My first time writing a fanfiction! No flames plz! =)
Chapter One- Failure
~~~Aragorn's POV~~~
The battle of Helms Deep has begun, men and elves alike are battling against Uruk-hai, through the night air, you could hear Gimli the dwarf's war cars, the slashing of swords, the swishing of arrows, and the "thumps" of the dead carcasses falling on to the cold ground. 'Will we take the win of this war?' I ask myself, I am both unsure and confident. Suddenly, I see something bright and burning. 'Oh no!' Below, the troops have installed the explosive bombs into the hole into the wall, and a Uruk soldier is now carrying a torch, and is running towards the hole. I only have a sword in hand, and can't kill the Uruk; I call to Legolas, "Dago han! Dago han, Legolas! Dago han!!!" [Legolas, stop him! Kill him!] I see Legolas, confused, then, he aims his arrow to the Uruk. Legolas hits the Uruk with two arrows, but fails to kill it, letting the Uruk-hai soldier light the explosives. A part of the wall explodes, leaving many men and elves and Uruks dead. Huge boulders fly through the air and land heavily in to the ground, killing other Uruks on the battlefield. I feel the wave of the bomb's explosion, and fall to the ground. Darkness swirls around me.
~~~Legolas' POV~~~
I hear Aragorn calling to me, but I am confused, kill who? There are thousands of Uruk soldiers everywhere! Who do you want me to kill? My attention is suddenly drawn to a flaming torch, held by a Uruk soldier. I finally understand, and I try my best to kill it; I shoot one arrow into its shoulder. 'No! I missed! How can this be?' I shoot another one, and it hits the Uruk's neck, but still he keeps on running. 'Damn orc! Do not be so stubborn, and die already!' I see the Uruk running.closer and closer to the hole.suddenly, everything in my mind has slowed down.the Uruk threw himself into the hole of the wall where the bomb was located. BOOM! A part of the wall explodes. Men, elves, and Uruks are flung into the air, and onto the ground, dead. 'NO! NO! NO! This can't be happening! NO! I have failed them! I have failed them all! Wait! Who is that, lying on the ground? Oh no.that's Aragorn.my oldest and best friend! What have I done? No.I have failed you.Aragorn.I failed you.father, Gimli, I failed the fellowship, and Helms Deep. I couldn't kill that one Uruk.why?' I stand there, dazed, motionless and I stare at Aragorn's body. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain on my back, something sharp pierced into my skin, I turn around, just to see another arrow come flying towards me, embedding its tip into my chest, near me heart. I gasp in pain, and I see a Uruk soldier grinning, holding a crossbow in his hand. I charge to him, and with my twin elven swords, I kill him with ease. 'Damn, the arrows must have poison on them, but what can I do? I must help to defend Helms Deep.I have already failed once, I will not fail again.' My anger runs deep, and I already feel my body weakening with every movement that I make. I pull out the arrows from my body, and I wince in pain, then, without further hesitation, I charge at the Uruks, killing them, praying to the Valar that he will keep the rest of us safe, and let us win this war.
~~~Author's POV~~~
Théoden looks at all of this in shock. Immediately Saruman's army starts to crowd through the hole in the wall. And at the gates, the enemy is trying to come through with force. Théoden shouts, "Brace the gates!!" The men run to the gate and try to hold it, as the enemy pounds at the other side with a long and thick log. Théoden yells again, "Hold them! Stand fast!" Aragorn is conscious again and is getting up, as the Uruks run towards him. Gimli sees this and jumps down from the wall, landing in a pool of water. He bravely starts to hack the attacking Uruks with his axe. "Gimli! Prepare to charge!" Aragorn yells. Gimli nods, and continues fighting, but is hit but a Uruk, and falls in to the pool of water. Aragorn then shouts to the men and elves, "Hado i philinn! Herio!" (Hurl the arrows! Charge!) They attack, with Aragorn leading them. Legolas continues to use his rage to kill the Uruk-hai. He takes a shield from the ground and rides down the stairs on it, fiercely shooting arrows at the Uruks that come in his way. The enemy continues flowing in from the hole in the wall, but they are met by men and elves, and Gimli who got up from the pool of water with Aragorn's aid. And so, the war continues, and the sun is about to rise.
~~~Legolas POV~~~
'I feel my body weakening.I am weary, and I want to sleep.the pain in my chest and my back continue to sting; I feel the poison inside my body, coursing through my blood. I continue to fight. Then, I see Haldir; an orc was sneaking up behind him with an axe. I see this, instantly, I think of not wanting to fail him.so, with all my strength, I run towards the Uruk, and kill it. I am relieved, and Haldir looks at me with happiness and gratefulness, then, he runs, killing more orcs. Just as I was going to turn around, I felt yet another sharp pain in my side, this time, I see the orc that I supposedly killed stab its sword into me. The Uruk grinned, and pulled out the sword fast and hard. I want to cry out in pain, but I cannot, for I have my pride, instead, I gasp, and the Uruk kicks me. I fall down, over the wall of Helms Deep, I feel myself fall on the ground, hearing a crack in my right leg, then everything turned black. 'I am so tired, maybe I should sleep' and sleep, I did. My last sight before I fell into a state of unconsciousness, was the fair sun rising from the horizon, emitting warm and bright light.
