No Matter What
Thank you to everyone who reviewed!!!!!!!!! If it weren't for you I wouldn't have continued the story.
After surviving their lecture, Merry and Pippin were just bundles of nerves. They thought that every sound was an orc sneaking up to attack. So you can imagine Merry's worries when there was a soft whispering sound that night. The soft sound was a persistent slow yet heavy breathing. At first he supposed that Pippin was crying about Sam. He found that that was not the case when he found Pippin sitting next to the fire with perfectly dry eyes. That was what the sound was like, crying, just a soft noise that was nearly musical. That is as far a crying goes. It was too silent to be sobs.
When he tried to pin point the source he could not. The sound was almost far off or emitting from trees instead of from a person.
"You know Strider, if I didn't know better I would think that every green leaf in this forest is crying about something."
"Your partly right Merry, leaves that are green are crying. Now go to sleep. We wouldn't like to trouble these leaves. They don't bother us so we can to little to comfort them if they don't want it."
"But they do trouble me. The sound is distracting it is unnerving! I'm going to find those leaves and shut them up."
"Those leaves will beat you up and have some help from me. Just go to sleep!"
"Not until I find those leaves."
"Those leaves must have something bothering them. I don't think that your pestering is going to help. You don't get the idea about the green leaves do you?"
"What idea?"
"Goodnight Merry" that last comment that Merry had made had surprised Aragorn.
"What idea? Tell me!"
"Goodnight Merry!"
"Tell me!"
"GOODNIGHT MERIDOC BRANDYBUCK!!!!!" Aragorn commanded.
"G…g…goodnight Strider" Merry said as he slipped under the covers.
"What an idiot!" Aragorn mumbled as he strode off.
What Merry didn't get, incase you didn't get it either, was in fact a soft crying. Aragorn had truly noticed it before. He didn't need to wonder who/what it was. That sound was unmistakable. If you had ever heard an elf cry you would remember it very well. Merry's account was extremely accurate. Aragorn was once mad at all elves because they sounded good and slightly musical doing everything, even crying. He was curious as to why Legolas was so sad but figured that he should keep his mouth shut. He didn't have to wonder very long. Soon Merry, followed closely by Pippin, came over to him.
"Aragorn, could you read this to us?" Merry asked anxiously.
"Are your hobbit eyes incapable of reading?"
"No, not that, it is in elvish." Pippin said, redeeming himself to a state of lower intelligence, he hadn't said anything wrong lately.
"Did you steal that from Legolas?"
"Ummm… no?"
"GOOD NIGHT MERIDOC BRANDYBUCK! PERIGRIN TOOK, GO TO SLEEP!" Aragorn yelled at them. Telling them to go to sleep was convenient. He caught himself doing it more and more. He might just kick himself if he knew how much he would be saying it in the future. (Parenthesis means that that is what Aragorn is thinking as he reads the letter)
Dear son,
Damn that Aragorn (nice opening line)! I swear, if he ever enters Mirkwood I will have his head (sorry, Sauran has already ordered head of Aragorn. And we are fresh out. Will you settle for head of Pippin? Off with his head!)! What was he thinking (nothing, why?)? I will not rest until he is dead (I hope your wife approves.)!
Sorry Legolas. Oh, this is your father's scribe now. I had to take the parchment from him. He was hurting all my quills (shows what he cares about). Anyway, what he was going to tell you before he started yelling about Aragorn (oh yes, before that) was that she has been captured by orcs. (Who? His father?) You know who "she" is. (No, I don't are you going to tell me?) Once more, I am terribly sad. Oh, sorry to say, I have to give this back to your father. (Oh no! more time of "yell about something that Aragorn did when even Aragorn doesn't know what it is" time)
Does that fool even know what he did? (No! for crying out loud, which Legolas is doing, I don't even know what is going on! Some girl died, that much I know) not that he will ever find out with that slut Arwen! (Alright, someone is going to die here, make that "Alright, someone else is going to die here!") Elrond will hear of this! (Ummm, if you are sending this to him you might want to get rid of the last two lines) I hope that I can in someway make up for this but I fear that I cannot. I know that this is terrible news. If I was ever in the predicament that you were in I would die of grief. (Before of after you kill me?) I'm so very sorry.
Scribe again, I just want to say that this never should happen on a wedding night. (Oh shit) I think that that is why he is so mad at Aragorn (really, ya think?). He really should learn to wait (who, me or his father?).
PS: the mortality rate of this letter was five quills broken in half and three points broken. One of each was one of my special ones.
PPS: make that seven broken in half. He just stepped on two that fell off. I hope I can get more.
PPPS: no, nevermind the last one, they already had the points broken.
PPPPS: I wonder how many PS's you can have, tell me if you find out.
Well, what did you think? I hope you liked it. Did you? Tell me! Speak computer! (Man, she is mad). Ahem! Aragorn, this is not part of the message! Oh, I think that there is a limit of only PPS. After that the computer said that they were spelled wrong. Anyway: IF I DO NOT GET REVIEWS SOON I WILL DISCONTINUE THIS STORY AND YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT WHO "SHE" IS!!! Assuming you have not realized who it is at the moment
