This is the last chapter. It's short but the story was only meant to last four chapters but it turned out six in the end. Well, I hope you liked the ending to this story, because I certainly don't. Please tell me what you think of this piece of dismal writing: I am so ashamed…
Chapter 6
Legolas woke sometime later in a daze, his head ached considerably and his body even more. He was lying on a bed, sheets wrapped around him and bandages covering his wounds. Sitting in a chair next to him was Aragorn, fast asleep, his head drooping onto his chest. Legolas smiled. He couldn't really remember what had happened, save for Orcs and lots of them.
The door to his room opened and in walked the twins. Elladan's eyes brightened when he saw Legolas awake. He shook Aragorn by the shoulder who immediately woke.
Aragorn turned silver eyes on Legolas. "You're awake!"
"And so are you!" Legolas retorted.
"Do you know how long you've been unconscious for?"
"No."
"Nearly a week."
"A week! How, what, why?"
Aragorn shrugged. "You got hit on the head rather badly. I suppose you were lucky to survive."
"How did we get out of the cave?" Legolas asked. "All I remember is Orcs."
Aragorn chuckled. "After you fell, I picked you up and fled. Elladan and Elrohir covered me. The Orcs tried to start another rockslide but we cleared it before they could trap us. They have now got to dig themselves out."
"And I was unconscious?"
"The whole time. Ada was angry you'd got yourself in a mess with Orcs but he's patched you up."
"And what about you? Were you hurt at all?" Legolas asked.
Aragorn shook his head. "No, fortunately. If I had been, Ada would've been really mad."
A few days later Legolas was declared healed. When Aragorn proposed they go on another hunting trip, the elf declined.
"I've only just healed from the last one. Do you really think I'm going to get myself in that mess again?"
"Probably not."
Legolas watched from the gates as Aragorn and the twins rode into the wilds with their hunting gear. The next time, Legolas promised himself, he'd go, but he just didn't feel like it.
And anyway who could blame him? After all he had just survived from a nasty encounter with Orcs. He shrugged, turned back to the house, and went to practice his archery.
THE END
Well, there you go. The end. Sorry its been so late in coming but I've been working on my Harry Potter story. This LOTR is my last one for a while as I'm currently writing a series of Harry Potter stories so I'll be in that universe for a while. If anyone likes to read Harry Potter then give it a go, you might like my stories!
Lastly, a big thank you to all those who've read and reviewed.
And big THANKS go to CELEBDIL-GALAD AND TINLAURE for entertaining me to no end with their amazing stories. I urge anyone who hasn't checked their stories out, should: they are brilliant authors!
Whether I write another LOTR story I don't know: it won't be until next year at the least.
Thanks
