CHAPTER 4
Legolas sat leaning against a large rock observing the sky. They had been traveling for 2 days, chasing after the orcs. They had stop to rest for the night.
"You must rest Legolas." Aragorn said walking over to him.
"I am not tired." Legolas answered.
"Do not worry for the hobbits they are strong." Aragorn said
"It is not them I worry for." Legolas said tiredly.
"Who do you worry for then?" Aragorn questioned.
"Hope was following us and was taken by an orc." Legolas answered.
"Now I see." Aragorn said. "You worry for her."
"I fear she was hurt today." Legolas began to say. "I felt her pain. When ever the orc hit her, my vision blurred and I felt the pain."
"That is why you started to stumble back there." Aragorn said.
"Yes, and I hope she is okay." Legolas finished....
Hope woke. She was lying on a grassy hill in the pitch black night. She must have fallen asleep while being carried. Merry and Pippin were wide awake, sitting her right side.
"What is going on?" Hope asked.
"The Rohan riders have hunted us down and have surrounded us." Pippin said with a smile. Hope looked. Sure enough fires were lit around the hill.
"Do you think we might be able to escape?" Merry asked.
"I know you two will. See that orc over there. The stalky one." Hope said.
"Yeah." Merry said.
"In about 2 minutes, he is going to come over to you and ask to give him the ring. You will pretend to have it and in the end, you will both make it off this hill." Hope said.
"What about you?" Pippin asked.
"My destiny is not to leave now." Hope answered.
"But if you stay here you will most likely be killed." Pippin said.
"Maybe so." Hope said. The orc came over to the hobbits and did exactly what Hope had said what would happen. From the teasing of the hobbits, he grabbed them and ran down the hill. There was a shriek and then silence. Hope looked over the edge. She saw two shadows running toward the forest. "They made it." She said with relief.
"But you won't." A voice said entering her mind. There was a hard yank on her head and she fell on her back, a rock jabbing into her side. He dragged her to her feet. "To bad I can't kill you." He whispered in her ear. He threw her over he's shoulder and ran down the hill. There was clanging of swords. Hope could see the rider's feet. Many fell and some backed away. The orc ran to the edge of the woods. He stopped. The Rohans stopped. "If you want her come and get her." The orc said and turned around and ran into the woods.
