Two weeks. It took two whole weeks to get from the elven king's halls to Rivendell. Tauriel sighed, Legolas hadn't been lying when he said the trip would be dangerous. Even though she was traveling with the prince and 10 other elves, that didn't stop the evil creatures of Dol Guldor from causing mischief. Getting out of Mirkwood was hard enough, but once the elves had gotten out of their home, the attacks really started. The poor elves began to travel faster and faster everyday, almost as if the ground behind them was catching fire.

"Sauron is becoming restless!" Legolas shouted one windy day. "We must move faster!"

"We are already moving far too fast!" Tauriel shouted from beside him, her hair lashing back and fourth in the wind.

"Prince Legolas!" A voice from the back of the group shouted.

The whole group tensed and quieted, struggling to hear against the wind, despite their elven hearing. Suddenly, they began to hear footsteps marching towards them in perfect rhythm.

"The Nazgul!" Florescat cried. "Run!"

"There are too many of them!" Legolas shouted back, squinting his eyes as they began to appear. "About 100 in total."

In one swift movement, Tauriel had her arrow knocked in her bow.

"Dar!" Legolas commanded her.

Tauriel didn't shoot, but kept her arrow raised as the other elves raised their bows as well. They all instinctively formed a circle and awaited orders.

"Naur!"

As Tauriel saw Florescat shoot down the last Nazgul, she looked around and noticed with a sigh of relief no elves were dead. No one had any visible wounds, as elves are, but Tauriel still felt exhausted. Had she not been on a horse, she probably would have dropped to the ground right then and there, for reasons only Florescat and her knew.

"You cannot keep putting yourself through this torture," Florescat told Tauriel, riding up to her.

"It is not torture," Tauriel responded stubbornly. "And I will not have to put up with this much longer."

Florescat looked doubtful, but she did not dare argue with her princess again.

"We must keep moving!" Legolas told them, riding to the front of the group.

Florescat flashed Tauriel a smug look, then rode to the back of the group again.

Tauriel narrowed her eyes, and without another word, rode after Legolas, not giving Florescat the satisfaction of knowing how she felt.

Elven words:

Dar-stop

Naur- fire

Sorry this short chapter took so long, I've been catching up on assignments that I missed when I went for my extraction. On the bright side, my mouth no longer hurts as bad as it used to. Anyways, I finished my web for this, so now chapters will probably come sooner. Next chapter will be the council of Elrond, so if anyone knows any good websites for LOTR movie quotes, let me know. Until next chapter- Mallowbloom
