Thanks reviewers. I love getting feedback. To Imzadi, just because you're so worried about Boromir, I'll have him still be alive. I agree he's a great character, kinda cute too. So onto the story...
Faith walked next to Gunn, but kept a close eye on Legolas. She was glad that Angel hadn't told them that she was a slayer. "So who are you guys?" she asked them.
"I am Legolas, son of Thranduil, Lord of the Elves of Mirkwood."
"I am Gimli, son of Gloin."
"I'm Frodo Baggins, that's Samwise Gamgee, over there is Meriadoc Brandybuck, or Merry, and the one at the end is Peregin Took, but we call him Pippin. We're hobbits from the Shire."
"Hey man, what's with the ring?" Gunn asked as he pointed to the gold band on the chain around Frodo's neck.
Almost instantly, Frodo grasped the ring to his chest. Then before Gunn knew what was happening, he was thrown to the ground and Legolas was pressing a knife to his throat. "You shall not touch the ring. That's Frodo burden to carry, only he possesses that power."
"Let him go blondie." Faith commanded from behind him. Legolas didn't budge, but the dwarf moved forward proudly.
"And what are you going to do about it fair lass?" he chuckled.
"This!" Faith swiftly kicked Legolas' feet from beneath him. He landed with a thud on the ground. Faith grabbed the knife right out of his hand with inhuman speed and strength and pressed it to his throat instead. Legolas stared at her in amazement along with the rest of the group. "Angel's not the only special one. I'm not totally human either." She backed off. "I could've killed you, but I didn't. We're here to help." She flipped his knife to him and Legolas caught it with practiced ease.
Legolas watched the girl carefully. He never saw a woman with so much speed and strength.
"Damn girl!" Gunn rang out. "Nice attack. Uh... thanks for that."
"Yeah no problem Denzel." Faith tapped him on his shoulder and started to walk. Then out of nowhere a man came galloping up on his horse. Behind him another horse followed. "Hey Gunn. You know these guys?"
Gunn came running up beside her and jolted to a stop. He wasn't expecting to she who he saw. "Lindsey?" then he got closer and he could make out a girl behind him, "Fred?"
The man upon the horse jumped down and greeted Legolas. "I found these unusual people in the woods. They were lost, thought I could keep them away from the orcs."
"A las Boromir, they aren't the only ones." Legolas told him. They watched as Gunn helped the girl down and gave her a hug. Then the man jumped down and glared at them.
"Well, isn't this turning out to be a great day." Lindsey snarled in frustration.
