Maya-Pippin-of-the-Shire- I am working on making the chapters longer, I just write them when I get them and stop when I don't have any more ideas to the chapter. In this next chapter, you'll find out how Legolas got into the cave in the first place. Thanks for the nice review!
Elven Fantasy- Sorry for the short chapters, (Again!) This one should be longer, (I hope!)
Anawey- Just keep reading and find out. (Would I be mean enough to kill Legolas? Hmm... sneaks off to corner to hide from all reviewers to determine if I should carry out my evil plan, MUHAHAH!) I also tried to make Legolas brave, (Because he is) and stubborn to, like in one of my other stories, I might post up soon. I will also see if I can get Aragorn back in time. (Maybe.) Will be looking forward to your own stories.
TheOneBlueGecko-Working on making chapters longer, hopefully this one will be longer.
Okay here it is, the long awaited chapter!
Chapter 6: What happened.
An orc walked over and peirced the elf in the shoulder with his blade. The elf was fighting off the orcs that would attack him, but another kept coming to take the dead one's place. Legolas arose from the ground where he had been laying and started to run, when he turned he saw an orc coming straight toward him with a bow and arrow.
Legolas reached for his bow, but was too late, the orc had sent a arrow straight into the shoulder of the already wounded elf. Legolas backed up, but remained standing, determining not to let his friend down.
The orc sent another arrow to his other shoulder. They were pretty much in the same place, close to his heart. Legolas would still not let his friend down. He continued to try to reach his bow, when the orc sent another arrow into the elf's arm. Legolas continued to move back when another arrow peirced his other arm, and he fell. He was sure that he would feel his body hit the ground below, but did not. He continued to fall.
After awhile Legolas finally hit the hard ground below. He hit head first and it started to make his head hurt, he felt pain shoot up his entire body at every move he made. He was fighting the darkness, he did'nt want to be down here anymore, but the more he moved the more he wanted to fall into unconsciousness. He finally gave in and let the darkness take over him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Legolas awoke to still be in the cave. He sighed heavily to see that his friend had not returned. Legolas thought about getting up and looking to see if he could get out, but thought better of it, seeing as it would induce more pain. He wished that if he was going to die that he could go ahead and die, but still his mother's words came back to him. He would'nt give up hope, he just could'nt. Legolas felt someone stroke his head softly, "Sleep, my son, sleep." Legolas fell into a peaceful sleep, not knowing who the person was but felt at ease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aragorn saw the city of Rivendell up ahead. He rode in through the gates and straight up as far as he could go. Aragorn jumped off his horse and started running straight for his father's library.
He finally reached the door and burst into it. "Ada," He exclaimed but his father was nowhere to be found. He ran out of his library and ran straight into someone sending him to the ground. "Im, sorry sir, Aragorn?" Elladen bent down and helped his brother up. "Yes, Elladen, where is Ada?" He asked. "In the dining hall, why, is something wrong?" Without answering Aragorn ran straight to the dining hall. Elladen was wondering what was wrong and started running after his brother.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aragorn ran straight into the dining hall, and searched the crowd of elves staring at him for his father. "Aragorn, what is it?" Aragorn heard his father's voice and ran directly to him, "Ada, it is Legolas, he's been hurt." "Where is he?" Lord Elrond asked. "About one hundread and fifty miles from here, Ada, he has been shot with an orc arrow, I can not see the damage, for he fell." Aragorn continued.
"Calm down, and tell me what you mean." "We were fighting off the orcs, he fell down into a cave, there was no way down to him, I fear that he is about to pass into the darkness, we must make haste." Lord Elrond grabbed his son's arm and started walking with him out of the dining hall, being followed by Elledan and Elrohir.
"Elledan, Elrohir, make ready your things and send word to the stable master to make ready our horses we will leave immeadiately." The two left to do as they were told, and Aragorn continued to follow Elrond.
Elrond walked into the healing wing and grabbed every herb he had, for he knew not what he needed, for he knew not what he could expect, "What about you, are you allright?" Elrond said taking a close look at his son. "Yes, Ada, just a couple of minor scratches and cuts, I'll survive." Aragorn said. Elrond did not believe that was all, but knew he had to make haste, he would check his son out when they got back.
Elrond sent his son to eat, while him and his other sons packed. Aragorn refused at first, but then realized how hungry he was and thought that he needed all the energy he could get, so obeyed his father's orders.
Within the next thirty minutes, the four set off for the cave that held their dying friend, hoping that they would make it in time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Legolas lie in the cave, still unconcious. He still felt the person, whoever it was, stroking his hair. He began to shiver, and pain went up to his chest. "Have faith, my son, Have faith. Fight it, fight the pain, help is on the way, have faith, have faith." Legolas heard, "I will try, Nan-neth, I will try." he murmered and resided back into a restless sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that being really his beloved mother's spirit? Are the three elves and human going to make it to the wounded, dying elf in time? If they do make it in time, what state will he be in? Will they be able to help him if they do find him? Find out in the next chapter!
Okay, I hope this one was longer! (Still hiding in the corner, wondering if I should still carry out my evil plan of elf killing.) I should have another chapter up tomorrow, (If I don't feel worse than I already do.) than there will be one up tomorrow, if not, one up as soon as possible, I promise! (I almost fell asleep writing this, so sorry if there's any incorrect grammar.)
