Chapter 7 Attack of the Nazgul

The three looked in fear at the three black riders.

"Follow me," Sari whispered

She began leading them the long way around the meadow. It was hard work keeping their eyes on the ground so not to make a sound. Fortunately Legolas was well again and they didn't need to carry him and his full stealth was intact so he was quieter then Gimli but not as much as Sari. Then something occurred to Sari that didn't before. Hers and Legolas' Weapons! They were back at the camp.

"Stay here" she whispered quiet, yet commandingly.

Then was gone they were perfectly still when she came back they followed her with their eyes until she was hidden by the trees. The two knew not what she had gone to go get. Legolas bowed his head as if to listen for a small sound that may signify that she needed aid. Deep down he wished to lose her no more then his friend Gimli. He then realized in those few moments of silence that he really cared about her. He heard a soft rustle in the bushes. H looked up and saw her carrying his bow, his quiver of arrows, and long white knife. She handed them to him.

"You will need these."

To her he saw she too had a beautiful bow with a Quiver of arrows. She didn't have a knife though but a sword. The sheath was beautiful; the only one he saw that could even compare was of Aragorn that came as a gift from Galadriel. They company looked to the field but none was there. The Riders were gone. Although no word was said they all agreed to go forth in to the night silently. No sooner then out of view from the meadow, the riders sprang forth at them swords drawn.

Gimli was stunned that he couldn't move. If it weren't for Legolas' bravery he would have perished there and then. Legolas and Sari jumped to the side while Gimli was rooted to the spot. The leading rider was about to run him down when Legolas ran forward and pushed Gimli from harms way. He couldn't see Sari. The other rider appeared above them rearing and about to fall on them when Sari Shot an arrow between the horses eyes killing it instantly. She ran forward helped the two up and she threw some more sonsinite sacks at them shielding them from view. They sprinted as far as they could until they came to a river.

"Swim," Sari commanded.

They didn't need telling twice. As they began to wade across they heard the hoof beats.

"Hurry!" Legolas yelled

"Legolas Help Gimli!"

Legolas had almost forgotten that his friend feared and hated the water to a decree were he hadn't yet learned to swim. He swam to his friend and bore him on his back to the other side the three were safe and looked there the riders were standing looking at them from cross the way. Very suddenly the leader of them shot an arrow strait to the eyes of Sari. Legolas and Gimli both pushed Sari out of harms way then they got up and ran.

" That's twice I have saved both of your lives, and twice Gimli has been saved by the bravery of Legolas, and you have both saved me life."

Suddenly as she laughed she winced in pain and fell to the ground (Legolas caught her head from baring down on a rock) and passed out.
