1 Chapter 9- Escape with the battle
"It's the elf!" one of the orcs growled, his eyes darted to the Lothlorien bow which the elf held securely in his thin pale hand. Without warning, Legolas lifted the bow in a blurred motion and shot. The orc who had just spoke now lay dead; eyes still wide open with fear. In no time at all the other orc rushed towards him, waving his arms over his small head, cursing. Without effort, Legolas dispatched of him, and then turned to face his enemy-Ugluk. No emotion showed on Legolas' face, though Ugluk expected he was either scared or upset inside.
"So elf," he spat bitterly, slowly wandering his way towards the ready fair creature," you and your kind were always the ones to die the most reluctantly."
"I know not what you mean, for I will not die from you or any of your kind," Legolas replied and he shook his head in pity. This was all the time Ugluk needed, as Legolas wasn't looking, the orc lunged forward on top of Legolas and pinned him to the floor. In a startled cry, Legolas released hold of his bow and desperately tried to rid himself of this weight on his injured shoulder. Ugluk spared a laugh and pressed harder, making Legolas squirm in pain, his hand felt around for anything he could use for a weapon but only succeeded in grasping a small piece of wood. In a last attempt to free himself, Legolas drove the sharp end of the wood into Ugluk's neck and quickly regained his freedom. Legolas retrieved his bow and pointed it at Ugluk, who was moving uncontrollably in a pool of blood. Moving an arrow from his quiver, he let the string go and Ugluk, was no more.
Aragorn swished past the draping trees, listening for the cries of orcs. Easily he heard them and with Gimli, they quickly caught up. Gimli was rather tired at this point but still he ran on, and together the two leaped into battle, cutting limbs off at every opportunity. Gimli cut through them like a raging troll and Aragorn used all his best techniques, getting ever closer to the hobbits.
Merry watched the battle with dread, while Pippin was cheering loudly( orcs too busy to punish Pippin for doing so). Swiftly Merry crawled over to where a fallen orc lay and clumsily grabbed a jagged dagger from his claw like hand. In an instant he had freed his arms and now working on his legs. After he had done that, he crawled back to Pippin and cut his bonds.
"Thank you," Pippin stuttered and they both ran and hid behind a rock. Aragorn had seen this and smiled at the hobbits letting them know he was coming. Pippin bounced up and down unable to believe that Aragorn and Gimli were winning, but barely. Merry gathered up the courage he needed and held tighter onto the Mordor dagger and ran towards an un-expecting orc.
"That is for making me run," he yelled and he stabbed the orcs in the back. Pippin smiled and joined him also holding a Mordor dagger. They worked well together, one jumping on an orcs back, while the other stabbed it in the heart when it was distracted. Soon all that was left was the four members of the fellowship. They looked at each other for a long moment before all laughing and hugging each other(even with blood stained tunics). Then their minds snapped back to Legolas and they all together went in search for him.
Legolas stood over Ugluk, never taking his eyes of his torturer. He wanted to stab him over and over again, hoping he would feel the pain that he had inflicted upon him, but now he was dead and it was too late. Sighing half with satisfaction, half with tiredness, he turned to hear familiar sounds. It was his friend Gimli, followed by Aragorn and the two extremely thin but excitable hobbits. He smiled for the first time in ages and embraced them all before dropping down in an exhausted heap.
Aragorn sat besides him, bringing his knees up to his chin.
"When I saw you, I thought I had strayed into a dream," Legolas finally said, staring right ahead.
" I did also, though mine was more of a nightmare, to see you unconscious and hurt like that," Aragorn replied.
That night they discussed what they were to do, finally they had decided to camp there for the night before moving out of the reach of Mordor and towards Gondor. They slept soundly that night except for Pippin's terrific nightmares, which filled his mind with gruesome thoughts.
When the sun rose, he was the first to awaken, followed by Merry and Legolas. They all drew in a deep breath, their first day of freedom together.
I left it on a nice note, but it might get a bit more actiony or angsty soon. I'm writing this as I along you see.
