Chapter 24


-------------------------------

Legolas and Strider were walking through the prairie, and they saw that Jamie had left them little clues. This time she had cut part of her tunic out.

" You have a smart wife." Strider said, while examinig the piece of cloth. Legolas just nodded. Legolas looked up, and told Strider to hold Shoni.

He jumped up to the first limb, and speadily climbed up all the boughs. He quickly did a scan of the area. He climbed back down, and took Shoni back.

" By the looks of this it is about a day fresh...they can't be far..unless they never stopped..." Strider said a matter-of-factly. Legolas mumbled some words in elvish, and heard and elvish reply.

He turned and saw two Elves. One tall male who had shiny blond almost silver hair. And a female with long, blond wavy hair.

" Nay! I'm Nuindur, and your...?" the man said.

" Legolas Greenleaf."

" I'm Naviath. We are heading to Rivendell." the woman said. Elves had a thing about being very open to other elves.

" Your heading to Rivendell? Well, could you take my child there, please?" Legolas said, not wanting Shoni to get involved.

Naviath brightened and looked over to Nuindur. " Yes, we would be delighted. You can trust us, Legolas of Mirkwood." he answered.

" Good, I thank you. Just show Shoni to Lord Elrond, and he will know what to do. I thank you to no amount!" he said, as the woman wlaked up and took Shoni gently in her arms.

" We will take good care of him..." she said.

" Well, we must be off! I hope to see you again!" Nuindur said as they turned to leave. They were gone, and Strider smiled.

" Elves are very trusting people..." he said. " Wait here...I'm going to go get your horses." he said, and was gone in a flash.
-------------------------------------------

We hadn't been bothered yet. That was good. At least this was nicer than where we were last time. It actually had beds.

" I have an idea." Megan started ot say, but the door was opened. And standing there:

Kim.

" I thought I killed you!" I screamed, and lunged towards him, and two small orcs came running in and grabbed Megan and me, and held our hands behind our backs.

It didn't matter that the orcs were small, smaller than me, but they had grips like steel.

" Hello to you to. Your stupidity let me escape." he said, grinning like and idiot.

" Your such a dumbass! Bakarot..." Megan screamed, leading into a string of profanities in Japanese that would make a hardened sailor blush.

She finally stopped, nad Kim smiled. " Your just like I remembered you. You are not getting it off this easy like you did last time. You will learn respect for me yet!" he barked, as he pulled a big whip out of his back pocket, and it unfolded.

He snapped it, and then hit Megan with it. It wrapped around her leg, and he pulled back. Where she was hit was a long, bloody gash.

" Now, I know I have to break your will, and its got to be beat out of you. But, I get the first privlage of giving you the first beating..." he smirked.

He made the ocs chain us upside down on the floor. He dismissed them, and he started hitting Megan first. I knew he was trying to make her scream in pain, but she had her mouth firmly shut.

By now, her shirt in the back was tattered and torn, and blood was everywhere.

" Jamie...I want to see the pain she is experiencing, and picture me hitting you. Times that by two, and that will be what you will be feeling." he stated, and hit her one last time.

She had been fighting to stay concious, and had suceeded. Kim walked up to me, and started to beat me mercily. It was so painful. Although, I wasn't going to show my pain, cry, or even scream.

Finally the pain got so intense, I passed out.



I woke up to Megan looking at me. We had been unchained, and I started to move. I could see dry blood everywhere, and I knew it was our blood. The pain had at least to a dull thumping feeling.
