Chapter 7 Watch or Help

Something had waken Legolas. He looked and didn't see Faer anywhere but he did hear the clash of swords. Picking up his bow, arrows, and knives he followed the sound. It was dark and there was no moon even though it was supposed to be out. He reached a clearing and walked to the ridge of it. There was Faer and a monster. Both where battling. Something went through him he didn't want to lose her though he was sure she would want to do this herself. Legolas stood there wondering whether to watch or help. Finally he came a conclusion, 'If things turn bad I'll help,' he said to himself.

Faer jumped out of the way again she didn't even notice Legolas standing there watching her. She fought with all her strength not daring to run for she didn't want him killing anything else. Even if she tried to run she wouldn't be able to get out. Grug had cast a spell before she had come that there would no one coming in our leaving the valley until the battle was over.

Faer jumped at him. The blade went in deep into Grug's stomach. Grug let out a deafening scream. He plunged at her. For once Faer was caught of guard and the sword went through her stomach.

Legolas tried to run into the valley but was stopped by some unseen force. Legolas couldn't believe it he would have to watch his love die. He screamed but no sound came out.

Faer felt pain go through her body but she wouldn't run. She fought on. Faer stabbed Grug with a small knife. She was then thrown back. Pain shot up through her shoulder. Looking at it she found that she had landed on a dropped knife. Grug's dropped knife. She pulled it out and a second wave of pain went through her shoulder. Faer jumped up and through the knife into Grug's stomach. He just looked down at it. She took the chance and put her sword through his stomach. Grug fell no sound escaped his mouth.

For the first time Faer noticed Legolas. She ran over to him. They embraced and Legolas quickly took her back to camp. When they reached camp Legolas woke two elves and tolled them to tend to Faer wounds.

After two days they started back. All the elves had went to the clearing to see Grug. Soon they arrived back at the city. Legolas tolled Galadil what he had seen. Galadil ordered some healers to take Faer to her room and to tend to her wounds. Faer had passed out one and a half days ago and hadn't waken since. Legolas was beginning to worry. He never left her side. About a week later Faer woke. Legolas had been sleeping in a chair next to her, but woke when she stirred. Faer looked around and tried to remember where she was. Yet this wasn't what she remembered. Faer remembered trees and Legolas telling her that she was okay. Legolas was there, but the trees had gone and had been replaced by a ceiling and walls.

Legolas spoke, " You are finally awake. You've been asleep for nearly a week. You're in the Elven City."

"Where?" she asked.

"In the city you took me to when I was hurt."

Recognition went over Faer's face. Now she remembered. She looked around the room and then back at Legolas. At that moment Galadil walked in. Faer looked at Legolas with a strange look.
