A/N: I'm soooooooo sorry! I'll get right to the story now, because I didn't update for so long. Please forgive me I have a lot going on.

Legolas: Sure you did.

Aragorn: *smirks*

Me: I did! I had play rehearsal, and homework, and-

Legolas: Oh spare us and get on with the chapter.

Me: You're the one who interrupted me!

Aragorn: Viresse0 doesn't own LOTR.

Chapter 10: Deaths Door

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was no time for a reaction. Before anything could be done, a swarm of Orcs came spilling out from around trees.

There were five hundred strong. How they managed to sneak up on the fellowship was unknown, but it had happened, and now they had a fight to win.

Frodo, Merry, and Sam drew their swords and stood near Gandalf and Pippin. Pippin lay on the ground, Merry on one side of him, Gandalf fighting and watching over him from the other side.

Aragorn had gently put Legolas on the ground and stood over him, fighting the Orcs that dare came near him.

Gimli went here and there, trying to thin the amount of Orcs in areas where they were heaviest, but more just kept coming.

But it seemed the fellowship was gaining the upper hand. The amount of Orcs began to grow less. This did not make the figure in the bushes happy.

"You shall not win," the things horse voice called out, loud enough for every creature near him to hear it.

The Orcs stopped for a moment, and the fellowship stopped too. It was as if the voice had commanded them to stop moving. They heard the voice once more. "ATTACK!"

Before the members of the fellowship who were fighting could move, the Orcs were attacking again. One mercilously threw Gimli against a tree and began approaching.

Sam saw this and ran forward, slashing the Orc. He watched in surprise as its body fell to the ground dead. "I didn't expect I'd actually kill it..."

As the battle raged on, the members of the fellowship grew tired. The population of Orcs still wasn't slowing down.

Beads of sweat glistened on Aragorn's face as he stood over Legolas fighting. Three Orcs advanced on him at once, and he found himself trapped. One Orc aimed for his head, another for his leg, and another for his arm. He couldn't stop all three. He tried to block, but the Orc sank its blade deep into Aragorn's leg. Aragorn let out a shriek of pain, before killing the Orc.

His crimson blood poured freely down his leg. He amazingly kept fighting. He fought on for 15 minutes until he began to feel dizzy. He struck his sword at an Orc but missed, and the Orc, please by this, managed a large scrape on Aragorn's arm.

Aragorn couldn't fight anymore, he knew it. He plunged his sword into the Orc before collapsing.

As a new Orc stood over Aragorn, sword poised to kill, there was the sound of hoofs. Suddenly, Elrohir and Elladan appeared.

They dived into the fro and killed the Orc standing over Aragorn. There was about one hundred Orcs left. Soon the fight was over...they had won.

Merry collapsed next to Gimli breath heavily. He leaned against the tree, to tired to move anymore.

Elladan ran to Aragorn, while Elrohir quickly went to Legolas.

"Aragorn!"

"Legolas...he's fading...he's been poisoned! He's at deaths door!" Elrohir shouted in alarm.

The two brothers mounted their steeds and accepted Legolas and Aragorn from Gandalf.

"We will take them to Rivendell. They are wounded most terribly, and are near death. Follow us on foot. Rivendell is only about five miles. We must ride!" Elladan said this quickly, and the two were off.

"We must make haste! These two are hurt so badly, and Legolas...he has almost faded. If we don't get him to father soon he'll be doomed to wander middle earth for eternity!" Elrohir looked down at his friend. "I couldn't bear that."

_______________________

Legolas was in pain. The pain was so terrible. But it would all be gone soon, for the light was so close now. Soon his spirit would leave his body.

He heard someone shout his name, but the light was so close. He wanted to see what was beyond the door. He was so close now.

For some reason he stopped when he reached it, thinking of Aragorn. He felt like Aragorn was in danger...but he didn't know why.

He decided he should look, then he could find out what was beyond that light, beyond the pain.

He flickered his eyes open. At first all he could see was a horse. A horse? He could feel someone holding him tightly. As his vision returned, Legolas looked up and saw Elrohir.

He was surprised of course, but he could feel darkness calling him, and it was hard to resist. He managed to look to his side and saw Elladan riding with Estel, who looked wounded.

Legolas couldn't resist the darkness anymore, and it took him once more.

____________________________

Elrond was pacing his study. He was nervous. What if they were hurt badly? Or worse? What if one of them was-

'No, don't think such things. Thinking such things can lead to such things happening.'

____________________________

Elladan and Elrohir were riding hard and fast. Soon, Rivendell came into view. They were there at last.
