Angel of the Forest
Pairings: Legolas/ Lurtz, Possibly others in the near future, ideas welcome
Rating: Well, I'm leaning towards an R rating but it may go up
Warnings: OK ppl, if you didn't already read the pairings then I'm gonna warn you right now, this is an elf/orc pairing here so if this squicks you I suggest screaming at the top of your lungs and running as far away as possible. But for all those Leggy fans out there, ya might want to just stick around and see what happens, who knows, you might like it.
And beware the bad grammar, I try, but honestly, how can I remember what the heck a semicolon is let alone know where to put it.
No non-con, torture, BDSM, ect
AU, OOC
Disclaimer: Oh, Puh-Leeeze. Is this really necessary? I'm a broke ass high school student, there's no way that I own any of them………………..*weeps*
A/N: Despite reading all the LotR books, watching the movies and reading tons of fics I'm still kind of hopeless when it comes to remembering details so constructive criticism is welcome, flames will naturally be used to heat up my coffee in the mornings ^^ so don't even bother.
:: Elvish Language::
*Orcish Language*
Don't know much of Tolkiens languages so I'll just be writing in English ,unless the elves suddenly start speaking Spanish that is.

Life couldn't be better for Thranduil at that time. Even despite the constant threat of Sauron and his Orcs, and the ever present darkness that lurked on the border of the Woodland realm it was clear to everybody that the King was happy. His happiness gave the people reason the belief that all was well and so the Elves of Mirkwood went about their lives as they had for centuries, not the slightest bit aware of the tragedy that was about to befall them.
*****************
"Ada", cried the 6 year old Legolas, crouched down on the ground examining a beetle cupped in his hands. "Come here! You gotta see this!"
Thranduil, who was busy reading a rather large book from under the shade of a tree looked up, giving his son an indulgent smile he glanced over to see what all the fuss was about and nearly laughed out loud. The elfling was struggling to reach up his sleeve trying to keep the beetle he was holding from getting lost in his clothes. "Get that out of your shirt, Legolas. I'm sure it's in a great hurry to get somewhere, you wouldn't want to put it off track, would you?" he looked towards the sky, surprised at how late it was, the sun was just beginning to sink below the horizon. "Besides, it's getting late. Knowing your brothers they'll be sending out a search party if were not back by sunset."
"But I don't wanna go yet?"
"It's getting late, Legolas." Said Thranduil, putting down the book and stretching out his aching back. 'I must remember to bring a pillow next time'
"Ada, can't we stay just a little longer. I promise I'll go to bed without crying if we can."
The king gave his son an amused smile. "Really?"
"Uh huh," the little prince promised, nodding his head and flashing Thranduil a big I'm-Being- Cute-So-I-Can-Get-My-Own-Way smile. "I promise."
"Fine. 20 more minutes." He said, picking up his book again and burying his nose in it again, unaware that he had unknowingly sealed his sons fate.
*******************
15 minutes later…..
Something seemed strange about the forest quite suddenly. Whether it was that the birds had stopped chirping or that the trees were creaking as if in warning Thranduil never knew, all that he could think of in that instant was that Legolas was nowhere to be seen.
He had just been playing there a minute ago……..hadn't he?
That was reason enough for Thranduil to start panicking under even the best circumstances, there were so many ways a child could be hurt in a forest like this. But if Legolas had wandered off towards the border. Thranduil didn't even want to think of what could happen if he had.
Orcs had been patrolling their lately. No, not just Orcs but Uruk-Kai as well. The elves had been fighting them off but he knew they were close by, they had been growing bolder as of late and were coming deeper and deeper into the forest with every passing week. He had been growing so careless and arrogant in letting them venture so deep into his realm, but he had been so confidant that they could never do any real harm to him or his people……
Oh, why had he brought Legolas out here? What had possessed him to do something so foolish?
But there was no time to think of that now, he needed to find his son.
"Legolas!!" Thranduil called out, running to his horse who had been calmly grazing just minutes before but now looked tense and wary, furthering Thranduil's already growing suspicion that Orcs may be near by.
