Scary Monsters By Robin Girl

~~

Just a short little story about 'lil' Pippin and Merry. ^_^ Pippin is 7years our time. Merry is like 19. ~~

"Hey you.."

Seven year old Peregrin Took looked up to see Jaron, the bully. Jaron's favorite target seemed to be Pippin.

"Answer me!!" Jaron exclaimed, he slapped Pippin across the face, "Your body guard ain't here this time."

"Meanie!!" Pippin cried out. He started running the opposite direction. The little hobbit ran as fast as he could. He could hear Jaron running after him. Where was Merry when he needed him?

Meridoc Brandybuck sat up in the 'magic' tree as Pippin called it, he thought he heard a noise. He was supposed to have met Pippin here after luncheon. So far though, Pippin was late. Pippin was NEVER late when it came to picking apples.

Then a terrifying scream pierced the silence of the Shire. "What the?" Merry hopped off the tree and ran towards the noise.

Pippin tripped and rolled down the hill. When he finally stopped he was to dizzy to stand.

"Now you're mine little brat."

Pippin didn't know what to do so he screamed nice and loud hoping someone would here it. He also hoped that person would be Merry.

Jaron pulled him to his feet and threw him into a tree. "When I get angry I use you to make me feel better." He proceeded to kick Pippin in the side. "You are so much fun to hurt.."

Merry came running down the hill to see Jaron beating on his cousin. "JARON!!"

Jaron looked up smiling, "Took you to long..I'd figured you'd have been here by now.come to save your baby?"

Pippin sat up painfully and watched the older hobbits fight.

"You're hurting an innocent child who has done nothing to do you."

"You're right. He's just a good target."

Leave him alone. You ever get near him again and I'll give you a beating you'll never forget."

"Is that a promise?" Jaron sneered. "So If I do." He kicked Pippin again, "This..you're going to be beat me?"

Rage boiled to the top and a red haze covered Merry's thoughts. He picked up Jaron and threw him away from Pippin. Once they were away from Pippin Merry gave Jaron a nice beating.

Jaron back away scared, "Brandybuck you've gone mad. I'm outta here."

Pippin was scared to. He'd never seen the monster before.

"Pip? You alright?" Merry knelt down in front of his younger cousin. "What's wrong?!?!" A small hand touched his face, confused Merry rocked back on his heels.

"You alright Merry?"

"Of course." Merry replied, "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Is the scary Monster gone?"

"Monster?"

"Yeh when you fought Jaron you were a scary monster." Pippin climbed in Merry's arms. "Are you back now?"

Merry nodded still not sure what he was talking about. He took the small hobbit in his arms and checked him over for wounds. "Yeh.the moster's..um..gone."

"Why did you turn into a monster?"

Merry sighed and didn't answer. He continued walking now that he was sure Pippin was ok.

Pippin pouted why wasn't Merry answering him?

15 minutes later they arrived at the magic tree. Merry helped him up then climbed up himself. Once Pippin was sure Merry was comfortable he used his older cousin as a pillow. "So tell me why did you turn into a monster?"

"Pip, when some one hurts one you love dearly you sometimes get really mad.and turn into a monster as you call it..When I saw Jaron beating you up I was so mad. I guess the monster came out and gave Jaron what he deserved."

"Oh..do I have a monster?" Pippin asked timidly.

"I don't know.."

"I hope not..and I hope you don't turn back into one.."

"Oh?" Merry asked amused, "Why not?"

Pippin nodded sitting up and facing Merry, "If you're a monster than you can't hold me.."

Merry chuckled and held Pippin close, "You're so cute Pip."

Pippin didn't answer for he had fallen fast asleep. For now he knew that Merry wouldn't become a monster.
