Chapter 1
Pippin: Anything?
Frodo: Nothing.
Pippin: What is going on?
Merry: That Black Rider was looking for something - or someone. Frodo?
PJ's the Fellowship of the Ring
Frodo didn't say anything. He looked past Merry doubtfully and
fearfully. Merry and Pippin were indeed his cousins but he
remembered what Gandalf had said to him, "Keep it secret, Frodo." He
walked away.
"Hey!" shouted Merry. Angered by his older cousin's deliberate
disregard, Merry reached out and grabbed Frodo's shoulder -
hard.
Frodo cried out.
"What's the matter with you, Merry?"
"I asked you, Frodo." Merry might be younger but he had a bigger and
more muscular body. Frodo stared at him now, anxiety filling his
widening eyes.
"I... I can't tell you," answered Frodo. "I can't tell you and
Pippin. The fewer people know the better. Now, would you please let
me and Sam go."
Frodo was about to walk again when Pippin stepped into his path.
"Pip," Frodo groaned. They reminded him of Lotho.
"Can't walk away from me or Merry, oh no, you can't. We've come this
far." Pippin smirked.
From the corner of his eyes, Frodo saw Sam approach. His companion
was growing suspicious. Frodo raised his hand to calm his gardener.
"Mr. Frodo?"
"It's all right, Sam," said Frodo. "My cousins wouldn't do anything
so stupid as to hinder me from my own journey."
"Where are you going, Frodo?" a slightly pushing tone was in Merry's
voice. "Or you can't tell me that either?"
Frodo was losing patieince. He was distressed enough by this ring
business without his own cousins troubling him.
"That's right! I can't tell you that either! stormed Frodo- Now,
get out of my way, or -"
Frodo didn't have a chance to finish his sentence as he was suddenly
slamed backwards against a tree.
"Mr. Frodo!"
His head hit the tree hard. Frodo blinked as if he had seen stars.
Frodo gasped. "Mer! What are--"
Merry pulled and pushed Frodo against the tree repeatedly - each
time harder than the last. If the first push merely surprised Frodo,
the second time completely knocked the wind out of him. He felt
like a rag doll and thought he might vomit.
The next terrible moment Frodo saw his loyal servant running to help
him. Frodo's relief turned to horror as he noticed the large chunk
of wood that Pippin gripped in his hands.
"Sam--" called Frodo feebly. Just as Sam was almost upon them,
Pippin came behind him, menacing glint in his eyes.
"Sam, look out!" Frodo yelled.
It was too late. Frodo heard a loud, sickening thud as Sam fell like
a fallen log.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! SAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!!"
Frodo ran to Sam's aid, only to be blocked by Merry. Unfriendly
hands pushed the distraught hobbit back. Frodo protested
heavily. "What are you doing?!! What do you want?!!"
Merry glanced at him coldly. "You know what I want, Frodo. I just
want to know what it is about." Frodo scowled at Merry in disbelief.
"But why?? Why is it so important for you? It's none of your
business!"
Suddenly Frodo heard something whispering. //Come. Come with me.//
Frodo jerked his head around in terror.
"Did you hear that?" He whispered, almost to himself. When Frodo
glanced back at Merry, he felt the hairs at the back of his neck
stand on end. Merry's eyes glinted strangely. Had Merry been seduced
by the ring?
Frodo's mind turned back to Sam? Was he all right? Was he dead?
"Let me see Sam!" Frodo insisted. He tried to push Merry aside.
"No," answered Merry firmly. "Not until you answer my question."
Merry summoned his younger cousin. "Pip!"
Pippin produced a length of rope from his cloak. Frodo gulped. His
cousins must have got mad!
Frodo backed down.
"I-I don't think that will be necessary," muttered Frodo.
"It will if you still don't wish to cooperate," replied Merry
evenly.
"I really can't tell you!" Frodo yelled as Pippin wrenched Frodo's
arms behind the tree and started to bind them. Frodo whimpered as
the cord cut deeply into his wrists.
"Done, cousin," said Pippin. Frodo glared at Pippin in terror as he
reappeared from behind the tree. What Pippin had done to Sam flashed
in his mind.
"You killed Sam!" hissed Frodo. Pippin shrugged nonchalantly.
"That's true when I last checked."