"Minta", he said to the horse, jumping onto her back. ::Find my son! Swiftly!::
The horse didn't need to be told twice, she could sense something was wrong by the scents in the air and how Thranduil was acting and so she flew off into the forest with Thranduil frantically calling his sons name into the empty forest.
********************
Legolas knew he would be in trouble when his father found him. He had told him many times that the forest was dangerous and he was to never ever go wandering off alone but a child's curiosity is insatiable and so he went anyways, determined to find out what was so dangerous about the forest.
It didn't take very long for him to become distracted when he came across a part of the forest that he had never seen before. It was hidden behind a tangle of bushes, a small clearing filled with bright blue flowers [1], he was positive that he was the first to have discovered this place. Their were no signs that anyone had ever set foot here before.
Laughing with joy at this incredible discovery, Legolas ran to the middle of the clearing and sat down where he took off his white cloak and carefully placed it on the ground, intent on examining this new kind of flower and taking some back home with him.
He was there for only a short while before he felt a strange prickling on the back of his neck and realized he was being watched. Very slowly he turned around, fully expecting to be yelled at by his father, but instead he found himself staring at the strangest looking creature he had ever seen in his whole life.
It was really, really big, even bigger than his father and it had dirty black hair and even dirtier brown skin (A/N: Ok ok, my Uruk-Kai look slightly different from the movie's version but I'm going for the idea that they would still resemble Elves in some way or another instead of being big bluish-looking monsters with crazy punched in noses ^^ Sorry, but I like my way better) and he was dressed in some sort of thick armor that the Elfling had never seen before which was as dirty as the rest of him.
Legolas had never heard of or seen and Uruk-Kai, or even an Orc before, his father had made sure that he would never so he wasn't scared
"Hello." Legolas said politely. "Um….you can't be here, this is my place."
Lurtz just stood there watching this strange little creature. Oh, he knew it was a Elf, but he had never seen an Elfling before, it was rather charming sitting there among the flowers with the setting sun sending beams of light down on it's shiny golden hair. And the fact that this tiny thing was telling him that he couldn't be here was rather amusing.
Legolas, meanwhile, was wondering if perhaps the creature couldn't understand him. It was just……standing there.
Maybe it wanted to play, or maybe it was lonely and wanted to be his friend, his Ada had always told him to be nice to people so Legolas took it upon himself to make the first move. Plucking a few of those pretty blue flowers he trotted up to Lurtz and held them up to him.
"Here." Lurtz looked down incredulously at the flowers that Legolas was offering to him but didn't make any move to take them. "M-my names Legolas. What's yours?"
"Lurtz," He said shortly, humoring the little Elf until he could decide what to do with it. It obviously wasn't scared of him or it would have ran, so maybe it didn't know what he was. The possibilities were endless, but one stuck out rather boldly from the rest. He could take this little creature for himself, like a pet. The idea was very appealing, after all, why shouldn't the leader of the Uruk-Kai [2] have something to distinguish him from all the rest, a pet Elf would do nicely.
Mind made up he picked up the nearly weightless elfling who was in the middle of telling him what a weird name Lurtz was.
"Hey, put me down! I'm not a baby!" Legolas protested furiously.
"Tell me Elf, what is your name?"
"It's Legolas", he said, momentarily forgetting that he was supposed to be angry about being picked up.
"Well, Legolas, your going to be living with me from now on. Your, uh, father wanted me to teach you how to be a warrior," he said, relieved that he had been able to find a somewhat believable excuse for taking him away. Normaly he wouldn't have bothered, but the last thing he wanted right now was a crying elfling on his hands.
Legolas's blue eye's lit up with excitement. "A real warrior. Like Ada!" Lurtz nodded his head slowly. "Alright! Let's go!"
And so Legolas was lost to the Elves…….
A/N: Sorry if I messed to many things up but this is my first time writing LotR Fanfics
TBC…
[1] You know those bluebell kinda flowers, the ones shaped like a candy cane with the bell shaped flowers on them
[2] I'm not sure if Lurtz really is leader of the Uruk-Kai, but let's just say that he is
