Chapter Five

Disclaimer: I don't own LOTR (I would like to though….), but however I do own Anya…. If you want to use her, just ask me…. Have a problem with that e-mail me ^_^ also I do own the little brown horse….

Anya spurred her brown horse on as fast as it could go, trying to catch up to the others.

Come on go faster, she thought as she nudged her horse again and again. I don't want to be left behind and I am sure you do not want to be left behind as well, so go faster please Brownie.

Suddenly the others stopped. She thought that they were waiting for her, but at second glance she saw that there were some orcs just ahead of them. She nudged her horse into a walk and brought him to a stop just in front of the others.

"Why have we stopped?" she asked quietly, not entirely sure why they had stopped, even though her blue elven eyes could see the orcs, which were now approaching them quickly.

"Orcs are just up ahead," Legolas pointed out. "We must get you somewhere, where they cannot find you. We are not allowed to let you get kidnapped. Well not now at least. Later on maybe."

"Prepare to fight," Aragorn said, drawing his sword and turning to face the army of orcs, who were now in capable sight of all the company. "They are stronger, now that Sauron has returned again. He has made sure that they can only be killed after a lot of men blood has been shed."

"No blood shall be shed this day," Anya said firmly, while drawing her own sword and preparing herself to fight. "Not if I can't help it." She turned brownie around to face the orcs, her fair face set like concrete and looking like thunder.

"Now that is one strange lady," Frodo muttered as he too drew his sword and prepared to fight.

Legolas set his bow and fired several arrows at the orcs and killed about ten of them.

Aragorn spurred his horse and galloped to met the orcs, who now at second glance are on horses, but they had no protective gear on.

Frodo followed in Aragorn's lead and charged at the orcs, his own sword glowing an spooky blue colour.

Anya looking at the orcs who were getting past Frodo and Aragorn, suddenly fell off her horse and landed with a thud on the ground. Standing up quickly, she brought her sword up, prepared to fight. She managed to get about three orcs dead, before one caught her by surprise and knocked her out with a rock.

Legolas looked at her and saw her lying motionless on the ground. Dismounting his horse, he ran over to her, killing a few orcs that were approaching her body. Bending over he picked her up and carried her as fast as he could over to his own horse, who was looking about quiet bewildered at to where his rider had gone. He was just putting Anya on his horse, when another rock came flying. This time it came flying in his direction and Legolas, being unaware to the rock, was knocked out cold.

A couple orcs came over to the two lifeless bodies. They bound their legs and wrists, before picking them up and running off. The rest of the orcs followed.

Aragorn and Frodo both cheered as they saw the orcs run away from them.

Aragorn had a cut on his check, which was bleeding freely, and Frodo had a wound on his left shoulder, which was also bleeding freely.

Frodo looked around and saw that Anya and Legolas were both missing.

"Aragorn, have you seen Lady Anya or Legolas?" he asked quietly, fearing the worst for his companions. "I cannot see them anywhere."

"No, I cannot," Aragorn said, while scanning the ground, for either of their bodies. "Their bodies are not here. I fear that the orcs have taken them."

"What do we do now?" Frodo asked. "Do we carry on, or do we try to get them back?"

"We try to get them back," Aragorn said simply…

AN: Sorry this chapter has taken me so long to put up, but here it is. I hope you like it. Any suggestions for the next chapter are most welcome. If anyone wants to be in this story, just let me know and I shall see if I can put you in. If there is anything you don't understand, also let me know and I shall try and clear it up for you. Umm… I think that is it from me.
