TO SPEAK WITH ONE'S HANDS
Sign Language
"Come out of the water and don't try anything." One of the men ordered to the group in the water.
The hobbits looked at Legolas to take the lead but the elf seemed frozen to the spot. Seeing this Pippin tried to get the elf moving but failed at his attempt.
A small group of the Orcs, who were also with the group, laughed at the elf and started to taunt him in their language, which the elf seemed to understand.
Legolas glared at the orcs before moving to leave the water. As he moved he pulled Frodo towards him and patted the hobbits chest where the ring sat then spelt out the word hide with his hands before they were too close to the surrounding enemy.
When the small group reached the shore the Uruk-Hai grabbed each of the members of the group and tied there arms behind their backs. They were then all pushed into a jog, which for the hobbits was a run, till they came to an area about 200m from the lake where the fellowship had been camping.
There they were stopped and the men walked over to a group of horses that occupied the area. The hobbits were all lifted onto the Uruk-Hai's shoulders while a loop was placed over Legolas's head, around his neck, and the other end was attached to one of the horses.
The Uruk-Hai and Orcs took off at a run followed by the horses and Legolas. Legolas was forced to run after the horses at a speed that no human could keep up with. Each time he slowed the rope around his neck would cut off his air supply and choke him.
They ran for two hours till Legolas tripped over a rock that was in his path and he was dragged along the ground. He was ignored until he got in the way of the legs of the horses behind him, forcing the group to halt.
The leader turned his horse around and walked aback over to where Legolas had fallen. He got off the horse and kicked the fallen elf.
"UP!"
Legolas tried to stand but with his arms still tied behind his back it was impossible.
"UP!" The man repeated, kicking Legolas again.
"Leave him alone!" Pippin yelled at the man.
The man turned to the Hobbit and walked towards him. The Hobbits were dropped at the man's feet and they tried to crawl over to their companion but were pulled back by the Orcs.
"Why should I leave him alone? Why shouldn't I beat him and leave him here to die?"
"He never did anything to you!" Merry snapped at the man.
"Didn't do anything to me?" the man said, he then turned to his company, "Did you hear that boys? He didn't do anything to me," the man turned back to the hobbits, "Your right he didn't do anything to me but he is property of my Grandfather, your friend is a slave. He was my families slave for over 1000 years. Until, he escaped, 64 years ago, because of my Grandmother's incompetence. She paid for that mistake with her life. We have watched him since then waiting for him to take his guard down, which he never did. Until now." The man turned back to Legolas who had managed to get himself into a sitting position and was glaring at the man.
The man walked back over to Legolas and grabbed the elf's face.
"It was my father's life work trying to catch this elf and it was to be mine except I have caught him and I will present him to my Grandfather went we return home. But this time he won't escape."
