Whatever Happened to Merry and Pippin?
NOTE: I do not own any of the characters. They are Tolkeins.
1 Part one-The capture
Pippin hadn't seen so many orcs before, except for in the mines of Moria. But then he had Aragorn, Legolas, the others and most importantly. . Gandalf. Now it was only him and Merry, back-to-back and fighting desperately. Merry seemed to be doing well, lashing out but still keeping close to his younger cousin, but the two hobbits knew that they could not kill all of the attacking orcs.
Suddenly, without warning Borimir leaped from nowhere hacking down two orcs in front of Pippin.
"Go!" Borimir yelled to the two hobbits, which retreated back to a tree but stood their ground. They watched in horror as Borimir fell to the ground with arrows deep in his body.
"No! Borimir!" Pippin cried drawing his sword closer to his face height. Merry was ready besides him, his dagger gleaming in the bright sunlight. Then the two halflings charged shouting as they ran towards the towering orcs.
Merry dodged under an orcs' leg and stabbed him from behind before something hard and rough struck him on his head and he knew no more. Pippin, who had seen the whole thing, felt an angry wave of strength running through his veins, "Merry!" he shouted while slaying an orc. Desperately he tried to get over to where Merry was laying but was blocked by about 10 orcs. They slouched towards him sneering words that pippin did not understand, "Merry," whispered Pippin as the orcs overtook him and grabbed the small hobbit by the collar.
Pippin stared blankly at Borimir who kneeled on the floor helplessly. He could see the pain, the guilt and the defeat, all mixed up in clouded eyes. "I'm sorry," he mouthed to Pippin. The young hobbit started to bang fiercely on the orc's back seeing his friend dying. Surprisingly he broke free and fell with a thud on the ground. Pippin wasted no time in getting up and sprang towards Borimir.
"Borimir please be ok," Pippin mumbled to Borimir.
"Pippin please, just go, run, save yourself," Borimir croaked giving the hobbit a push with his remaining strength.
"But Borimir…"Pippin started
"Just go you foolish hobbit," roared Borimir, making Pippin jump and run.
His pounding head and shaky knees slowed him down but the orcs were not used to running through a forest. Pippin stopped after about 2 minutes listening for any noise of orcs- where were the others, why hadn't they come when Borimir had blown his horn? These thoughts quickly left him when he saw about 50 dark figures jumping from behind trees. In surprise Pippin yelled and ran on, but tripped clumsily over a tree trunk. He could feel their presence above him, the orcs wavering over him as he recovered from the fall. He looked up and found orcs all around him, breathing hot sickly air onto him. Then a larger orc strode up, Pippin thought maybe he was the leader.
"Do NOT let this one get away again,the rest of them are not far behind,"he growled. Then Pippin felt a hard pressure on his head and he knew no more….
