To Save A Friend!
Chapter Fiver:
Finally A Rescue
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Aragorn woke before dawn and sat waiting for it, pondering the curious dream he just had. -{He was just lying there. He looked so helpless, so lonely! It was almost as if he had given in and given up. It was so lonely in that dark dank cell. We have to get to him as soon as possible. I hope we can make it in time! Who was that beautiful elf girl there with Legolas? Who was the tall man towering over him the poor broken body? It was if he was controlling Legolas somehow. My dear friend, please hear and believe me, we will be there soon, please hold on!}-
He could hardly wait for the sun to come up, for the others to wake, so they could be on there way again. Approximately thirty minutes went by before the others aroused from their sleep. As soon as they woke, they packed up camp and again headed along their way. Only a few simple hours before they could hopefully find their friend. As they rode off that kicked up a cloud of dust that rose up behind them.

ORC CAMP

Legolas awoke, but had no hope and so cared not what now happened to him anymore. The door soon swung open and two orcs slumped in. They walked over to him and brought him down from his chains. They pushed along, back into the torture room, where Rurik was awaiting him.
"Good morning my Prince. How do you fair this morning? Are you well?" Rurik stated with glee.
Legolas did not respond, he couldn't even muster a glare in the evil man's direction; he had no reason to go on so why keep fighting. He let them put him back in his chains, and he hung there limply.
"Oh come now Legolas, no sly remark today? No evil glare of death?" Rurik asked jokingly. The mage continued, "Well I hope that you are ready for another round of yesterday. I also take it that you will not force me to make you do as I wish. I mean from the looks of you, you WANT me to do this."
Rurik walked over to Legolas and pulled his face so that it was facing himself and stared into the elf's gorgeous dull blue eyes. The stare took but moments to piece the elf and then Legolas felt it. The hot shooting pain convoluting all over his body. He hoped for death! The pain was immense! He could barley stand it with out crying out, and then he did. He gave in completely and cried out from pain. He screamed for the pain firing through his whole body and the pain in his heart from his so thought deserted friends. Rurik laughed in delight as he heard the elf cry out in pain and could easily seep into the elf's mind without problems. He would hold his stare for an hour and break. It was exhausting for him also; this went on and on and on.
During the breaks the elf would manage to pull himself out of his comatose ways and get in a little thought before the next round would begin.
-{Why can I not just pass out, like the other time, I do not know how much more immense pain I can take! Why does everyone I thought I cared for not care for me? I thought they were my friends, but now I see they only care for themselves. It is so pathetic that it took an evil mage to make me see the truth! Here he comes again!}-
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ARAFON, GANDALF, AND GIMLI
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
They approached what looked like a makeshift camp. It was set up a little like a town, there were few buildings. One that liked like a jail, and one that were a little bigger. There were two others of the same size. There was no fence, as if an attack was unexpected and unheard of. There were very small groups of orcs gathered in various places.
"Gandalf, what was your plan?" Questioned Aragorn.
"MY plan, I thought that YOU had the plan!" Gandalf remarked with surprise!
"You mean to tell me that the between the TWO OF YOU, there is NO PLAN?" Gimli piped in.
"Okay, this is the plan. The building that looks like a hold cell of some type should be investigated first. We should have a distraction on the other side of the camp." Aragorn stated looking expectantly at Gandalf and Gimli.
"Are you saying that Gimli and I should create a distraction while you find Legolas?"
"Well, that is exactly what I am saying."
"Fine, fine! We will be the meat grinders, Aragorn. You should now by now that I will do ANYTHING for my good elven friend." Replied a rather sad looking Gimli.
They were soon approaching the encampment and split to go into different directions, having agreed upon a meeting place and time.
%%%%%%%
ARAGORN
%%%%%%%
He quietly slipped off his loyal horse and tethered the wondrous beast to one of the few trees that were around. He quietly sneaked around the back of the 'jail' and went creeping along the side to reach the front. There he waited for his "distraction".
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
GIMLI AND GANDALF
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Well Gimli, my friend, how shall we create a distraction for Aragorn?"
"Well my old friend, the old fashioned way. Charge in and chop off the first orc head that we see. We keep doing this until we have their attention and they are too overwhelming. Then my dear friend, we run for our lives!"
Gandalf snickered a little at this while replying, "That sounds like a good Dwarf philosophy! Lead on my good friend!"
On to do battle, and to create a distraction, the two went. They charged in screaming like crazy men chopping and slashing along the way. They were very sure that they got their attention.
%%%%%
RURIK
%%%%%
"What in Saron's name is going on out there?" Demanded Rurik.
Two orcs that were standing ideally by watching with glee the torture that was going on rushed out to find the answer to their master's demand.
