Whatever happened to Merry and Pippin?
I have really been enjoying reading your reviews, they are soooo great. I love to sit at my PC and write this while also reading fanfics from other authors I especially liked Outcast-it is very angsty. Oh well enjoy!!!!
Part 4-Ugluk to the rescue
The orcs dumped Pippin next to Merry, then roughly pulled on Merry's rope, he stumbled forward. The sky was dim but slowly getting lighter, the orcs were hurrying now, they wanted to finish their job before sunrise. Helplessly Merry was led to where Pippin had been attacked (although he did try and run a couple of times resulting in a black eye).
"Pippin, I hope he will be ok. I should've been there for him," thought Merry, eyeing the black figures towering over him. They pulled Merry towards Sarnak and once again he went into a long speech about Ugluk and how he would revenge him. Merry listened with worry in his heart, not for him but for his dear cousin whom he cared greatly about. In a wave on anger Merry spat in Sarnak's eyes repaying him for what he had done to Pippin. Sarnak was furious. He rose above Merry and gave him a strong back hand across his small face, it was enough to brake the hobbits' neck, but thankfully it only left a massive dash and a soon to be bruise across his right cheek.
Merry groaned but bravely staggered to his feet, feeling dazed by what just happened. Sarnak strode over to him in orc fashion and growled and snarled at the halfling. Merry stood proud, the only thing keeping him to do so was the fact that Pippin needed help and he needed to escape.
Sarnak wasted no time in throwing Merry to the ground again, then signalled for his soldiers to do the rest.
But before the beating up could commence, a shrill cry came from the forest surrounding them. In a few split seconds Ugluk and his followers sprang into the circle of orcs. Merry looked up to find a strong arm lift him up and put the tired hobbit over his shoulder. All he could hear and see was the blood hurtling cries of Sarnak and his orcs dying one by one by Ugluk himself.
Merry almost felt grateful to see Ugluk come, but thought better of it. As he was taken back to the orc camp he caught sight of Pippin, forlorn and knocked out still.
"Poor Pip, I was supposed to look after him," he murmured.
"That Sarnak, damn him, he's gonna get me in trouble with the dark lord," Ugluk growled and kicked a tree in fury, "Give the halflings a draught of that medicine, gotta get them in top shape for the dark lord, especially that smaller one, he took a hard beating."
Meanwhile, Legolas scanned the area for any clues, Aragorn close behind, then followed by Gimli. So far they had found Borimir dying, now dead, Pippin's broach and the obvious trail of orc feet.
"We will find them, do not worry my dear dwarf," Legolas reassured.
"I am only worried that this will all be in vain," Gimli replied, slightly miffed at the fact that he ring bearer got away and now they were following a trail of super orcs.
"It will be if we don't hurry up," Aragorn stated. With that the 3 left of the fellowship made their way through the hills and forests.
