Promising a Lie

Three days later……

There was a rustle in the bushes as Legolas and Estel had a silent fight behind the trees.

"I didn't wake you up to fight you!" whispered Legolas as Estel held him in an iron grip.

"Well, why didn't you say so before?" he asked sitting up and straightening his clothes with a perfectly guilty look on his face.

"Don't give me that." Legolas said, glaring at his friend. " I'm on business. There's a bunch of orcs somewhere off there." He said, jerking his thumb east.

"Hmm?"

"C'mon, let's go." Legolas got up and brushed dirt off his clothes and picked up his bow; Estel scrambled to his feet and grabbed his sword.

"What about Elladan and Elrohir?" he asked, following Legolas out in the dark.

Legolas grinned. "Give them their beauty sleep." He murmured.

"Sure thing."

Estel headed off into the forest, the darkness swallowing them, their eyes alert for intruders in their path. But where they should've looked they didn't, and behind them a dark shadow slid away.

"Now we wait." The owner of the shadow murmured. "We wait for the others. Now while we wait, let's have some fun, shall we?"

And he headed towards the direction in which they had come, the blade of her weapon shining in the dark moonlight night. "Shall we?"

* * * * * *

"What the he-?!?"

Elladan blinked and rolled his eyes. A scrabble in the night? His mind slid into focus slowly. Probably be the two idiots again.

"There's a bunch of orcs somewhere off there."

Legolas.

"What about Elladan and Elrohir?"

Estel.

"Give them their beauty sleep."

Darn that elf.

Smiling, he roused his brother and gathered his weapons. "Let's go, we're going to make the two idiots regret they ever left without us."

Elrohir sat up blinking. "Why don't you make them regret it? I'll just stay right here and have a nice laugh when you return." He asked.

Elladan nodded.

"Good idea. Then I can get all the credit for once."

In an instant, his twin was wide-awake. "On second thought, I'm coming along."

Elladan grinned.

"Then you better hurry up."

A shadow lurking in the darkness cursed, and there was a sound of metal hitting bone.

But the twins were gone.

"Shut up, Tails." A girl's voice hissed.

A voice drawled back an answered. "If you were me, Terra, you'd want to kill those idiots too. Girl, they killed my family and yours!"

Terra had a bossy sort of voice. "My family is yours. And Tails, luckily, I'm not you. And if I were, the first thing I'd do is wash my socks. I guessing you didn't change them since, well, -forever."

"And one more thing. When we catch up to them, try to act a little more sophisticated and evil, will you?"

And she left, leaving Tails pouting behind.

"What an attitude!" he moaned, "I'm going to kill Green when I get back!"

" 'Try to act a little more sophisticated and evil, will you?' " he mimicked, still grumpy. "You'd think I'm not sophisticated enough."

"Hurry up, kid! We haven't got all night!" Terra called back.

Tails hurried, a scowl on his face. "I'm older than you, kid!"

Terra swung her head back to look at him with her icy glare.

"Then act like it."

And so was the party, two hunting orcs, two hunting the first two, and another two hunting all four.

"Oh, brother." Tails sighed.

* * * * * *

"Orcs!" Legolas hissed, shooting an arrow off towards them. "One down, two, three, four, five, six seven, eight, nine, then, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, - how many are there?"

Estel, somewhere off, was busy fighting as well.

"What're we doing?" he called.

"What we came to do!" Legolas shouted back. "Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three- "

But Estel wasn't listening; they were outnumbered.

"We shouldn't have bothered about the beauty sleep!" he yelled to Legolas.

Legolas pushed hair out of his face. "What was that? Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one……"

"I said, ' We shouldn't ha- ' " but Legolas shook his head. "Not you! Did you hear anything? Fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty- eight……"

"No, except you shouting, the birds singing, the leaves rustling, the orcs grunting, the twigs on the ground cracking, the rain falling,- what? It's raining, Legolas!" he answered.

"I noticed. Sixty-eight, sixty-nine, seventy……" Legolas called back.

Estel shook his wet hair and continued fighting. Legolas and his counting.

"-and one-hundred." A cold voice said.

"Hmm, that was fast- " but he stopped dead when he realized there was a blade against his throat.

"Legolas?" he asked.

He blinked rainwater out of his eyes. A red-haired girl was standing before him. She held an unconscious elf in one hand, a sword in the other.

"Who are you?"

Okaay! Here's the chapter you wanted, and it's finished, (too bad, and it was just getting exciting) We'll strike a deal here. You review, I update. Deal?

Some people are probably confused about the new characters. So I'll explain it:

Terra = An evil girl with an annoying nature, a bossy attitude, and a grumpy brother most of the time. She's around twenty or older and uses a sword as her weapon.

Tails = A not so evil guy, with annoying sister, and a liking to French kittens. (I'll explain it in the later chapters) He's twenty-seven but he acts like a kid. Terra is always telling him to act older.
Green = Terra and Tails's cousin. She's the boss of the group that are trying to assassinate the heroes, and appears only once in the story, though always mentioned. She's twenty-five and loves teasing her cousin, Tails.
Okay, got it? I'm not good at fighting scenes so don't complain too much about them okay? By the way, I think it's pretty funny that Legolas, Estel, Elladan and Elrohir are going to have a hard time fighting people much younger than them. Never mind. I'll deal with that later.
