"Come on Legolas…we need to get Emru and you both out of here…" Aragorn said, patting his horse, Nilica, on her head.
Aragorn mounted Nilica and steadied himself, "Come on…give me Emru…" he commanded to Legolas, standing behind him. Legolas didn't move, he looked down at Emru, his small body against his own, and mouth slightly open in sleep. "Legolas?" Aragorn asked into the darkened woods.
"I'm coming…he said walking swiftly over to the horse, dust erupting from the ground as he walked. His expression unreadable.
"Here…" Aragorn said holding out his arms for Legolas to hand Emru. Legolas hesitated, then placed the boy in Estel's strong arms. After Aragorn placed Emru comfortably in front of him, Legolas mounted behind, holding onto Aragorn's waist.
"Here we go!" Aragorn said, holding onto the reigns. Legolas sighed holding onto the man's waist, his hair slightly blowing into Legolas' pale face. He then saw Aragorn had an arm wrapped around Emru, who's face was buried within Aragorn's tunic, his small hands gripping his shirt as he turned.
"Legolas…?" Aragorn questioned suddenly, not taking his eyes off the trail in front of him. Legolas looked to the man in front of him, his face stern and proud.
"Yes…?" he asked uneasily, shifting his seat on the horse.
"Are…are you ok?…" he paused. "You seem…worried about something…" he said shakily, unsure of his words.
'What does he mean?' Legolas asked himself. The world around them became silent, the only sound that could be heard was the steady beat of the horses hooves, a soft song play, unheard by human ears. The song sung by the trees around them, Legolas listened to the majestic tune, trying to clear his head.
"Legolas?" Aragorn questioned again, being more persistent than Legolas wished.
"It's nothing…" he said, not wanting to peruse the question further. He sighed in frustration, questions ran across his mind. Suddenly he felt dizzy, he leaned his head lightly against Aragorn's strong back.
The man was slightly shocked when he felt Legolas' rest his head, but smiled with delight, 'He's really starting to trust me more.' He thought happily.
His attention was suddenly brought back to Emru, who squirmed beneath him. The young boy moaned and buried his head deeper into Aragorn's shirt. But his gentle body was shaking slightly in the cool breeze. He then pulled his cloak from under Legolas' head, who only lifted his head then rested it back on the man's back. Aragorn then wrapped Emru up tightly, like a newborn child.
The three raced through the night, wanting to get to Rivendell as quickly as possible. Aragorn held Emru to himself, the boy seemed to be comfortable. Legolas had sat up and was now simply waiting until morning, though he knew it wouldn't be very close.
The next day! (who saw that coming?)
Aragorn slowly made Nilica come to a stop, Legolas gracefully slid off, followed by Aragorn, Emru in his arms.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Legolas asked Aragorn, who laid Emru against a near by tree.
"We wait…until dawn…we will travel at night so we do not bring attention to ourselves…" he explained.
"But when we're just sitting here Don could be killing Amras…how can you be so calm when some ones life is at steak?" he asked, gingerly covering
Emru with his cloak.
"Because Legolas…I that is what you do being a warrior…and I know Don wouldn't kill Amras…you mean a lot to Don and he wouldn't kill Amras because he knows it's the key to getting you…" Aragorn said, his face showed no expression.
