NEW TRIVIA- NAME TWO OF THE ELVEN RINGS. PRETTY EASY, TRY ANYWAYS.

CHAPTER 7 BATTLE OF WILLS

Aragorn reached over to push Legolas behind him. Legolas saw him reach over, and moved out of reach.

"Legolas, please don't do this. This isn't exactly a good time to argue with me. Plus, Thranduil will kill me if you get hurt." Aragorn plead. The elf moved his horse father away from Aragorn.

"Don't touch me." Legolas frantically. His body was shaking. Aragorn sighed. He didn't have time to win over Legolas' trust.

"Can you fight?" The ranger asked. there was no response as the elfling looked in the direction the orcs were coming from.

"Can you fight?" Aragorn repeated more forcefully.

"No." Legolas murmured, looking away with embarrassment. The human sighed. This was not going to be easy. Countless orcs burst through the woods, and surrounded them before he could think farther on the subject. There were to many for Aragorn to fight, and protect Legolas at the same time. With another sigh, he stepped in front of the child, and went into defensive position

Legolas stood back and watched the fight. He felt completely useless. He had never been trained for fighting, but he still wondered if he should help Aragorn. Rayne had never told him to help anyone. And how did he know this man was any different from his former capturer? He could care for Legolas in one minute, and the next, not care at all, beat up on him, everything. Maybe Rayne was right. Maybe only Rayne cared for him. Maybe...

"NO!" Legolas screamed out loud. Aragorn looked up for one second, and was hit from behind. He fell to the ground, dazed. One of the orcs walked over to him, raised his sword as if to kill, then....

"Don't kill him yet." A large orc growled, "Remember, he wants them alive. Both of them."

"Can't we rip an arm? He doesn't need all of the human." a second orc licked his lips greedily.

"No. Our orders were clear. Both of them, alive and as uninjured as possible. Get the elf." The leader said. The orcs approached Legolas. He started trembling, backing away from the orcs. They grabbed him, and slung him over a shoulder. He pounded on the orcs back futilely and kicked wildly. Soon enough, his struggling was ceased as a sharp pain erupted in the back of his head, and darkness took him.

Aragorn slowly came to. He was in some type of cell, hung from the wall be his wrists. Immediately, he looked for the elf child.

"Legolas. LEGOLAS!" Aragorn shouted as loud as he dared. There was a laugh beside him. He turned, and saw Legolas on the floor at a shadowy figure's feet..

"It's so weird, you know. I told him of how you allowed yourself to so easily get caught, and now he has a battle of wills going on. One side being my words, the other being what little courage he has left. It's quite entertaining." Rayne grinned.

"Legolas, don't listen to him! He only tells you lies. There are thousands of people that care about you. Don't listen!" Aragorn desperately tried to reach the child.. Rayne laughed, but Legolas looked up. Legolas stared into Aragorn's eyes for a second, then turned to Rayne and bowed his head in defeat.

* Cliffhanger again. What will happen now that Legolas has been defeated by Rayne? What does Aragorn think? What will Rayne do? What is going through Legolas's head? RR, and I'll let you know what happens. I already wrote the next chapter. Give me a reason to put it up. I encourage all my readers to review. Please. Legolas's fanatical fan girl
