As I awoke to consciousness, I blinked my eyes continuously. I stared directly into the glinting, daylight sky, which was blinding my chocolate brown eyes. That was really odd. It wasn't there before. I remembered being plunged into the darkness of the city when a blackout struck. I felt my body engrossed in a dry, grassy region and immediately jolted up. Veering my head around this strange place, I noticed I was engulfed by trees. Holy crap! Where the hell am I? I thought. I'm surrounded by a freaking forest! Okay, first of all, how'd I end up here? Maybe the family and I were on a camping trip and I …………… hold on a minute! It was that dumbass! First he shot me, then he dragged me into the forest to make it look like he didn't kill me…………… Shit! That means I'm dead! But I'm too young to die! And what kind of heaven is this anyways? Abruptly, I jerked my hands up to my shoulder and my chest to check if I was really shot. There was nothing. I was unscathed. Bolting my body up into the air, I sang in joy. Woohoo! I'm not dead, that dumbass didn't kill me! To the left of me, I heard the sound of horse hooves fuming in my ears. Someone was coming. Maybe that killer's coming back. My heart was pounding with adrenaline, like it was going to slip out from my ribcage. I started to panic. Then, I spotted a tree nearby with a plump base. That would be a good hiding spot. I thought. Suddenly, I ran noiselessly to the tree. I plopped down, bringing my knees to my chest with my arms wrapped around my legs, and leaned against the trunk. I brought my ears close to the edge of the tree and listened keenly to who approached. The trotting of the horse hooves stopped and there were two riders who leaped down from their horses. As they spoke, I shuddered. The sound of their voice sounded cruel and evil.
"We must find the ring bearer!" said the voice.
"He is probably on his way right now to destroy it with his other companion." said the second voice. Who the hell is the ring bearer? Someone's getting married? Destroy the ring? This is all confusing. I thought. More questions popped into my head. Now, there were clusters of them. Feeling fear flowing through my blood, I shifted my body uncomfortably, which was a stupid thing to do. This caused the leaves to rustle underneath me.
"Did you hear that? Someone is eavesdropping on us." said the first voice.
As I heard those words, I started to shake all over, which made the leaves rustle again. My brows were now lined with cold sweat all over them. The two riders then ambled off to hunt me down. Closing my eyes, I prayed in my head please don't find me, please don't find me. I was thinking of what they would do if they found me. What if they were going to kill me? I don't want to die again! It sucks like hell! Suddenly, the forest was tranquil again. I heard the ambling of the riders stop. It's probably okay to open my eyes now. Maybe they left. I thought. I slowly opened my eyes and to dismay, my eyes encountered the first creature.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." said the first creature. The creature's body was all black with a white handprint pressed upon its face. It was wearing an armor, with a sword in its sheath. The scariest things were its teeth, which were so freaking sharp. Then, the second creature came out from my right. "We should take her as a prisoner."
"Wh…. What a… are y… you?" I said with a trembling voice.
"We are the Uruk-Hai." said the first one.
"Ummm…… okay. But please don't take me! Please! I'm too young to die!" I squealed. My eyes were starting to well up with tears. I had to think of something fast to get out of here. Then, I came up with an idea, which was the only one I had. "Hey look! There's a monkey!" I said pointing up to a tree.
"Where?" said the second Uruk-Hai.
As soon as the creatures turned their attention to the tree, I quickly got to my feet and scampered out from the tree trunk and ran into the heart of the forest.
"Hurry, you fool! She's getting away!" the first Uruk-Hai yelled to the second one.
Not looking back, I ran as fast as I can. The smell of the forest was wafting in my nostrils. It was a flowery scent stirred with dried leaves. The force of the wind was whiffing through my hair. Then, I stumbled upon an overgrown tree root. "Shit!" I muttered. I tried to lift my body up as fast as I can, but as I got up I felt myself being pulled into a claw-like grip. As I looked at the hand that grasped me, I realized it was the Uruk-Hai. "Let go of me you cannibal!" I bellowed. It was gripping my wrists tightly and held a dagger to my neck, ready to slit my throat if I dared scream. The sharp, shiny blade that reflected the sunlit sky was only an inch away from my neck.
"You can't escape now!" the Uruk-Hai chuckled evilly.
Then, it stopped chuckling. As I turned around to look at its face, its eyes were staring into the depths of the woods, not even blinking, as if a sly fox had caught its attention. Then, it toppled to the ground with me underneath its heavy, monstrous body. Its back was facing upward. It had an arrow sticking out from its head. With great effort, I tried to push the body off me. "Damn! What the hell does this ugly dude eat?" I groaned. Finally, I rolled the body off, using my two strong hands. Then, I turned around looking up towards the sky clutching my chest and panting. Turning my head to the left, I tried to take a glimpse of who had killed the first Uruk-Hai. It was a guy who had a bow in his hand, aiming at the second Uruk-Hai, before it could reach him. Watching him pull the thin bowstring back, the bolting arrow plunged into its forehead. Then, it fell to ground with the arrow stabbed into its head. Relief flowing through my veins, the guy with the bow came running towards me. He had long cascading blonde hair that wafted behind him. His fashion was very distinctive. It was like in the older days, like Robin Hood. He wore a dark green tunic, a pair of matching breeches, and some brown boots. There was a quiver of arrows fastened onto his back, too. As he came into view, he asked me, "Are you alright, milady?" His hand was extended out.
"I guess so," I groaned grabbing his hand. Then, he gently pulled me up. "Thanks. That dude was way scary. He should have his teeth redone."
"That was an Uruk-Hai." said the blonde guy.
"Anyways, where the hell am I?" I asked. "And what's your name?"
"You are in Middle Earth, but it seems like you are not from around here."
"Obviously." I muttered.
"I am Legolas Greenleaf, son of Thranduil. My companions and I are camping out here, in Fangorn Forest."
"So where are they?" I asked furrowing my brow.
"They are in the depths of the forest." he replied.
"Riiiiiiight."
As we walked through the forest, I noticed the sun was starting to set. The sky was turning into a veil of orange swirled with pink wisps. Darkness was falling over the forest. All I could hear were the crunching of the dry orange leaves Legolas and I walked about. It was so quiet, which was irking the crap out of me, since I was mostly talkative.
"How old are you?" I blurted out.
"I am 2931 years old. Why do you ask milady?"
"Holy shit! No freaking way! You're joking right?" I exclaimed.
"I am not joking." said Legolas.
"Well, I'm only seventeen."
"You are still very young." said Legolas, slightly turning his head around.
"For your information, Goldilocks, that is not young." I said. Then, Legolas turned his head around again and shot me a glowering stare.
"Sheesh, calm down, you're so sensitive, for a guy." I muttered. "Are you gay?"
"Happy?" asked Legolas.
"No, duh! I meant do you like other guys!"
"Of course not! Why do ask such an odd question?" exclaimed Legolas.
"I'm just curious." I replied. "You look kind of like a girl."
In front of me, I heard Legolas muttering something in a different language. Probably curses. The sky was growing more darker. Stars from faraway, were now twinkling brightly. So Legolas and I just strolled on. Neither one of us talked on the rest of the way to the campsite.
