Disclaimer: I own none of Tolkeins Characters! Although some are very hot and I wish I could own one for at least an hour! Well here it goes, my very first fanfic. I own Amaril, Aust, Amastacia, Thokk, Imsh, and Vina.

Just a word.when the orcs talk in common, well they do not speak so well and that is what I am trying to get across. So bear with me on the speech thing. Also, I did a little point of view from Legolas. It made it easier for me to get ideas. Enjoy!

One more thing before I let you read, anything that is between -{AND}- Is someone's thought. So to let ya'll know, no, I don't own Legolas-though I am positive that many-many girls wished and dreamed that they did PLEASE REVIEW!!!

To Save A Friend!

Chapter Three:

A Happy Reunion & Rurik Dankil

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Aragon crashed into Elrond as soon as he ran out of his room, making them both almost fall down.

"Aragon, I was just coming to see you. I. uhh. have news of Legolas, word just came from Mirkwood." Elrond stated with sorrow and worry in his voice. "I will not tell you until the morning though. Don't fret over it! For if I was to tell you tonight, you would not listen to my council. So, get some sleep and I will see you bright and early."

-{Was Elrond crazy, mad? How could I sleep with that on my mind? What harm could befall my friend while I set here and sleep and wait? Well I shall try.}- Aragon lay in bed trying to sleep, but little came that night.

The very next morning Elrond walked into Aragon's room to find a fast pacing Aragon.

"Well don't hold back, tell me! Is he okay? Did he make it back to Mirkwood? Or is he on his way here?" Aragon spoke very rapidly and concerned.

"Slow down my friend. It is not good news! Come and sit."

They both entered the room and sat on Aragon's bed. Aragon could tell by the look on Elrond's face that it was something really bad and again he was flooded with horribly thought in his head. The suspense was killing him! What could have happened to Legolas?

"Thranduil has sent us word. Legolas has been taken prisoner by the orcs and they have sent a ransom note. The thing is, is that someone is directing the orcs. There is someone smarter and stronger than the orcs at work here. What they demand cannot be given.so we have called upon a few to help us. Will you be one of those?" Elrond questioned Aragon.

-{What was Elrond thinking?!? Of course I would be one of those!}-

"Of course I will help! Just tell me what to do I shall do it!" Aragon responded with much strength.

"Good, I knew you would. We have called upon two others. I believe you will know them! They shall be here within the hour. Be ready to go when they arrive and meet them in the front courtyard." And at that Elrond stood and gave a small courteous smile to Aragon and left.

-{What could have happened? How? I don't know if I can bear to think about how my poor friend is fairing in the hands of those evil creatures. Don't worry Legolas; we will come for you, just hold on!}-

Aragon jumped off of his bed, grabbed his things, and ran all the way to the frontcourt. There he stayed, pacing until these two came.

ORC CAMP

Legolas looked back to the corner Vina was now huddled in; she looked like a small bundle of rags.

"How do you know all of this, and why are you here?" Legolas asked very timidly.

She replied, "I.uh.have my sources for knowledge" while staring into her knees, which were pulled to her chest with her long slender arms wrapped around them. "I am here, like you, because of who I am. I do not wish to talk about me, so please." The last part spat out as she broke into tears again.

"I did not mean to upset you. Are you injured badly? Did they hurt you? Will you please come closer so I can see you better?" Legolas asked Vina with as much softness he could force into his voice.

She looked back up at him, slowly got up and walked over to Legolas. She looked up into his wondrous blue eyes and saw something she hadn't believed in for a long time. It was Hope. She stopped about three feet away from him; he could now see that she too was bound, by ropes on her wrists.

"That is better. Please tell me, are you hurt?" Legolas questioned pleadingly.

She turned her eyes to the ground and answered him, "No, not bad anyways. They beat me a little, but I am fine. You are the one I am worried about." -{I know he is only trying to help, but he should not ask questions that he does not want to truly hear the answers! I'm so stupid sometimes, how could he know how deep my wounds run? I don't think that I will ever let anyone know just exactly what those horrible beasts do to me, and exactly why I get my.war wounds! If only I had hope like he does. Oh how I wish there was someone, something to believe in again!}-

He knew how to tell things about people and he knew she had lied about being okay. He could tell that there was something bothering her, but not anything too physical.

