Chapter 2 Blood-Spills
As Gimli and Legolas were walking with the other to Helm's Deep, the bite mark on Legolas' arm was starting to itch. Gimli must have noticed Legolas scratching it. "Legolas are you ok?" he asked. Legolas nodded. "I must of got bitten by a warg, no big deal" he said. "It looks infected," said Gimli giving a disgusted look at his arm. "Gimli, it's fine, like I told u it will probably go down in a matter of minutes or so" he said. "Whatever you say" Muttered Gimli under his breathe.
When they reached Helms Deep, the swelling didn't go down. Legolas got off Arod and then helped Gimli down. Gimli went over to Ewoyn, as Legolas looked at his arm. It was getting worse. Legolas had to sit down, he felt lightheaded. He sat down and leaned his back on a stone pillar, then sighed. Gimli was coming over to him; Legolas didn't want Gimli to see his arm so he hid it behind his back. "You look a little paler then usual elf," said Gimli sitting down next to him. The elf shrugged, hoping Gimli would forget about his arm. But of course he didn't. "How's the arm?" asked Gimli. " It's fine," said Legolas. He lied; it was hurting, and itched like crazy. The dwarf sat down next to Legolas. Legolas' head was pounding like crazy. "I wonder what Arwen's going to think when she hears about Aragorn," said Gimli sadly. " Wonder what the hobbits, and everyone else will think" Legolas felt very sick, but he wondered since elves really don't get sick. "But maybe he's in a better place, somewhere nice and with fluffy clouds" By now Legolas didn't know what came over him he was sick of hearing Gimli, he was sick of this place he was sick of everyone. He stood up. "Gimli! Will you not speak! I'm not well and your not a making it any better! So will you please leave me alone!" he shouted so loud that some people turned to see what was going on. Angry, Legolas stomped off somewhere. Gimli, wide-eyed, was speechless. Legolas, muttering to himself walked up the stone steps. He looked at his arm, it was worse then before. An elder man came up to him. "I see you got yourself a bite there," he said. "Yes, I guess," said Legolas. "What kind of bite would that be elf?" he asked. "I'm pretty sure a warg" said Legolas. The man's eyes grew wide. "And do you know what happens when your bite by one of those filthy creatures?" Legolas shook his head. The man coughed. "Come here" he said. Legolas did as he was told and walked toward the man. *~* Gimli walked around hoping to find Legolas. "Aye! Legolas!" he called. Just then he saw Legolas standing alone looking out at nothing. He ran to Legolas. "Master elf, I thought I've lost you," said Gimli out of breath. Legolas didn't answer. "What's wrong?" he asked. Legolas slowly turned his head toward Gimli. "Gimli, I- I have to tell you something, and it's important" he said weakly. "What is it?" "I cannot tell you here, but come with me" Gimli followed Legolas into a small room that was dark and little light showing. "Alright what is it?" said Gimli. "Well, remember the bite that I got on my arm a few hours ago?" "Yes" "Well I just found out that- that" "Go on!" "That what happens to you if your bite by a warg" "What?" There was silence. "I don't know when but well one of those wargs were um I should I put this, different" " How different?" "Well, if one of those wargs bite you, then well you become a blood- sucker" There was a long silence before any of them could speak. Just then they heard someone shout. "Lord Aragorn!" Legolas and Gimli both looked at each other surprised and ran out. Legolas sighed. He wasn't sure he wanted to tell Aragorn. "Where is he! Where is he! Get out of my way! I'm gonna kill him!" Shouted Gimli. Aragorn smiled at Gimli. " You are the luckiest, the cunningest, and most reckless man I ever knew! Bless you, laddie!" "Gimli, where is the king?" asked Aragorn. "Over there" said Gimli. Aragorn nodded and headed over to see the king when he ran into Legolas. "Le ab-dollen." He said. "You look terrible." Aragorn laughed. "Here" said Legolas handing him the Evenstar he had picked up from the orc. "Thank you" said Aragorn as he took it. "Aragorn" started Legolas. Aragorn looked up. "I-, I have something to tell you" "What is it?" he asked. "It's just that," he stopped. "Nevermind" "Alright, you sure?" Legolas nodded. Aragorn patted Legolas on the shoulder and walked away. Gimli walked over to Legolas. "Did you tell him?" asked Gimli. "No" said Legolas. "Why?" "I don't know I-," started Legolas but then fell to his knees. "Legolas! What's wrong?" asked Gimli. "I-think-" he started. Apparently Gimli knew what was going on and helped Legolas into a cramped room where no one was. "Are you ok?" he asked. Legolas looked up at him. He had dark circles under his eyes and blood dripping from his mouth. "Legolas!" said Gimli. "Gimli, I think it's happening to me," he said coughing blood up. "I have to tell Aragorn!" said Gimli. "No!" stopped Legolas. "What?" "No, don't I don't want him to know nothing about this!" shouted Legolas. "Then what should I do?" asked Gimli annoyed. "I don't know! Leave me alone! Do something!" said Legolas. Gimli, wide-eyed turned and opened the door. "I'll be right back," said Gimli and left. Legolas, coughing up blood, was alone in the dark. Just then a cold hand was placed on in shoulder. "Ah Legolas" said the voice. Legolas turned around to see whom it was. Legolas was stunned as he realized who was standing before him.
