Chapter 10

I had decided that I would accompany everyone to Isengaurd. It was actually quite far which I hadn't been expecting. We traveled across the worn grassy plains of Rohan and followed the long flowing river through the hills and then we hit Fangorn it seemed more depressing that the last time I had been there.

"It seems different doesn't it?" Gandalf said when he saw me looking over the dark trees.

"How can it seem so different it hasn't even been a month since I was last here?" I asked confused.

"The forest changes from day to day but this part has seen much sorrow. It has seen trees torn from the ground and burned." He told me in a slightly ominous voice.

"The forest looks evil in a way!"

"The trees are filled with much anger." Legolas whispered.

"But we are friends!" Said Gimli as if he was speaking to the trees.

It was Théoden who spoke next, "We must be going we need to reach Isengaurd by mid day."

"Yes we have tarried here too long." Gandalf said.

The sun was just reaching it's full height in the sky when we arrived at Isengaurd. When we came upon a broken wall we saw that two familiar figures were sitting on top of it. It was Merry and Pippin.

"Welcome, my lords, to Isengaurd!" Merry exclaimed and when he saw me his smile grew more timid. Everyone but Gandalf laughed at their antics and Gimli grumbled.

"You young rascals!" Gimli exclaimed. "A merry hunt you lead us on, and here we find you feasting and smoking!" We all smiled at that. Pippin took a bite of meat and smiled.

"We are sitting on a field of victory, enjoying some well earned comforts," Pippin said. He paused and smiled. "The salted pork is particularly good." Gimli smiled.

"Salted pork?" Gimli asked and I couldn't help but laugh so I did it quietly. Then I heard Gandalf sigh.

"Hobbits," Gandalf muttered under his breath.

"Essa," Gandalf said in a stern tone as if he already knew that I would object to his next words, "You must stay here with Merry and Pippin while I go deal with the filth that is Sauraman."

Before I could even open my mouth Pippin began speaking rapidly in an outraged tone, "What?! You can not leave us here with some girl while you go and do all of the exciting stuff!"

"This matter is not up for discussion Peregrine Took! You will do as you are told!" said Gandalf in such a tone that no one wanted to say anything after that.

Pippin then proceeded to mumble something under his breath and then sit back down on the wall. Gandalf then left with Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas, and Théoden close at his tail.

As soon as they were gone I turned towards Pippin with a fierce scowl on my face and began, "I may be a girl but that gives you no right to be rude or insinuate that I am any different from you!"

I could see out of the corner of my eye that Merry was on the verge of laughing at the face Pippin pulled after my little outburst. After that the mood on the wall was quite different but I could still tell that Merry and Pippin were still unsure of how they should act around me. I decided to let them take their time and began to walk towards the waterfall. In both the books and the movies they never really had talked about the landscape around Isengaurd. They mainly focused on the fact that Pippin picked up the orb that had belonged to Sauraman.

That was when I realized that if Pippin never looked at it the first time he wouldn't have felt the need to look at it again and then they would never have figured out that Sauron was planning on attacking Gondor. If they didn't know about that then Gandalf never would have gone to Gondor and a lot more people would have died because the riders of Rohan would not have come. This all went through my head in a matter of seconds and I realized what I must do as soon as it had. I had to get Pippin to see the orb! All of a sudden I heard Merry and Pippin behind me and I realized that this was probably going to be my only chance and I turned to face them.

"Pippin, I know that you don't really know me but I really need you to do me a favor. Could you do that for me?" I asked as soon as I was close enough to them.

"What is it you want me to do?" he asked hesitantly.

"All I need you to do is go to Gandalf and tell him there is something important I have to tell him! Be careful as you walk through the water and watch were you are stepping so you don't trip!" as I told him this I realized that if he knew what I was really trying to make him do he would probably never forgive me.

"If it means I can be part of what's happening of course I'll go!" He said quickly before running off.

Merry then turned to me and gave me a strange look before saying, "I'm not sure what you are trying to do but I think that it is probably for a good reason."

I smiled thinking that there was perhaps a chance that I would be able to earn both of their trusts in time.
