The Mines Of Moria

Legolas began to stir just as Frodo had helped Gandalf to open the doors. They creaked and cracked as they slowly opened. Obviously they hadn't been for a while.

"Legolas," said Boromir as he noticed the elf's piercing blues begin to open "Aragorn, Legolas is waking up." Said Boromir as he turned to Aragorn.

"Legolas, how do you feel my friend?" asked Aragorn as he gave Legolas a sympathetic look.

"I am fine my friend."

Aragorn rolled his eyes.

"Thought you might say that. We must enter the mines, can you walk?"

Legolas nodded in reply. Aragorn helped his friend to his feet. Legolas swayed for a moment but he soon stood with his normal composure.

Aragorn stayed by Legolas' side, secretly keeping an eye on him. Gimli began rambling on about 'meat of the bone' and 'roaring fires', Legolas paid little attention. At that moment all he could think about was his head ache and it made it worse when he thought about that.

Before he knew it, screams echoed in his ears. It was Frodo. He turned to see a great beast. Its foal teeth mocked the fellowship as it held Frodo tightly in its grasp.

'I must help' he though as he went to grab his bow. A screaming pain erupted in his head 'maybe not the best idea.' Black dots danced in front of his eyes.

Someone shouted his name, but he could not tell who it was. His mind cut off all senses. He stood there, completely helpless. He touched the back of his head; it was sticky.

He stared at the blood on his hand, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief as he realised why he was in a state at the moment in time.

Aragorn grabbed Legolas' shoulder and dragged him further into Moria. He stared as the door gave way leaving them with only one path.

"We now have but one choice." Said Gandalf as he shot Legolas' a concerned "we must endure the long, dark of Moria."

Legolas just nodded and looked to Aragorn for guidance.

"Be on your guard, the are older and fouler things than Orcs. in the deep places of the world." Gandalf more meant that for Aragorn as he noticed Legolas' helpless expression.

"You'll be fine, I've got your back." Said Aragorn as he placed a comforting hand on the elf's shoulder.

Legolas nodded and followed as the fellowship made a move. His head throbbed, he just hope that he wouldn't have to use his bow. Or fight for that matter.

The corpses of dwarves were scattered all over the floors of the Mines. A feeling formed in the pit of Aragorn's stomach as his eyes looked over the area around them.

"Let us hope that our presence will go unnoticed."

They swiftly made their way through corridors and passages. The ceilings were so high above them, that it was just a black abyss above them. Aragorn shot Legolas as concerned glance, which Legolas returned. He felt it too, the feeling that there was a fight ahead.

Sorry its so short. And sorry it took so long. I am going to live with my dad so its hell for me at the moment. I will try to update more often now that it has quietened down a little. Please Review
