It's All my Fault..

How did it ever come to this?! Merry's dead, Pippin's hurt, and the whole Fellowship is broken up.. Just, how.. I looked over at the orc carrying Pippin, and scowled in disgust. "Quiet, human!" The orc behind me told me and kicked me in the side, causing me to groan in pain. "Don't touch her!" I heard Pippin yell. The orc growled a low rumble at Pippin, causing him to go silent. "Merry!" I heard Pippin whisper-yell towards his friend. Merry made no movement, and his eyes were shut. He's dead! And it's all my fault! I thought to myself. I dared to lay my head down, and have it hit along the ground as I was being dragged. I would maybe go, but with pain.. They wouldn't have to deal with me anymore. No one else would get killed, no one else would get hurt... I felt warm tears stream down my muddy face. But.. I can't live without him.. I thought to myself, and looked over at Pippin. 

"W-where are we going..?" I stuttered the question to the orc behind me. "To Saruman. He has a hefty deal for whoever brings the Ring Bearer and his friends." He said in a deep voice. "Are we going to stop?" I asked politely. Maybe we would if he saw how "nice" I was. "Don't ask me, human." He growled. I went silent, listening to the orcs speak to each other in hushed tones. One of the orcs behind spoke up, "can't we stop and eat? I'm getting HUNGRY!" He hollered. "Shut up! We're almost to Rohan, you imbecile!" The one at the front growled back. He must not be happy.. But, orcs are never happy.. I looked over at Pippin, who was still trying to get Merry to show he was alive. It's no use.. He's dead, and soon we will all be dead, and it'll be my fault.. I told Gandalf I should have never come on this journey, I was only bad news...

"Pippin.." I whispered-hollered, trying to get his attention. He looked at me, and cocked his head. "They're taking us to Saruman.." I sighed. His eyes grew in fear, and he started hitting the orc that was carrying him. The orc growled, then slammed his hand behind him, hitting Pippin square on the back and knocking the breath out of him. "Pippin!" I hollered. "Quiet!" The orc behind me said again, threatening to kick me. "Stop!" The leading orc hollered. They all stopped in almost complete unison. "We will rest here. Then, we will travel through Rohan quickly and get to Isengard." He informed the others. Everyone seemed to disperse a bit, leaving me tied up on the ground and Pippin and Merry on the ground far from me. I laid my head on the ground, and closed my eyes. We were going to be taken to Saruman and most likely killed, or interrogated and tortured to death. We die either way.

I looked over to where Merry and Pippin were laid, and they weren't there. "Pippin?" I coughed out. I waited for a response, but got none. "Pippin?!" I felt my heart start racing. He was gone... They got away without me, or the orcs took them to eat. But, they wouldn't want Hobbit.. They're too small. "HUMANS!" One of the orcs hollered, and I was suddenly picked up and thrown over a shoulder. I tried to look back and see if I could see the hobbits, but they were not there. They were replaced by a small band of riders. I could make-out the leader. Eomer. I have met him before, but I didn't know him very well. The orcs and the Riders of Rohan merged, and blood was being split everywhere. The orc carrying me threw me on the ground, and ran off to the fight. 

I got up slowly, feeling the pain of the drop. Everything was a blur. I whipped around after hearing a hitch-pitched voice, and saw Pippin hurrying Merry in the direction of Fangorn Forest. I tried to run after them, but was thrown to the ground violently. I looked up in a daze, and saw a soldier holding his sword above me. "N-no!! Don't!" I said, throwing my hand in front of the deadly weapon. The soldier seemed to rethink my murder, but turned the sword around and rampaged the butt of the weapon into my head, knocking me out cold. 

I know this one is short.. But, it's going to be a two parter!! Sorry it's been a while since I've updated.. Yada yada, sickness, yada yada. This week might be really busy for me, but I'm going to try and keep my daily update schedule. BYE!!!
