I don't own LOTR. Wish that I did but I don't, so I need to get over that.

This is my second LOTR fic so take it easy on me. This story is dedicated to Moon Sea Earth, basically because if I don't dedicate something to her, she's going to hurt me.

Unknown Power Chapter 1 Spirits Frodo's POV

I shielded my eyes as a bright, white light admitted from Gandalf's staff. When I put my arm down , I saw out of the corner of my eye, Aragorn put an arm out to steady Legolas. I didn't have time to think about it before I heard that evil creature's growl. My attention turned back to the fight. I was worried for my old friend.

As the creature (what was it that Gandalf had called it) took a step forward onto the bridge. The bridge began to brake and the creature began to fall. As Gandalf turned back toward us the whip the creature had used came back up and wrapped itself around Gandalf's ankles. He dropped his staff and sword while being pulled back, toward the edge of the bridge. A feeling of hopelessness came upon me as he clung there, looking back at us. "Fly you fools," he whispered, and then let go.

I tried to get to him, but Boromir held me back. No, this couldn't be happening. It just couldn't.

Boromir picked me up as I screamed for Gandalf. When suddenly Legolas pulled us back. I could tell Boromir was about to question him, until he saw the look of horror in the elf's eyes. I didn't care. We had just lost Gandalf and no one was doing anything about it. We no longer had any hope in succeeding in our mission.

Pippin's soft, yet scared voice reached my ears as everyone else came up to us. "What is that?" I looked up and saw a brown transparent, spirit like thing hovering in front of us.

Aragorn made a move as if to step in front of Legolas. It was clear by the looks on their faces they knew what the thing was, and that they really didn't want to. "The ring bearer and an elf! Hehehe, what joy, being able to grab the Ring and capture one of the first born for my master!"

Without speaking the fellowship, Boromir having put me down, made a barer between the spirit and myself. Legolas seemed to show great hatred toward this thing and was the first one to take out his weapons. The spirit let out a screech and that was when chaos broke out.

Other spirits came out of no where, probably about fifteen, but they where to fast for one to know for sure. To my surprise the first spirit charged at Legolas, and thus the battle began.

Legolas looked over to see how I was doing, which was very well considering that none of the spirits attacked me. His eyes widen and locked on something behind. As I turned around I saw the spirit that had been talking, charge right for me.

Aragon's POV

I heard Legolas yell out for Frodo to move and spun toward his voice. I saw Boromir do the same, as well as the hobbits. Gimli was to absorbed in fighting to even notice.

We had turned around just in time to see Legolas push Frodo out of the way of the unsettled spirit. The spirit itself though grabbed Legolas' neck and in a cloud of dust disappeared. "LEGOLAS!" all the hobbits screamed. I myself stared helplessly at the spot where my friend had been.

All our heads turned when we heard the ghost laughter. "I think a death like your other friend had should be this one's fate." Our enemy was floating 20 feet above the broken bridge; fingers still around Legolas' neck and a sickly smile in place. I knew that Legolas had to be in a lot of pain because that's what these spirits do. They cause pain to the first born.

Frodo's scream for the elf broke through the tense silence that had formed since we saw what the fate of our friend would be. Then, as if time had slowed, the spirit dropped Legolas.

Legolas was going to die just as Gandalf had. This couldn't be happening. We couldn't lose two members of the fellowship here, we just couldn't. my heart seemed to burst as time went back to normal and Legolas fell faster, knowing that we were going to lose him.
