A/N: A note to my first reviewer of this fanfiction, Meitantei Kudo KID:
No, it's not "him"…. Or is it?
Hah, I love doing that

Krystal and Pippin had been walking for two hours in the forest near the cliff, still trying to find another way down.
"Can't we rest for a few minutes?" Pippin asked as his feet started getting tired.
"Fine with me," Krystal sat down with her back to a tree, setting her pack down beside her. "I hope the others are all right."
"It's sort of strange,"
"What is?"
"Oh, sorry," Pippin set his pack down and sat down next to her. "I was just thinking to myself."
"About what?"
"It's just strange that there was another Ring. I mean, when Frodo destroyed the other one, it looked like Sauron had come to his end." Krystal nodded.
"Let's not talk about the Ring around here, as we're so close to Mordor," She said as she looked around. "Whoever cut that rope might still be around." Pippin nodded as he closed his eyes, planning just to rest for a few minutes.
~~
Pippin and Krystal woke up as it started getting dark.
"Oh, great," Krystal said as she got up.
"What?" Pippin said sleepily as he opened his eyes.
"We have to get going, it's getting dark already." Pippin nodded and got up. They walked for a while in the forest, not sure if Frodo and the others were near or far ahead of them. Krystal felt something tap her shoulder.
"What?" She asked Pippin.
"What?"
"Didn't you tap my shoulder?"
"Not that I know of,"
"Strange, I could have sworn someone did,"
"What?" Pippin asked as he felt something tap him.
"What?"
"Did you tap me?"
"No," Krystal looked around, not being able to see a lot since it was getting to be very dark now. She could only faintly see Pippin's face since the thick trees were blocking the moonlight.
"What is it?" Krystal felt something tap her again.
"What is what?"
"Didn't you tap me just now?"
"I told you, I didn't,"
"You swear?"
"I didn't,"
"OK, this is just getting weird," Pippin said as something tapped him on the back.
"What was that?" Krystal said as she heard something snickering. She stopped walking and looked around, though she couldn't see. Pippin shook his head. Something hit Krystal on the arm.
"What the--?" Krystal moved her arms in the dark and hit something.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry Pippin!"
"That was my nose!"
"I said I'm sorry!"
"Where are you?" Pippin said, walking blindly past a few trees.
"I'm over here,"
"Where?"
"Over here," There was a thud as Pippin walked straight into a tree.
"Ouch!"
"Pippin, just come to my voice,"
"That's what I'm trying to do," Pippin walked slowly towards her voice and ended up walking right into her.
"Watch it!" Krystal's foot slipped and she gave a yell as she fell down a steep rocky hill. She rolled all the way down to the bottom and lifted her head up just as Pippin came tripping down the hill as well. Her head hit a hard rock as he fell on top of her and she blacked out.

A/N: Sorry it took so long to write this chapter. You know the routine if you want to know when a chapter's out. Next chapter coming soon!
Hah, I love doing that
