Disclaimer: Hey, I'm back again for an another awesome chapter! Again I own nothing...damn it. All the characters you do NOT know are mine though :) my "when you're obsessed with Legolas/Orlando" has been moved to the list section...so check it out! Also, a little gore here...not much...Also it is a bit darker than the other chapters. A bit corny than the other chapters as well...please don't flame me. You Mary-Sue haters beware!


Legolas ran through the forest, not knowing what he would find. They wouldn't harm her, right? It was him they wanted, not her. The Orcs were not as ignorant as they seemed. They had left no tracks for him to follow, clearly they wanted to surprise him. He rounded a patch of bushes and caught their scent. They were close. Their vile smell left a mark on the forest.

"If you hurt me, death shall come swift and painfully, I promise you this.!" Legolas heard Meela's once sweet voice filled with hatred and fear. Legolas could see them all as he climbed up a tree. One held her and Legolas could hear his hot breath on her, Meela's face was a mixture of perplexity and loathing. He leaned down to meet her chilly gaze and without warning, licked the side of her face. She screamed and slashed it across its face with her fingernails.

"Quiet the wench! Make sure she can not move!" A deep voice boomed, Legolas felt the hot sting of anger as he crept up on the Orcs. He readied his faithful bow and sprang out from the trees, killing 2 Orcs with one arrow.

"Release her," Legolas's voice dripped with ice.

"I do not believe you are in charge here, master elf," the biggest Orc stepped foreword and Legolas pulled his bow back and 3 Orcs jumped him. He shot one and was knocked to the ground by the other. He pulled out his trusty dagger and cut the Orc, a deadly stab. The last one Legolas kicked it squarely in the chest and placed his foot on its neck. His lethal arrow aimed directly at its forehead.

"Release her now," Legolas said, gritting his teeth.

"Legolas, go! I am not worth it!" Meela screamed as the massive Orc held her with a knife against her throat.

"I will not!" Legolas repiled as he stared down the leader. "Return her to me and I might let you live."

"You daft elves, You let your feelings get in the way. I am thankful I am rid of these pitiful emotions. I shall kill you both, but I will take my time. I am going to enjoy this." The creature spat and held the knife closer to Meela's neck, cutting it slightly. Drops of blood began to trickle down the blade.

Meela stared desperately into Legolas's deep blue eyes. He could do nothing. If he advanced, the beast would surely kill her and if he didn't the thing would let her slowly drift into an endless sleep. There were about 15 Orcs surrounding them and she was unarmed. He nodded slightly and she knew what to do. Meela jabbed the creature in the chest, quickly rolling out of the way. The Orc underneath his arrow quickly knocked Legolas off his feet. Legolas promptly leapt up and ended its miserably existence. His arrows killed quickly as he raced to get to his love.

"That was not very bright of you, child!" The Orc snarled as it backed Meela into a tree.

"Kill me and you shall pay dearly!" She retorted, stalling for precious seconds.

"If ending your pathetic life will cause Legolas pain, I would do it a thousand times over;" the thing growled and raised its razor sharp blade above his head. Suddenly, an axe smashed the huge Orc in the head, killing it instantly. Meela looked up to see her savior and Gimli stood before her.

"Take this, my lady!" He yelled over the carnage and tossed her a dagger. She quickly ran over to one of the same Orc who had tormented her and knocked it down.

"Next time, I suggest you hold your tongue!" She yelled and rapidly brought her knife down.

The 3 fought hard and fast. Soon, all the Orcs were dead or they had fled. Legolas swiftly swept Meela into his arms.

"I thought I'd lost you for a minute," he murmured.

"You worry too much," Meela laughed and kissed Legolas's soft lips, passionately. Gimli scuffled his feet and they broke their kiss.

"Thank you, my loyal friend." Legolas smiled and placed his hand on the dwarf's shoulder.

"Yes, I owe you my life." Meela said and tenderly place her hand on his cheek. "I thank you with all of my heart."

"Oh it was nothing!" Gimli said manly, "Just doing my job!"

"Sure Gimli," Legolas chuckled and took Meela's hand and together, the 3 went back to the village, happy that they had won.
