This chapter's gonna be sad and maybe kinda gross…I've never really been good at drawing bloody stuff. But I am great at destroying your feels!

Pippin's Pov.

"MERRY!" I exclaimed. We ran over as fast as we could. I surprisingly ran faster than anyone else even though my legs were shorter than theirs. There was a black shadow creature from the witch's army holding a black scythe with a scull on it over Merry ready to kill him. Suddenly an arrow went through the air and hit it. First light shot out of its chest and in screamed in pain and then fell down and poof! He was gone. I ran over to Merry's side. Laura, Angie and Eowyn showed up by my side. Eowyn was crying. I was too. "Merry you're gonna be okay," I said.
I pulled away his shirt. There was an enormous wound that went…Right through him… I gulped and closed my eyes.

"Merry, Merry, please don't die on me Merry," Eowyn said stroking his while her tears fell on his face. Laura and Angie weren't crying. Their faces were emotionless.
"We need to get him back to camp. We need Kaz, Katelyn and anyone who can doctor," Laura said. "We must take Merry," she said. Her and Angie managed to lift Merry up. They took him as quickly as they could back to camp while Eowyn and I fought off anyone in their way. We passed some people and they asked what was wrong.

"What happened?" Lucy asked in a worried voice.
"Merry…injured…get help!" I said breathlessly. She nodded and ran off probably to find her siblings. Then we passed Marcus. Laura glanced away but he looked at the two carrying Merry with a concerned look on his face.

"Is he hurt?" he asked. Laura only nodded and he went to go get someone. Soon the word spread around and when we got back everyone who had skill in healing was here. Aragorn, Legolas, Kaz, Oliver, Katelyn, Mr. Davenport and even Douglas. I didn't know Katelyn knew how to heal…I guess it's her power.

We brought Merry into the tent and laid him down. Merry was breathing heavily. His breath came out in short, quick gasps. I tried not to panic. Aragorn got some athelas and made a brew of it and washed the wounds while Legolas said some sort of elvish spell but it wasn't doing much. The wound was bleeding quickly. I walked over to them as Kaz and Oliver started doing their work, but they had only had experience with superheros, not normal people. Whatever superheros are.
Their hands were covered in blood. It was dripping all over the floor. I felt like I was gonna vomit. I felt sick and dizzy. Laura looked like she was going to faint. In fact so did Kaz. Eowyn was swaying a bit but held herself up. Tears were stained on Angie's face but she still looked emotionless. She must be keeping it in for us. Then Katelyn came over and so did Kaz again when their hands were clean.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You're powers!" Angie exclaimed. "Maybe they can save him!" she exclaimed. I nodded. I nearly broke when I looked over to see Eowyn's eyes all red and leaning on Laura.

"Yes, exactly Angie. I hope this works," Katelyn said. They put their hands over Merry and closed their eyes. Suddenly a light started glowing from their hands and it scabbed up some of the blood but didn't do anything else. The wound was too bad.
"It's not working," I whispered. They suddenly intertwined their hands tightly and again put their other free hands over him. It started closing it up. It was working! But then their hands stopped glowing and they started panting.

"It's too much," Katelyn said. "It drains…Too much power," Katelyn said. My face turned pale. Eowyn started crying again.
"I'm sorry. We can't do anything for him," Kaz said sadly. I started shaking.

"We tried. We really did," Oliver said. Eowyn stood up.
"You have to do something! Aragorn?" Aragorn shook his head. "Legolas?" Legolas closed his eyes sadly. "You'll just let him die?!" Eowyn ran over to his side.

"C'mon Merry you can do it. Don't die please! I need you to stay alive!" Eowyn said. I went over to her side. Laura and Angie were there too, supporting each other. I was supporting Eowyn.
"Yes, Merry. For us. Fight it. You're a fighter, fight the death!" I said softly but I hoped it motivated him to stay alive. Though…I don't exactly know how that would work. Merry grabbed my hand then Eowyn's.

"I can't fight it. I'm sorry Eowyn, Laura, Angie, Pippin. I would…If I could. I want you to know Pip, that even though you're a fool of a Took…" at this he smiled slightly, causing me to smile too. "you're the best friend…I could have. We've always gone on adventures together. I wish it could always be the same...But it can't," he finished with me. Tears started pouring from my eyes. I didn't bother to stop them.
"Laura, Angie you were always good friends. Thanks for going so far to save us back in Middle Earth. I would've done the same for you," he said. They nodded while tears stained their faces. "Don't let grief ever overcome you. I can't watch you fall into grief. But remember me," he said. Then he turned to Eowyn.
"And Eowyn…I'm sorry we never got much time together. But I want you to know that I enjoyed every second that I was with you. I enjoyed being with you. Even when we were hurt…And when we got captured by orcs…All those times where we were terrified for our lives and for the lives of our friends…I loved you," he said. Eowyn was sobbing. He squeezed her hand. "Don't cry. I don't want you to cry over me. Don't think of now, how I'm gone. Think about when I was here. Remember how we helped Eowyn, the other Eowyn, defeat the Witch-King of Angmar?" he asked. She nodded.
"And you survived that Merry. You can survive this," Eowyn said. He shook his head but kept a smile. He kept it for us. I could see pain in his eyes.
"No I can't. It's pierced my heart Eowyn. Eowyn my friend, Eowyn…my love." His eyes clouded over but the smile staid. One last breath left his lungs. His heartbeat stopped. He was dead…

"No! Merry no come back! Please Merry!" I said and hugged him even if blood soaked me as I did so. Eowyn's eyes were red but she didn't cry.
"He's dead Pippin. And there isn't anything we can do about it…" she said. I felt sadness and anger boil up inside me.

"I want revenge on them. Every last human, orc, demon, animal, anything that ever came near him I want dead," I said and my voice cracked a bit. The three shook their heads.
"No, Pippin. We fight in his honor. We fight because Merry fought well…and died. We fight for him," Angie said. Laura and Eowyn nodded in agreement. I nodded as well.

"So then it's settled," Eowyn said sadly. Then her voice got stronger, and sounded braver than I had ever heard it. "We fight for Merry! Kaz, Oliver, Legolas, Aragorn! Fight in Merry's name. Fight like you never have before because he fought for us! And for the world! Fight for him! For Merry!" She put her hand out. Laura put her's on top, then went Angie's, Kaz's, Oliver's, Aragorn's and Legolas's. They looked down at me and finally I put my hand on.
"For Merry," I whispered. Then our hands flew up as we yelled, "For Merry!" Then we ran out. I fought like hadn't ever fought before. I fought for the dead. For my friend. For Merry.
