A/N- Are the chapters getting better? longer? One thing, when I typed up the last chapter it was like 1:30 in the morning. The cause of WAY to much sugar and caffeine. The A/N was not meant to be offensive I was just really high on sugar. Okay, two things, I know Legolas wouldn't go down with just an arrow. I don't give anything away in answers. Sorry I wasn't clear about that. /thinking/ "talking" HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER! YAY!
Our hands were bound with coarse ropes and we were then pulled to our feet. One Orc stood behind each of us and pushed us forward. Orcs lead Legolas and me down a slippery winding staircase. It was darker in this tunnel than any where we had been in the fortress. Behind, Legolas was struggling down the steps. I couldn't fathom why Legolas went down in battle. He was much too strong for one arrow. Something was seriously wrong.
An Orc pushed me to the side, walked up to a door, and unlocked. As it squealed opened, dark orange light filled part of the stairway, then it was swallowed by darkness. The room behind the door was more of a grand hall. There were no windows, no furniture. There was only a small desk nudged into the corner with an uncomfortable looking chair and an empty oak bookcase. It was still dark within the hall despite the fact that there were torches burning in their sconces.
"Get up filth!" spat one creature at Legolas, who had fallen heavily to his knees. He was panting from the effort of descending the stairs. I was not much doing much better. My leg pained terribly so I leaned heavily against the wall. I stared in pain as the thing pulled Legolas up by his blonde hair to his feet. Again, his fair face twisted in pain as he fell back against the wall. /Stop! Please just stop! We've already been through enough pain/
"Bring the Halflings." shouted our tormentor. In the faint light, I could see the man clearly. He wore black Elvish robes. He had black eyes and a long, hollow face. He had slender, long fingers that made his hand stretched. Another door opened farther down. Two more Orcs entered with two Halflings. It wasn't until the creatures got closer that I realized who the struggling forms were. It was Merry and Pippin.
A/N- Sooooo? Did ya like it? I worked really hard on it and I am already working on Chapter 6. Please leave nice reviews…OO! Can you leave suggestions for a new title…I hate the one I made up. Thanks! Navaer!
