Authors note. Ok. Plz review, it keeps me writing. This is a long chapter
by the way. Liadawn runs away to Rivendell but who will find her first.
Legolas or Maladir?
1 Chapter 4: Liadawn is Taken
Legolas puts down the note Liadawn wrote to her father saying she was going to Rivendell and turns back to get on his horse but finds Maladir standing in his way. "Get out of the way!" he snarled at his friend. He noticed something different, there was a steely glint in his eyes that he had never seen before. Maladir grinned maliciously.
"I will find her first Legolas and I will tell her I love her and I have saved her life. I will tell her you tried to kill her for not loving you." Legolas was more intelligent than Maladir and worked out that there was no way she would believe the he had tried to kill her as he had slept with her the night before. He smiled and punched Maladir hard in the jaw.
He rode hard and though Liadawn must already be at Rivendell as she was always the faster rider he could not help but feel she was near by. He pricked his ears and heard the galloping of a large horse a few miles in the distance. He sped up and after what seemed like hours he finally caught sight of her and felt relieved somehow.
I had known he was just three miles behind me but still I let him catch me up, exhausted, he tried to get my attention. I knew he wouldn't be able to catch me up again if I galloped off as fast as my horse would carry me because I knew I was the faster rider and he was tired from trying to catch me up. I put on a new burst of speed and became miles ahead within minutes.
On reaching the river that lead to Rivendell, I was attacked by a nazgul. I fell off my horse and was knocked unconscious as my head came into contact with a tree as I fell, limp, to the ground. I must have been captured and taken somewhere because when I woke up, I was lying on a rock floor and I looked very skinny. I must have been there for days.
Legolas reached the river determined not to let her get to Rivendell. He gasped loudly and hid quickly behind a large bush. A nazgul was leaning over something pale on the floor and (he suddenly realised peering through a gap) that he was kicking it across the soil into the river. The light blue water lapped against it's pale robes as it hit the water and the figures face came into view for the first time, it was Liadawn. She had a nasty cut on her head so the nazgul must have knocked her out.
Slowly he watched as her body floated down the river and the terrible black creature let out a loud piercing screech. He could just make out a large mass of black further down the river and they screeched back as if answering the first nazgul. He had made up his mind, he knew what he had to do.
I lay in the dark bruised and drowsy in the pitch black of my cell. Suddenly a loud noise, and a bright light (that made shudder) signalled an orc checking I was still there. He kind of grunted and threw a small plate of food and a set of clothes to wear. "Eat. The master wishes to see you." and he slammed the door shut again. I decided to look on the bright side (the problem is there is no bright side, its all dark) and got dressed. I think I did it right, I couldn't really see, but it felt o.k. I yelled through the door that I was ready and the food tasted like puke. The door opened slowly and they started to push me around.
"Hey, what's going on? What did I ever do to you? Hey that hurts stop pinching me!!" I screamed. They got the point and took me to a large chamber with a fire on one wall. A big chair was facing the fire and I couldn't see who it was sitting there. Whoever it was, they must be pretty important. The orcs that brought me there pushed me inside and I fell to the floor cutting my hands even more. Tears started to run down my face and I looked up. Something stirred in the corner. It was a hobbit, Frodo, what was he doing tying someone up? I stood up silently and crept closer. I watched as he put a single finger to his lips then pointed to the fire. The chair had swung round and I could see the figure walking towards me. Had he seen Frodo? Would I escape from here unharmed? The silhouette of the figure was dark against the fire but slowly, he came into view and I could just make out the colour of his tunic when he began to speed up. I panicked, the blood rushed through my veins and my heart pounded until:-
"Legolas," I gasped, "How did you…what the…why am I here?" I stuttered I couldn't remember anything of what happened before I was captured (so how am I supposed to remember I'm trying not to talk to him?). For days afterwards in the shelter of the forest Legolas comforted me every night as I couldn't stop having nightmares about being whipped and burned by the nazgul and having to be a slave to the orcs. Legolas knew that all this was true as he could see whip marks on my back, he didn't tell me though (I would get scared and panic). He cared for me too much and did not have the heart to tell me these fiery dreams have actually happened. I would find this out later, when scared was just an understatement…
Plz no flames! but do review I wanna see what you think. (by the way Leggy's GF, Legolas is yours, Orlando Bloom is ssooo mine!!)
