"What is it?" Kayya's blue eyes searched their surroundings absorbing everything around her.
Both the elves attention went to Akiai who was running towards them. "The camp!!" Kayya
breathed in alarm. She ran to the horse in one swift movement she was in the saddle offering a
hand to Legolas. He took it and barely got a chance to get on the golden bronze horse behind her
before she took off.
Neither of their minds were dwelling on the discomfort of being squashed in the saddle. As they
got closer the feeling of uneasiness grew in their gut. Akiai ran faster the closer they got to and
Kayya shook the reigns urging her on.
Slowing down was not on Kayya's mind as she saw the spot where everyone had stopped to rest
surrounded by men. All of the men and elves had their weapons drawn but none seemed to be
engaging in any fights.
Everyone was staring at the man who had his sword at Kyloran's neck. Kayya unsheathed a
dagger. Flakes of dried blood fell off the silver blade onto the dried leaves that covered the
ground. With expert precision she threw it surprising the man greatly as his sleeve was pinned to
a tree.
This caused the sword to no longer linger at anyone's neck. Kayya wasted no time in jumping
from the horse and walking to the man in fury. Legolas followed at her side.
"I gather that you lead this unknown army?" Much to Kayya's disgust the man was looking at
Legolas completely ignoring her existence.
"I do," she said calmly. But Legolas could see the anger glaze over her eyes.
"You? That is what the maiden claimed," he spoke with a smile on his face as if he thought the
idea of a female leader was comical.
One of the men showed the rest what maiden he was talking about. She was human, her brown
eyes showed her terror even though the blond ringlets of her hair fell into them. Her hands were
bound in front of her and she tripped as she walked.
"Kayya, I'm so sorry they threatened to kill-," the man ripped his shirt free of the dagger and did
not let the women finish, "We are of the army of Gondor by orders of our king we are not to kill
any of you."
Legolas' attention was caught, "Gondor?"
The man looked at Legolas who was staring at him with intrigue in his eyes, "Why not just take
us to your king?" The man looked at Legolas confused.
"If I were to take you to our king you would go as prisoners," he stood in front of Legolas
looking him in the eye.
"Do we have another choice," Legolas said this more as a statement then a question. He could
see the man trying to figure out what Legolas was trying to do.
"I have no desire to hold a harmless army prisoner," he said when he reached a decision, "But if
you will go so willingly I am sure the king would love to meet those who live so close to his
lands. You will be brought there,"he moved his eyes in Kayya's direction, "..and you."
Confusion was all he found on Kayya's face. Trying to figure things out she looked at Legolas.
Why would he want them to be prisoners?
As she thought she could feel her finger nails digging into her palms as she clutched her daggers
to keep from putting them into someone's heart. Particularly the man in front of her. The man
who wanted to take her prisoner. Or the elf that gave him the idea.
"Drop your weapons! And the rest of your fate lies with the king." Legolas dropped his bow and
quiver follow by the rest of the weapons he carried. Kayya's fingers remained curled around her
daggers.
Legolas silently pleaded with her to drop them. All they had to do was get to the king.
