Chapter 4: Bad News
The next morning, Kira got up early and got packed. She took Meowyn over to Bag End where Frodo, Sam, Rosie, Elanor, and Uncle Bilbo lived so she could stay with them. She knew it was much too dangerous to take Meowyn along with her. After dropping off Meowyn at Bag End, she rode to Tuckborough where Pippin lived to tell him what was going on. She rode up in front of the house and tied her horse to a hitching post outside and walked up to the door and knocked on it.
"Who's there?" she heard a voice ask from inside.
"It's me, Pippin, let me in. It's an emergency!" Kira pleaded.
Pippin quickly opened the door and lat her in.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"There's something wrong with Merry." Kira answered.
"What? How do you know?" Pippin asked, getting concerned.
"I had a dream last night about Merry being captured by Orcs, and something tells me that we have to go find him as quickly as we can. I think he's hurt." Kira explained.
When it came to something like this, Pippin didn't have to be told twice, he got packed as quick as he could and he and Kira started off in search of Merry.
A/N: I'm sorry for another short chappy, but, as I told you before, I'm building up to something...
