Hey again!!! Thank you soooooooo much for the nice reviews that you guys have given me I feel as though I don't deserve some of them but I am thankful none the less. Well *sniff sniff* here is the last chapter of the story. I hope that you have enjoyed and don't worry I will have more stories coming well on to the story!

Merry's Point of View.
When we got to where I had last seen him, we saw him on the ground breathing deeply. As we went up to him there was a large gash in the side of his head, "He didn't have that when I last saw him," I said getting scared.
Aragorn bent over him and patted his cheeks causing Pippin to groan and open his eyes and you could clearly see that he was confused as to where he was.
"I can feel the heat radiating off of him," Aragorn said getting more concerned about the state of the small hobbit. When he had first seen Pippin his anger had also rose to see the pain that he was in for he felt as if Pippin were like a son to him and that he could have some how prevented this.
"You should have seen it Strider," Pippin whispered for his throat was dry, "An orc came when Merry was away and grabbed me and tried to take me away but a tree grabbed me from him and smooshed him." Pippin said eyes big.
"Then the tree took me back here and sat me down and told me that they would come back for me and that nothing else would hurt me. It talked Mr. Strider, it talked!" Pippin exclaimed.
Was Pippin really saved by an Ent or was he just delirious and had he just hit his head trying to walk around on his own? Ents haven't been seen for such a long time that people thought that they were just a tale made up and nothing more.
"Of course it did Pippin." Aragorn said humoring Pippin obviously thinking that Pippin had gone nuts.
"We are going to help you now." Legolas cut in.
"Okay, it really hurts a lot," Pippin grimaced and coughed
"We know little one." Aragorn said, "When we get back to my horse I will give you something for the pain and it will help you sleep."
"All right, Strider." Pippin said his eyes drooping a little.
Aragorn picked Pippin up and wrapped his cloak around the one Merry had wrapped around him trying to get him warmer and Pippin just simply hung there like a rag doll not having anymore energy.
When they got back to the horses, Aragorn sat Pippin on the ground and mixed some special herbs that I had never heard of with water and he gently lifted the hobbit's head. "Drink this Pippin" he urged pressing the bowl to Pippin's lips making him take a few sips.
Right away Pippin fell asleep and Aragorn jumped on his horse and Legolas handed Pippin up to him.
"Legolas, you and Merry will ride together and Master Gimli will ride the other horse." They nodded and got set up to leave.
After we had started riding the galloping and my exhaustion combined together and slowly it lulled me to sleep.

When I woke I felt as though I was in Heaven, I felt clean and I was lying on a bed that quite to big for me. I saw that clothes had been set out for me and I wondered where I was. At that time Aragorn walked into the room.
"Good morning, Merry!" He smiled at me.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You are in the House of Healing," answered Aragorn.
I took a deep breath and afraid to ask, I said " how is Pippin?"
"He is doing quite better now that he is here, A couple more hours though in that forest and he wouldn't have woken up." Aragorn said. "His other wounds will take a little while to heal. He had a couple of broken ribs, a sprained ankle and very large cuts on his back from the whip." I saw him wince. I let my breath go that I didn't know I had been holding. " At least he is alive." Aragorn shook his head in agreement.
"Can I go see him?" I asked.
"Yes but he still may be sleeping." And he turned to leave so I could get dressed.

After I had gotten dressed I walked down the hall following Aragorn, When we got to the door I stopped, scared to go inside and afraid of what I would see.
"Go on Merry, " Aragorn said gently pushing me through the door, "he's ok."
I nodded and walked fully inside. The sight of Pippin made tears come to my eyes. His skin was very pale and bruises and cuts lined his face.
I sat down in a chair and watched and waited for Pippin to awake.
After awhile he must have felt eyes watching him and his eyes slowly opened, "Merry," he said giving me a weak smile.
"Hey yourself," I said, "How you doing?"
"I'm felt like the whole middle earth fell on me." He laughed and tried to sit up.
"Here let me help ya there, Pip." I said helping him up and to pile pillows behind him.
"Thanks, ' he said in a small voice.
"No problem,"
For the rest of the day Pippin tried to tell me that a tree really had saved him and I just shook my head and laughed. The things Pippin will think of.

Over they next couple of days Pippin got much better and started acting like himself. The light had returned to his green eyes and he had everybody at the house loving him within a day. He had gone to where the small children were too sick to get our of their beds and had them laughing in no time. I guess Pippin trying to do a jig on his crutches and falling on his bottom was a funny thing.
Pippin finally hobbled over to me his eyes full of mirth.
"Hey Pippers, why don't ya take a break." I said seeing that he was a little tired.
"Good idea." And he fell back in a chair. We fell into a comfortable silence until Pippin spoke up.
"Ya know what Merry?" Pippin looked at me.
"What's that?" I looked back at him.
"It just wasn't that Ent that saved me." He said. "It was a brother's love, your love, that saved me. " He smiled and leaned over to hug me.
After we broke from the hug I smiled at him and ruffled his curls and said, "Isn't that what brother's are for."
