CHAPTER 5

" Tell me." Laughter filled the air like a sweet song

" Who's there?" She twirled around in confusion, trying to find sight of her company.

" Tell me."

" What do you want me to tell you?"

" Tell me."

" I do not know what you want me to tell you." Meekly she walked upon moist dirt, twirling in hopes to lie eyes on her mysterious company.

" Don't you watch…accidents happen."

Her feet no longer felt the moist soil, her hair thrashed about her face. She could only let out a terse yelp before drawing in a large breath of air and squeezing her eyes shut, as she was dragged under water. For a few moments everything was silent, and her body could not move. She felt bound by some unknown force, her arms stretched out above her head like she was waiting for someone to save her.

" Tell me." Her eyes shot open, greeting two dull black ones, surrounded by a mass of black hair that framed the eyes like a snake. Everything was still, then she felt a tug at her arms, and looked up; someone was trying to pull her out.

" Legolas." Eowyn's eyes flared open, and just like in her dream a pair of dull black ones greeted her. He was positioned over her, which gave her the upper hand, and quickly she connected her knee with his groin. He doubled over. " LEGOLAS!" she yelped, but he just sat there. Something seemed wrong…he should have known this man was here.

She sprung to her feet. Feeling no pain, she gave the man a hard kick, this time directed at this stomach. She reached over for his sword, but he caught her by the hand, curled his feet up, pressed them against her chest, and kicked her over his head.

Thump!

Pain begun to envelop her again, and with a kick to her side it became more evident, " You thought you could defeat me?"

Her hands grabbed his feet and pulled, so that he fell to the floor. Immediately she rushed over to Legolas's side, trying to stir him awake.

" Legolas!"

She screamed in pain and fell backwards, as he had pulled her hair, hard. Her whole body squirmed, trying to make sure he would have no good hold on her. She pushed upwards, her feet clasping around the man's neck and pulled forward, making him once again land upon his back in pain.

She pulled herself up, struggling to stand as a wave of pain racked her small figure, and quickly she went to reach for one of Legolas' arrow. She received a blow to the face when she turned around; her hands trembled, as did her bottom lip.

Again he punched her, and she stumbled back a few paces, but then she pushed the arrow forward as she ran at the man, puncturing his breast and then his heart. His face turned with a hundred expressions before he gagged and fell forward, as she managed to stumble out of the way. She clutched her stomach as she crumbled to the floor, gasping for breath.

" Easy."

Eowyn groaned under her breath as she looked up to see yet another man standing over her. She couldn't handle a second one. He drew his sword, and she could only gulp as she squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the blade to end her life.

Thump! She cracked open an eye as she looked at the man before her, an arrow piercing his chest from front to back. " Legolas," she called as she turned, locking gaze with the Elf Prince's blue-gray orbs.

Everything calmed; they were still for a moment until a cry left the Prince's lip as an arrow bored through his shoulder. With a groan, he pulled the arrow free from its current position, and brought it to his nose before hurling it to the ground.

" Legolas…" Quickly he gathered her up, threw her over his uninjured arm, and began to run. He stumbled a few times, trying to dodge the arrows that closed in on him every step of the way.

" Mi'lady hold on! We are going for a bath!" He jumped, and she bit down on her bottom lip…They would never make it!

The water slapped against her skin as they dove into the rushing river below. For minutes on end she heard nothing and could not move.

" Tell me."

She whirled around in a mad stance, trying to find the speaker, but her breath was leaving her. She gasped as she was pulled to surface and clutched Legolas' neck tightly as they were carried with the current. " I can't swim…well."

" Maybe someday I could teach you, Mi'lady." He latched his good arm around Eowyn's small waist and pulled her closer so they wouldn't be separated.
