Hey thanks to all my reviewers I know theses chapters are really short but yeah…. I'm kind of making this up as I go along. But I'm trying my hardest to make them longer.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own LOTR or any characters or places in that book it all belongs to professor J.R.R. Tolkien.
Fire and Glass
I sat on the balcony with my back against the wall; the sun rose with magnificence, yet my heavy heart dulled its comforting rays. I took another draw from my pipe, letting the smoke clear my mind, then letting it escape through my nose. I felt like I needed to do something, but what could I do? Denathor was dead; his child was not to blame.
How can you help someone after they have been through that? I felt so useless, I was Pippins best friend and not even I knew how I could help him. I finished my pipe and went back to my cousin's room.
I opened the door unannounced, Pippin quickly, took the sheets and covered his legs, but I saw it, blood was creeping down from his regions.
"M-merry, get out."
"No"
"Merry get out of this room. It just an after shock, Gandalf said I would bleed occasionally for the next few weeks. It, the pain I mean, is almost faded, just get out."
"Pippin…"
"GET OUT!" He screamed collapsing onto the bed, crying. I went to his side, and kneeled by the bed. Rubbing his back, the sheet still covering him from the waist down, I said, "Pip, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I don't care what that madman did to you I do not see you any different. Take a deep breath calm down, I'm here."
He took a few shuddering deep breaths, and sat up. He gave me a hug and then sat upright on the bed. "Thanks you Merry, I'm sorry but I just don't want you to see me like this, I imagined you seeing me in the corner of his room, covered in blood again, I never want you to see me like that. Never Merry, never."
"I would rather see you like that then to not help you. I would rather…get caught by Farmer Maggot, lifting a bag of mushrooms." Pippin chuckled a little,
"Ow…that would hurt"
"Ow is right, remember what he did to Frodo? That belt should be outlawed."
Pippin gave a good true laugh; I have not heard that laugh in a long time. "Merry, I'm not bleeding anymore."
"Okay I'll go to the kitchens for food you get dressed." I walked out of the room then I heard my name being called,
"Merry!"
I turned around, "Yeah Pip?"
His head popped out of the door, "Thanks."
"Now Peregrin Took! What sort of friend would I be if I did not make you happy? That is my job after all!" I winked at him, his head went back into his room, and I put my hands in my pockets and started walking down the hall whistling.
Everything would be fine.
