"What do you mean he's gone?" asked Gandalf. "I was pouring some tea and there was a knock at the door. I asked Pippin to get the door. I asked him who was there and there was no reply so I ran up to the door and see if he went outside but no one was there and that's when I came down here to you." explained Master Frodo. "I was dreading this would of happened. I believe that the Dark Lord had come back." said Gandalf. "What Dark Lord?" asked Master Frodo. " The Dark Lord that is after that ring!" said Gandalf as he pointed at the ring that was hanging from Master Frodo's neck. Master Frodo picked up the ring and stared at it. "How are we going to get Pippin back?" asked Master Frodo. "I believe it's too late!" explained Gandalf. " What do you mean it's too late?" questioned Master Frodo. " Well you have been here for some time, I believe that the Dark Lord has killed Pippin." Said Gandalf in a sad voice. Master Frodo sat down and looked at the floor. His eyes were wide open. "I'm really sorry Master Frodo.."started Gandalf. All of a sudden the door slamed on the floor. It was Legolas . "I heard about the news. Are you ok Master Frodo?" asked Legolas in a caring voice. "I think so. It's just the shock of it all" explained Master Frodo. Gandalf and Legolas went away to talk. While all Master Frodo could do was sit there and think about what could of happened if he had of gone to the door.
