Authors Note: I have been on a cruise for the last week and a half, and im on a boat in the caribbean right now! If I don't post at least ONE chapter my friend WILL kill me, so here is the latest chapter of Warming Up Two Hearts, even though its short, its better than nothing. Right?
Ch. 5
The two girls were swept up in the action. as one orc went for Kat, the other went for Jem. Legolas and Aragorn swiftly ran to the girls aid, as their backs were towards the coming attack.
The two men acted on instinct, Aragorn ran forward and grabbed Jem out of harms way. Legolas reached towards Kat, grabbing her arm and rolling them both towards the ground away from the orc, and down a hill. Legolas hadn't intended to go down the hill but with the momentum of the fall, as well at their combined weight, they went shooting down the slope, Kat latched on to Legolas and so they went barreling down together.
Meanwhile on top of the hill Aragorn got to his feet and helped Jem up in the process. Jem brushed herself off and fixed her hair.
Where did Kat go? Jem inquired and Legolas as well. She looked around the clearing, not seeing them, she looked back towards Aragorn clearly puzzled.
Meanwhile:
Legolas slowly got off the ground groggily, he saw kat lying a few feet away from him in a heap on the ground.
Kat! He whispered while trying to rouse her from her unconscious state. It was no use, for some reason Kat would not wake. He walked to a stream nearby, cupping his hands he gathered some water and splashed it onto Kat's face.
EEEP!!! Kat screeched, shooting up from the ground and wiping her face. She hissed in pain as she felt the back of her head.
Oh god, what happened to me? Kat groaned falling to the ground.
Slow down, you probably hit your head on a rock while coming down the hill, here let me help you up. Legolas proceeded to help Kat off of the ground, when he let go she looked like she was going to fall so he steadied her.
Thank you, what happened? Kat asked, still oblivious to where she was.
Two orcs were coming up behind you while you were finishing the other orcs in that area off, Aragorn and I saw what was happening, so we were trying to..... Legolas trailed off looking sheepish save you? He finished unsure if he worded it correctly, well aware that he may have done more harm than good.
Oh, well then lets get back to the clearing, they must be looking for us Kat made her way back up the hill unsteadily, so Legolas had to help her part of the way.
Once Legolas and Kat got back to the top of a hill they were thrown into the middle of another battle.
I AM NOT A WITCH! Jem screamed, looking aggravated beyond belief. She glared pointedly at two small figures to her right. I just have certain capabilities that others don't have, your probably just jealous! She said haughtily to Pippin.
The two hobbits were laughing amongst themselves. They obviously thought this was a wonderful time. Aragorn could be seen in the background smiling to himself and watching the scene unfold.
Kat and Legolas looked skeptically towards Jem, as if waiting for an explanation. When none came, Kat prompted Jem.
What is going on? Kat asked exasperated.
Kat, they're calling me a witch be- Jem stopped to think about the situation. KAT! where did you come from, I had no idea where you were! Jem walked over to her friend, slightly worried by the fact she was wobbling, with Legolas keeping her held up by his arms around her. Here let me help you Jem said, taking Kat from Legolas and setting her down on a rock beside Aragorn. Kat looked at Jem with a look of sheer hatred. Thanks a lot! You have no idea how comfortable I was! Why did you have to come over and ? Grrrrrrrr. Kat was yelling at her friend telepathically, while Legolas and Aragorn explained the situation to Merry and Pippin.
So now you can see that we have a problem on our hands Aragorn finished his little speech with that cryptic note. Merry and Pippin looked towards the two girls now arguing on the rock.
If you could just be an innocent bystander once and a while..... Kat trailed off, noticing the four pairs of eyes drifting their way, she apparently hadn't noticing when telepathy arguing turned into shouting. then we could have world peace? She finished lamely, obviously not wanting to finish her sentence.
Where are we going? Jem asked. I mean, now that we have found your friends, what do we do?
Well first off we- Aragorn was cut off by a hoard of angry orcs.
They must have been scouting the area when we first arrived, and came back to find their friends dead. Legolas concluded while fighting two off.
Aragorn was about to reply when he looked over to where Merry and Pippin were being carted off. Aragorn un sheathed his blade attacking the orc holding Merry as the hobbit hit the ground Pippin landed with him.
There were only about five orcs to begin with, so the group finished them off quickly, but as they looked to their ranks to see if anyone was hurt, they noticed something. The hobbits were gone.
