Disclaimer: I don't own the Lord of the Rings. I don't own Legolas. Sometimes I think I do, but I really don't. Please read and review.

A/N: If you are a big fan of Legolas, you might want to grab the tissues before reading this. Also, I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up because I still have to plan out in mind everything that will happen and then write it. I hope that it won't be too long or else some people will get really mad. Therefore, I'll hurry.

Chapter 4

Captured

A few days later, Legolas and Idril walked quietly into the woods. They could hear the elven songs that were still quietly being sung. It was very peaceful.

"Thank you Legolas for bringing me here." Idril said. "I have missed Rivendel so much."

Legolas smiled. "I am glad you are enjoying yourself."

For some time, they both walked through the woods going deep into its depths. They enjoyed each other's company.

"Legolas," Idril said breaking the silence.

"Yes, my Lady."

Idril stopped walking. She looked into his eyes. "There is something I wish for you to have." Idril said as she pulled her necklace out from under her shirt. It was a beautiful heart shaped necklace and it was the color of the blue sky. "Legolas, I want you to have this. My father gave it to me before he died. He told me to pass it on to the one I love. I give this too you as a symbol of my love and devotion to you."

Legolas clasped his hand around the necklace. "And what shall I give to you as a symbol of my love and devotion?" Legolas asked.

Idril smiled at him. "Your heart."

"Then I give it." Legolas said. "My heart is yours."

In that beautiful moment, Legolas held Idril close and kissed her. Legolas had captured Idril's heart and she had captured his. They were meant to be together.

Suddenly Legolas tensed and looked around. He had heard a strange sound. Idril also looked around for she too had heard it. Legolas drew an arrow to his bow. Something did not feel right.

"Legolas," Idril shouted as she pointed to the east.

Legolas turned. Orcs and goblins were heading towards them. "Why are Orcs this close to Rivendel?" Legolas asked mainly to himself as he shot of an arrow.

"It's me they want. They want me dead like my father." Idril said as she too fired an arrow. "I have brought this evil upon Rivendel. I should have never came here."

Legolas looked over at Idril. "It's not your fault. Go quickly and get the help of Elrond. I'll hold them off."

Idril shot another arrow. "I will not leave you to fight my battle. Save yourself Legolas, let them have me." Idril said with tears in her eyes.

"Never Idril. I would never abandon you. I will protect you with my life, if I must." Legolas said. Idril was grateful.

Arrows began flying at the two elves. Legolas and Idril didn't flinch. They continued shooting off their arrows, hoping that Elrond would soon come to their rescue.

Suddenly Legolas cringed in pain. Idril turned in horror to see that Legolas had been shot in the shoulder.

"Legolas!" she screamed. She drew her sword and slashed at the orcs that were in close. Then she rushed to Legolas's side.

Legolas took the arrow out of his left shoulder. The wound was deep, but Legolas ignored the pain. He had to protect Idril.

"Idril, you must go for help." Legolas said.

"I won't leave you!" Idril said as tears formed again in her eyes.

"Listen, Idril, Go now! It's our only hope." Legolas drew his daggers out. His left arm throbbed in pain as he did. "GO!" Legolas yelled as he gently pushed Idril back toward Rivendel.

Tears were streaming down Idril's face, but she turned and began to head toward Rivendel.

Legolas watched for only second. Then he charged at the orcs and goblins with his daggers. Quickly he drew his bow and shot at an orc following Idril. He pulled back out his dagger and slashed furiously at the orcs.

Suddenly an arrow hit him in the ribs. He screamed in pain.

Idril turned around as Legolas screamed. She was a great distance away by now, but she saw Legolas fall down to a knee.

"No!" She screamed. "Legolas." Everything in her wanted to go run to him. She knew; however, that it would be of no use. She had to get Elrond's help. Tears streamed her face as she turned away.

Legolas cringed in pain. He tried to stand up, but pain was throbbing through his body. Unexpectedly, ropes were flung over Legolas's head. The orcs tightened the ropes around Legolas. Legolas tried cutting the ropes with his daggers, but he was weak and detained. Then the orcs placed ropes around his arms. Legolas was now a prisoner of the unmerciful orcs.
