Expect the unexpected
Part 2
Flashback
Aragorn sped up the hill. He looked around. Every now and then Aragorn bent down and picked something up.
Finally he stood at the top of the hill.
"Here are the tracks that we seek! If we want to find them we must go this way", he said and pointed to the red sun.
It rose over the dark land. The earth benath them was flushed with the rose of morning. The white stones in the near river glittered and the shadows in the woods melted into all kinds of green light.
"Well then. Let`s go. We must free our little friends", Gimli the dwarf said and began moving west to the way he and his friends must treat.
Together they sat of and followed the path of their enemy in the dim morning light.
They left the forest and at his end they came on the grass of Rohan.
"If we hurry up and don`t stop far to long we could have a chance to lessen their lead", Aragorn said and began to pick up his pace. The others followed his example and soon they ran in a light trot along the green country.
The sun rosed to the noon an then sank again.
Shadows fell over the land.
They didn`t rest fot the night. All were weary expect Legolas. His feet carried him without any problem over the sweet grass of Rohan. He didn`t make footprints but it was easy for them to follow the orcs because they tramped a dead path through the land.
"There are some clear prints here", Aragorn said.
The company slowed down during the night because often they had to search for the orcs` track.
They picked up the trail of the orcs again, in the light of the morning sun it needed little skill to find, even the Hobbits could find it.
"They go with a great speed and it seems to delight them to destroy growing things," said Legolas and looked over the slashed and beaten flowers, trees and other plants.
"It will be a long chase, they sat of early and I think that they won`t stop when the Hobbits tire,", said Boromir.
They all know that they must stop if Frodo and Sam need a rest.
"Well, we`ll follow the trail of our enemys and friends," shouted Frodo and sprang away.
Aragorn lead them.
They ran and ran and rested only for a few hours.
Aragorn gave a cry and turned aside.
"What is it, Aragorn?", asked Frodo.
"Yes, they were here", the man said and held something up.
"The brooch of an elven-cloak!", cried Legolas.
"It`s a sign! One of them at least was alive", said the dwarf.
"Let us go on! I found new hope and I think that my legs will carry me further. For the sake of our friends", Sam said, he knew that the orcs were far ahead.
Not even Legolas could see any sign of them with his keen elven-eyes.
The sun sank. But the hunt went on. They only rested for a brief while.
In the morning they rested near a river.
Legolas stood on a hill and looked over the landscape.
"Riders!", he cried, "They are coming towards us."
"Keen are your eyes, Legolas", smiled Aragorn and climbed up. He stood next to the elf, he couldn`t help he had to watch Legolas out of the cornor of his eyes. The way his hair glitters in the sun and how the wind blew trough his hair.
"We cannot escape them in this land", said the elf and tore Aragorn out of his thoughts.
"We shall wait for them", the Ranger said.
"What are this men?", Frodo asked. The two Hobbits and Gimli joined their friends on the hill.
"These men have have long been the friends of the people of Gondor. The do not love the Orcs either", explaines the man.
They could all hear the horses galloping. The six friends sitting silently and watching them from their point on the hill.
They found themselves in a circle of horsemen.
"Who are you and what are you doing in this land?", asked Rider.
"We are hunting orcs", said Frodo.
The men dismounted their horses.
After the group explained why they traveled through the land the riders gave them three horses.
"We cannot affort to give you more of our horses, these three once belonged to our friends but they were murderd.", said the leader of the group.
"We apprechiate these horse, do not worry. We`ll bring them back, as soon as we found our missing friends.", Aragorn said.
The company mounted their horses.
Frodo rode with Aragorn, Sam with Boromir and Gimli shared a horse with Legolas.
Aragorn was watching the trail as they rode swiftly on their way.
After another four hour journey the group stopped. They were near a small forest.
They dismounted their horses.
"Look! There was a fire and the ashes are still smoking. They can`t be far away", Boromir said.
"Indeed. They must-", Legolas was interruped. He could hear heavy boots and they were leaving.
"Over there," he said and pointed into the forest, "I can hear them."
Aragorn and Boromir drew their swords. Gimli held his axe and Legolas held his bow and an arrow in his hands.
Quickly they made their way, they ducked behind tree and bushes. And finally they could see the group of orcs.
Merry and Pippin were surrounded by orcs. Legolas leaped into a near tree. From each side Boromir and Aragorn approached the orcs. Gimli and the Hobbits stood behind. But when they`re going to attack Gimli and the Hobbits would join the fight.
In the tree Legolas set an arrow to the string of his bow. His arrow soared toward the orc, and
penetrated it' skin. The creatur gave a shriek before he fell
to the ground dead. The other orcs drew their weappons as well as the Hobbits.
Other arrows began flying at them, not one missed it`s target. Legolas shot to kill.
Aragorn and Boromir attacked the orcs.
The Ranger stabbed at the creaturs merciless and killed many.
Gimli joined the fight as well. His axe buried itself deep in the orcs` chests. He ripped it out and went for another blow. The dwarf could count many deaths.
Boromir had found Merry and Pippin and brought them to the other Hobbits. Every now and then one orcs could escape and set after the Hobbits but Frodo and Sam did a good job at killing them.
