Welcome back to my trilogy of To Live To Love And To Die.
Sorry its taken me so long to write another chapter but with having to do all the rehearsals and performances for Elvenprincessoflegolas's story its taken me some time!
*^*^*^*
I landed softly. He did not hear me. I carefully approached him listening for any sounds that may come from him, his breathing was light, he was inspecting the trees.
I kept to the right as he turned to look into the trees on the left. without warning he trned round grabbing my wrist. He looked into my face and smiled slyly.
'did you really think I could not sense you? What are you going to do now?'
I knew I had to think quickly or I would have failed. I did the only thing I knew best.
I kicked my leg forward, catching him between his legs. The smile went from his face contorting into pain. He fell to the ground, I swung out my dagger and placed it near his neck, 'if I had told you then it would not have been any fun!'
I smiled and stood up turning towards the cave, I stopped when he called after me, 'will you not at least help me up?'
'Nay! I will not I think it best you wait for sometime, many have told me that a slayers kick is powerful when they are not trying hard, I was not trying much although effort did go into it but not much.' I laughed at my comment and watched him place his head in the dirt in shame.
'Neverwen? Where is Quendir?' my watcher asked me as I entered the cave.
'Who?'
'Quendir, he was sent by Galadriel and should be testing you at this moment.'
'Who? Test? What?'
'the elf that you knocked unconscious in the woods, he was in the trees to your right as you exited, I heard you begin the training but thought you would have been a while.'
'Oh! Him! He might have trouble walking for a couple of hours, possibly a few winters!'
'what have you done to him? Or what did he do to you?'
'he simply asked me what I was going to do when he had trapped me'
'so.'
'so. I kicked him between the legs!' I smiled at the shocked expression on my watchers face, 'What? If I had told him what I planned to do then it would not be proper training because I am not going to tell a vampire or demon that I am going to kill them until I do that is!'
I walked out of the cave and headed back to the house. It had grown dark now which was nice, I was able to sense more in the dark, do not ask me how it just happened to be like that.
I climbed up the rope, which led up to my room. I quickly gathered weapons and a small piece of lambus bread, 'I will need this for the road.'
I climbed back down and rushed in the direction of the southern parts of the woods.
I had not gone far when I ran into a nest of orcs located in a cave, 'typical, I was hoping it would be a quiet night.'
I slipped into the camp silently killing off each orc, I had five more to go when one of them yelled out, 'I smell elf blood, its warm and nearby.'
I knew my cover was blown, or at least I tought it was until they ran in the opposite direction I had come from, I ran after them keeping in the shadows.
I stopped when they stopped o the edge of a clearing, inside the clearing I was able to see two elfs, a male and female. Three guesses what they were up to!
I placed my fingers to my lips and let a shrill whistle out, immediately the elfs turned to look in the orcs directions, they were up and running in a few seconds.
The orcs headed after them, I loaded up my crossbow aiming for one of them, I fired it and knocked it down. I then drew my sword and ran after the remaining few.
I looked on ahead and saw that they had caught up with the guy, it was then thati realised it was Tahiel. I pulled out a mask which was given to me by my wtahcer in case of a fellow friend or family member spotting me or I needed to attack somewhere near them.
I ran out, thrusting my sword into two orcs at once, they fell down to the ground, I charged at the last two, kicking out at ones head and hearing his neck snap. I ran at the last one, he drew his sword and stabbed it at my stomach, I darted out the way, managing to just miss it.
I twirled slicing into his stomach, this only made him lean slightly over, he stabbed at me again with his blade, it cut into my skin. I threw my sword round cutting into his neck taking his head off, his head rolled to the ground followed by his body.
'Great! Another wound for TW to mend,' TW was a shorter way for me to say the watcher or my watcher, he did not like it but it was my decision, 'I hope tahiels well and not harmed, what am I saying? Why do I care at this time when I am bleeding severely.'
I shook my head laughing in disbelief at the thoughts that ran through my mind.
I reached TW's cave and collapsed onto the bed that was inside, 'TW? TW?'
'I have told you many a time not to refer to me as TW.' He carried a bandage over to me placing it next to me, I stared into the back of his head intently as he walked to the water bowl and dipped a cloth into it.
'TW- Sorry! My Watcher, hunts are increasing, I killed a nest of orcs tonight and there were several vampires around, evil is increasing and I do not know why.'
'do not trouble yourself with thoughts of it, just focus on your task which is to destroy them so that Mirkwood may be safer.'
'but to keep Mirkwood safe I must keep myself safe and to do that I must know what is going on in the woods at this time.' I stood up as he finished applying the bandage, I walked out if the cave only to be met by three vampires.
'Neverwen, the only thing as I .' he walked out after me but stopped when he saw the vampires standing there.
'TW! Go back into the cave and fetch me spring,' spring was my bow, I had named it after the season in which I had been conceived.
'Neverwen would that be wise?'
'TW do it now.'
I walked to the nearest vampire slowly, he stood and watched until I punched him in the nose, he cried out alerting the others to attack me, TW ran back into the cave and returned seconds later with Spring in his hands.
I was caught off guard when one of the vampires threw back his elbow and caught me in the throat causing me to stumble and fall.
The vampires pounced at me, as they did one of them truned to dust, TW had shot an arrow at it. The vampires continued the attack on me ignoring TW.
I rolled out of the way and flipped up, readying myself for another charge but it did not come, ilooked around me and could not see any of the vampires. I turned to my watcher and he stared blankly at me.
'Where did they go?' I asked him.
'I do not know, they were there then they just seemed to disappear into thin air!'
'That is ridiculous how can one be there and then not? I am going out on patrol I will report back to you in the morning.' I walked off in the direction of the river in hope of finding the vampires that had attacked us.
'Why would they attack and then run off when they were at an advantage.' I thought to myself not actually watching where I was going until some one grabbed me around the waste and pulled me backwards, I punched out at them but missed causing us both to fall. I fell to the persons right when I saw who it was I jumped up.
'Legolas! I hope to the valar you were not following me!'
'Nay I was not! I happened to be in the area when I saw you pass it was then that I followed you, and it had been a good thing or you would have walked straight into the river.' I looked behind me and saw the river gliding by.
'Perhaps I wanted to go into the water.'
'Then I apologise,' I threw my hands down in frustration and ran off back in the direction of my home, 'Neverwen! Wait! I must ask you something!'
I stopped running and turned only to face Legolas, taking a step back I said, 'what would his highness wish to say to me?'
'He would like to ask her if she is going to tell him what she was doing out here in the early morn while it was dark.'
'It is my business but if you would really like to know then it is because I took a fancy for a walk.'
I turned back around and headed back for the house, 'Neverwen!'
'I am not going to listen any further.'
'Do not then!' I felt his hands go around my waste and pull me to a stop, he turned me round and placed his lips onto mine. I held there for a brief moment before I pulled back.
'Why did you do that? You did not ask.' I was not able to finish; he pulled me back to him and pushed our lips together again. I thrust my hands out pushing him to the ground. I did not say anything but turned and ran as fast I was able to go.
