Reviews

Deana- I hope this is considered soon. It probably won't take me as long to post the next chapter.

Arithon- I'm glad you liked the battle scene, and it was easy to picture what was going on. I hope you like this chapter too.

Happyface 72- lol your name reminds me of my brother because he has this chart that tells if he has been good. He gets a happy face if he is good and a sad face if he is bad. If he has 5 happy faces he gets something he wants, like a toy. Strange reason, I know, oh well. Ok so don't worry you will know what Aragorn is up to, I promise.

Slayer3- yessssssss……. we shall kill the orcsessssss preciousss……. Yesss we shall…. nasty filthy Orcsesss….. They must die….. They must all die, yes my preciousssss….. LOL

Chapter 3

Bad News

By: Sapphire Orb

"We have been hunting all day and still haven't caught a thing!" complained Gimli as they walked through the forest.

"Well if you were a bit quieter we might be able to find something." Aragorn retorted.

"What's that supposed…" Gimli stopped mid sentence when Aragorn signaled him to stop talking. He had a worried look on his face and Gimli know he should listen.

"Orcs," said Aragorn looking around "there a way off though, heading that way." He pointed in the direction.

"So? There not after us apparently," said Gimli. "Besides we can't take them if it's a large group." He wanted to kill the orcs for staying in the area but even he knew it would be a suicide attack.

"Your right about one thing, two people can't take them alone," said Aragorn looking at him "but who is hunting over there?" Aragorn pointed in the direction again, it was exactly opposite of where they were headed, and he know that was a bad thing.

Gimli finally realized what he was talking about. Éomer and Legolas were over in that direction hunting. If the orcs found them they would both be killed. There was no way they could win with just two of them.

Aragorn and Gimli ran at full speed toward the orcs. They hoped they weren't too late, hoped there friends were still ok.

Aragorn suddenly stopped. "What is it?" asked Gimli catching his breath.

Aragorn listened intently "I think some broke off of the large group." He said. He suddenly got a scarred look on his face "there headed this way!"

"How long till they get here?" asked Gimli?

"Not very long," He admitted "but it's not a big group we may be able to take them."

"Well then let them come!" said Gimli raising his ax. Aragorn unsheathed his sword as the orcs appeared in the clearing.

Aragorn ran into the group cutting down two orcs at time. An orc to brought his sword down on him, he blocked just it time though and sent his sword trough the orc's stomach.

Gimli waited for the orcs to come to him. He brought his ax down the middle of one orcs skull, and then cut off another's head.

The battle went on, and soon most of the orcs were dead. One came up behind Aragorn, but Gimli sent his ax down his spine.

The battle was finally over; some orcs got away but most lay dead or dieing on the ground. Aragorn received a cut down his arm and Gimli's leg was bleeding from a large cut across it, but no major injuries.

Aragorn walked around the battle scene, stepping over the dead orcs. One orc, who was still holding on to his life, grabbed Aragorn's leg and stabbed a knife deep into his shin. Aragorn then stabbed him trough the back. Blood rushed out of the orcs mouth, "you had better luck then your friends" said the orc as death slowly over came him.

Aragorn knew what the orc had meant, his hope of finding his two fiends alive slowly seeped away. Gimli walked up to him, "we can't give up yet," He said "if they are dead they deserve a proper burial."

Aragorn let out a sigh and put his sword away. They both walked off in the direction the orcs had come.

Ok so enter Aragorn and Gimli. I hope all you people like it. And please don't forget to review!
