No Matter What
Chapter 8
Dislamer: you get the idea, I own nothing (I know nothing ~ someone on Hogan's Heroes) oh, do ask before you use excessive usage of "good night Merry" and "Pippin, go to sleep"
Again, thanks to those who reviewed!!!!
"Perhaps I should do something." Aragorn wondered softly. "Well, other than tie up the hobbits and stay far away from Mirkwood." "Umm, Aragorn, we are both very very very sorry for stealing the note, now could you tell us what it says?" "No Merry, no Pippin. Good night Merry, Pippin, go to sleep!" With that the two hobbits scurried off. They knew that they didn't want to be too close when he was mad. On the other hand, they wanted to know if the note had anything to do with the crying sound. To find that out they went straight to the source. "Umm, Legolas." "Yes Merry" it took a moment for him to reply but when he did Merry almost jumped for joy though he didn't know why. "Legolas, look, it is not doing you any good to try to seem like something isn't bothering you." "I know that! That is why I went away from you. I don't need a big deal made out of this. I'm just fine there is no need to worry. Just please leave me alone." "If something is bothering you, just tell me." "Alright, it is a small thing, you know short. It is now really starting to annoy me. Oh, one more thing, I have punched it once and I will again if it doesn't leave NOW!" "Why do you keep doing that?" "Doing what?" "Saying that you are going to hurt me. I know that you wouldn't really kill me." "You sound so confident. Want to stay around and test that theory?" "Umm, you know, I think that I hear Strider calling me." "I don't, and I am the one with the elven ears." "All right, I was just trying to help. If you really don't want to talk then never mind. I was really concerned that is all." Merry hung his head and started to walk away. Legolas now felt kind of sorry for him. He hadn't meant to sound so mean to the poor hobbit. Little did he know that he was doing exactly what Merry wanted him to. He was feeling guilty for turning him away. Because he was an elf and elves do have strong morals he couldn't just let Merry walk off without apologizing. The thing was, did he want Merry to know what was bothering him. In his opinion, Merry had already dug too deep in his personal life. That was extremely unexcitable. But then again, no! No! No way, no how! He was not going to tell Merry what was bothering him. "Merry, wait come back." Oh no, here it comes. I thought that I had decided not to tell him. Oh well (Legolas, before you say anything, read what I just wrote beforehand. If you don't you might get yourself killed one of these chapters. Why do they do what I tell them not to?) "If you really want to know (merry: nod), and you promise not to tell Pippin (merry: I'll work on it) then I'll tell you." "Alright." He didn't want to sound like he was excited but, truth be told, he was. "It isn't truly important to anyone, well, other than me. It's just kinda Pippins fault. All it really is is just the reason that I didn't want to leave with you guys to look for Sam. Now I feel bad about leaving. That is all " He took off the chain around his neck (you know, the one with the two rings). Merry was now wishing that he had not bothered to inquire because he didn't know more than what he started off knowing. When he didn't start to talk right away Merry said that he had to go. He did tell Pippin but when he went to tell Aragorn he found out that Aragorn already knew. Aragorn was also nice enough to answer a few questions for Merry. "I read the letter and that was about the same story that I picked up. Lets just all go to sleep." Merry was about to say something but Aragorn interrupted. "Goodnight Merry" it was after that that Pippin started talking. "Pippin! Go to sleep!" Aragorn yelled at him. The next day was very sunny. It taunted and mocked tem. They were at the height of sadness and it was sunny out. Normally they would wish for this day. Now they wished for a slight rain, a mist that hung in the air, birds refusing to sing, and damp feeling all around. That would have been better suited for the mood. Instead everything seemed happy. "People ahead" Pippin informed them. "Then let us go and meet them" Aragorn said picking up the pace. "They might know something about the orcs!" he glanced over to Legolas. He had hoped to see him showing sings of a smile of hope. Instead there was no emotion. (to avoid complications I will continue in a script type of story P1 stands for the person ahead) Aragorn: Hello!" Person1: Be ye friend or foe? A: Friends of Gondor, Mirkwood, the Shire, Most Dwarven homes, and almost everything but Orcs, Goblins, and such evil creatures P1: ah, then friend. What is your quest? A: we seek to find our friends, who were captured by Orcs, have you seen any around here? P1: yes, yes we did actually. They had two people with them. One looked as though he was little more than a child. I assume it was male. They had their heads covered. The other was tall and slender. It was a she for sure. Would those be the ones you are seeking? A: yes! That is them. Were they well? Pippin: please say that they were! P1: the taller of the two walked with a slight limp. I fear that they might do her in in order to move faster. I truly am glad that I do not know her. P: and of the sorter one? P1: just fine. He seemed hardy enough to withstand this and whatever else they could dish out. Legolas: do you have anymore information. Even the slightest bit would be useful. It might seem meaningless to you but it would mean the world to us. P1: sorry, that is all fair elf. I know how it feels to not know the fate of those who are close to you. No, wait, I do have some info that could help. There is a village up ahead. In there, there is a powerful woman. She simply looks into a smoke, says what she wants to see, and the smoke forms into people. These people show how that person is doing. She could show you how the two of them are doing. A: thank you so much. You don't happen t know how long it was sense you saw the orcs? P1: matter of fact, I don't. I have a horrible memory of dates. I don't even know what day it is or how long it has been sense I left home. A: thank you anyway
With that they parted ways. No one said anything for an hour. Each of them was silently deciding who would go first. They didn't know if they could see two people at the same time if they were close together. They soon found out that they could not. When they found out the price they also found out that they could only afford for her to look for one person. "Sam is more important." Aragorn said when Legolas couldn't hear him. "I think that we should spend it on him. But, well, it is our fault that the elf got caught so I don't really know." "Sam is more important" Aragorn heard Legolas say. (Ha, good luck being out of the earshot of an elf! You would have to be half a world away!) After some talking it was decided that they would try for Sam. With that in mind they walked off to look for her house again. It was easy to get turned around in this place. Surprisingly they found it easily and went in.
All right, sorry that it has been so long but oh well, here it is. Hint: to get fasted updates, review more. The more reviews the more updates. Just a hint