"Aragorn!" Legolas shouted. He was on the ground as well and saw that an orcs was approaching his friend. The elf reached for another arrow. He strung it, and
shot the one orc through the throat.
A quick duck had saved Aragorn. He stabbed Anduril into the orc's chest, and then removed it only to sever it's head with another strike of his sword.
When thirteen had fallen the rest fled shriking.
"Is everything allright?", asked Aragorn as he sheathed Anduril.
"No harm is done", said Boromir and glanced over to the Hobbits.
"We are find", Pippin said. "Let`s have something to eat. I`m starving."
Aragorn sighed.
"Well then. But I insist that we find a place more comfortable. I don`t want to eat between a bunch of dead bodys", noticed the Dwarf.
After some hours of walking through the forest they stoped. The friends couldn`t use their horses because there weren`t enough. So they had to walk.
Boromir, Aragorn and Sam took a hores by the rein and walked next to them.
Suddenly they broke free and ran as fast as the wind. The friends coudn`t do anything to catch them.
"Why did they run? I havent heard anything", said Sam and turned into the direction the horses went.
"I don`t know but animals notice the coming danger and i think that it was right for them to run because they would get killed if we had keeped them and if we were attacked", said Legolas.
The three elegant animals made their way through the forest. Even long after they couldn`t see them anymore the elf could still hear them as they ran over the sweet grass of Rohan.
Together the company set up a camp. They found a clearing and decided thet they would spend the night there.
Sam started cooking after Boromir and Gimli gathered some wood and lit a fire.
Aragorn stood watch that night, as the others got some rest.
Gimli lay on his side and had his back turned to the fire. His sonring was a clear sign that he was asleep.
Boromir leaned against a tree. Even the Hobbits were silent. Maybe it was because Pippin slept with his head in Merrys lap.
Even Legolas was a little bit weary and fell asleep.
Most of Aragorns attention was focused on the sleeping form of the elf.
He wasn`t paying attention to anything else. So he didn`t noticed the shadows around their camp.
Legolas stired in his sleep and opened his eyes. He had felt the dark creatures creeping around their camp. He looked over to Aragorn.
The heir of Isildur focused back on his task. Suddenly he noticed that their camp was surrounded by orcs.
Quickly Legolas and Aragorn drew their weappons.
"Wake up!", Aragorn shouted.
In only a few moments all stood on their feet and faced the battle which would sure come.
A large number of orcs came running towards them and Legolas shot some of them with his arrows. Boromir and Aragorn managed to protect Frodo and Sam.
Legolas took care of Merry and Pippin. Gimli fought his way through the orcs.
But everytime they killed one two or more came out of the forest and joined the fight.
The orcs succeeded in seperating Merry, Pippin and Legolas from the rest of the group.
Aragorn and the others didn`t noticed that their friends weren`t no longer on the battlefield.
"We have no choice, flee", shouted Legolas. He was fighting with his short sword because he couldn`t manage to kill all the approaching orcs with his bow.
"But we can`t let you fight alone", cried Pippin. He really didn`t want to fight the creatures but he didn`t want to let the blond elf fight on his own.
"I`ll catch up with you two later. Hide somewere in the forest", it wasn`t a request it was an order.
Merry grabed Pippin by the arm and draged him away from Legolas and their enemys.
"We can`t let him hanging!", cried Pippin and tried to wriggle out of Merrys grasp.
"He said that he can make it alone, so come on Pippin. I don`t want to get caught again", said Merry.
The other Hobbit stopped strugling and followed Merry, but the other Hobbit never let his grip on the others Hand slip.
Together they crawled under a bush and waited for Legolas` arrival.
They sat there for nearly twenty minutes. Then Merry heared noises near their hideout.
In a whisper he told Pippin to shut up. They listened for any sign of approaching danger but couldn`t make out where exactly the noise came from.
Both Hobbits screamed as suddelny a person steped into their hideout. Within moments both Hobbits pointed their swords at the person.
"Stop screaming", hissed the elf.
"Legolas!", cried Pippin and huged his friend around the waist.
"Shhh! Or they`ll find us. I coudn`t kill them all. Some fled", told Legolas.
"Where are the others?", asked Merry after they sheated their swords again.
"I don`t know. We were seperated. I couldn`t make out their trail clearly, because there were too many footprints, but I think that we`ll find them as soon as we are shure that there are no orcs left", pointed the elf out.
"It can`t get worse. Can it?", aked Pippin and looked around. They were in the middle of a forest and they had lost their friends.
The Hobbit hadn`t spoken his sentence when a small raindrops landed on the tip of his nose.
"Let`s find shelter", said Legolas and began running towards the forest, the Hobbits followed him.
AN: That`s all for now.
I`d like to say that im sorry for my spelling and for my grammatical mistakes. But it`s
because of two reasons: 1. I`m german...
2.My last english teacher. I lived four years with him teaching in
my class and we did nothing. We only sat in the room and
waited for the bell. Well... it was a nice time. You know no
homework and stuff but we learned nothing... Maybe a bit...
