A/n: I promised to update soon, so I have (I NEVER break my promises) and also, it's my birthday today so, I thought I would update as a little present to you guys, because I hate surprises and therefore, my birthday. Also, it reminds me that I am getting older. Anyway, I don't know how long this chapter is going to be, so... yeah.

Please review! Thanks, Purple5901 xxx

Legolas's POV:

I didn't know where the orcs would be, exactly, so I went back to the place where she was taken from. I ran all the way, but it still took me the rest of the day and all of the night. I was exhausted by the time I reached the place. I could see Orc shaped footprint along the floor. Besides having a terrible headache from de-hydration and my vision was starting to blur from exhaustion, I followed them, hoping I would find Cellissel.

Cellissel's POV:

I don't know when I fell asleep, but I must have done at some point. My back ached when I woke, and I went to stretch out my muscles, but remembered the events of the night before when I found I couldn't. I wished Legolas was here, or I wish that he would come.

Why hasn't he come to help me? Does he care about me that little that he would leave me with the orcs? I thought to myself.

The large Orc came over to me a bent down until he was right in front of my face.

"Awake now, are we?" he snarled. His breath was repulsive and smelled like rotting meat. I turned my face away from the stench, resulting in him grabbing my face, roughly and turning it back to face him. "Look at me when I am talking to you, she-elf! Are you wondering why you little elf-friend hasn't come to save you? Don't worry; we have a special surprise for him, if he arrives!" He laughed in a dreadful, scratchy voice and then released my face and wandered off to join to other few orcs in the clearing.

Despite knowing the Legolas would probably be killed if he came, I still wished he would come.

Legolas's POV:

I could hear the barbaric sound of laughing orcs, and knew I was getting close to where they were. I carried on and soon I saw a clearing just behind a small clump of bushes. I knelt down behind them and glanced around quickly. Then I spotted Cellissel, tied to a tree, just in front of the bush I was hiding behind.

"Cellissel. Cellissel!" I whispered loudly, hoping she would hear me. She turned he head in my direction and her eyes widened when she saw me, but then a very large Orc came over to her, the same one that took her originally, and starting cutting her bonds. When they were lose, four more orcs came over to her and grabbed her arms and tried to drag her away, but she struggled and screamed and wriggled under the touch. But then the big Orc came up behind her, holding a large branch, and he hit her over her head, and she went limp in their arms.

Cellissel's POV:

"Cellissel. Cellissel!" I heard, coming from a bush right by the tree I was tied to. I turned to head to look, and I could see Legolas crouched down behind it. He signalled to me not to make any sounds and I nodded in response. Then the big Orc came back over to me, and started to cut the ropes that held me to the tree. I thought maybe they were going to let me go, but then four more orcs came over to me and grabbed my arms. I started struggling and screaming, but then I felt an overwhelming pain in the back of my head and everything went black.

Legolas's POV:

I made to step forward, and into the clearing, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to fight of my attacker but I was greeted by the face of one of my father's men. I looked behind him, and saw a group of maybe twenty, gathered behind him. I started at them in surprise.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed at them.

"King Thranduil sent us to follow you and then to bring you back to the palace," he replied.

"I am not leaving without Cellissel," I said and turned to walk into the clearing.

"Neither are we," the knight said, and then they all crouched down beside me.

"On the count of three," I said, and then they nodded their understanding. "Three, two, one. CHARGE!"

We burst through into the clearing, and scared the orcs half to death. We managed to kill about ten of them before they could even reach for their weapons. But then more of them poured through into the clearing, giving us quite a start. I looked around for Cellissel, and then I saw her dumped at the foot of a tree, completely forgotten about. I ran over to her a propped her limp body up against the tree. I could see the blood pouring down the side of her face from where the Orc hit her.

"Don't worry, I'll come to help you as soon as the orcs are dead," I whispered into her ear and then I planted a soft kiss onto her mouth. I stepped back up and ran to help the other elves kill the orcs. I was so preoccupied with killing the orcs that I didn't notice to large one sneak up to where Cellissel was, until all the others were dead.

I turned to where Cellissel was, and then I saw the big Orc holding a knife to her throat. She was just starting to regain consciousness. Her eyes widened and she gasped with fear when she realised the situation she was in.

"You might have killed my entire troop, but I still have the advantage. I know I am going to be killed by you, so why shouldn't I kill her before you kill me?" he snarled, in his throaty voice.

"Please. Let me go. I am of no use to you. You cannot win, so why do we need to cause more death?" she said, not sounding at all scared. I drew my bow quickly and shot at him, skimming his pointy ear. He reached his hand up to cradle the side of his face and Cellissel used this distraction to her advantage and elbowed him in the side. He released her, and she fell to the ground. I ran to her, and my men killed the Orc quickly.

Cellissel's POV:

I woke to find a knife pressed to my throat. I wasn't scared at all. I knew that it was pointless, but I tried to negotiate with the Orc anyway.

"Please. Let me go. I am of no use to you. You cannot win, so why do we need to cause more death?" I said my voice strong. I saw Legolas draw his bow, and shoot at his face, skimming his ear. When he raised his hand to cradle his face, I elbowed him in the side and he released me, and I dropped to the ground. Legolas ran to me and the Orc fell down dead soon after. I rested my head on his shoulder and he held me in his arms and helped me to my feet. I turned and pulled him into a hug. When we broke apart, I rested my forehead against his.

"Thank you," I whispered and then pulled him into a kiss.

A/n: Ok, so, this chapter is longer than the last couple of chapters because...I don't know why, it just is. I am not quite sure whether to continue this story or not to continue this story so if you could just let me know whether you think I should or should not continue this, that would be great!
