Hi again, time for another chapter----thanks again for reviewing everyone….mind speech in ( blah )
Chapter 25--Bold Action
Jaisia lowered her blade. "Why? You'll probably kill us both anyway," she said.
"True, but your friend will bleed his life away like a butchered hog, now drop the sword or else," the man said. He pressed the dagger tighter against Legolas' throat.
( Jaisia, don't! Get out of here ) Legolas pleaded.
( Don't move, little brother. I've learned new tricks ) Jaisia replied. She started to put the blade down like he'd ordered.
The man turned his head away slightly. "Take it from her," he ordered one of the men.
His attention was diverted only a few seconds, but Jaisia moved with the speed befitting an Elf. She brought her arm up then snapped it forward.
The man holding Legolas had just faced forward then he gasped in shock. His eyes crossed to look at a slender dagger lodged between his eyes. The dagger fell away from Legolas' throat as he fell.
Legolas didn't know exactly what had happened, but when his captor's grip loosened and the dagger fell away from his throat he tore himself free. He whirled, ready to fight then he realized what had happened..
Jaisia expected to be swarmed by the surviving attackers, but all of them were just staring at the body in shock.
"She's killed our boss, Garth is dead!!" one said..
Jaisia raised her blade. "Does anyone else want to die?" she demanded.
The five men looked at each other then turned their mounts and galloped off, leaving Jaisia and Legolas behind.
Legolas pulled the dagger free and cleaned it off then returned it to it's owner. "Nice throw, but what if you had missed?" he asked.
"Would it have mattered?" Jaisia asked.
"Nay, I suppose not," Legolas admitted. "Where did you learn how to throw a dagger with such accuracy?" He went to fetch his other dagger.
Jaisia grinned at him. "I spent a lot of time with Aragorn's weapon master myself and fuzzy made the dagger for me," she said.
Legolas laughed. "You are wonderful, soul-sister," he said.
"You only say that because it is so true," Jaisia teased impishly.
Jaisia and Legolas laughed together then settled down again after disposing of the bodies. They managed to get a bit more sleep and the next morning they headed of towards Minas Tirith again, this time with greater haste.
**MEANWHILE**
Sandi cursed in fury and threw a vase against the wall to shatter with a crash. "Damned fool!! He's failed me even after I gave him spells to help him. I should have never trusted another to take care of those two. I must dispose of them myself--but how?" she wondered.
Great throw and save by Jaisia--right everyone? R/R please!!!
