Just like old times.

Summery: Legolas and Aragorn meet an old friend, but it's not the happy reunion they expected.
A scream of pain ripped through the silent night. As it died down, it was replaced by harsh laughter.
Aragorn studied the tree line carefully searching for the source of the sound. He could have sworn he had heard something, or someone moving through the undergrowth. Just as he was about to admit to himself that he had imagined it, he heard it again. He swung round so quickly that it caused his dozing companion to stir. The elf looked up at the ranger from where he lay with confused eyes.
"Estel, Mani naa ta?" Estel, What is it?
Aragorn remained staring at the trees as he spoke. "Lasto." Listen
Legolas glanced up at his friend and then turned and looked in the same direction as the human. After a while, hearing nothing he turned back to him.
"I hear nothing." Aragorn sighed and finally let his eyes leave the spot they had been focused on, and looked down at the ground.
"I am sure I heard someth..." he hadn't finished his sentence when both their heads turned in the same direction, both having heard the same noise. Legolas soundlessly rose to his feet, reaching for his bow as he went, notching an arrow quickly and aiming it where they had heard the sound. Beside him, Aragorn unsheathed his blade before looking to his friend.
Legolas nodded and then silently made his way towards the trees with Aragorn by his side. As soon as they were underneath the branches they split up, Legolas turning to the left, Aragorn to the right.
Legolas crept through the undergrowth, thanking the valar for the elves ability to move soundlessly. He strained his hearing to catch any sound of the intruder but heard none. However he did not lower his loaded bow as he had learnt too many times that even if an elf couldn't hear anyone, it didn't mean there wasn't anyone there.
Aragorn looked up at the boughs of the tree he was stood next to. He saw no one. He sighed under his breath, he knew there was someone near but he was hoping he would find him first. He pulled his hood further over his face before he continued on cautiously through the wood.
Legolas spun around as he heard what he could only say was a footfall behind him. He let his arrow fly and before it had reached his target he had notched another. He paused before letting the new arrow fly. He saw his previous arrow protruding from a tree-trunk where the figure had previously stood. Then he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned just in time to see a cloak disappearing into the shadows of the forest.
Aragorn tensed as he saw movement through the trees just ahead of him. He grinned inwardly and crept forwards. He stopped behind a tree just short of where he had seen the movement and raised his sword. Then he jumped out, only to find himself face to face with a very startled looking deer that galloped into the trees straight away.
He sighed and let his sword drop down slightly, when suddenly his sword was kicked out his hand. He spun round reaching for his dagger but was stopped mid-action as steel was placed against his throat from the side. Aragorn heard, rather then saw, the person emerge from behind a tree and he could do nothing as his arm was pulled behind his back painfully.
Legolas ran swiftly through the trees in the direction he guessed the person had gone. Then he heard something drop to the ground slightly to his left. The elf-prince quickly changed his direction slightly and sprinted towards the source of the sound. Suddenly he saw two figures through the trees, one he instantly recognised as his friend. What he saw made him cry out.
Aragorn kicked backwards with his foot causing the person to release him with a groan. Aragorn made to grab for his sword but was stopped when he was kicked in the back of his legs. He fell to his knees and before he could rise, the person had pressed the point of his sword into the small of his back. Suddenly from behind them came a voice.
"Estel!"
Aragorn spun his head round in the direction of Legolas' voice. The person did the same but when they heard the name they looked back at the man knelt on the floor before them. Aragorn heard him mutter quietly "Estel?" but the person had no time to dwell on it as Legolas flung himself at his legs and he collapsed sideways.
Legolas knocked the sword away as they fell to the ground. As they hit the ground, Legolas falling hard on the person, he heard the person groan in pain, and he smiled. Then, to the elf's surprise, the person made no attempt to struggle but instead he heard a small chuckle coming from the hooded person. He kept hold of the person's wrists but leant back slightly.
"Mae Govannen, Legolas." Hello A soft voice said between chuckles. Legolas, stunned, looked down at the figure he held on the ground. He recognised that voice.
Then the figure's hood slid back from their face.
Legolas gasped.
there's the first chapter! What you all think? Please review and tell me!!
