Fire and Glass

When I awoke Merry was at my bedside, "Merry?"

He looked at me and smiled, "Pip!? Thank goodness your awake."

" What time is it?"

"A few minutes before dawn."

Merry looked at me but his smile faded, his brows furrowed and he took a deep breath. "Pippin, what happened to you while I was in Rohan?"

I looked up at him, he knew nothing about the events of that night, maybe it was better that way, and he wouldn't treat me different, from anyone else.

"Pippin?" He asked waiting, "What happened?"

I took a deep breath, "You know Faramir and Boramir? Well they're father was the Steward of Gondor, Denathor; remember how Boramir always told us about him? Well I meet him…"

Merry's grip on the chair tightened, "And he hurt you? He put those cuts on your back?"

I sighed tears welded up in my eyes I looked away, bit my lower lip, and turned back.

"He did more than that." I lifted my shirt and showed him the wounds on my back again, and then I put out my wrists to show him the rope cuts. "It hurts to walk now"

"Oh God…He raped you didn't he?" Merry said in barley a whisper as he looked at my wounds and back at me. I turned my head away, but he took my chin in his hand and turned it back. "Pippin did he?"

I swallowed an egg-sized lump in my throat, "Aye."

I closed my eyes not wanting to see Merry's reaction. I heard something smashing and a yell. I opened my eyes a red faced Merry was heaving his chest with deep breaths, a shattered glass lay on the floor. "Merry?" My voice was small and weak.

Merry burst into tears and let his knees slam to the ground; he slammed his fist down onto the floor. He stood up shaking and came and hugged me.

Merry's POV

I hugged my cousin, my best friend, he did not deserve this, he didn't deserve this. I heard a sob, he was crying, and I brought my hand up to my face I realized he was crying with me. "Oh God Pip, Pippin, its okay, I'm here, I'm here, Merry is here" I said soothingly, rubbing his back, like I did when he was a frightened child staying the night at Brandybuck Hall. But this was too much, how could he have gone through that? I don't know but all he needed was someone right now, to not be alone. "It alright Pippin, I'm here I'm here."

" M-merry, I just, I thought it would be fine but it hurts, it hurts not just on the outside, but emotionally, Merry, I wish it had never h-happened."

"I do too, Pip, I do too. No one deserves that, especially you, Pip especially you, you deserve so much better."

" I felt so small, so helpless…"

"You couldn't have done anything."

Pippin just laid down ad I watched him as he stared at the wall and let the tears dry, he took deep breaths. After calming down, he sat up, and then he looked at me in fear, "Merry you CANNOT tell Faramir. Not even he knows, it painful enough for him to know his father is dead. Promise me Merry, Promise me you will not tell anyone."

"I promise Pip, I promise." We turned around; the sun was rising, over the white city. I watched Pippin fall asleep. How could anyone do that to someone so innocent? So young? I sighed and covered him up in a blanket, I needed my pipe. To think this over.

TBC (I think)
