Pippin was flung roughly into a damp cell. He hit the floor hard and only had enough time to roll out of the way of the door before it was closed and he was thrown into darkness. He started to shiver violently. The cold down there was even more intense than in the chamber and he could see his breath coming out in a cloud.
He rubbed his hands up and down his arms in an attempt to dispel the goose-bumps that had popped up on them. For what seemed like the thousandth time he began to cry. Huge, wracking sobs escaped him as he let out all the turmoil and grief he was feeling. He fell sideways with a thud, knocking his head against the stone. Stars erupted in front of his eyes and his head throbbed but he hardly noticed it.
He lay there in the dark until all his tears were spent, and only soft wails of despair emitted from his lips. Staring into the impenetrable gloom he wondered what had become of the others. Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas had more important things to be worrying about, they wouldn't bother with two young hobbits, not with Frodo and the Ring. The fate of the world was more important than the fate of Merry and him. Frodo! He hoped with all his heart that his dear friend would not, or had not, come to the same doom that had befallen him.
Suddenly a soft voice pierced his thoughts and his spirits rose, for he recognised it at once.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
His soft sobs halted.
"Legolas?" He called back in a small voice, then louder "Legolas!"
"Peregrin? Is that you?"
"Yes! Legolas! How…why are you here? I don't understand." Pippin answered.
"Oh thank the Valar you are alive! Are you much hurt young one?" He heard Legolas ask.
"Yes…well…no…but Merry is somewhere else. I don't know where, I think he was taken to another cell. Why are you here Legolas? Where is Aragorn? Gimli?"
"I was hit by an arrow and fell unconscious and woke up to find myself here. Where Aragorn and the Dwarf are, I do not know but I hope they too have not been captured. I was hoping…." Legolas paused mid-sentence for he could hear a noise coming from the other side of his cell. A voice.
"I someone there? Hello?" it cried. Legolas recalled the voice from the back of his memory. Meriadoc!
"Merry! Merry! It is so good to hear your voice!
"Legolas! I heard the guards talking! They are going to take Pip somewhere!"
"Pippin in in the cell on the other side of me, and he-" The elf was stopped in mid-sentence by the sound of a door opening. He heard Pippin's shout of alarm as the Hobbit was picked up and then the door was slammed and all was silent.
