Paralyzing Devotion
Chapter Three: This is not home
(A/N: Thank you for reviews already! I am amazed yet irate over others. I am going to try and take your advice that you gave me for I am trying to work on other stories as well that do not go online and are much bigger. Also to note, I did use paragraphing in my stories, but they were not used when got online. Sorry! :( )
Disclaimer: (Forgot to put it on the first one, oops) I own NOTHING! I do wish I own it all, but I don't. I own the story line, which did not turn out as I really wanted it to and the characters that you do not know from the Lord of the Rings books or any other books.
*****************
Orcs ran through the woods after the small group of Elves that were running from them. Their cries were frightening as many of the young Elves turned and shot arrows at the creatures.
"I can not believe that those used to be Elves!" A young Elf yelled in Elvish as he turned and shot another arrow off and smiled when it hit its mark. "If I ever get captured, kill me first. I want to remember trees and sunlight instead of rocks and darkness!" He joked as ran close to some of the younger Elves, who laughed a bit while the others continued to run.
"Quiet your mouth, Ohabein, we are far from safety!" The oldest of the party spoke with a harsh voice, almost unnormal for an Elf. "If you do not remember, it was a group of Orcs that made the Prince the way he is now!" With a glare, the older Elf started to run faster. "Come, we must try and get back to the palace or get some help from the guards somewhere close to the palace! Hurry, it is another two miles that we must travel!"
Grumbling, the Elves followed as they continued to turn and shoot arrows at their pursuers. The young Elf called Ohabein was one of the few Elves that turned around and shot at the orcs chasing them. When he turned one time a gasp came from his mouth and he stared in shock when his eyes spotted a young woman coming out of the forest holding her chest in pain and blood coming out of her mouth.
"Lord Uathern! Lord Uathern! There is a young girl behind us who looks beat up." His joking voice was gone as he stopped running and shot an arrow at the orcs. The others around him also stopped and looked at the woods. "I could never allow any kind of being to be held in the hands of the enemy! Orcs or no orcs, I will not leave that girl alone!" Lord Uathern, who had yelled at Ohabein only a minute before, stopped as he turned and looked behind them.
Taking in a deep breath, the older Elf looked at Ohabein with a wondering gaze. "Are you willing to stay and fight just for one life even though you could die?"
Ohabein nodded with a sure look.
"Are you all willing to fight for this creature?"
Everyone nodded.
Smiling, Uathern nodded and took out an arrow and quickly shot it towards the group of orcs. "Then let us fight."
All of the seven Elves in the group turned towards the group of running orcs and started to fire arrows repeatedly at the orcs until only four were still alive and were running far from the group. Ohabein looked at his fellow Elves around him until he looked over at Uathern. "Why could we not have just don't that before? It seems that all orcs are afraid of the wondrous seven!" His joking voice was back as he heard his friends laugh, but things were quiet when the young girl, who was as pale as a wrath and was looking as scared as a drowning animal started to walk up towards them. "By the Valar!" Joking was out of his mind once more. "Young one, you have nothing to fear, we will not hurt you. I am Ohabein of Mirkwood."
"Oh god, I am dead!" They young girl spoke as she looked at the Elves standing in front of her. Tears were falling from the pain in her chest as she tried to ease her pain by holding her chest tighter.
"Young one, if you were dead then you would not be in pain." Ohabein spoke as he watched the girl's face. "Lord Uathern, we need to get her back to the palace. We need a healer to look at her."
"Yes, you are a very lucky girl even though you look very bad. If it had not been for Ohabein's sharp eyes that spotted you and the fact that Lord Elrond was staying at our King's palace now, I would say that you are just as well dead." Looking at the girl, Uathern nodded and looked at Ohabein. "Carry her to the palace or she will fall." Looking back towards the girl. "Do not worry, you are in the hands of the Elves now."
Looking at the smile that Lord Uathern gave her, the young girl smiled a weak smile back before closing her eyes when she felt her body being gentle picked up by strong arms.
