1 Expect the unexpected 5
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. I only mess their lives up.
Sorry that it took me so long to post this part but my muse let me hanging.
But hey, I'm back!
There is no real A/L slash in this part, but I think the next part is going to be a bit
romantic....
Expect the unexpected
Legolas, Merry and Pippin walked along the stream in search of their friends.
„Do you think that we're going to find them soon, Legolas?", asked Pippin.
„I don't know. Maybe", the elf answered.
„What do you think, Merry?", asked Pippin his other friend.
„I think that-", started Merry but he was interrupted.
„Shh!", whispered Legolas and stopped in his tracks.
„What is it?", Merry, asked.
„I don't know but I think that we should be very careful", said Legolas and gazed ahead of them.
„Why?", one of the Hobbits asked.
„There is something behind the trees", the blond archer whispered.
He didn't turn around to look what there was in the forest. He knew it.
Merry and Pippin looked scared. Both walked next to Legolas who drew his bow and one arrow from his quiver.
„What are you doing?"
„Trying to find out what is behind this tree", he said and let his arrow go.
The elf knew that these creatures, whatever they were, were not their friends, because Legolas could feel the danger.
There was a scream and an orcs stumbled out of the bushes.
„Orcs!!!" cried Pippin.
Merry couldn't believe it: „I thought that we killed them all."
„I feared that since we left the cave", murmured the elf.
Legolas walked over to the fallen orc and removed his arrow from its chest. He couldn't afford to loose only one of his arrows 'cause the chance that the other orcs, if there are more, are going to attack them and then is every arrow that is left valuable.
„We can't stay here. When there are others they must have heard this one scream. I don't doubt that they are coming", pointed Legolas out.
„Then let's go!! I don't want to have to fight them again", said Pippin and started to walk away than he stopped, „In which direction should we go?"
Merry and Pippin looked at the elf.
„I can't say for sure from which direction it came 'cause it was behind the tree. It must have waited there 'cause I didn't hear it coming."
„But which direction? Come on Legolas you must have an idea", pleaded Pippin. To calm the other Hobbit down. Merry put his arm around his shoulders and he told his friend over and over that everything is going to be okay.
Legolas tried to think for awhile and than he looked over to the path where they cam from. Behind them was nothing that was for sure. The walked that way for a few hours and there was nothing that seemed dangerous. What was in front of them could the blond haired elf not tell. But if they are starting to walk back, they might miss the only chance they have to find Aragorn and the others.
Legolas was torn between two decisions. Going back would mean that they have to start where they began. And to walk ahead would mean that they are going to meet a bunch of orcs, but that was not for sure.
„What do you think? I have no idea what is the best to do", he hated to say it out loud that he had no clue what they should do.
If Legolas were alone he would go ahead but he had the two Hobbits with him and it's clear that they can stand for themselves for a short time, but they can't defend themselves for a whole fight. And when something happens to the two of them Legolas could never ever forgive himself for his mistake. So it was the most easy when the Hobbits decided what they should do.
„I don't want to run into orcs but I also want to find the others. I think we should keep walking in that direction", Merry said and pointed at the way they were walking along for more than hours.
„And you Pippin? You want to take the risk that we might get attacked, too?", asked Legolas and the smaller of the two Hobbits nodded.
„Well than. Let's move before these creatures arrive here and find us", the elf said and started to walk. The Hobbits followed Legolas 'cause they trusted him to feel the danger long before they do it. It was safer that way with Legolas and his keen senses in the lead.
When the orc that Legolas shot screamed not only the other orcs in their camp heard that.
Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Frodo and Sam had also heard the last scream of this orcs.
„What was that?", Sam asked and looked around.
„An orcs", said Aragorn and the worry was clear on his face.
„I don't think that they are in danger", Boromir said.
„But why should an orcs scream for no reason?", questioned Gimli.
„We should go and look if they 're there", said Frodo and Sam nodded in agreement.
„If you think so, but I think that Legolas can look after himself and the Hobbits quite well", said Boromir.
„I'll remember you when you are alone in the forest and needs our help", snapped Aragorn.
„Aragorn, stop it. We should go now", cried Frodo. He didn't want loose any more friends than he already had.
Together they set off and walked carefully to the direction they heared the scream came from. After a short walk, Aragorn forced them to walk as fast as they could without drawing attention at them, they found the place where the fallen orcs lay.
„It was an orcs", said Gimli and looked at the creature that lay at his feet.
„Why is it dead?", questioned Sam. He couldn't see the hole in the orcs body where Legolas' arrow hit it.
„Someone shot him with an arrow", said Aragorn.
„But where is it? I can't see an arrow", Frodo said.
„The same person must have removed it when they walked away", Aragorn thought a moment and than he sat up.
„Maybe it was Legolas", he said, „I don't think that he would let his arrows behind when he mustn't."
„Well, now we might know that they were here. But where are they now?", Gimli asked and looked around.
„Maybe we can find some footprints", Sam said.
They looked around and they found two pairs of prints. One was from Merry and the other from Pippin. They all knew that Legolas made hardly any footprints and so they didn't even looked after his.
„They took that way", Aragorn said and pointed to the direction the footprints showed them.
Again they set off. This time with more hope to find their friends.
„Do you think that we're going to find them soon", Frodo asked the Ranger that walked ahead of the group.
„I hope so", Aragorn answered without looking up from the ground. He feared that he might loose the small trail they had.
But suddenly another scream resound through the forest. Soon others followed.
„What is going on?", cried Frodo.
„They are in danger", with that Aragorn started to run into the direction they heard the screams come from.
AN: That's all for now. I don't know if I should continue this. I you want me, than you have
to tell me.
