Hi!!! I'm sorry this took so long, but I have a crap load of work to do!! It seems, the teachers are in one big conspiracy. They all make the quarterly projects at the same time. It sucks, then they load you with tests and homework. Its not even the last week or the end of the year yet!! Damn them!

I'm to lazy to type a disclaimer, but you all know what it should be! Well...


Chapter 21


We, thinking Kim was dead, decided to take a trip to Frodo's and we could go see new people, places, and things. We later found out that it wasn't a smart move.

I asked Legolas if he thought it was a good idea, his reply, " Yes...that's a very good idea. It would do us all good to take our minds off of things."

So, I wrote Megan, seeing if they could meet us at a certain place. She replied almost a week later, thanking me for the present, and saying that we could meet. She said they would meet us on the 15 of June.

Frodo and her thought they would take Evan because it would be good to let him see places at a young age. So, I decided to take Shoni.

We left, and it was good for the first three days, but I was getting uneasy, again. I really hated this feeling. It was like my sixth sense that always brought trouble. Well, the good half of that was I always knew in advance.

I woke up about 12:00 AM and I saw three black figures standing above me. * It must be Legolas....wait...there is only one of him. Oh...Megan and Frodo must be here. No...that can't be...we are like forever till we see them...*

While I was thinking, the figures disappeared. * I'm really a paranoid person..yeah that's it. My bad.* I thought. I hated getting so hyped up for no apparent reason. The main word: apparent.

The next morning I woke up again at about the same time, and the same thing. Except five. * Maybe I have some strange sickness like yellow fever or something. That could be it.*

They disappeared. The next morning it happened yet again, except the number had multiplied. * Why does this only happen at night? Why?*

I started to go back to sleep, when I definitely heard a snap. And that was NOT my imagination. It wasn't the horses either because the sound had come from a totally different side.

I looked over at Legolas, and he was sound asleep with Shoni in his arms.

Me, being the curious person that I am, had to go investigate. I got up slowly, debating weather to go back to bed, because it was way to early to be up, and I would pay by the end of the day. But, I heard another snap, and that was the last straw, I had to go see.

I walked through the forest quickly and soundlessly, but dragging my feet slightly, just in case I get lost.( A.N That would suck, considering how big the forest were back then...)

I walked for about 10 minutes, then I decided to go back.
--------------*
The girl was following. Even though there were twenty of us Orcs, we were silent, except for one young one. He had broke two twigs. I was going to chop is head off, but then I did a double take. If the girl found a decapitated Orc, she would know about us. So, when we got back, the imbecile will die.

Master said if she followed us, or caught wind of us, capture her and bring her to him. Well, she was following, but do I want to catch her this early? I would have to put up with her for a long time.

That idiot! That stupid Orc that snapped those twigs is going after her. That was a mistake. 1- he did it without my orders. 2- I didn't want to capture her yet. The more reason to kill him.
-----------*

I heard a thumping sound, and turned around just in time to see a rather small Orc running towards me. I felt his grimy hands grab my arm, and I kicked.

I was thinking, mabey if I killed one Orc, Legolas will know what happened.

He pressed his heavy body up against mine to make me fall, but I quickly swipped out a small knife I had and stabbed him about 7 times in the stomach, then went to his throat. The I stabbed him again in the stomach, but left it in, so Legolas would know it was me.

I let him fall to the ground, and felt arms go around my back, but I flipped the Orc over my head. I felt one touch my arm, then one grab my legs.

He pulled me down, and I hit the ground with a thud. There was an Orc almost on top of me, and he was choking me. His fingernails were diggin in to m skin, and I had a sudden feeling of dajavue, and all went black.

Well, I'm done for now, but new ch. out soon. I Have to do my damn s.s project. I don't have any other homework though, because I did it all in the STUPID after school detention today. From my s.s. teacher. Bye!
