The Uruk-Hai, were not stupid. They could see the elf in the tree a mile off, a couple of them had scouted ahead to see if it was a trap, but reported back saying nothing seemed suspicious. They took no more time in being careful and sneaking up on the elf that was deep in slumber.

Legolas was aware of an evil presence too late; a pair of rough hands dragging him from the high tree branches waked him. He became aware of about 100 or so voices below him, cheering and chanting remarks. Legolas knew this would be his only chance to escape from the hideous creatures below him. Kicking out and scoring a hit in the orc's chin, he scrambled up a little higher and jumped for the next tree, the Uruk were under his very feet, some jumping and some throwing stones and axes at him. He thanked the stars that none could hit him though the thick leaves and branches of the high canopy. Uruk-Hai were faster on flat land than in trees Legolas knew for certain, however eventually if he didn't do something different soon, they would catch him. So, jumping down from an old oak tree, Legolas ran for his life, dodging trees, rocks and the unlimited weapons flying from the Uruk's direction.

Legolas noticed he was running away from the direction of his travel route, swiftly he looked behind him, the Uruk-Hai were not far behind, but maybe he could hide from their view and run past them when they were off guard. He threw himself into a thorn bush and crawled through it, reaching the other side, he sighed and bent backwards putting all his weight on his hands. He spared a small smile, before silently slipping around the gang of Uruk-Hai.



Another night of darkness seemed no different to Merry, he had woken up to find himself extremely cold and sick, more so than the others. Once during the night, Aragorn had had a chance to examine Merry's condition and had declared that Merry was suffering from the poison still and that it had to be treated soon or he would die.

The fellowship had a number of times complained to the beings (which they had found out had been given the name Dylags) about their friend's condition, but all they did was ignore them and hiss at each other for a while. Coughing slightly woke Pippin and he immediately asked,

"Merry, how are you faring?"

"I'm fine Pippin, shouldn't you be sleeping? You need all the energy you can get if we want to escape," Merry replied, ignoring the sharp pains runt through his head.

Pippin smiled slightly," I've had enough sleep already, it's you I'm worried about, you are the sick one after all."

"Shut it!" one of the Dylags croaked warily at the two hobbits. They froze for a moment, fearing a harsh kick or punch. But none came, the Dylags were excited and in a good mood. Gimli took this for granted and tried to break his bonds on his hands but with no success. Frodo, who had not spoken in all the time they were caught was deep in thought- there is no hope, Gandalf dead and Legolas missing, Merry near death and the rest of us captured and tied up like cattle. Sauruman has his evil creatures protecting him, the Uruk-Hai and the Dylags; the ring will fall into darkness. And with that a single silver tear rolled down Frodo's filthy check.



Legolas was beginning to think his idea was not going very well. Some of the Uruk-Hai had stayed back encase the elf had managed to return. Legolas had become cocky; he turned his head so he could see the confused orcs. His face widened in a smiled before banging head first into a huge Uruk-Hai. It laughed and sprayed its Saliva over the elf's face as it brought its club down hard onto Legolas' head, and he knew eternal darkness



So what do ya think? What is gonna happen to Merry and Legolas and everyone!!!! Review to continue
