"Merry?" Pippin called out searching for his cousin. "Where are you?" Pippin saw merry standing in front of him. He seemed so close yet so far away. "Merry!" he yelled running towards him. As he ran he never got any closer he only got farther and farther away. "Come on, Reach Pippin." Merry whispered to him holding out his hand. "I'm trying Merry, I'm trying."
Pippin reached and reached as far as he could but Merry never got any closer. He never got close to holding Merry's hand in his own. Just then he was on a Battle field dressed in armor. He felt out of place like he was there but he wasn't like he couldn't help anyone or do anything. He looked around him confused and scared.
Pippin saw Gandalf easily slaying one orc after another. "Gandalf! Gandalf! What am I doing back here!?" Pippin tried to get his attention. No response. "Aragorn! Legolas! Gimli!" he yelled. There was Still No response. "Is no one listening to me?" he cried out. "Where is Merry? He will listen to me." He looked around searching for Merry. What he saw devastated him. He looked out in horror.
An Uruk-Hai had come up behind Merry. He tried to warn
Merry but not words came out of his mouth. The orc had raised his axe up high and struck him across the back. "Merry! No no no no no no no Merry!" He cried out falling to the ground on his knees crying unable to move to help his cousin. The Uruk-hai walked over to Him. He raised his Axe up high. Pippin just sat waiting for the axe to hit him. He then swung his axe down about to hit Young Peregrin when he woke up.
"Merry!" he yelled as he sat up sweaty, tear stained cheeks and with the painful memory. Merry had heard Pippin and quickly got up running to Pippins room. Merry busted through the door. "What is it Pippin? Are you okay?" he asked noticing Pippin's tear stained cheeks and sweat pouring down his face. Merry jumped up on Pippins bed and held him tight rocking back and forth trying to calm his scared and frightened cousin down."You're alright now Pip." Said merry trying to get pippin to calm down. "It wasn't me that I was scared about. It was…" Pippin couldn't finish his sentence. The image and memory of the Uruk-Hai sticking his Merry popped back into his head. "It was who pip?" he asked curious. "It was… It was… you Merry." He said between sobs. Continued, "It was a dream. You were there in front of me and you told me to reach I tried but you only got further away. Then I was on a Battle field in my armor and Gandalf Strider Legolas and Gimli were there and I tried to talk to them but I got no response. Then I was looking for you and I saw you fighting an Orc and Then an Uruk-Hai snuck up behind you. I tried to warn you but no sound came out and I couldn't move to help you. Then he struck you across the back with his axe and then he came over to kill me but I woke up before he could."
Pippin let out his dream still sobbing and holding on to Merry. "Well its okay now Pip. I'm not dead and neither is anyone else." He said rocking pippin back and forth lightly. "I know and I'm thankful for that." He said trying to stop crying. "I'll stay with you tonight okay pippin?" Merry said. "Thank you my Merry." Merry smiled at young pippin and tucked him to sleep. Pippin was glad Merry was there with him but he couldn't help but think something would happen to his Merry.
