Rei: -.- I didn't get many reviews on my last chapter....
Rath: That's cuz you SUCK and you left it at a wannabe cliffhanger...
Rei: Oh, yeah. That's right. Sorry.
Okay, now, remember, the pairings are Legolas/Aragorn and Twins/Aniveil. If either one of these pairings bug you in any way, leave now, because, starting in this chapter, it becomes Slashy.
I WARNED YOU ALL!! SLASHY WATERS AHEAD!!!! Not to mention a threesome with two of said three being twins, but that doesn't come until later.
-----------------------------------------
"Orcs!"
'Yrch. And at the worst possible timing.'- Aniveil thought. "The twins stole my clothes and weapons."- she whispered hurriedly to Estel, who nodded grimly.
"Stay quiet. Hopefully they won't notice us. If they do, I'll fight."-he whispered back.
--------
Silent, the two waited. Aniveil whispered to AlmirhÃl. "Go. Find my brother. Tell him what has happened. Make haste, but do not forsake stealth." He whickered softly to show he understood, nuzzled her ear and galloped off silently.
She glanced around, cursing her lack of weapons (normally she wore a sword, just because it without it she was seen as a woman in mans clothes, not a warrior as she preferred) she picked up a broken branch.
The orcs clamored around and Estel and Aniveil became still and silent. Once again, Estel wished he was an elf, for he knew that if they were discovered, it'd be his fault, not Aniveils. (Yet again, curse those gifted elves!!)
The orcs were horribly close now. 'What are goblins doing in Imladris?'- Estel thought as he shifted to ready himself for the possible battle. He shifted his foot and crack.
The sound of the twig snapping was strangely loud and at the sound of it the 15 orcs (for now they were close enough to count) whirled and armed themselves.
"Surprise attack."- Aniveil mouthed to the human, who nodded. As the orcs drew nearer still, not noticing the two Estel leapt forward and with a slash of his sword, decapitated the first orc. The goblins, now knowing where their attacker was, surged forward, only to find a second attacker, who swung a tree branch and knocked the second of them senseless.
The obvious leader sneered. "An elf. With a branch. And a human... ATTACK!!"
After killing another 2 orcs, Estel glanced at Aniveil, and saw she was faring quite well on her own: the golblins seemed reluctant to get in range of that quick painful branch.
Turing back to the matters at hand, Estel killed and injured more orcs until a short cry made him look up from his stabbing a rather stubborn orc who refused to give up. What he saw horrified him.
A long, ugly, black arrow protruded from Aniveil's right shoulder, the tip having gone completely through. A look of pain flashed across her face, then replaced by a dauntless look of cool certainty as the orc who shot her (the leader and the only one left) aimed again, this time at her heart.
A loud twang sounded as an arrow was unleashed, followed by the thump as it found it's target and the orc fell dead, an arrow shot through it's neck. Legolas had arrived with the twins.
They glanced around, taking in the carnage and frowned.
Meanwhile, Legolas rushed to Aniveil's side and tentatively touched the end of the arrow. She winced and took a deep shuddering breath. They both knew it would be painful to remove. If it had gone through (which it had) they'd have to break the arrow so that they could safely pull it the rest of the way through, otherwise the tip would cause further damage.
"Let me see it."- Elrohir commanded softly. He inspected it and cursed softly. "It was poisoned. We need to get her to Ada!"
Legolas helped her to her feet where she swayed uncertainly. She seemed to teeter precautiously for a second before she slumped forwards, into her brother's arms.
---------------------------------------
Rei: I told you I'd get Aniveil out of the way so Leggy and Aragorn/Estel would have some bonding time.
Rath: She's stupid. She's already planning the sequel and she doesn't even know how long this will be...
Rei: - Yup. The sequel will start out in Helms Deep and then will skip to Aragorn's coronation and that is where it will probably end, but not without it's fair share of pranks.
Lemme see... I think Aniveil will be out for a few chapters at least, so it all depends on how this should go.
Definitely angsty for Legolas.... Oh well, I'll plan it later.
Review!!
I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can. The more reviews, the faster I post!!
