A/N The following scene is taken from the Fellowship of the Ring. It is the part where Legolas shoots the flying beast the Nazgûl rode on. I attempted to tell it from my perspective. The only phrase I took from that scene was Elbereth Gilthoniel. I hope you enjoy
#41 Fell Creatures
The Fellowship just reached the western shores after frantically paddling from the enemies of Mordor. It had been a miracle none of them had been pierced by the black arrows of the archers.
The Fellowship was about to get out of the Lórien boats when they halted not daring to breathe for fear they would be seen or heard. As quick as lightening, Legolas laid down his paddle and strung his bow given to him by the Lady Galadriel. Quickly fitting an arrow, Legolas looked across the River into the darkness as if he was expecting to see some dark creature jump out at them at any moment.
Frodo wanted to ask him what he saw, but as if the unseen could read his mind, piercing cries rang through the night sky causing all but Legolas to cover their ears. Legolas looked anxiously into the nocturnal heavens to find the creature the screeches belong to when all of a sudden huge shadowy figures began to advance towards them.
"Elbereth Gilthoniel!" cried Legolas when he saw what was approaching towards them rapidly. Frodo shrank back feeling an icy cold, sharp pain in his shoulder. The last time he felt like this was back on Weathertop when the Witchking stabbed him. Frodo wanted to scream, wanted to run but he was frozen in place unable to even cry for help.
Legolas not wasting anytime aimed his bow at the fell creature, and with a "twang" it went speeding hitting its mark dead on. As quickly as the creature came flying towards them, it fell on the other side of the River sending shrill voices and cursing in the distance until it became completely silent once again.
Frodo breathed a sigh of relief as the pain left and warmth began to creep through his body once more. As soon as the rest of the Fellowship were sure no more creatures would reappear, they went further upstream towards safety. That was too close for comfort, thought Aragorn to himself, and indeed it was.
