15. Chapter 14

New chapter because you guys are so great! This will be the last new chapter in a week or two so, of course, I left you with a cliffhanger because I'm mean (sorry!). Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! It's a little short but it was a good place to stop and you got a chapter yesterday. And now, without further ado, read on!

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings.

Chapter 14:

We were doing just fine until the giant elephants showed up. That's when everything went south.

I had managed to obtain no injuries and I had taken out quite a few of the foul creatures that belonged to Mordor but for that one moment when I was distracted, gazing at the huge creatures, that was the moment the Orc struck. It only managed to land a small cut on my left shoulder but it burned like nothing I'd ever felt before. I shook it off, however and killed the Orc.

"Re-form the line!" Theoden was shouting but I think we all knew that it wouldn't do us much good. They then charged towards the enormous monsters and I could do nothing but follow them, although I was a bit slower, seeing as by now, I was on foot. I'm going to die, I thought as I ran at the gigantic animals.

There were people on top of the creatures, I soon realized. They seemed to be steering the animals. They were like the tattooed men I had seen going towards Minas Tirith (it was more like face paint then tattoos, I now saw). Maybe, if someone could kill them, the animal would no longer attack. We might even be able to turn the large elephants against each other.

My thoughts were interrupted as a giant foot landed right where I had been just moments before. I looked up to see the creature stumbling and crashing into another. Someone must've killed whoever was driving. Some of the men from the first animal managed to get off it alive and they were now attacking the Rohirrim. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the dragon-like creature land somewhere close and I noticed what seemed like figures made of green mist joining the fight.

Unfortunately, I had no time to dwell on that. One of the men from the elephant had noticed me and was advancing towards me, a smile on his face. I knew instantly that he would be a better fighter than the Orcs were.

I attacked first, once he was close enough, but he disarmed me easily. He laughed as I backed away, unsure of what to do. I really am going to die, I thought. Suddenly an idea came to me, it wasn't perfect but it was better than nothing. When he was almost upon me, I grabbed the hem of my tunic and lifted it to my collarbone, exposing my bare chest. That made him drop his sword.

An arrow appeared through his heart and he fell to the ground, dead. Behind him was Legolas, his bow in hand. Thank God he's alright, I thought. He was gaping at me. I dropped my shirt quickly in a vain attempt to preserve my modesty. I could feel my face burning as I picked up my dagger. Legolas just stood in shock, staring at me. I heard someone shout his name, breaking him from his trance. He shot one last glance at me before running off in the direction of the yell.

An Orc attacked me at that moment and I needed to defend myself as quickly as possible. When I looked up again, Legolas was on top of one of the monstrous creatures, having already killed everyone on it. He then proceeded to slay the beast and slide of its trunk, sending a nod in Gimli's direction, which also happened to be in my direction. I felt faint.

At first, I thought it had to do with the butterflies in my stomach at what he had just done but I soon realized it was something else. My vision began to blur and I sank to my knees. I heard a shout and felt someone grab my shoulder and shake it but by then I was already losing consciousness. I felt the cut on my arm flare up again in pain. Stupid Orc, I thought just as I blacked out.

Love it? Hate it? PLEASE REVIEW! More reviews mean more chapters and I'd really like to get this story to 150 reviews because it is unlikely that I will ever have another story so popular so I want this one to count. Estrella flashed the guy haha and worse, Legolas saw! Tell me what you think! Also now she's unconscious. Will she live? Will she die? Will she be forever disabled? What do you think? Tell me in the review!

PS I'm going to write a Pirates of the Carribbean modern day AU that will be a Will/OC fic. Would any of you be interested in that?
