Disclaimer-I OWN NOTHING

"Quickly, take the armour off him." She looked over her shoulder to see that Legolas was already ahead of her. "Here," she handed him a bowl full of herbs, "grind those into powder and put it on his wound." Then without another word she rushed out of the door.

Legolas chased after her, "Where are you going?"

"To find help, we need real medicine or your friend could die. You stay here with him, if he wakes have him drink some of the tea on the fire, it should help to ease the pain."

As she turned to walk off Legolas quickly shouted after her, "Take my horse, Arod! He will get you there swiftly."

With that she rode off and Legolas turned back to his friend. He finished grinding the herbs and spread it over Gimli's wound then wrapped it. The he went to the fire and checked to make the sure the tea was still good.

"Now lad, don't look so down, it's only a scratch, it'll heal in no time."

Legolas spun around. "Oh! You're awake. Here," he poured some of the tea into a goblet. "Drink this, it will help you to recover your strength."

"In a dwarf Master Elf! We need not to recover strength. And with that he attempted to get up, and only toppled over.

Legolas couldn't help but laugh, he ran over and helped his friend back up. "Don't strain yourself, mellon nin! Here." He handed Gimli to goblet. Gimli took one sip and spat it out.

"You expect me to drink this horrid tea?" He looked and Legolas "You know what a dwarf needs to recover his strength? Molt beer! That's right!"

Legolas shook his head. "Just drink it and get it over with, or shall I pour it down you throat?" Gimli let out a defeated sigh and finished drinking the tea with a disgusted look on his face. "Good, now rest." Legolas took the goblet and set it down.

"Where's the lady?"

"She went for help"

"I don't need help"

"Yes you do, now go to sleep."

"No I don't."

"Alright, you don't, go to sleep."

"Fine." With that Gimli closed his eyes and was snoring within seconds.

Legolas looked out into the night, but could not see anything. "Please hurry." He whispered, he could sense his friends strength failing.

A/N: For all who don't know, "mellon nin" is elvish for "My friend."Sorry about no updates, I couldn't find time to write with school and all, I hope you like this chapter, it's kind of short because my sister is rushing me, but the next one will be long.
