All right….this took forever, yes. And I really, really was going to make it longer, but I didn't, and so I've decided to just post it like this, because something is better than nothing, right? Right? Okay…why is everyone glaring at me and holding pitchforks!

Legolas struggled desperately against the two figures, knowing he could not get captured. He struggled blindly, though, for the first thing the two had done was take a sack and pull it over his head. He didn't even know what he was fighting, let alone who. They wrestled around on the ground, Legolas getting the rather raw end of the deal.
However, it appeared as if the two didn't want to hurt him, merely restrain him. Although Legolas didn't want to be restrained, either.
"By the Valar! Let me go!" Legolas yelled out, but neither responded. At last they stopped him, one sitting on his stomach while the other pinned his hands to the ground.
"Gag him," one growled, obviously trying to disguise his voice. The other carefully lifted the sack high enough up so that it still covered his eyes but freed his mouth. Then he/it tied proceeded to tie a piece of cloth around his mouth.
Legolas frowned—the cloth was obviously clean, and the two beings were treating him far too gently. By the Valar, what was going on?
They blindfolded him as well, and bound his hands behind his back. Then they lifted him onto his feet and shoved him forward, commanding him to walk. Legolas did not move, waiting to see their response.
"I will beat you within an inch of your life!" one growled, his voice threatening. As Legolas was gagged, he could not answer, but neither did he move which was response enough. His captors tied a rope to Legolas' hands and, holding the rope, shoved him forward again, to no avail.
Finally, still gripping the rope tightly, they began walking—forcing him to either stumble quickly backwards or be dragged along the ground. At first Legolas opted to be dragged along, but when he realized they were neither tiring nor seemed to care, he stumbled back up to his feet and walked with them at their first break.
For some reason, the two seemed very familiar, but blindfolded and reduced to listening to obviously disguised voices, he couldn't quite tell.
They walked for half-a-day, Legolas fearing that they were getting farther and farther from Aragorn.
Suddenly, the two shoved him down and flanked him, and Legolas could hear the whisper of bows being drawn.
"Who is there?" one called in a clear voice. An undisguised voice. A voice clearly belonging to one of Lord Elrond's sons…Elrohir. Which meant…
"Come forward!" Elladan cried.
By the Valar—why must he find his captors to be friends when threatened by danger? A bright flash of light enveloped them, piercing even through the blindfold, and the two elves protecting him cut his bonds and shoved his bow into his hands.
"Something is out there," Elrohir whispered, not wasting time on an explanation. A bright light flashed again, and they fell to the ground unconscious.

Okay….don't kill me! The next chapter is supposed to be Aragorn again, and I WILL make it longer! (I think)
Thanks!
