The Last Mission

             "Maiavel? Hello?" Legolas walked around the outside walls of Elrond's home in search of the mysterious elf and the four hobbits. The company didn't notice their absence at the 'after party' until Bilbo asked about Frodo. Once Legolas had remembered Maiavel's name meaning, and the hobbits being gone, he put two and two together and begun his frantic search for the five.

                He endlessly searched around the home until he realized where he had found Maiavel earlier that day. He remembered the secluded spot in the woods and how she reacted when he greeted her. 'She couldn't have been sent out to kill these hobbits, could she?' Legolas had thought for too long, and suddenly heard desperate cries for help.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

                Merry lay on the ground with his eyes still closed. I still held the dagger above his head just to mess with his mind. It was all fun and games until he began to cry for help. His loud, obnoxious yelps beat directly into my ears. It was distracting me from duties, and I couldn't bear the sound anymore.

                I quickly covered his mouth just as Pippin began to rouse again. I began to panic when I realized Pippin sprang up from the ground and was running in the opposite direction. I knocked Merry on the side of the head with my dagger and chased after Pippin. It was beginning to get ridiculous. Was I losing my touch or were these hobbits just too determined to live?

                I chased after Pippin with amazing speed. To my luck, Pippin tripped on an unseen root and fell to the ground with a loud yelp. I saw this as a perfect chance to kill him and run back to Merry. I pulled out my dagger and raised it above his head. Before I brought it down, I hear a twig snap.

                Before I had time to react, the prince Legolas jumped from a bush and knocked me to the ground. His strong hands almost overpowered me, but I fought back and managed to cut his arm with my weapon. He recoiled immediately, but did not show any signs of pain, which slightly confused me.

                I lunged at him again to cut him even harder, but he knocked my dagger out of my hand. This threw me off, and in a second he had me pinned to the ground. I completely forgot about the hobbits. My new mission was to kill this elf. We remained in the position for some time. I was on my back and his face was mere inches from mine. I think I even saw him smirk.

                I was in complete disgust, so I struggled even more. But I was somehow powerless. Every move I tried to make, he stopped me. The wrestle was getting pointless, so I decided to speak. "Get off me!" I screamed. Legolas didn't move, he only gripped me harder.

                "What are you doing out here?" He asked calmly. I tried to escape his grasp again, but failed. "Nothing!" I said. But Legolas knew better than that. I guess I was too easy to read, he laughed at my reply. "I know you were out here for a reason, Maiavel. And I don't think it was a good one either."

                I narrowed my eyes and fought once again. This time I broke loose. I managed to stand up and grab my dagger before Legolas grabbed my arm again. But I was quick enough to put the dagger to his throat. He winced back, and I smirked. "Leave me alone." I said coldly.

                "Leave the hobbits alone." Legolas whispered. I lightly pushed the dagger into his neck, and he blinked hard. "I know why you're here Maiavel, but you can't kill those hobbits." I looked at him, and then the path the hobbits ran down. I glanced at Legolas again, and ran after the hobbits with my dagger raised in the air.

                I ran as fast as I possibly could, and caught up with Pippin. He turned his head to see who was approaching him, and screamed when he saw me. I was inches away from him, and got my dagger ready. Suddenly, I felt a piercing pain on my right side.

                I stopped running and looked down at my body. Right above my hip was an arrow lodged in my side. I gasped out in pain, and dropped to my knees. I saw Legolas running up to me with his bow in hand. He was the one that shot me. "What are you doing?!" I yelled.

                "You cannot kill these hobbits. So I had to stop you somehow." Legolas put his bow away and sighed. I hissed under my breath and sprang up to kill this prince. I grabbed him by the shoulder and was about to stab him when I felt the worse pain of all. I looked down at my stomach and saw one of Legolas's swords there.

                My vision became hazy and I fell to my knees again. Slowly I lay on the ground and closed my eyes. My hearing became dimmer, but I heard the echoing voice of Legolas in the distance. "I'm sorry." Was the last thing I ever heard as I slowly faded into death.
