Ok chapter 5 is here!

Chapter 5

The line Between Good and Evil

Forgive me Estel. Thought Legolas as he stood up and walked to the cell bars to face Saruman. He looked at him with disgust, and he hoped he was making the right choice.

Estel could only watch in horror as his friend walked toward Saruman. This wasn't like him. In fact nothing that he had done was like him. Legolas wouldn't usually tell Saruman anything under any conditions, but here he was about to tell him everything so a little girl could live.

He's not thinking clearly thought Estel he hasn't been ever since his last visit to Rivendell

Flash Back

Estel ran to his friend's side. Elrond was changing Legolas's bandages, and paid little attention to Estel.

"Legolas" he said but there was no answer. He was out cold because of his wounds and it would be a couple more days till he woke up.

Estel sat down in his usual chair and watch his friend toss and turn in his sleep.

Estel had found Legolas only a few days ago here in Elrond's care after he had arrived from his trip. He didn't know what happened to Legolas and he intended to find out when he woke up.

Legolas had finally waken up but he seemed to still be in a dream. No one could touch him because he would start to attack them, for no reason. He refused to tell anyone what had happened. Not even Elrond or Gandalf knew the whole story.

Estel tried his best to comfort his friend but he just pushed him away. He pushed everyone away. He hardly ate, drank, or slept. But when sleep did over come him he was shortly woken up by ether Gandalf or Estel because he was screaming.

End Flash Back

He acted so different after that. Thought Estel first treating his friends as enemies and now telling Saruman everything so easily! He didn't understand it.

He looked at his friend; yes even after all of this he still thought of Legolas as a friend, he was now standing in front of Saruman. Estel knew he had to do something to stop him but all that was running through his mind was; what happened here?

Legolas stood there for what seemed like an eternity. He was still trying to convince himself he was making the right decision.

He took a jagged breath and looked to the floor and began.

"We…" he paused still trying to tell himself he was doing the right thing. "We were…"

"No!" shouted Estel coming out from his daze "you can't!"

Legolas looked back at him with the most terrifying face he had ever seen on him. "Stay out of this Estel!" he spat and turned back to Saruman.

Estel had a mind to complain but he just sat there dumbfounded looking at his friend. This wasn't the Legolas he knew. He was starting to believe it wasn't Legolas at all.

Legolas once again tried to continue when he was interrupted by the sound of metal of stone.

He, and everyone else, looked to the source of the sound just in time to see the girls head roll off her shoulders.

"No!" shouted Saruman and looked at the lone orc who still held the blade where his stroke had fallen. Saruman eyes filled with anger. "Take him away!" he ordered the other orcs and they dragged him across the floor, blade still in hand.

The orc looked into the cell and met eyes with Estel. Estel noticed the sadness and regret in his. One other thing that astonished him was the fact that his eyes shone a brilliant green, and he could have sworn that they were yellow before.

"No" whispered Legolas to himself. His eyes were locked on the girl's head, even when Saruman went and picked it up off the floor.

Saruman held the head to the bars in front of Legolas and said "Her death is on your hands Elf." He threw the head on the floor by Legolas's feet, and walked off up the stairs.

Legolas's eyes were still on the girls head and he took a step back. He kept whispering "no" over and over again. His knees finally gave in and he fell to the floor. "No!" he screamed tears running down his face and his hands grabbing his long golden hair as if ready to pull it out.

Estel went to go comfort his friend but couldn't help looking at the girl's head one more time as he walked to his friend on the floor. This isn't like him he thought Legolas wouldn't break down so easily he had too much pride.

He studied the girls face and couldn't help but notice the small smile that lay on her now cold lips.
