Well, here is what I think he was thinking. Hope you like it! :):):):):):)
--------------------------------------------------
I'm running. Running through the darkness. There are shadows all around me and icy hand are clawing at me, pulling me deeper into despair. The ground under my feet feels like shard of glass, cutting into my feet with every step. I can feel hot breath on the back of my neck as they draw nearer and my entire body is so cold. It feels as if icy daggers are stabbing me all over. The poison is gripping my heart, squeezing me so I can't breathe. I feel all hope drained from me, like I will never be cheerful again. I am deep in the void now, so deep that neither light nor hope can penetrate. But what's that? I can hear a familiar voice calling my name. A voice so familiar, I can almost taste it, but I just can't place it. Then, the voice goes away, seemingly gone forever. Then, I feel a pair of strong, gentle arms wrap around me, lifting me out of the shadow. I hear you call my name again, then, I remember: Pippin! I see a ray of light penetrate through the darkness; that ray of light is you. I hear you call my name again and I strain to open my eyes. I see you hovering over me with a tear-streaked, worried face. Then, I see you smile and that was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Oh, I knew you'd find me. I knew you'd come. If you hadn't found me, I wouldn't be here today. Come to think of it, you were that only one that was looking for me. Aragorn and Gandalf were in the Houses of Healing, tending the wounded; Legolas and Gimli were helping to gather the dead; Eowyn was wounded up in the Houses of Healing; Eomer was by he side; and Theoden King was dead. You were the only one that was looking for me; you saved my life that day. Seeing your smile beaming down at me, warming me like the sun, was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. To this day, I can't thank you enough. You found me when no one else was looking. When I opened my eyes and saw you hovering over me, I knew then and there that angels are real....because you are one. You held my hand in the darkness and you wouldn't leave me. I knew you'd find me.....
