A/N Sorry for not updating, but I've had so many things to do, with my film-
manuscript and all. (been writing that) However, I couldn't stay away for
too long so I had to go write some lol! And oh yeah, if anyone have a dvd
with Hetty Waintropp, monsignor Renard or another movie/series with Dom and
somehow feel like copying them for me...you have my addy! : D Now for the
story. Um yeah, and thoughts are marked with * * since my computer won't
make italics.
Tears began to fill Pippin's eyes as he realised what had happened. Merry had lost his memory. He looked up with hatred on Grima Wormtounge, but to his surprise, the man looked as shocked as he did. Apparently, this hadn't been intentional. Saruman stepped up, not knowing of this recent event.
'What has happened?' His servant looked at him.
'That one lost his memory. I think it's from the loss of blood.'
'Should be...' Then Pippin heard no more, for the pair started mumbling and looking more and more satisfied with themselves as they spoke. Merry just stared around him.
'Merry? Look very close at me.' The other hobbit didn't react to his name being spoken, so Pippin punched him in the arm.
'Now look. You are Meriadoc, or Merry and I'm Peregrin or Pippin. Now look, I think you lost your memory, but take it easy. I'm sure it'll come back to you.'
'How do I know you're not evil?' Pippin frowned.
*Not that I have met anyone who recently lost his or her memory before, but wouldn't you think everyone as friendly, since you don't know about evil?* And to Merry he said:
'Why would you think I'm evil?'
'Because...because...I've never experienced anyone who's not.'
'Merry, if you've lost your memory, you shouldn't remember having experienced anything.'
'Well...I do remember one thing. Him, over there,' he said and pointed to Grima. 'He is evil. He...he...' Merry couldn't seem to find the word. 'He raped me!' Pippin gasped. He had heard of rapes before, mainly assaults on hobbit lasses, but also male rape. He knew it was very dangerous and you could loose too much blood. That was probably why Merry had lost his memory.
'Oh, I'm so very sorry. But I assure you I'm not evil. We've been through a lot together and it'll all come back to you. But those two,' he said, indicating to Grima and Saruman, 'they are evil and we need to get away from them, okay?' Merry seemed to understand, though puzzled about the strange situation.

Frodo stretched out like a cat in the morning sun. He had had a good night sleep and was ready for another day of travelling home. If he just could have some breakfast first...he sat up, looking around him. There was Sam, Gandalf...But where was Merry and Pippin?!? He quickly sat up, completely awake now, and looked bewildered around him.
'Merry and Pippin! They are gone! Gandalf!!!' Sam woke up with a start and looked around him.
'Don't worry Mr. Frodo, I'm sure they just went away to do something. They'll be back!' Frodo rubbed his arms and looked very worried.
'No, I'm not so sure. This has happened before, don't you remember?' Sam put a comforting arm around his shoulder.
'Don't worry, we've got no Gollum now!' I'm sure they're fine.' At this time, Gandalf had awakened.
'What is going on? Where are Meriadoc and Peregrin?' Frodo ran up to him.
'We don't know! I'm afraid something happened.' Gandalf went to the place where Merry and Pippin had been sleeping. He found no hobbit footprints leading away, but rather larger footprints, of shoes. One of them he clearly recognised.
'Saruman.'

At the same time, Pippin was anxiously looking over at Saruman and Grima, who still had the same conversation as before, but it didn't look as if it was going well. Or rather, it was going well, but not for the hobbits. Or at least it didn't seem that way. Saruman was looking at him with an evil smile. Merry turned to Pippin.
'What are they talking about?' He sounded like if he was sure Pippin would have the answer. Pippin rolled his eyes. His cousin seemed to think he knew everything.
'I don't know, but I have the feeling they're up to no good.' Pippin's eyes narrowed.
'Oh.' Both Merry and Pippin just looked at the two talking people, trying to somehow make out what was said. Finally they stopped speaking. Grima moved out of Pippin's sight somewhere behind him, but Pippin looked at Saruman whom he could still see. Suddenly, Merry's eyes widened and his mouth opened.
'Wa...' Pippin felt that he was hit with something hard in the back of his head, he felt as if he was falling and all went black.
'...tch out.' Merry said silently as he watched the unconscious hobbit in front of him. Grima stood behind, smiling, with a large rock in his hands.
A/N That's all for today! *Notices something* Oh, this is my twentieth chapter! *Opens bottle of champagne and offers all reviewers a drink* (Note: Not the ones who has been reading without reviewing, that's evil and I know you exist) *When bottle is drunken, Natta opens a new one until everyone is drunk*
Bye! *hick*
