Author's Note: Sue thank you for your wonderful review. I really appreciate it.
The orcs rushed them. The battle had begun. Everything seemed to be going in their favor, when suddenly, the unthinkable happened. Suddenly Legolas heard Aragorn cry out, and he turned to see his friend down on his knees, face contorted in pain with an arrow in his shoulder and one in his side. Legolas' eyes with fear and concern for his friend, "Estel! Hold on I'm coming!" cried Legolas as he tore the remaining orcs with a new savage ferocity that surprised even him. After quickly dispatched the remaing orcs, he ran to his friends side.

When Legolas reaced him, Estel was not moving. Legolas checked for a pulse with trembling fingers. At first he couldn't find one, and he almost despaired. Then when he had almost given up hope, he felt it. It was weak, but it was there. His friend was alive! Legolas nearly wept from the thought that his friend might die. He had never realized how truly fragile humans were.
He began to examine Estel's injuries, and decided that it was best to remove the arrows while his friend was unconcious. Aragorn cried out as the arrows were removed, for even in the depths of unconciousness, he still felt the pain.

Legolas had just finished removing the arrows and was now bandiging the wounds, which luckily were not as bad as they first looked. Legolas thanked the Valar that the arrows had not been poisoned. His friend would heal given enough time, and Legolas was going to make sure he got that time. They had to get to Rivendell as soon as possible. Elrond would want to over see Estel's recovery himself. Suddenly Legolas jerked his head up. He heard horses approaching. They would be here any minute. Legolas cursed himself for not paying attention.

Legolas tensed and reached for his bow, as he listened to the sound of horses coming closer and closer. They would be here any minute now. There was no where to run, no where to hide. The hoof beats stopped. He froze. They were here. Now the only question was were they friend or foe?
