CH. 3 Comfort in Night
A/N: This chapter is shorter and not very good I know. but Im kind of busy with school and I'm just trying to keep the story going and not let my grades slip. I promise I will keep adding more but it may not be as long. Any advice to make the story better is appreciated. I promise We will try to make them more into character in later chappies ^-^ I know its not a perfect story but is our first ever! :) *bows*

Even though Merry was Unconscious he would mutter and whisper things that couldn't be understood. Pippin stayed by Merry's side everyminute and didn't leave once. Aragorn would check up on them every once in a while to make sure they were all right and nothing was wrong.

After a couple of hours Legolas and Gimli stopped by to talk to Pippin and check up on him and Merry. "Hallo Pippin." said Gimli coming through the door. "Hallo Gimli oh and Hallo to you Legolas." Pippin seemed tired, and he was the most sleep he had gotten was when he had dozed off every once in a while. He wanted to be there for Merry if he woke up or became sick or anything. Gimli and Legolas glanced over towards where Merry lay.

"How is young Master Meriadoc?" Legolas asked to break the silence. "I'd say he's doing fine, he just hasn't woken up yet and during the night he has had a couple nightmares. When I've drifted off to sleep every now and then I had been woken by his screaming and cries for help." Pippin explained tears swelling up in his eyes. He was trying not to cry. "I'm not going to lie Im quite frightened to see him like this." Pippin couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

The tears rolled down his face he every now and then he let out a sob. Their hearts went out to the poor little hobbit. "Young and nothing Peregrin, Do not Fret! For young Master Meriadoc apparently lives and will soon awake." Gandalf said din a low calming voice. Legolas, Gimli, and Pippin hadn't noticed him come into the room. "You really should stop doing that Gandalf." Pippin said teasingly trying to smile. What Gandalf had Said Pippin took that as words of confidence and had took it to heart he knew Merry would soon awake they would be as they once were... Hopefully.

Late that night Pippin had let sleep take him. Aragorn had come in at a good time. Pippin woke up screaming and all covered in sweat from another Nightmare he had had falling backwards in his chair. Aragorn ran over and caught him before he had fallen to the floor. "That was a close one Pippin." Aragorn said sitting him back up steadily. "Is everything all Right? Anything the matter?" Aragorn asked worry spreading across his face.

Pippin had kind of a scared or frightened look upon his face. Aragorn suspected that it had been another nightmare but wasn't quite sure. "Yes Strider. Something is the matter." Pippin was breathing hard looking at Merry not taking his eyes off of him. "I've had another nightmare... and Aragorn, only this time... this one was worse."
