A/n: I'm on spring break now so I'll update more often. Thank you to everyone that has stuck with me through this series so far!!! And without further waiting here is chapter 6
***************************************************************
Legolas half closed his eyes and tried not to breathe for breathing was to painful at the moment. The elf numbly and distantly heard someone approaching in. Fire ran through his body as blood pooled the ground from his side. A number of bruises were on his body, and the left side of his rib cage was broken, and he had several other broken bones.
Aragorn spotted the figure and ran to his side. He felt sick when he recognized his friend, and knelt next to him. " Legolas?" He questioned nervously in a fearful voice.
" Aragorn?" Legolas questioned in a soft weak voice.
" Hang in there Legolas I will free you." Aragorn said as he started to move the rubble.
Legolas moaned and let out a cry of pain he was unable to suppress. " No.. don't..." He whispered as he moaned again when a free piece of rubble slid down on the mound on his chest.
" I have to Legolas. You have to get free so I can treat your wounds." Aragorn told him as others came over to help free the elf.
One sharp piece of rock was buried deep in Legolas's side. He yelled out as Aragorn tried to pull it out. Legolas's face was deathly pale and his breathing was harsh and ragged.
Finally free of the rubble Aragorn brought Legolas away from the rubble to the grassy plains outside Helms Deep. He did what he could for his friend. He bounded the bloody wound around the rock he dared not to move. He knew his friend needed more medical attention, but he could do little more at the time. He feared to move his friend far, and dreaded having him ride on a horse in his condition. " Gandalf can you do anything to help him?" Aragorn asked desperately.
Gandalf looked down at the elf and sighed. " I will try to help him, but I will give no promises to you." Gandalf responded solemnly.
Aragorn nodded grimly. If he had any weakness it was his elven friend. He cared deeply for Legolas and hated to see him suffering. He moved not far away, but far enough to give the wizard room to work.
" Gimli go help Aragorn search for some herbs." Gandalf said sternly upon the look of protest from man and dwarf alike. Finally they left, and Gandalf moved to try and take the rock from the elf's side.
Legolas cried out from the pain, and as Gandalf continued to pull and twist the stone he fell unconscious.
Aragorn ran to his friend after gathering what little healing plants he and the dwarf could find. He stared in horror at his still friend. " Is he...?"
" No he still lives for now.." Gandalf cut him off. " But he may not survive the night however.." Gandalf stated truthfully in a grim tone.
Legolas yelled out with a scream that pierced the night, and cut through his friends like a knife. He was breathing heavily in short ragged breaths, and his face was paler then snow. Gandalf hadn't gotten the rock out, but had managed to slow the flow of blood to a crimson river. His eyes were glazed and unfocused. Everything was disoriented as he watched the fading world through half open eyes.
" ... Try and keep him awake Aragorn. I Shall return with your father." Gandalf said as he took off into the night on Shadowfax.
