Soon after that night I didn't get a chance to talk to Pippin alone for a long time in fact I didn't talk much at all I guess its because everyone seemed to be so tense. Merry and Pippin seemed to be the same as if nothing was going on....but then again they could be just acting that way to lighten things up a bit but who could blame them.

"We will rest here for now"

Rest oh how I love it when I hear those words….

"Marron..."

"Yes"

"Why are you not talking much I mean its not like you at all"

I guess that was true I did always talk alot and it does annoy people but that was my job I mean I was the only girl around usually so...I declared it my job to talk alot.

"I don't know..."

"Yes you do"

"Why do you say that"

"I don't know I just always wanted to say that"

"Oh Merry"

We laughed together for the first time and without fighting.

"We should get a move on"

"But we only just stopped"

"yeah and Mr. Frodo needs some more rest"

"and we haven't had breakfast"

Yeah that was true and it figures my dear Pippin would talk for his stomach even if he was talking to a creepy man like Strider.

"You just ate"

"Yes but that was only first breakfast what about second breakfast"

"I don't think he knows about second breakfast Pip"

I didn't want to disagree with Pippin but there was something about the sky that made me want to leave as soon as possible.

"Marron are you hungry?"

"Huh...oh Sam no save that for later I'm fine"

He gave me a weird look I know what for he was worried that I might be getting sick I mean I was a hobbit and hobbits eat alot and not eating was a sure sign in the Shire that you where either really sick or just going crazy when I think about it I really do miss the Shire...but to tell someone this would be a sure ticket home and I haven't been a hero yet so there was no way I was going to go home now.

We walked and did some talking but not much for we where all really tired and I was getting hungry but I didn't want to stop walking and eat for I had a bad feeling about this place I don't recall the name Strider told us but I knew it wasn't good news.

"I think we should stop and rest here for we have been walking for about three hours straight"

"Ok we will stop for now" agreed Merry.

"No!"

Everyone just stared at me like I was crazy I could tell they where all tired and so was I but I didn't want to stop...something wasn't right.

"Marron please"

"No I don't want to stop"

"We are all really tired"

"I don't...want to stop..please Merry just a little more"

I was near tears but I knew no matter what we would be stopping but I don't blame them for wanting to I was really tired and hungry and I knew that they must be as well.

"Marron don't worry we will set off again but only after we rest and eat"

"Ok I guess I can use a good rest as well"

Sam made the food as he always did and Strider went off somewhere I'm not sure where but I didn't really care to ask.

"Here you go Marron some hot fresh food"

"Thanks Sam"

Everyone ate and talked with one and other I stayed quiet through dinner for I was wondering what this weird feeling was in the pit of my stomach and it wasn't the food that Sam had just made it was one of those creepy feelings you get when something wrong is about to happen but you can't pin point it.

"Night"

That was the last words I heard everyone say to each other and I knew I would be awake alone tonight for I know I wouldn't sleep a wink in this horrid place it was really creepy as if the wind talked to the trees and then ground under me seemed to move as if it was going to eat me at any given time and I don't know how the others slept on the cold ground but then again one can't be picky at times like these...

"On this path to a new world I may be scared but when I look at the stars I feel at ease..."

I started to sing to calm me down and to keep me awake for I was getting really tired...but there was no way I was sleeping no way...I mean the bushes keep moving and it seems to me that they are talking to each other and I keep hearing all these other creepy noises around me... oh how I wish someone would wake up...maybe I should throw a stick at Pippin....
