CHAPTER 6: Found: Part II
"Yet, the question is, how to find him, without any thing to track him with, it will be impossible." said Aragorn.
A silent tear fell down Merry's face. "It is getting awfully dark." said Legolas, "We should set up camp."
"NO!" shouted Merry, "We can't! If we stop now, we'll never find him in time. Even now! I fear it is too late."
"We can not find him in the dark, and we have nothing to track him with. Merry, I am sorry, we must wait until sun's first light."
"I think I know where he is." said Merry.
"How?" asked Aragorn.
"I had a dream, and and-" started Merry, who was talking at a tremendous speed.
"Merry, calm down," said Boromir, soothingly.
Merry took a deep breath in, "I had a weird dream, and Pip, he was in it, and there was a strange man there, with long white hair."
"Saruman." said Aragorn.
"Who?" asked Merry, politely.
"Saruman the White, a wizard who has obviously, gone bad."
"And he has Pippin?" asked Frodo.
"Yes, in most cases, and" continued Aragorn, but Merry interrupted.
"He's dying! I know it, I can feel it, tell me that you do not feel it too?"
"There is evil about in this land, very much so, and we will carry onward to Isengard, the stronghold of Saruman. If he does have Pippin that is where we shall find him." said Aragorn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
They continued their pace southwest for the next four days. They traveled both day and night, because as soon as they would stop to rest, Merry would continue on. He was determined, he wouldn't let that nightmare come true, he knew what would happen if he failed, and if it was too late.
They trudged on. It was only until the entire fellowship looked as though they were going to pass out from exhaustion, did Merry let them rest.
That was when it happened. This is when they met up with the first bunch of elves sent out by Galadriel.
The elves sat down with the Fellowship, and started talking in rapid Elvish with Legolas and Aragorn.
"Lle anta amin tu?" (Do you need help?) asked Aragorn, "We have some idea on where to find the hobbit."
"You do?" asked the elf.
"Yes, about another day's walk southwest from here, Isengard."
"That is all?"
"Yes."
"Good, you all look exhausted." laughed one of the elves.
The entire Fellowship glared at Merry, "Sorry!" said Merry.
"You need rest, we will continue on tomorrow, if you plan to find him, you will need rest, and more people. Isengard will not be easy to take."
"We do not plan of taking Isengard on, we plan on sneaking in, a taking Pippin back, before ill fate becomes him."
"That is nearly impossible," explained the elf, "Without inside help, no one can break into Isengard, it is impossible."
"We must try." said Boromir, "We will not continue on this quest unless we know that we ultimately did all we could to help him."
"Understandable." said the elf, we will help, but we will only be able to get two through into Isengard. Choose who."
"I will," piped up Merry, "He is my cousin, and my best friend at that."
"Are you sure, little one?" asked Aragorn.
"Yes, now who else come with me?"
"I will," said Legolas, "I feel as thought I have not done my share of helping on this leg of the quest."
"Then so be it. We will hold off the enemy long enough for you two to get in get him and get out. But, you may have to fight along with us, in order to sneak in."
"That is alright." said Merry, "I will fight until the end."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Merry, reluctantly fell asleep, as did the rest of the Fellowship. They were exhausted from Sergeant Merry's command.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
He was climbing, up higher and higher, it was some sort of ladder on a stone wall. It was extremely high, and he was extremely tired, but he continued to climb, up higher and higher.
Then it stopped. There was no where left to climb. He had climbed the whole way up for nothing, but then the ladder magically continued to grow, and Merry continued up it.
Then it stopped, and there lying out before his eyes, was a large, black castle.
He heard loud cries and shouts coming from inside, and he glanced around for a way to get in. Whoever this person was, they were in trouble.
He continued to look around, and saw an open window on the ground level, and he walked up to it, and climbed in.
The castle was deserted, not a living soul in sight, but he heard the whelping screams of pain, coming from deeper inside, and decides to keep walking.
He continues deeper and deeper into the castle, following the shouts and screams.
They get louder and louder with each step he takes. He breaks into a dead sprint, following the deserted strip of hallway. Then they stopped. There was no sound at all. There was a door to his direct left, and he opened it.
What he saw inside shocked him. Pippin was floating high above his head.
"PIPPIN!" screamed Merry.
The small form of Pippin looked down at Merry, "Merry! Help me please!" he shouted.
