Hiya everyone I'm back, I would like to thank Fantasy writer45678, pink penguins, and Fangirl for reviewing. with that said... I present to you... Chapter 2.

LEGOLAS'S POV

It's always nice to meet someone new... right?

We had been running for days looking for Mary and Pippin, but with little luck in actually finding them. Tracking them was easy though. Orcs are so big and they don't try to cover their tracks. Plus, my elf eyes could see them whenever we reached a high spot. I was doing it now, watching the orcs. Suddenly, I caught sight of a different band of orcs. Not so strange...except they where fighting as if their lives depended on it.
"Legolas, what do you see?" Aragorn asked.
I brought my attention back to the original band of orcs who where now setting up camp.
"They stop for the night, for the first time I believe." I replied.
Aragorn nodded, this was enough information for now. Then I turned my gaze to the other orcs. They were still fighting, but there numbers were fewer. I looked for who was fighting them, but only catching glimpses. I saw a flash of blond hair, but that was it.

"What are ye staring at, laddie?" Gimli asked me, cutting into my thoughts.

"Excuse me, I was not staring. But-" I started to say, but was cut off by Aragorn .

"No Legolas, Gimli is correct, you were staring." Aragorn said.

"Ha!" Gimli shouted.

I ignored them and turned my attention back to the blond person. They whirled around slicing through two more orcs. They stopped for a second, but that was enough. I saw their face. I gasped, it was a girl.

"Ye still staring, laddie. In fact you should pick your jaw up off the ground." Gimli said with a chuckle. "Ye never did tell us. What are you staring at?"

I closed my mouth. "A group of about 50 orcs or so." I replied.

"That is nothing out of the ordinary." Aragorn said. "What shocks you so mellon nin."

"They were fighting but there was only one person fighting them and..." I looked back at her. She was walking away from all the dead orcs, all of which she had killed. "They beat all the orcs, single handed. And 'they' is a girl."

Aragorn and Gimli looked at me skeptically. "Are you sure it was a girl?" Aragorn asked.

"Yes." I replied

"What weapon did she use?" Aragorn asked.

I thought for a moment, "A knife."

"Was she skilled with it?"

"Very."

"Was she pretty?" Gimli cut in.

"Very." I repeated.

"Anything else that you noticed about her we should know?" Aragorn asked.

"She was dressed oddly, and she is headed east."

"Maybe we'll run into the las." Gimli said.

Aragorn and I laughed at Gimli, "Was she headed toward Mary and Pippin?" Aragorn asked.

"Yes." I said.

"We had better get moving." Aragorn said. Gimli and I nodded, and started runningrunning to Mary and Pippin.

It took about 5 minutes of running before we reached the orcs who had been killed by the blond girl, "Wow, you weren't exaggerating when you said 50." Aragorn said.

I nodded and looked over the dead orc body's, each of which had a gash or stab in them. I looked east, towards the girl. She was sitting under an apple tree, not far away at all.

"Aragorn, Gimli, do you see that apple tree less than a mile away?" I asked them.

They looked where I was pointing. They both squinted, and Aragorn nodded, but Gimli kept squinting. "What about the tree, Legolas?" Aragorn asked me.

"The girl is next to it, I think she's resting because she's not moving." I replied.

They nodded, and we ran to the tree, but when we got there, she was nowhere in sight. We stopped dead in our tracks. Where is she?

"Ow!" Gimli shouted.

Aragorn and I looked at him. "What is it Gimli?" Aragorn asked.

"An apple just hit me in the head." He said. Aragorn and I laughed at him, but my blood ran cold when i felt something sharp press against my neckneck.

"Slowly, turn around." A voice hissed in my ear. I stole a glance at Aragorn, and byby the look on his face, he also was being held against his will. We did as the voice said.

"Tell your short friend to drop his weapon, now!" The blond girl said very forcefully.

"Gimli, drop your ax." Aragorn said.

"Legolas, is this the blond you saw?" Gimli asked me.

"Yes." I replied.

"What is the short one talking about, and who are you." The blond girl growled.

"I'm Aragorn, this is Gimli, and that's Legolas." Aragorn said.

"A man, a dwraf, and an elf." She said. She lowered the knife she was holding to my neck, and put down her sword she was holding to Aragorns' neck. We took that moment and grabbed our weapons.

"Now what's your name?" Gimli asked her.

"Annabeth." She said, but she obviously wasn't worried about all the weapons pointed at her.

"That's a strange name." He said matter-of-factly.

"I was thinking the same thing of your name, now, what did you mean when you said you saw me?" She asked Legolas.

"I have really good eyesight, but where were you when we got here?" Legolas remarked.

Annabeth pointed up, in the tree, "You were too distracted by 'shortie' over here to notice me drop from the tree."

We nodded and sheathed our weapons, well Gimli didn't. Then I heard a small crack, as if someone had stepped on twig a little ways away. I looked in that direction and a small band of orcs about 8 our so.

"There's about 8 orcs headed out way." I told everyone, but Annabeth held her hand, stopping us from getting out our weapons out.

"Allow me to show you what I can do." Annabeth said with a smug grin.

"Fine." Aragorn said. I looked at him, was he seriously letting her do this?

"But you'll have to stay in the tree." She said. So, we started climbing. Gimli was reluctant at first, but he eventually came. I had thought Annabeth was going to climb after us but she just stood there.

"I'm going to disappear for a few minutes but promises me you'll stay in that tree, got it." Annabeth said.

We nodded then she put something on her head, and was gone. 5 minutes later, the orcs I had seen were at our tree. We all had our weapons ready, just in case. But we didn't need them. Not 10 seconds after they got here one fell to the ground, dead. The others looked at him, then pulled out their weapons.

"Who goes there! Show yourself coward!" The ugliest one, who must have been the leader, growled. "No man can defeat me!" He continued.

All of the sudden, there was a knife sticking through his chest. "You were correct, I in fact, am no man." Annabeth pulled her knife out of him and he fell to the ground. Then she slashed and stabbed the last 6. We jumped out of the tree.

"Well Legolas, you were right. She is amazing." Aragorn remarked.

"And pretty." Gimli whispered into my ear.

Me and Aragorn looked each other in the eye, and nodded. Someone like Annabeth would be helpful to us.

"Annabeth, would you like to come with us, we are looking for 2 friends of ours, and we could use someone like you." I asked her.

"Oh, I don't know-" She was cut off by Aragorn.

"How about a bet, you fight us each individually, and if one of us wins, you come with us, but if you beat all of us, then you can go. What do you say?" Aragorn asked.

Annabeth thought for a moment, "I accept your challenge."

Phew, that was hard for me, so please review, and OH I need someone who can speak elvish to be my translator, if you accept I'll send you a PM. Thanks again for reading, and bye for now. ;D
