To Save A Friend!

Chapter Four:

Very Soon We Will Come

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

"Gimli! Gandalf! It is so great to see you both in such good health. I just wish it were under better circumstances. Do you need rest, or are you ready to go NOW?" Aragorn spit out as fast as he could, not taking a breath between sentences.

Gimli and Gandalf were riding Shadowfox, Gandalf's horse. Gandalf smiled at Aragorn, trying to hide the pain in his eyes of their lost friend, and nodded to his question.

"Yes, yes, we are ready to go. The dwarf here would like off the horse, but he will live. Come, let us ride!" Gandalf stated with dignity.

Elrond waved to them as they grew smaller and smaller in the distance, riding to save there lost friend.

Gimli, Gandalf, and Aragorn talked of old times and of the new as they rode to where they hoped their friend was. Aragorn updated them on what was to come, although, there was not much to tell. The three rode until nightfall and decided to camp for the night, they would begin again at dawn. Not that any of them would sleep well that night, not knowing how their friend was fairing.

%%%%%%%

ORC CAMP %%%%%%%

"Ged up you pathetic being" Cried an orc at Legolas.

When the ugly elf did not respond the orc took it upon himself to go and rouse the sleeping elf.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" Legolas screamed as he received a kick to his already broken ribs, forgetting where he was and what he was doing there.

"Thu masta wannta see ya. Ged up, donna maka me help ya!" Grunted Imsh.

Legolas not wanting to let Vina be harmed in the process of them trying to bash him, he agreed and stood, using the wall for balance. He looked to his three 'guards' and followed them out of his bleak little room. They led him out into the encampment and into a different building than from the night before. He was led into a medium sized room off to the left of the main hall. The room was pretty much empty, except for a couple of chairs along the right wall and wooden stand with two chains hanging from the top corners of it. He was pushed of to the stand and his arms were released from the rope only to be put into the chains.

Imsh grunted something to the two underlings and they left in a hurry. Imsh looked at Legolas, anger on his face and hatred in his eyes.

"You waid tull I ged ridda thad dumb orc Thokk, than you be mine. I treat ya not so nice as Thokk. I led ya know exactlay were ya place be boy!" Imsh sputtered out while laying a fresh punch to Legolas's face. He snickered as he turned and left the dimly lit room.

After what seemed and hour, the badly made wooden door creaked as it was opened and Rurik entered, followed closely by two random orcs. He walked up to Legolas and turned to the orcs and gave them a menacing look. They then went and took seats in the chairs along the right wall.

"What do you have to say to me today elf?"

Legolas said nothing, just staring straight into Rurik's eyes.

"So, you do not wish to speak today? Well, you will tell me what I want to know or.you shall be punished." Rurik said as swave as he could.

"I will tell you nothing and there is nothing you can do to me to make me!" And at having that said, he spit straight into Rurik's face, hitting him dead on.

Rurik stepped back, letting out shouts of disgust, all the while trying to wipe off the elves 'degrading' saliva.

"You will pay for that you insulate fraud!"

Rurik spoke the orcs ugly language, barking a command at Thokk. Thokk turned and left. As the door shut, Rurik turned and glared at Legolas, a malicious smile upon his face.

"Now you will get a glimpse at what my power can do. Just you wait until my captain returns! I did not want to do this to you yet, but you have forced me to do my worst."

Legolas hung there glaring at Rurik until the door reopened. When he saw Thokk drag in Vina, it was as if a new sense of strength came onto him.

"Bring her to me," demanded Rurik.

Vina was pushed over to Rurik, the whole time she avoided eye contact with her father.

"Well my dear, what do you have to say for yourself?"

She looked away in sadness and fear.

"Nothing? Well, this is the last time you will run away from me! I have told you before, no one wants you. No one even cares about you. Only my men and I care about you. You know that your mother abandoned you to me at birth. She felt as if living with the elves was more important the taking care of her half child! I, I am the one that has taken care of you. I have given you a place to live, food to eat, and friends to talk to. How have you treated me in return? You run away! Well that was the last time, I will teach you good this time!"

"You never cared about me! Only about Saruman! These ugly beasts were never my friends, you let them use and abuse me for their fun! I HATE YOU!" She screamed with the most anger and hatred she could muster. Her eyes filled with tears that began to streak down her dirty face.

She looked to Legolas and once again turned her sad gaze to the floor, defeated.

"I'm sorry father! Please don't punish me. I know my outburst was wrong and that it will NEVER happen again." She muttered defeated looking pitifully at Rurik.

"That is right my dear, it was wrong and so are you. You shall be punished! You should know by now that you can not get away with such ruddiness!"

Rurik made a motion with his head and Thokk immediately grabbed Vina and turned her around, shoving her against a wall.

"Leave her alone you foul beast!" Screamed Legolas.

"Don't worry my dear Elf, you will see how she is invalved in you punishment."

Rurik then turned to Imsh and nodded. Legolas now noticing the cane he held in his hands. Imsh began beating Vina on the back with the cane. She screamed in pain with every blow. They continued to hit her until she fell to the cold stone floor, unconscious.

"NO! Don't, leave her be you evil creature! Rurik you will die for this!" Legolas bellowed out with force. -{How can this man, her own father, do this to such a fair creature! He is truly evil and if it is the last thing I do, I will free her from her cage of sorrow and sadness that this man has closed her into.}-

"Yes, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Now it is your turn to feel my ultimate wrath." Rurik smirked with a devilish grin. "Now look into my eyes you elf!"

Rurik wrapped his bony hands around Legolas's chin and back of the head. He pulled Legolas's head until it was facing his; their faces were but mere inches apart. Legolas not knowing what to expect squeezed his eyes shut.

