The moon shone down on the small group as the fire died down. It was a starry night, no clouds, full moon. "Beautiful," Arethen said as she turned to face the night sky. She woke up about an hour ago, she could not sleep there was something bothering her telling her to be awake. That creepy feeling like something was watching her made her wake up instantly. She looked over at Legolas sleeping like a baby, cute. A twig snapped in the distance on the other side of her, behind his back.
He was sleeping as if he watched her as he fell asleep. "Yeah right," she thought to herself. She pulled out of her thoughts when saw yellow eyes a few feet away from him. She turn slow to grab her sword. Something was out there and she knew it. She got up and did a full circle trying to find a soul out there what she could have seen.
"Legolas, get up," she whispered in his ear after she walked over to him. He mumbled something, "Get. Up." She said in a stern voice again in his ear, clenching her teeth not to give any sign to the intruder that they were awake. His eyes fluttered open, "what?" he hissed has his crankiness showed as from being woken up.
"Something is out there, it was behind you from when I saw it," She hissed right back and then put a finger over his mouth for him to be quiet. She grabbed his bow and on of his arrows put it against the string, and let it shot in the direction just behind him. There was a sound of a whistle of the arrow going through the air, and then and orc grunting in pain.
Legolas's eyes grew big, his sense were finally kicking in and he could tell there were at least 20 orcs out there, 19 just after the one she killed, they had to get out of here and fast.
"Hurry, get the horses I gather the blankets, go quietly as possible," he whispered in her ear. Not five second later she shot off to gather the horses that were tied to a rock just on the other side of them. She brought them over as he put the blankets in place, and jump on the horse.
"Keep up don't turn back, and don't take off, stay with me I don't want you getting lose here, especially at night and with those things out there," He said as he mounted his horse and galloped off. She followed her stallion keeping up easily. She pulled out her bow and a couple of arrow and turned around in her saddle. She trusted her horse, she raised him and she had pulled many tricks while on him just to make her mother and father mad. She had placed the arrows tail against the sting pulled back and shot, hear the familiar sound of and arrow whistling through the air until yet another grunt came out. She finished off the arrows she had pulled out and then turned back around, to see an elf looking at her surprisingly. She smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling in the moonlight, Legolas could tell she wanted to go faster but she was not going to complain, she seemed content with what speed they were at now riding right next to each other right now. He took on of his hands off the reins of his horse and put it over her left hand. She looked up at him and smiled they held hands as they rode through the night.
--------------Near dawn--------------
They sky was beginning to turn a light purple as they reach a lake to let the horse take a rest. They finally let go of the others hands as they dismount and lightly tugged on the reins of their horse and led them to a spot were they could drink. They stayed there till they watch the sky in the east turn from dark blue, to light purple then a lighter blue and slowly orange and red. They found some food by the lake and ate some nuts that Arethen had found yesterday.
Arethen slowly drifted asleep on the ground while watching the sun rise, and Legolas noticed this but he deiced the he could let her sleep a little.
Slowly, as he watched her again, he began to drift off to sleep just as the sun pecked over the lake.
