Aragorn had came along way from where he had hiden in the tree. He had began following the elf's trail and hoped with all his heart he was reading the marks right, he bent down and exmained the tracks he had found now, sighing he traced his hand along the light print of his very best friend. Getting up again he followed to where the tracks led him then he discovered drag marks of a very large creature, probly a warg he thought to himself and then his eyes went wide when he saw bloody trails on the ground slipping into the other marks. He followed the trail until he came to a river, there he saw even more bloody trails and a strand of one pale blonde hair waving in the breeze it was enfough to make the man feel ill to his stomace.

Legolas gasped in pain and shock as the wargs teeth tore into his flesh, suddenly lifting their noses into the air they howled long and deep. The elf wanted to cover his ears but found it too painful to move, instead he winced and shut his eyes tightly as the wargs howled again then the awful creatures took off as they heared the orcs calling to them. Legolas opened his eyes again and thankful they were gone he let his body sink back with relife.

Aragorn knew he had to stay strong and let the breath he had been holding out. It would do no good for him to fall apart now! He still did not know where Legolas was and he needed to find his friend fast if the elf had any chance of surviving at all!

Legolas felt someone near him and gasped as they took hold of his shoulders.

" It is alright, Mellon nin. I need to get you out of this water!"

The elf closed his eyes as his friend hauled him out of the water and onto the shore. Aragorn heard the pained sounds the elf made as he pulled him close. Legolas opened his eyes looking up at the man.

"Estel, Do you remember our adventures together?"

" Yes, I do, Mellon nin and we shall have many more adventures together."

The elf closed his eyes and several tears trickled down his cheeks, Aragorn touched his arm lightly concerned. Why was his friend crying? Was it from the pain or was it from something else?

" Legolas?"

The elf opened his eyes and looked up at his friend again.