%%%%%%%
ARAGORN
%%%%%%%
The noise soon reached his ears from the other side of the encampment. He know that was his sign and he went running to the front door of the building he was trying to get into. All the orcs were gone! He found the door, and to his luck it was unlocked. He entered and saw a series of cells. He checked them all for movement but found only one was occupied, the last one. He slammed his foot into the door until it went flying open. He rushed in expecting to see his good friend, but instead saw the woman from his dreams. He rushed in and checked on her. At seeing him rush in, she huddled in the corner, as if in fear of him.
He spoke softly to her in elven, as if not to scare her further. "Do not be afraid, I am a friend! My name is Strider."
He saw her come out of her huddle and look up at him. He saw the mass of bruises that riddled her body and wondered what had happened to her, but he knew that now was not the time to ask and he could probably assume what would happen with a female in an all male society.
"I am Vina. What do you want with me?"
"I came in search of my friend, Legolas, but it seems that you too are in need of rescuing. So, would you like to leave with me or stay in this Valar for sacking hell hole?"
"Are you kidding?! Please take me with you!" She almost screamed at him, knowing this chance would come once in a blue moon. It was a full banquet being offered on a silver platter and she was not going to miss out on this feast. She had been hurt enough for this lifetime and the next, and she was not going to have any more!
-{I have no idea were this sudden burst on courage came from, but I like it. This man must be the friend Legolas was talking about, and if he trusts him, then so will I! I must get away from this evil place before it literally is the death of me!}-
Taken aback by her sudden outburst. He was speechless. "Hidden behind this building is a horse, meet me there and stay out of sight, I must go find my friend now!"
He helped her to her feet and she explained exactly how to get to were his friend was being held, and he rushed off in the direction she had told him. He reached the building, took in a huge breath and burst in, sword drawn and trumpet blaring. -{Well there would be trumpets blaring, if there were some here that is.}-What he saw made him stop, and he thought he had prepared himself for anything. There was his friend, slumping in the chains that held him up, holding a stare of some.some mage. There was more than what meets the eye, but he did not have time to analyze it. He could tell his friend was in desperate need of help, and that it actually meet be too late as it is to save him, but he had to try with all of his being.
It took only moments to recover himself. He charged towards the mage. He was stopped by a big ugly orc. It took him mere seconds to let the rage that had gathered in him take over and slash the big charging orc in half. The orc fell to the ground, holding where his stomach had been. The enraged man then turned upon the mage that was now looking, shocked, at him.
"Now, now.calm down! This is not what it seems.uh.okay, maybe it is. Toodles!" Rurik turned and ran like a scared chicken, out through a secret door hidden behind a very ugly tapestry.
Aragorn wish he could hunt down this menace and deal with him properly but had a more important matter at hand, one of time being the essence. He turned to look at his poor battered friend, not knowing where to start. He moved quickly and stood in front of him. He gently put an arm around his waist to help hold him up and with the other hand, undid the chains, which originally held him up. He gently laid him down on the floor, even with his healing knowledge; he was not sure what to do.
"Legolas, please open your eyes." Aragorn said in a desperate plea.
Legolas heard a familiar voice, but he knew it must be an other trick. He did, although, open his eyes. Before him kneeled a man that once resembled his old friend, a friend that had forgotten him and condemned him to a place of pain and torture. He let unconsciousness overtake him, as he was not too sure what exactly to think.
Aragorn saw him open his eyes, through that short glimpse, Aragorn knew he did not have much time, he had to get Legolas out of there now! He gently lifted the battered elf, as if holding a baby, and the elf weighed about the same, and carried him out to his horse.
As he rounded the corner, he saw Vina standing warily where he had said to be. He put down Legolas and helped her upon his horse, and then lifted the unconscious elf to her. Next, he himself jumped up behind the pair, they quickly rode to were three had decided to meet.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
GANDALF AND GIMLI
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Look Gandalf, they are running from us! I have counted at least 15 we have slain." The were now near to the center of the camp.
As if at the same time they saw a mage type run from the back of a building, looking quite scared.
"I will take him, Gimli, and then we shall leave."
Gandalf took off running after the mage and quickly caught up to him.
"Mage, stop where you are! Turn and face me."
The mage stopped and slowly turned.
"Well, who are you, mage? And what do you know of my lost friend?" Questioned Gandalf.
"My name is Rurik Dankil and I will be you end old man!" Sneered Rurik.
"We shall see about that. Now, answer the question! What do you know of my friend?"
"You simpleton! He is dead and you shall be soon. I killed him and now I will kill you!"
Gandalf, who was so normally controlled and collected, saw red. He grabbed his staff and with a wave, threw Rurik though the air and crashing into the building. Rurik hit headfirst. Blood immediately rushed from an open wound on his head. Gandalf then turned to leave. He met back up with Gimli and they jumped onto Shadowfox and rode off to the meeting point. Gandalf filled him in on what he knew. Both hoping the evil mage lied.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So, what do ya'll think so far? This is only one of the many things the poor elf will have to overcome, but hopefully he will always have his friends. Hopefully that is. I look around evilly, laughing meticulously R & R!!!!