"I'm coming Pippin!" shouted Merry. The only problem was he didn't know how to get up there.
Suddenly Pippin began to fall, "HELP!" he screamed.
"NO!!" shouted Merry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
He woke up and looked straight up into the face of Boromir. "Merry, what is it?"
"Nothing." lied Merry.
"I know there is something, you were screaming in your sleep."
"Just a nightmare, nothing too drastic."
"Nothing, too drastic?" asked Boromir, "That is what you said about the last one, and look at where it got us."
"I know." sighed Merry, "But this one, I would rather not talk about."
"That is alright." said Boromir, "Just remember, I am here if you need me."
"Thanks," said Merry, "Thanks a lot."
Merry didn't get a wink of sleep the rest of the night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
The next morning came very slowly for everyone, especially Merry, who was awake nearly all night.
"Is everyone ready?" asked one of the elves.
There was a mixed reply. Merry, was tired, but ready to go all the same.
"Then, we're off." said the elf, and they were on their way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
"Merry," whispered Legolas, "I have heard that there is a back door to the actual castle."
"What?" asked Merry.
"Just a rumor." Laughed Legolas, "Let's go, they won't miss us." And with that, Legolas and Merry walked back away from the tower, and then into a run, as not to get caught by the rest of the Fellowship.
"SARUMAN!" shouted an elf, "SARUMAN!"
"What is he doing?" asked Frodo.
"Getting the attention of the guards, so that Merry and Legolas can slip in unattached." Explained Aragorn.
"Um, Aragorn, they aren't here."
"What?"
"They just left."
"They must have figured another way in, lets just hope that it is safe."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Legolas and Merry continued to run, until they came to a hole in the wall of Isengard. "Well," said Legolas, "This is it."
"This is it?" repeated Merry.
"Yes, now, climb in, there are usually no guards."
"Are you sure?" asked Merry.
"Positive." Said Legolas, and Merry climbed in, followed by Legolas.
"Well, this is a predicament." Said Merry. There were no guards, but there was a stairways leading up towards the tower, and one leading down towards the basement.
"Which way would you like to go Master Merry?" asked Legolas.
"Up." Said Merry, "Going down is worse."
"Alright, we'll meet back here in about an hour."
"Are you sure that is enough time?" asked Merry.
"Yes, that will be enough," replied Legolas, "I'll see you, and don't do anything stupid, alright?"
"OK."
And with that, Merry and Legolas separated, going their own separate ways to try and find Pippin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Up higher and higher Merry climbed. This must have been the tenth level of steps, and for one with such small legs, that was a great feat, but he continued on.
More and more tired he got. Every step seemed harder and harder to take. He continued on.
Then the steps came to a stop, and it was a gradual slope spinning, but still going up, and there were these doors, closed doors, open doors. "Maybe," he thought, "Just maybe, Pippin is in one of these doors."
Using his hobbit logic he decided that he would not be in one of the open doors, and that the door would be closed, seeing as it isn't open.
He walked up to the first closed door, and tried to open it, and found it was locked. "Pip?" he whispered. There was no answer, so he continued on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
By now, Merry must have tried to open fifty doors, and only three of them opened, and they were empty. He was getting closer to the top of the tower, he could tell. There were only a few more doors to try.
He walked up to the next one, and tried his hardest to open it. But he was weak. Yet, it opened quite easily.
He walked inside, like he did with all the other doors that he opened. Like the others, it was dark, and very warm, but this one was different. Someone was in it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Legolas continued to walk around in the lower parts of Isengard, not finding anything. But still, at least he was searching, not sitting around waiting for Merry to return.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
"Merry?" wheezed a voice.
"PIPPIN!?" shouted Merry.
"Shhh! Get out."
"What?" asked Merry.
"Trust me, and save yourself, before he comes back."
"No, I won't leave, not with out you."
"Merry, do you not understand. he has me, and I need to fight him, not you, not anybody else. Me!"
"Pippin."
"I have to go now." Said Pippin, closing his eyes.
"Pippin!" said Merry in distress, "Pippin, no, please Pippin."
Pippin didn't respond. "Pippin!" said Merry, still there was no response.
Merry placed an arm under Pip's head, and the other under his bent legs, and he lifted him up. He turned around to walk out, and the door slammed in his face. There was someone out there, and whoever it was closed the door, and locked it. They were stuck in there. Trapped, with no way out.
