I don't want to relive this again...
Aradon-It was Aradon's screaming,shortly taken up by everyone who was not gathered around the small fire within the shelter. We ran out,Aurphos throwing me my bow as he made his was from his sitting place. Before he made it to the door a woman from our company fell against him from outside,an arrow in her back,holding her to death.
"Orcs.."she whispered in a tearful,wavering voice,"....my boy...my Aradon..." she managed before her eyes flickered shut and the life ebbed from her. Aurphos turned to me-petrified,as I stared back... I remembered Aradon. He was only five.....and would never see Rivendell the one place that made it all worth it for him. I was woken from my stunned state by the other protector's call to gathered the elves.
"Get out! Go! And never let them find you!" Through the running people,I stood still-he held my gaze,then let go as he,still shocked,grasped his bag of arrows,"We must..." he said sorrowfully. I nodded and followed him,fearing my own death. Both he and I broke into a run,as I did so I could see the orcs descending from the hillside. There was so many of them,the quickly fading light showed them as one,one or one thousand... it still meant death to us.
I managed to steal the lives of many orcs,but my arrows were not fleet enough to grasp onto the lives of the people,the orcs fell beside their lifeless bodies. I could see my friend,Aurphos,we two where the only warriors who made it this far,so many wolves and pits of blinding darkness- taking the lives of people and warriors. Aurphos stood sword fighting with several orcs,I attempted to take some away with my bow and arrows but from behind me I heard dreadful cries. Men,women....children fell. I turned and shot so many arrows,missing but a few,but I soon spent all of them and drew my sword. An orc was very obliging and slit my arm a little. As I fought him while others joined,I couldn't move away,only hold them in front of me and pray for the people's safe escape,I knew there wouldn't be one for me. The monsters fell,I was now quite a way from the shelter and turned to search for my brother in war,instead I found the people who I had set out to protect herded into the shelter as sheep...and a flame held by a creature far bigger than the others,I stood foolishly in awe struck horror,knowing what he was plotting. I made to run,but I would not have made any difference. A truly gruesome orc came from nowhere that I had seen,and drew his sword across the top of my chest,creating a deep,bleeding gash. I fell,but found a raging strength to pull me up and fight. I cut the orc down and ran,slashing violently past bodies of mixed elves and orcs. Now a fire blazed,started while I fought,and now the terrified cries of those I had known rose with the smoke...I could do nothing. I saw the beast with a torch of fire. He was fighting with Aurphos who took a large hack from the creature's neck,it cried out in it's ugly language and five orcs from afar stood beside the blazing shelter with the screeching people inside,launched arrows,three hitting the valiant warrior.
"Aurphos!"I screamed out too late,running for where his body lay. I knelt down beside him,uttering words to him in the soft elfin tongue before I could feel sneering eyes upon me.I got up and tearfully drove my sword into him,he only drew back and seemed to smirk and fight on. There was a voice,small and clear behind him. A small stone bounced off his head and he turned. I seized the chance and swung my sword at his head. His mutilated body lay still,the orcs seemed to retreat taking any little treasure's they had recovered from the innocents. The small boy who had cast the stone faced me,he too was wounded but only with a slash across the arm.His smile turned to a look of horror which focused beyond me. Before I could turn there was a sharp pain in my back which drove the breath from me,and another nearly missed the boy but instead severely cut his neck. I fell to my knees,on looking up I could see the one I would call my closest friend,Nimarato,running with two children in his arms,if he had seen me he would he come back....I'm sure of it. The boy had blood streaming from his neck,I could feel the sting of tears blind my eyes...he was nearly safe. He managed to come to me and put one hand on my bloodied face.
"Thank you."He said in a hoarse voice,"You tried..." Both the gash above my chest and arrow caused all energy to drain from my and I fell forward. I did not see the little elf perish,only for that I am glad.
*x*x*x*x*
It had been some time now,perhaps a few hours,but the sun refused to make an appearance. Every so often legolas would wipe the still leaking blood from his elfin patients.As he checked on the male he found that the bleeding had eased a little but the cold still gripped him. He shifted over to the other,the bleeding seemed to have stopped and there was a strengthening pulse.For some reason now he became quite entranced by her,though he could not see her face there ware a certain air of alertness over her.He sat,just looking into the darkness where her face would be.
His heart skipped a beat and pounded as it had when they were chased by the orcs as the body lunged to life.It let out such a gasp as if it had been held under water,it flew up into a sitting position and Legolas caught it,holding it with both arm to prevent it from falling back against the tree.He embraced it in a tight but warm grasp until both their hearts and breathing had returned to normal.
"Be still."uttered the golden archer gently,"It is ok."
"...Where.."it finally questioned in reply.
"Safe. You are in the company of the fellowship. I am Legolas."He helped her to to lean against the tree in an upright position. There was a slight glow to her as he could just make out her tired eyes.
"Sleep now,and pray that you are both well enough to go on horseback."He whispered to her. Not quite knowing what he meant,she rested her head against the tree and he sat next to her in hope of finding sleep.
But that was not the end of the maidens night. She sat comfortably next to the Prince,the drowsiness lifted a little and she noticed that her friend lay,looking upward into the vast black sky,next to her.
"Aurphos?" she asked in a voice that was quiet and weak with a hint of happiness on seeing him again, " Are you awake?"
"I am," he stated," what I do not know is how. Where are we?"
"According to our rescuer," she paused and looked upon Legolas,"we are safe."
"Leonae," he started,getting up and edging over to her enabling himself to wrap his arms around his friend," I shall not stay." The she elf, who was warm in his grip, lifted her head from his chest and looked up at him.
"You cannot leave, you are injured and have no way of reaching anywhere,with nowhere to reach."
"I shall not live through this night,nor shall I die or be seen as an invalid in the company of strangers."
"Then I shall accompany you, I cannot let you go alone."
"No,you shall heal and make it to Rivendell." He took her hands in his. He looked no older than Legolas,with shoulder length white waved hair.
"Then you shall give up," she said in anger," you shall give up our quest and leave for death into the dark night. You shall dishonor every member of out former company by not even trying to get to Rivendell when it is not possible for them to." Her rage was clear and true,with tears catching the moonlight as they trickled down her face.
"You are wrong. I shall not give up. I shall move on,getting as close to Rivendell as I can with every breath,every heartbeat I have,though I shall not reach there....I shall try." He once again hugged her,tight, in farewell. On letting her go,he stood tall and silent,attempting not to let his pain show,and produced a smaller bag from the sac that their saviors had found nearby. In it was a little food,a cloak and some arrows along with the sword and bow he already carried. He started to head off into the woods.
"Aurphos?" she asked in a sleepy voice,"try very hard," her words almost sounded like they were from the mouth of an infant. He nodded and walked quickly away into the approaching dawn.
------------------ Okay,so I changed it a bit. I didn't wanna kill him off like in the first draft.
I'm getting somewhere with this plot! Hope you enjoy and I get as much feedback as I've been getting recently.Even if you have reviewed before,with the new chappies tell me how you think it's goin'!Thanx so Much to everyone!
Every new chapter I write is hot off the Wordpad!
You're reviews are really nice!I haven't had a word said against me..*great I've jinxed it now ^^;* You people are so great!So this chapter is dedicated to all my reviewers!
