Ok, as so many people were requesting, I decided to bring you the new chapter a day earlier than I had been planning. So, here it is!

The Orcs exploded into the room, and the silence the Mines had once taken upon was now filled with the sound of clashing swords, arrows whizzing through the air, and the battle cries of Orcs. Legolas fought through the pain that clouded his mind, but the Orcs saw his weakness and the pained look in his eyes, and the larger of the Orcs took advantage when the Elf let his guard down for only a second. The Orc grinned and plunged his rusty sword into Legolas's side. The Elf gave a soft gasp, and hissed when the Orc brutally pulled the sword out.
Legolas had to fight with himself to keep his body upright, not willing to give up without a fight. He took one swipe at the Orc, and it fell to the ground, Legolas having decapitated the disgusting creature. The other Orcs exchanged glances quickly before advancing on the ever-weakening Elf. Legolas heard before he saw the gigantic cave troll break into the room, knocking down the remains of the old wooden door. The rest of the Orcs fled, not wanting to be crushed by the troll.
The troll took one look at Legolas on a balcony of some sort, and decided that he would get rid of him first. The troll grabbed a long chain and whipped it near Legolas. The Elf jumped, avoiding the near-fatile blow; the troll, now angry, swung again, right above Legolas's head. Legolas ducked, again dodging the obstacle. The troll swung one last time, and the chain looped around a column. Legolas held the chain steady with his foot, and then climbed the chain and jumped on the troll's head.
He shot two arrows into its head, a wound that should've killed it, but the troll just flung him off, and then spotted its next victim...Frodo. Frodo tried to trick the giant troll at first, but to no avail. Aragorn ran to help him, but the troll knocked him aside; the ranger was thrown into a wall, unconscious. Frodo ran to him, trying to rouse him, but the troll stood over him, and Frodo barely got out of the way before the troll swung its blade.
The troll wasn't done with Frodo. Frodo leaned up against a wall, and the troll smiled an ugly smile before plunging the sword into Frodo's side. Frodo gasped as the blade was twisted deeper, until the troll wrenched it out. Frodo fell to the ground, and everyone thought him dead. Pippin and Merry teamed up and climbed onto the troll. Pippin was thrown off soon, but Merry stayed atop the troll, wanting to avenge his friend and companion.
The troll roared, and Legolas took out his bow and arrows, shooting them all at the troll. They flew through the air with graceful but deadly elligance before the troll fell, dead, to the stone floor. While everyone else went immediately to Frodo, who was miraculously alive, Legolas leaned up against a near-cracked column, trying to catch his breath. His wound hurt more than most of his usual wounds that he had gotten before, and the pounding increased in his head. Legolas felt drained from the battle, but he still refused to let it show. He stood up straight, wincing; but no one noticed, everyone's attention at the moment on Frodo.
Then, Gandalf said, "Let us hurry and try to get out of here while we can. There are more dangerous things in here besides Orcs and trolls. Be on your guard." And with that happy remark, the Fellowship filed out of the room. No one noticed that Legolas walked slightly hunched, not straight and proud like he usually did. They were all too busy trying to escape the darkness of the Mines of Moria, the shadows stretching far and wide, like claws trying to catch them.

Wood Elf luver: I know, that Gandalf line was at the beginning, but I didn't have anything for anyone to say, and I just wanted a little dialogue in there to make it more realistic. But no one noticed Legolas had a wound! I hope that it doesn't turn fatile! But you never know where my imagination will go. Sometimes my imagination surprises even me, like it did in A Random Story. Since when was Deliarna an Elf in my mind? I don't know where my mind is going, but it will probably drag all of you who are following this story along with it, so, good luck. TTYL! :)
