Okay folks--on with the fun!! So you like my hobbit?
Chapter 6--Cast Into Darkness
Early the next morning Jaisia, Legolas and Lightfingers joined Kyle for a lavish breakfast. The hobbit ate more then anyone, reminding Legolas of Pippin. He smiled slightly at the memory.
"I am sorry that I can not help you further, but I am the last of my order and I am not strong enough to fight him alone. I wish you the best of luck. Come here when you get the princess. I can help you get back to Minas Tirith safely," Kyle said.
"Thank you, we will," Legolas said. The three of them left Kyle's house and headed up the street. "So where are we going?" Legolas asked.
"To talk to some people, but first we need to pick up some things for bribes, that will make it easier," Lightfingers said. "Just stay with me and you'll be fine."
They had just entered the marketplace when Legolas spotted the six guards. "Looks like trouble," he muttered. He looked toward Lightfingers, only to find he was nowhere in sight.
Jaisia had noticed as well. "Just act natural, we don't know that they're after us," she said. The words had barely left her mouth when the six men headed right towards them.
"You were saying?" Legolas asked.
"Whoops, company," Jaisia said.
"Aye, this is a whoops if I ever saw one," Legolas said.
Shoppers scattered quickly out of the patrol's way as they approached. They stopped in front of Jaisia and Legolas. "You are under arrest, come quietly and you will not be harmed," one said.
"We've committed no crime," Legolas said.
"Resisting arrest is a crime," the guard smirked nastily.
"Is being ugly a crime? Because if it is you've broken it six times all ready," Jaisia said sweetly.
The guard's face reddened at the insult and reddened even more when several people nearby snickered at Jaisia' comment. "Enough!! Will you come quietly or must we take you by force?" he demanded.
Neither Legolas nor Jaisia wanted to hurt any guards, but Kyle's warning about being captured rang in their minds. "Legolas, on my back--hurry!!" Jaisia ordered. She turned and ran the minute Legolas obeyed. She hadn't taken two steps before she let out a startled cry and fell heavily. Legolas was flung off and hit his head then everything went black as he lost consciousness.
Lightfingers cursed vilely under his breath as he watched the guards take the Elf and Centaur away. He hid in the alley and began to try to think of a way to help the Elf and Centaur before it was to late. He and Kyle had not expected this to happen.
**Meanwhile**
The necromancer smirked triumphantly as the guards captured the Elf and Centaur. Soon they would both be secured in his dungeon, no longer a threat and at his mercy. He planned to show none to either of them. "You were fools to come here looking for the girl and now you'll both suffer for it!!" he vowed.
Muhahahahaha!!! Captured and in my power!! R/R please!!!!
