A/N: Hey guys. Just to let you guys know I won't abandon the one story that is on my profile. It is just on hold and I will finish that story when my muse is back. This is my first attempt to write Lord of the Rings fanfic. I hope you enjoy.

The chapters are going to be short but they are still going to be good.

Disclaimer I don't own LOTR But I do own the DVDs. This is the only time I will be doing this so don't expect another one at all.

Chapter 1 Prologue

Pippin heard rumors about Denothor around Minas Tirith about being cruel to people including his youngest son Faramir a brother to Boromir. He never thought the rumors were true but they were. The steward forced Pippin to talk about Boromir and when Pippin didn't want to talk about Boromir but he had to cause Denothor would hit him on the back or slap his face really hard, when he didn't say anything immediately. Pippin was scared of Denothor and he really missed Merry alot. But he knew someone was watching and he begged silently that this person would help him soon.

Faramir was afraid of his father and he knew Pippin wanted to be saved from his father but he wasn't brave enough to do it. So he kept an eye out for Pippin always, and he saw that his father wasn't feeding Pippin that much because Pippin looked thin way too thin. Also he noticed Pippin was exhausted, starving, and very tired.

Pippin seriously hated Denothor, he wanted to tell someone that Denothor was hurting and starving him. I miss you so much Merry, Pippin thought. He was walking down the hall when his stomach hurt and it has been hurting for about a month. That's because Denothor hasn't been feeding him that much food. Denothor blames me for Boromir's death, maybe his youngest son does too, he thought. He knew he had to appear strong but he couldn't do it any longer, so he was glad that Denothor didn't need him tonight. He stole a few scraps of food from Denothor's plate but that didn't satisfy his hunger at all, it just made him even hungrier. He didn't even know where his feet were taking him until he saw his room. He felt very dizzy and he was waiting for it to pass but the dizziness wouldn't stop so he fell forward and felt strong arms catch him and he passed out.

Faramir was walking along the halls when he noticed the Hobbit staggering to his bed chambers. So he followed Pippin to his room and noticed that Pippin was going to fall flat on his face if he didn't catch in time but he did. 'Oh Pippin, What has my father done to you,' thought Faramir. He put Pippin on his bed, and went to get Mithrandir and an hour went by and Gandalf was following Faramir to Pippin's room.

"It looks like he hasn't been eating for a month," exclaimed Gandalf, "what has Denothor been doing to him?"

"I don't know but I know he's been treating Pippin poorly," said Faramir.

Gandalf looked at Pippin and saw that Pippin lost his spark and glow and he knew that Faramir could do it.

"I'll take Pippin's place while you take care of him," said Gandalf, "and before you say that you can't you must. You must get to know him so there won't be any awkward silences between you guys ever since you guys met. There are five things that you need to know about his personality: Jokester, very talkative, always hungry, hyperactive, and protective. Oh and one more thing he'll think your Boromir and don't question him about your brother until he can trust you, okay."

Faramir had to think for a minutes and it would mean that he could get information about his brother when Pippin trusts him to tell him. He was both excited and nervous at the same time but he knew he could do it.

"All right I'll do it and become his friend," said Faramir. Gandalf nodded and got out of Pippin's room. Faramir went to the kitchens and grabbed a lot of food and brought it back and saw that Pippin didn't move but he was thankful that Pippin's chest was rising and falling.

A/N: Pippin is my favorite character besides Legolas and Aragorn. I hope you guys like the first chapter and the updates are going to be every Tuesday. Please Review and tell me what you think. The stories you have to look out for are:

Power series

Power of Trust

Power of Friendship and Love

Power of Loyalty=FOTR

Power of Strength=TTT

Power of Destiny=ROTK

These two stories I thought of when I was watching the ROTK. The power series are not connected to these two stories at all
