Hello to all the great people who read my story, I would really appreciate reviews, it doesn't have to say much, just proof that people actually read my story would be appreciated. Oh yeah, I don't own Legolas(although I wish I did) or any of the other Lord of the Rings stuff. Enjoy, then review.
Chapter 2
As Legolas and Gimli continued to sit quietly in the woods, Legolas thought he heard noises from the trees behind him. His ears perked to any strange noises, as he turned to Gimli.
"I think that you should go back to the palace and I will follow in a few minutes." Legolas said, hinting that Gimli should leave. The dwarf looked suspiciously at Legolas, and also somewhat hurt.
"I will tell you later what my thoughts are." Legolas whispered and pointed his friend to the trail.
"Alright, but don't be to long, or I'll send out a search party to find you." Gimli huffed, although the anger was just an act. Legolas knew as much and rudely pushed the dwarf out of the clearing.
The stranger who was watching from the trees saw the exchange and believed it completely. She readied her arrow in the bow as soon as the dwarf had left the clearing. She aimed closing one eye so that her target would not make a sound as he fell. Suddenly she felt the chill of steal on her neck.
"You will lower your bow sir," said Gimli, his ax at the strangers neck. "Or this ax will slice your neck of so you will never shoot again." Slowly the stranger lowered the bow, feeling extremely stupid for letting herself be snuck up on. At least, she thought, they don't know I am a girl. She knew that the punishment would be much more...intolerable for a girl.
"Okay," she said quietly, "You found me. I can't do any thing with your ax at my neck." She turned to face Gimli and her hood was drawn up to hide her face. Legolas joined the two, he had an expression of disgust written on his face.
"Let him turn to face us like the man he is not. He's just a cheap assassin for hire, ready to kill anyone, even his own mother. He is part of the scum of the earth, hiding in the trees trying to kill us. Who was your target, me or Gimli?" Legolas spat out the words, his disdain evident. He grabbed her arm forcefully turning her, causing her hood to fall. Both elf and dwarf gasped at what they saw.
"This is no man, Legolas, this is definitely a woman." Gimli said in astonishment.
"Yes, I gathered that. Now, I asked you a question, that man or no you should answer." He stated blandly. The stranger choose her word carefully, careful not to arouse the "sexual" interests of either of the pair.
"My job was to capture Prince Legolas" she said evenly. "Obviously I have failed." Legolas let go of her arm, a big mistake. As soon as she was free the stranger whipped out a dagger out of her boot, and threw it aiming at Gimli so as to distract the elf. Then she spun on her heel and sprinted as fast as her legs would carry her through the Forrest.
Unfortunately, Legolas was not so easily distracted. With a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure that the dagger had not hit Gimli, he followed the girl. Because her goal was to put as much distance between herself and Legolas, she made no effort to cover her tracks and her trail was easy to follow. Legolas was soon close behind the girl, and in one big jump he launched himself forward, tackling the girl to the ground. He straddled her, holding her to the ground.
"Alright, I'm beaten," The stranger said sweetly, "You can get off me now." She did not have much hope that the trick would work again, but it was the only thing she had to try.
"You actually think that I will fall for that one again. You are a beauty, but not enough to fool me again. What is your name and why are you here?"
"My name is Alora," she began, but was cut off by Legolas.
"I want the truth. That was a lie." He said flatly, looking into her eyes. She had the most expressive blue eyes, that was how he knew that she was lying.
"Wow your smart for a royal" she said, her voice heavy with sarcasm. She received an annoyed glance from Legolas so she continued with her identity. "My name is Elwin Fairhunter, and as you guessed I am an assassin. I was exiled from mirkwood many years ago, so I volunteered for the job because I know that area well." As she spoke she pulled back the strands of red gold hair that revealed her pointy ears.
"Well, Elwin, if you would be so kind as to take a walk to the palace with me, we can talk about your rights for being here. Yes, I do seem to remember tales of a beautiful elf being exiled, because she delighted in causing others to have problems. I hope you don't continue that behavior." Legolas arose, and offered his hand to help her up.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you laddie," came a voice from the wood, "That ones a sly one." Gimli walked from under the trees, looking intently at Elwin. Legolas kept his hand offered, despite Gimli's warning. Elwin rose on her own, looking at Legolas's hand suspiciously, and brushed herself off. Gimli walked in front of her and Legolas behind as they headed towards the palace.
