"You know you only have to tell me, and you will be free" whispered Saruman gently into Pippin's ear.
But Pippin knew better. It was unlikely, if he ever did reveal who had the ring and their whereabouts, that Saruman would let him walk, unhindered out of Isengard. Not that it mattered. He had become numb to the pain, making torture useless and his mind was walled against the strongest of spells. It had been that way ever since he had taken Merry's life.
Pippin often had flashbacks of that fateful day.
~"Tell me!" screeched Saruman.
Merry remained silent.
"I implore you to tell me!"
Merry remained silent.
"TELL ME!" Saruman roared. Merry's head snapped to the side as if he had been struck, yet no hand had touched him. He remained silent.
Pippin's eyes swivelled to where the wizard was standing, staff outstretched.
"You have refused me, yet again, what I need to know. You will pay the price. AN HI PERIAN ENNAS NO-ERIN!"
At these words, Merry started to shake violently, his rusty chains rattling against the cold black walls of Orthanc. Suddenly, his head snapped upwards and his eyes became blood red , slowly filling with an inky black. A grey smoke rose from his nose and mouth, which took the form of a person. The being then streaked upwards and dissolved into the walls of the tower. Merry's body hung limp in his shackles.
"Merry!" screamed Pippin.
"Guards!" barked Saruman, and two tall, broad orcs entered the room. They crossed over to stand in front of the Wizard and bowed low.
" My lord, what duty do you have for us?" asked the taller of the two grotesque beings.
"Take that one away" Saruman pointed a long bony finger at Merry's unmoving form. " You know what to do."
"Aye, milord" The orc that spoke then gave a malicious smile, showing a row of tombstone teeth.
They worked quickly, unlocking the cuffs with a large, black iron key. When Merry slumped forward, one of the guards caught him and slung him over his shoulder like a sack. They then took him out of the room, their iron shod feed ringing against the marble floor.
" What did you do to him? Merry! Merry!" Pippin called. He struggled against his chains, crying and shouting until Saruman came over. He grabbed Pippin's head with both hands and slammed it against the wall. The hobbit saw stars clouding his vision, but he would not go unconscious. Not until he knew. He started screaming again. " Tell me what you did to him! You will never get a word out of me! I will never tell you anything, you filth!" Pippin spat on the floor by Saruman's feet.
" I will not take orders from a pathetic halfling! I will not tell you, and I have ways of making you speak." With that he turned to go to the door but spun on his heel before he got there, and looked Pippin in the eye. An evil grin formed on his wise looking face. " Do not worry about your friend, he is long gone."
