Chapter 21 (really?): Legolas

I knew I had to talk to him, but I was hoping it wouldn't be so soon – I had to have all my arguments set straight before approaching him.

"Who?" I asked.

He laughed in amusement as he stepped forward and answered, "Your uncle and Gandalf, how are they?"

"Oh, they are very stressed, who wouldn't be in these times." I then turned to look out over the small section of the fort in a manner that would suggest I didn't want to talk about anything. Yet, he stepped up next to me and sighed as he looked out also.

"Will we survive this?"

I turned to him and smiled softly, "have faith in us humans. We are not as week as you think."

He raised an eyebrow at me, with laughter in my voice I asked, "What? Do you really think us that bad?"

He shook his head and turned to look out over the deep with a small smile on his face. It was a perfect Kodak moment.

I frowned when the wind blew some of his hair in the way of my view, before I could stop myself; I reached over and moved it behind his ear. He gracefully grabbed my hand before I could move it away.

My heart was in my throat, beating faster than I could count, I had no choice but to meet his eyes. He opened his mouth as to say something, then closed it, this process happened about 3 times. On the fourth, he opened his mouth and sighed as he said, "I would very much like to learn that language of yours."

If I was in an anime, I would have been on the floor with my eyes crossed from the surprise.

"Sure." I said with a forced smile. He examined me with a small smile of his own, making me want to go all goo-goo eyes – yet again. Although after a while I started to get uncomfortable.

Suddenly, his smile started to fade until it was a frown. He turned away with his "blank mask" and swallowed slightly as he said, "Ethan is a very lucky man."

I did not know what to say or do. I could not say that I did not love him because than everything was going to be for nothing and I was going to have to refuse Legolas, I was not ready for it. Yet I could not lie because….well…I could not find it in my heart to lie to him. So I just did not say anything and looked away.

He sighed and still not looking at me asked in an emotionless voice, "What is your home like?" I was about to begin describing my home when he raised his hand to stop me and listened intently to the wind.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "They are here."

I raised my eyebrow at him when I asked, "you knew the elves would come?"

He frowned with confusion, "Elves? Those are orc horns." He then looked down at my clothing and his eyes widened, "You do not have your armor on! Hurry! Go to the armory and get ready! I believe Theolin has some stuff to give you from your uncle."

He saw that I was still standing there with a very confused look on my face and quickly turned me around and pushed me towards the armory, "Go!" I nodded and started to make my way to the armory.

Legolas was right; Theolin did have things to give me. "How on earth did Miguel have time to ask you for these?" My uncle had ordered special guards with spikes on them, which stretched from the tip of my middle finger to my elbow.

Theolin shrugged and turned away to leave. I laughed in amusement, and then started to put on my armor.

When I stepped outside, it had already started raining. I made my way over to Aragorn and pointed under us, "We are above Helm's Deep only weakness!"

He ran to the edge of the wall and looked down, "Fire will undo it!" I shouted above the hard rain. "That is impossible! Fire can not undo stone!"

"You are starting to sound like Théoden" I mumbled to myself then out loud, "Yeah well they invented gun powder early!"

"We will watch it!"

I placed my hand on his shoulder and smiled, "May the Force be with you – and of course the rest of us too!"

He nodded his understanding, "Come, let us see our friends."

That was when we first heard the pounding. As I tried o look over the edge to see the army, water got in my eyes. I looked up to the sky and cursed it for beginning to rain sooner than it should have.

"Are you praying for our survival?" I turned to Legolas with narrowed eyes as I asked, "Aren't you supposed to be over there?" I pointed towards the area I remembered him at from the movie.

"Argh… This spot is no better than the last one!" I raised an eyebrow at Gimli and Legolas: then turned and watched as Aragorn walked to stand next to him.

"Well lad, whatever luck you live by, lets hope it lasts the night." Gimli said.

A very confident sounding Legolas said, "Your friends are with you, Aragorn."

I smiled as I remembered this scene from the movie; at least the elves were not here.

As we all know, Gimli then said, "Let's hope they last the night."

"If not, put your head between your legs and kiss your bum goodbye." Everyone within hearing distance looked at me with surprise. I then continued with my best Australian accent, "That's called sarcasm, lovesey."

Suddenly the marching stopped.

Gimli began to jump up and down trying to see, "What's happening out there?"

"Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?"

We all looked at each other and laughed.

The Uruks started to stomp; Aragorn drew his sword – it signaled everyone else to ready their weapon.

I started to grow impatient and the stomping was getting annoying. So I did the only logical Phryne thing possible……I discreetly nudged the bottom tip of the bow – which was held by an old man standing next to me. He released the arrow and it hit an Uruk-hai, making it fall down dead.

"Hold!" Aragorn shouted.

The Uruks began to pound their chests in anger while shouting out to us, then they began to charge.

"So it begins." I said, stealing Théoden's line, then for some reason I began to laugh like a maniac, "Mwahahahahaha!"

"Prepare to fire!" The Heir of Gondor ordered. "Their armor is weak at the neck and beneath the arms." Legolas told me. I just rolled my eyes and stopped myself from saying that I knew that already.

When Aragorn shouted to "Release the arrows!" I did just that and watched as my arrow hit an Uruk-hai under its arm. Out of its pain it cut off the head of the beast standing next to him.

"Umm….ok." I said, ignoring Gimli's question and firing another arrow.

"Send them tome, c'mon!"

"Gimli that is not proper engli- never mind." I said when the ladders were hooked on to the wall.

"Swords! Swords!" shouted Captain Obvious – otherwise known as Aragorn – as the Uruks climbed on to the wall.

I waited until an Uruk-hai's head appeared until I chopped it off with my sword – which I am still trying to remember what its name is. I heard loud footsteps behind me, so I turned and did a quick job of him. Suddenly, I found that a massive Uruk was backing me away from the ladder because I kept on knocking off heads.

As it advanced towards me, I prepared myself for the blow, when suddenly, it dropped dead. Without even looking at the arrow imbedded in the back of its neck, I shouted to Legolas, "Would you stop! I could have killed him too!" He just rolled his eyes and continued to kill Uruk-hai left and right.

I heard an oncoming Uruk from behind; I turned with to hit it with my sword, only to find that it had been blocked by Ethan.

"Have you seen my little brother?" he asked as he killed the orc behind me.

"You have a brother!" I asked while tripping the Uruk-hai behind Ethan and swiftly removing the life from him.

"Yes! His name is Etharlin!"

I turned to look at him with wide eyes, "You mean the one I use to tell stories to?" He nodded.

"Bring him down, Legolas! Kill him! Kill him!"

I to watch as Legolas tried to kill the ugly Uruk-hai running towards the Achilles heel of Helm's Deep.

I ran towards the edge of the wall in time to watch Legolas successfully shoot him down. My jump for joy was interrupted with a scream of horror. The Torch he was holding kept on rolling. Rolling towards the wall.

Then, suddenly everything went black.

Oh my god! Is this the end? If you review I might not end it there. Mwahahaha! Oh, yes, since I am running late for a date, I will not answer reviews – but I will next time!
