Chapter four.
Lúthien heard the painful scream, her eyes scanning the ground to see an orc pierce her friends shoulder with his sword. Quickly to save Larien from any more danger, she removed her last arrow, shooting it into the beasts head. Time seemed to move so slow as she leapt from her perch and landed on the ground, rushing to help her friend, Legolas covering Lúthien as she did so.
Larien clutched her shoulder, gazing into Frodo's eyes "Well Frodo Baggins… We should get you out of here…" her voice broke at the last few words as another wave of pain rushed threw her. Frodo didn't speak he just gave her a short nod, his dark brown curly hair falling over his face as she tried to stand, shaking slightly before straightening her posture to look down at him "Do not take this as an offense, but what are you?" Frodo looked up at her, blinking slightly in confusion as he thought to himself,
"Has she never seen a hobbit before?" Larien smiled slightly, shaking her head "No, I don't think I have Mr Baggins" Frodo's mouth dropped a little, rather shocked she answered his questions even though no words left his lips. The silence seemed to last forever as they just gazed at each other; it was only when Aragorn gripped her arm that she flinched turning to look at him
"Larien… Are you alright your shoulder" his eyes looked down at her bloody hand gripping the wound tightly attempting to stop the bleeding "Stop your worrying Aragorn, I'm fine. I was just protecting Mr Baggins. Anyone would have done the same" Frodo looked at Aragorn and then returned his ocean blue gaze back to Larien.
"I thought I was dead, but she appeared out of nowhere, using her body as a shield to protect me…" Aragorn looked at him, kneeling down to his level "It seems that you are very lucky to be alive." Aragorn stood and picked up Larien's sword, handing it to her before looking at the battle field "The fight is diming and we should leave now in case another swarm of the dark beasts invades the forest"
Lúthien was still running towards her friend, watching Boromir protect the three hobbits with the small bearded ginger man. There were only a few Goblins remaining and they seemed to be taking care of it, with the help of Legolas who was still perched in the tree. After a few moments that felt like forever, she arrived to stand next to her friend, only to cover her mouth in shock at the severity of the injury. "Larien… I didn't foresee this, I don't understand it should have been him with the injury" Lúthien glanced down to the tiny man known as Frodo and shook her head slowly,
"Lúthien, Don't worry I will be fine…" Of course she was happy that she was the one with the gift of telepathy, because otherwise she would know how much pain she was in. Aragorn looked at the three of them as Boromir the small ginger bearded man known as a dwarf and the three hobbits ran over to them calling Frodo's name.
"Mister Frodo! Are you alright?" the ginger haired hobbit gripped Frodo's armed tightly, looking to see if he had any injuries.
"Sam stop worrying, I'm fine..." Sam looked at him and nodded slowly looking at two other hobbits, sighing slightly in relief, he was sure that something bad was going to happen to him but because of Larien and the help of Lúthien everything seemed to turn out ok.
The two remaining hobbits stepped forward and stood in front of the two girls "Who are these people?" said the first hobbit looking at his friend "I don't know Merry but I am pretty sure they weren't on the journey when we started" Merry looked at him and slapped the back of his head "Of course they weren't Pippin don't you think we would have noticed?" Pippin shrugged while rubbing the back of his head narrowing his eyes slightly.
Aragorn turned to Legolas when he arrived, placing a hand on his shoulder "Larien needs elvish medicine, she is losing a lot of blood" Larien looked at Aragorn and grit her teeth "I'm fine, honestly. We should leave before any more trouble arrives." Lúthien sighed moving closer towards her friend, wrapping her arm around Larien's waist as her knees gave way, Legolas helping to keep her on her feet.
"You are so stubborn Mellon-Nin, you need medical attention or your health will decrease" Larien turned her head to her closest friend, her skin a sickly colour and her eyes not as bright as they once used to be.
Aragorn looked at his companions and sheathed his sword, trying to decide on the best decision "Legolas, we shall carry on our journey to Lotlorian and we will seek medical attention there" Legolas nodded and even though Boromir disagreed he couldn't leave a girl to die, it was wrong. He couldn't live with the guilt. "Gimli?" Aragorn questioned "Aye, sounds like a plan" the dwarf nodded.
The four hobbits; Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo walked alongside Gimli and Boromir, Legolas and Lúthien walked a few paces in front and Aragorn wrapped his arms around Larien, helping her to walk as she began to weaken.
Lúthien glanced over her shoulder, gazing at her friend "Stay strong Mellon-Nin, I don't want to lose you" Larien's eyes beamed up at her and she smiled weakly at her friends words, a simple tear rolling down her cheek.
