I Just Can't Help Falling In Love With You By Robin Girl Chapter 6 Throwing A Took

(Hope you enjoy this. ^^; I'm busy tonight. LOL. Remember Pip is a hobbit child. 7 years old in a human child's life.)

Frodo sighed and looked behind him, the rain hadn't lessened, in fact, if it was possible, it was coming down harder. Poor Pippin was trudging slowly behind him being half carried, half drug, by Merry up the lonely hills of the barren land.

Pippin was completely soaked through the skin. He sniffled and coughed as the cold rain made him sick.

Merry had run out of options. He had carried his cousin earlier, then the rain made their capes heavy. The Brandybuck wanted to take Pippin's cape off but decided against it. If he did Pippin was liable to get even sicker than he already was.

"Meeerrrryyy, I don't want to walk anymore. My tummy hurts, and I'm cold." Tears were falling from Pippin's eyes, the little one weakly grabbed his elder cousin's hand begging for him to stop.

Strider sighed, he couldn't hold it in any longer. The ranger turned around and started down past Sam, then past Frodo.

"Don't hurt him, please, he's just a baby." The Ring Bearer pleaded. "Let him ride on Bill.."

Pippin saw Strider making his way towards them and quickly gulped. "I..I'm sorry," The 7 year old stammered out, "I..I'll walk.."

To everyone's surprise Strider gathered Pippin in his arms and started walking back up. Merry was worried about his cousin's safety and followed the ranger.

"Are you going to throw me?" Pippin asked shivering, his little hands holding on to Strider's cloak.

"Why would I throw you?"

"That's what Roy and his friends do." The young hobbit replied shakily.

"Who is Roy?" Strider asked feeling very protective all of a sudden over his burden.

"Roy Bracegirdle.."

Frodo who had been listening the whole time finally spoke up. "Pippin does he really throw you?"

"Yes, he grabs my hair and then he picks me up by the waist then throws me into his friends."

Strider gave the Ring Bearer a disappointed look, how could have Frodo not know this was happing. "Does Merry know?"

Merry had dropped back a bit after he was sure Pippin was going to be ok. He was now chatting with Sam as they walked.

The seven year old shook his head, "No, Roy threatened to throw me in Bywater if I did.."

"What's Bywater?"

"It's a huge lake that's very deep in some parts." Frodo replied. "Pippin are you warmer now?"

"Yes."

"Alright..I'm going back with Merry than."

"Ok.."

End Chapter 6
