CHAPTER 10: All Safe?

"You have a great mind, young Peregrin Took, it would be a shame to waste it."

"What do you mean?" asked Pippin.

"You are bright and witty, yet you don't use it to your expense."

"Why are you stalling?"

"Stalling?"

"Delaying what you know is inevitable?"

"I know what the word means, but I am not stalling. If anyone is stalling, it is you."

"I am waiting for you!"

"Well then, let's begin."

"Begin what?" asked Pippin.

"The rest of your life." replied Saruman slyly.

"Really?"

"Yes, now there is something I would like to show you."

"Yes?"

"Come here." Said Saruman, motioning with his hand for Pippin to follow him.

Pippin followed, not knowing what to expect. He bit his lower lip.

"This," said Saruman, "Is called the Plantír. Also known as a seeing stone. Now, look into it."

"What will I see?" asked Pippin.

"Whatever you wish."

"This is a trap, you wouldn't show me this if it wasn't."

"Do you not trust me?"

"Yes," replied Pippin, "You have done enough in the past to make you a very untrustworthy fellow."

"Well then, I will show you anyways." He said, chuckling slightly.

Pippin backed up, scared out of his mind. He didn't want to see what this thing was to show him. Saruman walked towards him, as slow as he was pacing backward, "Scared?" asked Saruman. Pippin didn't respond.

"I asked are you scared?"

"Yes."

"Well, you are about to become terrified." Pippin backed up, when suddenly it came to an abrupt stop. Pippin had run into a wall.

"Now, I have you, right where I want to." Said Saruman. Pippin closed his eyes tightly.

"What scared about what I am going to show you?"

"No, I am terrified."

"Good, now open your eyes."

Pippin shook his head wildly. "OPEN THEM!" said Saruman. Pippin opened his eyes, as though under some spell. "Good."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Merry opened his eyes. He didn't feel sick anymore, he actually felt the exact opposite. He needed to get up and run around. He had so much pent up energy, that he didn't know how he was going to use it all in one day. Then the remembrance hit him, he couldn't go and run around. He was in some strange place that he only ever got to in his wildest dreams. His best friend was unconscious, and there was nothing he could do about it.

That made him feel sick again. Not the dizziness or the headache, but a heartache. He didn't deserve it. No one did.

"Good, you're finally up!" came Frodo's voice, seeming excited yet sorrowed at the same time.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the elves came and gave you something and they said that you were fine. I'm glad to see that this worked, that gives me hope."

"Hope?"

"Hope that Pip can make it through this too."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Pippin slumped down on his bed. It was just as he remembered it, warm and cozy. Yet, there was something wrong. Something very wrong. It was quiet. That was the problem, if there was one thing that never happened back home it was quiet. There was noise at all hours of the day and night, whether it be snoring or shouting.

"What's up?" he said to himself, "Something is very wrong here."

"Yes," came Saruman's voice, "You see, I thought that it would be more, what's to word? Ah, comforting for you to be back home."

"This isn't my home." Shouted Pippin.

"Yes, it is, an exact replica that I found in your mind, everything down to the little strings in the rugs are the same."

"Then where is my family?"

"I decided that you wouldn't want them in danger."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, you are the only one in danger, as for now. You are the only one that needs to be killed."

Then, Pippin decided to ask the question that had been eating him from inside. "WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?"

"I thought that you knew, without you."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

A/n: Ah what a nice place to end.**looks at the reviewers who are sitting waiting to find out the answer, when they see the end, they glare and grab forty inch long swords** AHHHH!! Alright, you made your point, I'll write some more!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

"With out me what?" asked Pippin.

"I was getting there, without you, the quest to destroy the Ring will fail. You are not just along for the ride, if you die, then they all die, not all at once, but one by one. That is why you must be destroyed. Now, do you have any last words?"

"Yeah, bye." Said Pippin as he quickly stood up and ran.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

A/n: THERE I added more. Now is when It gets interesting!! Lol, more Merry in next chapter, and can Pippin wake up in the next chapter, or will he die.. hmm. need to think. Sorry it took so long, I probably wont have the next chapter up until next Monday or Tuesday. Sorry, going on vacation. NOW REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

"Those were the stories that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why, but I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going, because they were holding onto something."

"What are we holding onto, Sam?"

"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
