Chapter 4- alive but not well....and a rescue party.

The first thing Gimli felt was his entire body pounded with each heartbeat. He squeezed his eyes shut and sat up very slowly. He wasn't that hurt, which was a good thing. Gimli looked around and sighed.

He was blocked by rocks on every side. He saw a tiny crack where a bit of sunlight came through. Gimli stood up, almost falling over again. His ankle was bent the bone sticking out and he winced at the sight and the pain. It was broken. He carefully sat down and sighed. Then he remembered.

"Legolas?! Elf, can you hear me?"

He had forgotten about his companion until just now. He called again and again but got no answer. He hoped that the elf was just knocked out....not dead.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Pain.

Everywhere.

Legolas just about yelled out. He opened his eyes and wondered if he still had them closed. It was totally dark and Legolas unconsiously whimpered. His entire body felt like someone had taken a hammer and beat him with it. Then stuck him in a fire.

Legolas carefully sat up and put out hands to feel his way. His hands found a long stick. with excitement Legolas realized it was a torch. He quickly set his mind to light it. After several tries it lit and Legolas looked around.

He was caved in, and Legolas had no idea how long either. He swallowed and blinked. He shown the light on his body to see what damage the rocks had caused. Blood was the first thing he could see. His tunic was ripped and ragged. His hand were dirty with dust and dried blood.

He gasped as the light went out. He trembled at the thought of being stuck in here. To his mind it resembled a tomb...a tomb for him. He thought of Aragorn and he swore he could hear Gimli's voice.

Legolas laid back and heard someone calling his name. Wait, he thought, that is Gimli!

"Gimli!?"

"Legolas..is that..you," came a voice from beyond the rocks.

"Gimli! Gimli!"

"Yes, elf it is me. Are you hurt?!..elf...Legolas?"

"Gimli! You're here..I thought it was in my head. Gimli..Gimli I can't see anything. Nothing! At all! Do you hear me noth-"

"LEGOLAS! Calm down, lad. I know."

Legolas breathed a sigh of relief. Then his eyes widened.

"Gimli?"

"...Yes?"

"We are doomed."

Gimli, on the other side, frowned.

"What? No Aragron will find us."

"Gimli."

"Yes."

"We still have to breath."

"I know that, Legolas. Ever-." Gimli stopped. He understood now what Legolas was talking about.

They were going to start losing oxygen to breath. They were going to lose it fast.

Aragorn rode ahead of a small group of men including Faramir. He had become worried when Legolas nor Gimli had returned after a few hours. He also felt worried when Arwen said she felt as if something wasn't right. Aragorn needed nothing else. He gathered a few soldiers and went off toward the cave Gimli was taking their elven friend to.

After another hour they had reached the cave and Aragorn wasted no time getting off his horse and runnign inside, Faramir right behind him. they went a good ways in the cave and stopped.

Rocks blocked them from going further. Aragorn stared at the rocks in panick. He just knew they were in there somewhere. He looked at Farmir and the other man nodded. Pretty soon everyone was digging and moving rocks. Aragorn knew that they only had a limited amount of time...before the worst took place.

PLEASE REVIEW! THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO!