"Open you eyes boy!" Rurik screamed in furry.

"No, I will never do as you wish!"

"Fine, this is what I expected. Thokk, kill the girl."

"NO!" Screamed Legolas.

"Then you will open your eyes?"

To that Legolas opened his eyes looked into Ruriks. The very instant there gazes connected, Legolas felt shocking pain rush through his body. Legolas heard speaking in his head, but it was not his own.

"I am in you mind now boy. I will find what I want to know and rip it out of you!" Rurik spoke into Legolas's mind.

Legolas convoluted in pain as the shocking got worse and worse. The whole time trying to fight off this thing in his head. Thinking of nothing but the forests. Eventually passing out from the pain. He willed his mind not to give in, and it worked, but his body suffered for it and gave in.

ARAGORN, GANDALF, & GIMLI

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

They awoke at dawn, ate some lembas, that Elrond forced them to take for sustenance, and continued on their way.

"I think we shall be there by tomorrow, noon." Aragorn said to the others.

"That is very well. Let us ride fast and hard today! I so want to see my elven friend again. I hope nothing to bad has happened to Legolas." Gimli said, while trying to hold back tears of sadness.

The rest of the trek that day was quite for the most part. Every once in a while one would speak, to ask about directions. They rode until nightfall and then stopped to camp.

They were all lying in their bedrolls.

"Aragorn, where is Legolas? I know I should have asked where we are going earlier, but I just wanted to get there. I knew that you knew the way, and well, I would follow you blindly anywhere."

"He is in South Gondor, across the Poros. " Aragorn answered.

"Thank you, I do not know that area, but I will learn it soon enough. Good night" Gimli replied. -{Hold on a little longer my friend, very soon we will come for you.}-

They all said their good nights and soon drifted off to a not so good nights rest.

ORC CAMP

%%%%%%%%

Legolas awoke to water being poured upon him. He was back in his cell, chained to the wall. It took only seconds to gather himself in his surroundings. He looked for Vina. She was there, huddled in a corner, staring at him.

-{Why does my head hurt so badly? Why can I not remember what happened at the end of the meeting with Rurik yesterday? How did I get back}- someone talking shortly interrupted His thoughts.

"I am glad to see you are awake, Legolas. I was worried! The last person Rurik mind forced never awoke. I fear that he will do it again, though. When I awoke, Rurik made me talk with him and I asked him about you.he will not let you go alive." Vina broke into tears at this thought. "He will do it again. He has sent a ransom note to your father demanding things that he knows your father would never give. He believes you know something, something he wants. What it is, I do not know."

"It is okay, but I worried for you. Did they hurt you badly?"

"No more than last time." She mumbled under her breath, forgetting that she was with an elf and would surely hear her no matter how softly she spoke.

"What was that?" Legolas asked, knowing the answer.

"I said no, I would be okay. I'm sorry you were brought into all of this. I MUST help you to escape!"

"I will agree to that! Only if you can make it out with me though. I know my friends are coming for me, they must be! Do not despair poor child!"

Legolas and Vina held glances for what seemed like hours. They only looked away when they heard the door creak open. To there unpleasure, Thokk clumped in. He grabbed Vina around the upper arm and dragged her out, with little resistance from her that is. All the while Legolas was shouting profanities at him and telling the ugly beast leave her alone. A few minutes' later two orcs came back in and took him to the torture room, and put him back up on the stand. He saw Thokk, standing against the wall closest to the stand, holding a knife to Vina's throat. Rurik entered.

"So, ready to try again my pathetic being? You collapsed yesterday you weak thing, so lets try again. Shall we?" Rurik said with much detest.

"You cannot make me.I will never give in to the likes of you!" Came the angry replay form Legolas. He knew it would only anger the man, but he could not control the unnatural anger coursing through his body. It was very unelf like, but seeing Vina hurt was all it took.

"Oh, but that is what you think!" The mage coyly replied.

Rurik pulled something out of his pocket, Legolas saw it was some sort of silver ring, and Rurik put it on.

"Now lets begin. Yesterday I tried to look into your mind, but I see now that it is too early for that. I need to finish breaking you first, and oh what an easy task that shall be!"

Rurik went to Legolas, grabbing him the same as yesterday, tried to look into his eyes, but Legolas refused to look. Legolas heard a muffled cry from Vina and chanced a glimpse in her direction. He saw blood dripping down from a small cut on her neck, made by the knife that was held to her throat. He knew that if he did not do what the evil mage wanted, Vina would surely die. He turned and looked into Rurik's eyes, defeated not by the man, but himself. Pain and disappointment ran through his mind right before eye contact was complete.

The pain shot through him as before, only more intense now. Rurik had a very evil and sadistic grin upon his human face. Rurik held Legolas's glance for what seemed as hours. Legolas in the end giving in to the pain that he could not tune out and screamed for mercy. He had never felt such despair before.

They took him down and brought him back to his cell and put him back in his chains. Where Vina was, he did not know.

-{They will not come for me. How could I be so stupid? I know now they do not care for me. Why didn't I see it before? Why did it take Rurik to let me know how they truly feel? I know now that they never liked me, they were forced to like me by Lord Elrond! How could I have been so stupid! Only after I looked into his eyes that this realization came to me. They will leave me here to die. I don't even care if I die now. Hopefully I will fade away from grief! Because, I know that's all that I ever was to them. Please let death come for I surely do not deserve to life this blessed elven life!}-

Legolas hung there for hours thinking, not truly knowing what had really happened to him and not knowing why he suddenly thought and felt this way. Not realizing what Rurik had truly done to him in that painful, unforgettable stare. He eventually fell asleep praying to Valar for death, the he knew he deserved.
