Hey I do own something! I've got a 'seven dwarves' disney mug! (albeit
with a slightly cracked handle) And an empty Twix wrapper! Lucky me! Pity I
don't own the story or characters though. Ah well - the only way is up!
Chapter 12
"He's here!" Faith repeated.
"Faith?" Buffy queried.
"He has...God...He's come to earth!" Faith said excitedly.
"God has come to earth?" Mari commented sarcastically from her cage.
"Legolas." Faith said, ignoring Mari's words. "Hey! Elf boy! Now would be a good time to do the whole rescuing damsel in distress thing!" She shouted, while holding her necklace tightly, hoping and wondering whether he could hear and see her the way she could see him.
***
"Faith!" Legolas cried. "I can see her Gandalf. She is imprisoned in some cage. There are others around her. Other slayers. I do not know where she is. She cannot get out."
Gandalf raised an eyebrow at Legolas as he took in the way Legolas held his necklace. "This is good news." He said turning to Travers.
"Indeed." Travers commented, annoyed that his speech had been interrupted by the person who had threatened to kill him not long before. "Can you see how many others?"
"Another five sit in cages, held against their will."
"The ritual has already begun then." Travers stated. "Originally there would have been nine. We must act quickly, if my calculations are right we do not have much time. And Faith," He said turning to look directly at Legolas, "Will be in the next batch for sacrifice."
Legolas blanched. He felt slightly faint when a hand pressed to his shoulder. He turned to see Aragorn standing behind him. "We will get to her Legolas. We will save her. And the others."

"Is there a way of breaking the bars of their cages so that they may escape?" Frodo asked.
"There is a spell. It requires an experienced spellcaster." Travers answered as he looked for the book which contained the spell in question.
"We do have a wizard amongst us." Gimli commented gruffly. He had taken note of Legolas's face and decided to step in with a comment first before the elf tried to make Travers eat the book he now held.
"Of course! Gandalf if you would be so kind. I'll just get what the spell needs." Travers made off towards his supply cupboard.
Legolas let out his breath slowly. "Thank you Gimli." He said quietly before willing his thoughts to Faith. I am coming he told her.
"Legolas," Gandalf said softly. Legolas turned to face the wizard. "You must tell Faith to protect herself. I do not know how powerful this spell is. It may do nothing..."
"But then again it may do too much." Legolas finished.
"Yes."
"I will try to warn her."
***
Faith felt Legolas speaking to her. Somewhere inside her she could sense he was trying to warn her. She couldn't understand for a moment, then realisation hit her and she yelled out. "Duck and cover!" Before rolling into a ball, hoping to protect herself from whatever Gandalf was about to do.
