See? I updated quicker right? I wrote this during some free time I had when
I went to camp with my class for three days. I'm typing it up now, before I
go see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Yay! I can't wait!
Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR in any way, shape, or form. If I did, I would be rich, and would have gone to the Harry Potter premiere, and would be able to post this fanfiction as another book, so I guess I don't own it.

Chapter 5: Footsteps
As Legolas and Estel walked, footsteps approached. About fifteen footsteps to be exact. Fifteen Orcs followed the two boys, dodging between trees knowing the two were fast and would run if they were seen.
Legolas soon noticed a large pounding in his head. He felt a large bump on his head. In his haste to escape and find the young human he hadn't noticed it. He stopped a second as a wave of dizziness passed, but quickly caught up to Estel.
The Orcs dodged the boy's glances. They must really be tired if they don't notice us," a bunch of Orcs thought.
Indeed the boys were tired. They had run a lot to find their shelter, which had promptly been destroyed. Legolas's head was pounding and he couldn't focus on the sounds in the forest. Estel was solely trying to think of ways to make his headache go away, and was getting annoyed at the blood running down his arm.
The Orcs smirked, planning their attack. After half an hour of walking, they striked.
The two boys were caught by surprise. There was no time for Legolas to draw his bow as the Orcs were so close, and had to rely on hand-to-hand combat.
There were fifteen Orcs in all; not a large number but for two boys caught unaware and not ready for an attack it was deadly.
They got over the shock quickly though, and as they fought the number of Orcs decreased. They had to few injuries to worry about it and were down to four Orcs. Estel stuck his sword deep into one of the Orcs throats and battled another one. He didn't know the other Orc was still alive.
The Orc, using its remaining strength threw its sword. It sliced through the air, past an Orcs head, and hit its target. The metal ripped through the skin and a shriek of pain was heard throughout the forest. He fell to the ground, blood falling steadily down his arm, and gave in to darkness.
Estel stuck his sword in his last Orc and heard a shriek. He looked around wildly and watched Legolas fall to the ground with a blood stained sword landing next to him. The last remaining Orc stood over him, raising his sword to bring it down for the final blow. The elf stirred and looked up at the Orc. His breath left him as the Orc swung the sword down.
It stopped. The Orc stared off into the distance as if it saw something, but suddenly fell down dead. Legolas looked at Estel. Legolas's eyes widened as he realized what had happened.
Estel had saved him.
A human. A human had saved an elf from being killed by an Orc. Legolas couldn't believe it.
He noticed Estel staring at his arm. He took a deep breath and slowly looked down. Where his arm would normally be was a mass of red. Luckily the sword hadn't struck any major organs or muscles, and his arm wasn't broken. The wound was deep though, and there was a lot of blood. Legolas had never seen so much of his own blood before.
"We must be going. More Orcs will follow these," Estel said quietly.
Legolas nodded and stood. He was overcome with dizziness and would have fallen if Estel had not caught him by his uninjured shoulder.
"I could bandage it. I have a lot of skill with healing and I-"
"You're a simple edan! So you killed an Orc big deal! Just because you saved my life you think I'm going to talk to you and be your friend?" Legolas almost shouted. He looked at Estel then turned away. Estel turned in the opposite direction and quickly walked off, in the direction of the Orcs.
......................
A/N: Wonderful, wasn't that chapter great? No I'll write more. That would be cruel not to.
......................................
Legolas walked through the forest, angrily pushing tree branches out of the way as he walked. Muttering stuff like "Stupid edan," or "Friends." As he walked, he began to wonder what would happen. He had no idea where he was, and even if he found Elladan and Elrohir what would he say? That he had insulted their brother when he was trying to help and had left him out there alone?
The thought of saying that made him shudder. When he thought of it that way it sounded terrible. He had really left Estel out there alone in a wood full of Orcs and other creatures.
'I'm so stupid!'
Legolas stopped and sighed as a raindrop fell on his head, soon followed by more. The gentle drops fell on him and around him, and he took a deep breath and turned around, intending to go find Estel.
'I shouldn't have left him out there. It's not fair. He could get killed. He was only trying to help,' Legolas thought as he walked through the rain, his arm throbbing painfully.
Suddenly he heard something; a loud yell of pain. It sounded like Estel. Legolas's eyes opened wide and he ran as fast as he could toward the boy's voice.

Sorry, kina short but needed a good cliffhanger. I also didn't update this as fast as I would have.
Review responses:
Astievia: Shudders Why do you threaten me so?
Shadowfaxgal7: The twins will be back. How about...next chapter will be about the twins and what their doing? How's that. Actually I like that idea. I'll even leave a preview. Yes, the rabbit is okay. It hopped off, really. I couldn't kill a rabbit. They're so cute!
Inu lover: Thanks. Good because this chapter is pretty short too, but the next one will be longer. Shadowfaxgal7 inspired my next chapter.
Kept-Secret: Not really. Thanks. Well now you know, and here's the update.
Sparkzi: Sure. Sorry. That sounds like a good idea though. But no, the Orcs set a trap to kill them both. Don't feel bad I misunderstand stuff often.
Chantal J: Thank you.
Elven Kitten: Thanks. I know sorry. Here's an update to make you feel better.
Preview:
Elrohir looked at the fallen Orcs and then to the face of his brother. He limped to Elladan and stared into his face.
"Elladan please! You can't be dead!"
He didn't move. Elrohir closed his eyes and clutched his leg. The pain that ran through it was terrible. He was sitting in a pool of his own blood, mixed in with some of his brothers. Elladan stirred as tears came to Elrohir's eyes.
Elrohir tried to move but was too exhausted. He heard a loud shriek of pain as he fell to the ground and his mind registered one thought. "Estel."
With that he slumped forward into the mud next to his twin.
