Ch. 3
The wind howled in the crisp, late afternoon air. The orange, cloudless sky hung low in the nearness of sunset.
But, things were not as at peace as nature portrayed.
Legolas froze, bow raised, arrow notched. Twigs crackled under feet that did not belong to the Elven Prince.
Something was out there.
Legolas truly did not care to find out as to whether that 'something' was friendly or not. His time for scouting was over and he had all intentions of returning home that night.
But it seemed as though fate had other plans for the regal warrior.
Those plans were revealed as the harsh shriek of an orc rang through the air, followed by the hard, thumping sound of orc footsteps as they neared Legolas's camp.
* * * * * * * * *
Estel raised through the woods, terror spurring his exhausted body onward.
Of course, it was typical of the young human....
He leaves Imladris....
And in turn, meets up with a horde of bloodthirsty orcs that were hellbent on killing him.
How typical of Estel........
The irony of the situation was lost on the foster son of Lord Elrond as he fled through the underbrush.
All rational thought was chased from his fever-clouded mind as adrenaline pushed him forward, away from the terrifying possibility that he could die a horrible death at the hands of the dark creatures of Mordor's depths.
A small part of his mind wondered...
Just why was he fleeing?
Wasn't getting captured by Orcs a way to end this wretchedness that he lived in—this pain that he as being put through by merely living?
Wasn't that a way of escaping all of the agony?
No....but it wasn't the way it was meant to be. That small, almost microscopic, shred of reasonableness was what kept Estel's feet moving.
No. He was not going to give up easy.
He was not going to let them catch him.
He was going to continue to run.......from the dark thoughts of despair in his heart, and from the dark creatures that chased him through the evening.
* * * * * * * * *
The footsteps grew nearer........
And nearer......
Until suddenly, a dark form burst into the clearing.
Legolas raised his bow, but stopped himself before releasing the arrow.
That was no orc! That was a man!
The young man continued to flee, not even paying the Prince any mind as he dashed madly past him.
Legolas arched an eyebrow.
Just why was that *Edan* fleeing?
The Prince of Mirkwood's question was answered barely moments later.
A huge horde of orcs burst into the clearing.
In that moment, as Legolas saw the large group of evil incarnate before him, he realized why the human was running.
Even *he*, the best archer in all of Mirkwood, would not want to take on that number of orcs alone.
That was why Legolas decided to turn around, and flee with all of his might, raising off behind the Edan as they both fled the same terror that was now hellbent on killing *both* of them.

OMG...I'm so sorry that this is so short. Don't kill me!~ This is a SHORT..........and a CLIFF HANGER AT THAT!

Remember? You need me.......no Lina, no post. No post, no story! Got it? Good....
Eomer: Lina...you know that you should make this chapter longer—
Lina: Eomer! Shut up! You know that I'm only writing this chapter right now is because I am procrastinating and putting off an English paper!
Eomer: *makes disapproving noises* Shame, shame....

Eomer: *beams* I'm smarter than meets the eye!
Lina: yea...okay......just use your brains to get me out of here ! I don't like the way my reviewers are looking at me!
