Summary: Legolas gets an assignment
Some
were born to lead. Some lived for death and tragedy. Some for life.
Me,
well, I don't know yet. Right now it seems I'm living strongly
by the will of
Nakma. It's been about four weeks since I saw the
sunset. No one has come to
kill all these beasts. Today was
different. Muzzag opened our(Rachel and
I)door, grabbed me, and
led me to Arathorn III.
"Ah, Legolas!"
Nakma said, obviously in a good mood. I lowered my head. "Are
you
not happy to see me?" I did not reply, nor lift my head.
"I have a job for
you." I looked up.
"What?
Where?" I inquired.
"I have three answers."he said.
"Rivendell. Murder. Glorfindel."
My eyes widened.
"You
leave in the morn. Take him back!"
Back in my
cell, the next morning, two arc guards were putting on my armor
for
me. They gave me my two white knives, my bow and arrows, and a
long sword
strapped to my hip.
"GO!" was my only
command.
NORMAL POV
"Legolas!" Rachel yelled. Legolas
turned around and walked to their cell.
"Look, if I don't
come back I-"
She kisses him.
"Come
back."
LEGOLAS POV
I landed on the hill
overlooking Rivendell. My target was in sight. Suddenly
an arrow
flew over my head and hit t ground.
"Good shot 'Dan!"
Aragorn
and Elladan. I pulled out my bow and sat up on by knees. I sighed
and
put it down. Suddenly I lept up and ripped my sword from it's
scabbard. Some
were born to kill. Glorfindel was walking down the
with a sword out. It's now
or never. I sprinted towards
him.
Muzzag was talking to Nakma.
"Do you
expect him to return?" Muzzag asked.
"No."Nakma
said."Glorfindel will kill him. I faced him before I
captured
Legolas. Or was it after? Not important."
"You're
lying!" Rachel yelled from her cell.
"Shut up, you human
scum!"Muzzag yelled."Dotard! He'll be back! You'll
see!"
"Be quiet!"
"Make me!"
"That's
it!" Muzzag said, opening her door. She screamed as he pulled
her out
and threw against the wall. "You'll have respect for
me one way or another."
He threw her to the wall behind
Nakma. He casually moved aside and sipped his
drink. Muzzag bent
her arm back and pulled her head back by her hair.
LEGOLAS/ NAKIDO POV
Nakido spoke: He's going to cut your legs off,
jump! I jumped. Glorfindel's
sword swung below me. With one hand I
gripped the sword the sword and pulled
out one of my mini-knives
and threw it at another elf walking down the hall.
The fell to
back with a knife in his forehead. I spun around.
I spoke: What
now!
Nakido spoke: Slash off his arm at the shoulder, slice at
his thigh, and go for
the killing blow.
I brought my sword down
to his shoulder. He leaned out of the way and punched
my. I spun
kicked the sword out of his hand.
Nakido spoke: Get him on the
ground!
I sheathed my sword and he tried to kick me. I grabbed his
leg, flipped it up,
and he fell to the ground. I pulled out my one
remaining knife and raised it
above my head.
NORMAL
POV
Rachel hit the ground hard. Nakma sat down in front of
her.
"What makes you weak?" he asked.
"Wha-
Why?" Rachel asked.
"You're beautiful."
"What!"
"You
are beautiful."
His gloved hand ran across her cheek and she
shivered. His breathing seemed to
stop for a moment, then,
snapping back to reality, he said, "A drink?" He took
a
cup from the hand of one of his human soldiers. She took it from him
and
sipped from it. "Drink deep." he said in elvish.
When she was done, she
laughed. A hearty, drugged laugh. Nakma
pulled her close to him and kissed her.
"The
tables are turned," Glorfindel said, holding Nakido down by the
wrists.
"I'm gonna watch you die." In one swift
movement, Nakido forced his the hand
that held a knife up and out
from under the Balrog-slayer's hand. He fell back
his hand
tightening in pain over the knife that was now in his stomach.
Nakido
stood up. He looked up and met eyes with Arwen. In the
distance, Aragorn
laughed. For a moment, it looked like Legolas
was going to say something, but
instead, he took off down the
hall, grabbing the knife in the first elf's
forehead. He turned
around to see Glorfindel's writhing body and collided withAragorn and
fell back. With wide eyes he scrambled back(A.N.- Just like Frodo
on
Weathertop in FOTR). He stood up and sprint off, up the hill he had
came
down. As he attempted to pick up his bow he left on the
ground, he fell.
The first thing Rachel thought was,
"Where the blazes are my clothes?" She
tried to move and
found that her arms and legs were restrained. "She tried
to
break free. "Nakma! Help!"
"You have
awoken..." Nakma said from the corner of the room.
"You
drugged me!" she yelled.
"Yes, your point. Best sleep
I've had in a while. Those teenage girls from
Edoras have no sense
of sensual activity." He shook his head regretfully.
"Let
me go back to my cell!"
"And to your cell you must go!
That's where you'll find your clothes."
The bonds were gone.
"Go." he said.
Legolas hit the ground in
anger. He lowered his head to the ground and laughed
softly.
"With
a sigh," he began to sing. "You turn away.." His tears
hit the soft
grass."With a deepening heart-" He
stopped.
"You forgot, didn't you?" said a soft
voice.
"Mal!" he said, rolling over on his back and
sitting up. It was Malhalwen, who
Nakma had beheaded on their
first encounter.
"I thought I taught you that song."
"I
wish I could hold you closer..." he said.
"So you do
remember." she said. He stood up and walked towards her.
"I
miss you so, melethnin." he moaned.
"As do
I..."
"Mal..."
They leaned forward and- she
vanished in white sparkles.
He fell to his knees.
"She
hasn't spoken since she woke up." Muzzag, Nakma's
right-hand-man, said to
Nakma who was sipping from the same drink
as he was the night before. "Nakido
has not returned. Should
I send a scout?"
Nakma shook his head and remained silent.
Suddenly, Muzzag gasped as three
arrows poked out of his stomach.
Nakma leisurely stepped back.
"I have had enough of you!"
Legolas roared as his knife whisked through the
almost dead orc's
neck. Muzzag fell to the ground and his head rolled.
Legolas
dropped the sword, notched an arrow on the bow, and put it to
Nakma's
head.
"You can let go." Nakma said. "But
you can't. I know."
Legolas moaned and sighed. "You're
right."
