A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been on vacation and my sister just had twins. I tried updating last night, but before I was able to my computer deleted this chapter.

The barren plains of Mordor offered little in the aspects of hiding, and that was something the blonde prince of Mirkwood found out the hard way as he was forced to jump behind a large rock. He knew the pearls of this journey he had taken up, but little did he know just how much of a risk he was taking walking the plains of the enemy.

A large band of Orcs stopped just in front of the hiding place he had elected, and Legolas froze seeing the leader garbed in the familiar black cloak and robes he had hoped to never see again.

" You knew what the dead half-ling carried! I can see why the dark lord has grown impatient with this pathetic band, and sent me here to govern you." The cloaked figure snarled.

One Orc dared to step forewords towards the cloaked figure. " You aren't our Master." It snarled in the black tongue.

" Yes and I am thankfully aware of that, but in this case you are quite mistaken." The cloaked figure snarled as he sent a whip cracking against the Orc's back. Under the hood a twisted smirk formed upon the cloaked figure's face at the howl the whip elicited from the twisted creature. " You see things aren't always as they appear to be." The figure said as his eyes darted towards Legolas. " I know the elf-scum has the ring, and you may yet have a chance to redeem yourselves." The cloaked figure turned back towards the shadows. " Come out little elf.." The figure fell back into the soft spoken Sindarin tongue and ignored the Orcs howls.

Legolas froze, not because of being caught, but because of that voice. ' It can't be...' Legolas thought desperately.

" Take him to the caves boys." The figure snarled towards the Orcs, and smirked at the way the blonde elf shuddered from the black tongue.

The Orcs howled in pleasure as they rushed towards the shadows and dragged the frozen elf away.

" I want him alive and unspoiled." The figure snarled before he slowly followed the party back to the caverns. ' perhaps this will be worth while after all.' the figure thought with a smirk upon his face.

TBC....
