Hello, stupid computer lost my story and I had to start all over again kicks box.
Any way again I have to say that tolkein owns most of the characters in this, I get no money from it etc etc etc.
If you like it review it. If you don't review it anyway and lie. Tee hee.
Legolas knew he was right but still resented him. These were his people lying dead around the room. He gave himself a shake and then followed them out the door. Up another flight of stairs and they found a simple room. In it were a large grand chair and a table. Sitting in the chair was a man in a long white robe with long white hair.
"Ah, Gandalf, how nice of you to join us." The man gestured round the room. The group looked round, trying to see who the other of `us' was. They saw a small shape huddled in a corner. Legolas was the only one to see exactly what it was. It was a small female, terribly dirty, cowering on the floor like a dog. She was scantily dressed in rags that hid very little. Legolas reasoned that this must be Elisa. "Mutt! come here." The girl winced at his voice but crouched round to Saruman. She walked on her feet but was so hunched over that her hands dragged on the ground. Legolas was reminded slightly of the horrible creature Gollum.
The man stroked the girl's head but it did not sate her. She trembled when he touched her. Legolas wondered what he had done to her to make her fear his touch. He remembered what her mother had said. Saruman had stolen her innocence. That could only mean really one thing. The man had forced himself upon her.
"Well Gandalf, you certainly bring a variety before me, but no hobbits? Where are the halflings?"
"Some where you cannot touch them. Now Saruman, hand over the sphere and the key to this tower or deny me and face the consequences." Saruman scoffed at Gandalf and raised his staff. Gandalf however saw it coming and had his up first. The clawed staff of Saruman crumbled in its master's hand.
"You can not stand up to me now, yield or perish in your iron tower." Gandalf looked down Saruman as he cowered on the floor.
Saruman glanced at the doorway and his face lightened. Aragon looked round too late to see Wormtongue sneak up behind him and put a knife to his back.
"What will you do now Gandalf? Carry on with me, or let me go and your companion will be unharmed. That is a Ringwraith's blade, the man may not be strong enough to resist the darkness, are you going to take the chance with the life of a friend?"
Gandalf knew Saruman had him and he stood down. Saruman swept out the room, Wormtongue right behind him, threatening them all with the black blade.
He left and Gandalf cursed a little for the missed opportunity. Legolas was still staring at the girl who had recessed to her corner, staring at them strangely.
Gimli hefted his axe and went towards the girl. Legolas extended his arm to stop him. He took his bow off his back and laid it on the floor. He walked slowly towards the girl arms outstretched.
The girl hissed at him as he drew near. He turned back to the others. "Her mother was right, she is mad. A quick death will do." He started to walk away from the girl when suddenly a hand held his.
"Please, don't kill me." Legolas stared in her big eyes. "Please, what have I done to deserve to die?"
The girl crouched at his feet and the others couldn't believe it when she spoke.
"Do not fear we will not kill you. Are you Elisa?"
"How do you know that name? I haven't heard that name for years. It's a pretty name, don't you think?"
"Yes dear, its lovely." The girl reached out for his sleeve and pulled at him. At first he thought she was trying to pull him down but she started to straighten. Her back uncurled and she stood almost as tall as Legolas. She was very unstable however, and she swayed. She would have fallen but Legolas caught her waist and pulled her close. She smelled and was dreadfully dirty. Her clothes were even more revealing than they had thought before and she stood semi-naked.
Legolas let her go for a moment and he swept his cloak around her, fastening it at the neck. She pulled the fabric close and breathed in its clean fragrance.
"Thank you." Legolas smiled.
Gandalf decided they had better get back to the hobbits and walked out the room. Legolas walked with the girl. She was obviously not used to walking upright and was very unsteady on her feet. Eventually, after the fourth fall Legolas swept her up into his arms and carried her down the stairs. She weighed next to nothing.
Legolas didn't notice until they had got outside that the girl had fallen asleep in his arms. He set her down gently next to the fire and wrapped the cloak closer to her. She gave a small sigh and rolled towards him.
