Chapter 12: Everything changes

"Look. I'm not lying Nenmîr feels it too, it's not safe here Aragorn, we must move- quickly!" Legolas whispered to the ranger. "Do you not feel it?"

"I am starting to now, though not as acutely as you, I'll get the camp together" Aragorn gave in to the distressed elf. "Where's Boromir?"

"He went to get wood, I think." Gimli helped.

"And Frodo?" Legolas asked looking around; everyone shrugged bewildered as to his whereabouts.

Aragorn's mind buzzed working over time then suddenly he clicked, he knew where they were, everyone looked at him. "Quickly pack everything up then I need everyone to pair off and look for Frodo and Boromir!" He shouted his companions who immediately obeyed.

After helping clear up any evidence of their camp Legolas and Nenmîr set off into the woods.

"Aragorn thinks Boromir would attack Frodo?" whispered Nenmîr.

"Yes" replied Legolas not paying her much attention, he had to find Boromir and Frodo before it was too late.

Suddenly a cry echoed through the forest, the two elf's heads shot up. It was Aragorn, the two pelted in the direction of his voice.

The air between them thick with panic and urgency Legolas lead the way at a sprint with Nenmîr close behind. Soon the sound of orcs reached their ears.

They burst onto the scene at the same time as Gimli, Boromir and the hobbits were no where to be seen. A large gang of orcs, no huge gang of orcs approached them.

Nenmîr let loose her first arrow an orc fell before her feet. She loosed one after the other but they kept coming, they were going to be overrun. Black blurs ran past her as she replaced her bow for twin swords. The foul beasts kept coming. Too many of them were getting past her Legolas Aragorn and Gimli- they couldn't stop them.

Then a thought struck her, Boromir was on his own, no matter how much she feared him she had t help him they had to work together. The elf-warrior backed up as Legolas shot an orc just as it was about to stab Aragorn, Gimli was making a considerable dent in the number but there were too many and they were running past the four of them into the woods to presumably find Boromir who was alone.

Nenmîr felt urgency stab her brain; she needed to find him- now! She turned and ran for all she was worth pushing orcs out her way; she raced faster than her legs could carry her, down the smooth slope. The loose debris and fallen leaves allowed her to slip down with them; she threw her arms out for balance.

Suddenly a horn pierced through the air, she skidded to a halt with difficulty, nearly falling flat on her face.

That didn't sound like an orc horn and she'd heard enough orc horns in her time to decipher the difference. It was Boromir he was alright! She carried on racing in the direction of sound, she'd seen Boromir carrying that horn, it was special she could tell by the way he looked at the item with pride obvious in his eyes.

Finally she found the man, he was valiantly fighting off the orcs, but relief clearly showed on his face to see the elleth, and Merry and Pippin were stood behind him looking apprehensive to fight but Frodo and Sam were nowhere to be seen, she shoved that worry to the back of her mind and concentrated on the problem before her.

Nenmîr got slaying, the black creatures kept pouring in, they were flailing, the two had started fairly close back to back but Nenmîr had been forced away and was now over the other side of the small clearing trying with all her might to kill off the enemy.

But for how long would the two of them be able to defend themselves and Merry and Pippin (who the orcs seemed to be keen to get to) against the endless horde? And where was Frodo and Sam?