The door to their cell swung open, interrupting his thoughts, and three orcs rushed in. Vina ran and huddled in the corner farthest from the orcs crying a little. Legolas on the other hand looked straight into Imsh eyes with despise on his mind. The orc did not like the way the elf looked at him and sent a gauntleted fist into his stomach, making him spit up a little blood and cough for breath.

"Thu masta wana see you now, you stupad elf." Imsh grunted at Legolas as the other two advanced on him and brought him down from his shackles.

He had been hanging there for hours and now he could barely feel his hands as they dropped to his sides and were pulled behind him to be tied by ropes. When the orcs finished, the dragged him out of the little dark room into the darkness of the night. They took him into another little building across the camp.

The room was larger than his, but it was still small. It had a few tables, Legolas believed this to be the place they dined. At the back of the room he saw a man sitting at a nicer table. The man was wearing wizard's robes, but not look as old as Gandalf or Sauroman. The man smirked as he saw Legolas being brought in.

"Well, well, well! If it isn't my guest of honor. How do you fare Legolas? I see that they are taking real good care of you!" The wicked man smirked with a coy smile upon his face.

"What do you want with me and who are you?" Legolas demanded with as much hate as he could muster.

"Come now, is that any way to treat you host? Now then, you are right! How rude of me for not introducing myself. I am Rurik Dankil," making a low fake bow, "One of Sauromans few apprentices. Oh, and my dear prince he taught me well, so be advised and don't try anything stupid!"

"I demand you tell me why you are holding me and that half-elven child captive here!" Legolas screamed with hatred.

He barley had time to brace himself for the hit he was about to receive from Rurik's staff across his ribs. The orcs grunted and laughed at this. He felt like his insides were on fire and all he could do to keep from screaming out was bite his lower lip.

"That's right my dear elf, you practice your ways of holding in the pain! And on the subject of the little demon slut in your cell." Rurik got a nostalgic look on his face and his eyes seemed to be hollow, but that lasted mere seconds. ".Vina is my whore daughter and that is all I am allowing you to know, not that you should get the privilege to know!"

He waved his hand at the orcs to take Legolas away. They stopped at the door as they heard their master speak once more.

"Oh and Legolas, if you ever speak without being given permission, you will be severely punished. That is something I do not tolerate!"

The orcs took him back to his cell and threw him to the floor. Thokk was in the cell already, and as Legolas was tossed in Thokk stood and left sneering, at the elven prince as the evil orc left the small room of darkness, not forgetting to kick the elf on his way out.

When the door slammed shut Legolas cried out loudly for the pain the he had suffered the whole time, but it stopped shortly. He pulled myself into a sitting position, resting pack against the cold stone. He thought how good it felt to put his sore aching back against the coldness of the stonewall. He looked around and saw Vina lying on the floor crying softly, but not moving much. He slowly made his way over there as fast as his aching body would allow him to. He could tell that she had been recently been beaten.

"Vina, Vina look at me." Legolas stated softly, as to not scare her.

She turned and looked at him. Her left eye swollen shut and the other half way swollen closed. She looked at him through her right eye and he could tell that she had given up on hope, life, everything!

"How, how can he do this.he's my.my." Vina mumbled before breaking into another soft cry.

The Elven Prince sat down beside the broken body of a girl and tried to calm her with simple soothing words. She laid her head gently on his lap and fell asleep quickly as he gently stroked her hair. He leaned against the wall and pondered the whole situation before him.

-{Aragon, I know you must come for me. You would have figured it out by now. Please hurry, I don't know how much longer I can hold out and this poor child has already given in. Aragon hurry.}- Sleep hit him finally.

Aragorn did not sleep well that night; he kept having dreams of his close friend. He kept seeing his friend get beaten, or being chained to a wall. When he woke, he could not get the saddening images of his poor broken friend out of his mind.

AN HOUR LATER Aragon's jaw dropped when he saw them ride threw the gates together. He knew that they had called upon two with great skills, but theses two? He was ecstatic with joy!
