Author's note:
* Sabercrazy: you're right, everybody got his breaking point eventually,
and for Boromir that point was already razor sharp, and now he's way passed
being smart and back out of the fight.
*Midnight: Again thank you, it is good to know you're still reading.
*Jay of Lasgalen: ah yes, the shortness of the chapters, I agree with you, but somehow, don't ask me how, they still end up being like this. But I am working on it. Indeed Boromir can be very dangerous, without Legolas around.
*Tobecontinued: Thanks. Yes, Aragorn will get his sight back, what is LOTR with a sightless Ranger? It would be like eating chocolate peanuts without the chocolate.
*Asen: oh oh, giant sword? Eye of the tiger cd? *is not asking, only wondering* Ack! I'll make sure to keep updating, so you can keep that sword safely in your room! Hmm, good question, does Arwen has brown or blue eyes? I have no idea really, I just figured being Rivendell Elf she would have brown eyes, but I'm not sure.
*Rynn: Thank you for all your kind words. I'm updating now, I of course don't want to kill you with my suspense. *winks*
*Lady Jaina: Ooooh, not another dying of the suspense! Thank you for liking my story.
A/N: This story is coming to his end very quickly now, about two chapters or less and it's done, picking up to where the movie will be running the same. Not telling what part but I think you all know by now. I want to thank all readers and reviewers of their wonderful comments to this story, it really kept me going. I hope to hear more of you again in my new story, "Hope in the shadows of darkness". It will be posted soon after I finished this one.

Legolas braced himself immediately, when the angered human lunged forward. The Elf knew normally he would have the upper hand in a fight with Boromir, but the situation was different now. The Gondorian Man was only seeing the Ring, and that what was in the way of it. The young Elf also knew he could not kill his friend, for he would have not wanted to do this, if the Ring had not been there. And that meant he had to be quick, and duck as many blows as possible.
He just stepped aside, when the Man raced towards him, causing Boromir to loose his footing and fall onto the leaves covered forest ground. An almost inhuman growl was all the angered man had to say and he slowly rose, his hair tangled, with leaf's sticking out from various places. His dark eyes settled upon the fair Elf before him and they narrowed, not showing anger anymore, but pure lust to kill that creature. He took one step forward, and then another one, slowly, carefully, watching his enemy's every move. Legolas grew uncertain, as the man was closing in on him, normally he would have reacted immediately, but with the intent to kill, and he could not do that now. His instinct was to take a step back, but there was always the danger of not knowing what was behind him, and he could easily trip and fall. And so he remained where he was, one of his long knifes drawn, but lowered. But all of a sudden something happened that neither Frodo nor Legolas had foreseen. Boromir changed his path very suddenly, and again pounded on the small and frightened Hobbit, reaching for the necklace around that little neck.
"NO!" the Elf yelled, moving forwards as well, taking hold of the human who was effectively cutting of the airway of the Hobbit. But Boromir had more power then any of them would have thought, and shrugged the Elf of with one powerful blow to his temple. Legolas fell back, feeling a small trickle of blood seeping from a cut on his face. The blow was hard enough to render a normal man unconscious, fortunately he was an Elf, and it only dazed him for a small matter of time.
"Boromir, let go of Frodo now, before I am forced to hurt you more then I want to."
A glance was all he got from the Man, as he resumed to choke the blue eyed Hobbit. Legolas sighed, a sigh of acceptation, and one that showed how much he was against this all. He raised his long knife as he jumped up to his feet in catlike grace, and positioned it at the base of the Gondorian Man, drawing a small amount of blood when he cut the skin superficial. Boromir immediately froze, ceasing his action as his eyes moved to settle upon the one holding the knife. His hands released Frodo, knowing very well he could be killed if he would continue. The Hobbit immediately scurried away, trying his best to regulate his breathing, his big eyes looking from Legolas to his attacker.
"Go and warn the others," Legolas ordered, wanting Frodo away from this dangerous situation. But the Hobbit hesitated; not wanting to leave his friend in such a situation as this, knowing he was the one causing it. He stood, on the verge of running and yet, he could not go, somehow knowing, no, more feeling, he would not see his friends for quite some time. His eyes said the goodbyes his mouth could not voice, and he turned, running as fast as his little legs could carry him. Legolas knew as well, one of them would not survive this battle, and he could not say who it was. After that, it all happened fast, too fast for any of them to actually think about it, rethink their own steps. Boromir moved away from the knife at his throat, his legs hooking behind those of the Elf, when he rolled away, effectively knocking the fair being to the ground. Legolas was momentarily stunned, his back hitting a stone hard, and his hand letting go of the sword in pain. It was all the human needed, his sword already raised, and his stroke did not falter when he let his sword fall.
Frodo stopped, turning, as he heard a faint yelp of pain, knowing the fight was over. His eyes were burning, as tears rolled down the pale cheeks. He continued running back to camp, trying his best not to let grieve take over. For he knew who had been the one who screamed, his protector, his fair Elven friend, their eyes and ears, Legolas Greenleaf.
