Chapter 8 Falling in love
She awoke with pain in her chest. She had almost forgot the wound she received from the Nazgul. She looked up and saw the face of Legolas above her.
"I am sorry,"
"You have no need to be Sari. You save Gimli and my own life tonight. We are only glad to save yours, at any cost."
He looked to her shoulder, which was bleeding freely now. A look a fear, sadness, and grief came to his face. Then for a moment he smiled, and looked back at her face.
" Besides how are we to catch up to you saving both our lives twice."
He face turned serious again.
"When did this evil fortune happen?"
" Just after you saved Gimli. The first rider was out of our way for moments when the second rider came to me and tried to take me away on his horse. I leaped off the horse and he drew his sword to keep me on and it caught my shoulder. Then I saw you looking around for me, and the rider bearing down upon you. I fitted the bow to the string shot one at the one who tried to capture me, wounding him temporarily, and then the other at the horse. Once it fell I ran to you. At that time my wanting you to escape made me forget the scorching pain in my shoulder. I ran with you to the river and saw our luck there, which was the only to escape them. The only problem now is they know our position and they will go around that will of course buy us a large amount of time except id they find the shallows they can wade across there."
Legolas looked around Gimli was out trying to find some herbs and gather water. Then he realized that Kingsfoil the wolf was gone. Almost as if reading his mind she said,
"Kingsfoil has gone to deliver the message of our coming. I sent him when the enemies were upon us."
After saying all that she winced again. He looked deep in her eyes and almost felt that he could feel her pain. It hurt his heart terribly to see her like this.
" You are very lucky that arrow did not pierce your heart as it is piercing mine."
With that a single tear rolled down his cheek. He wondered what had become of him he never had cried, at least since way before the downfall of the ring. He had strong feelings for her, and he wondered if he was falling in love.
