I'm back! Sorry it took me so long to update! There's just been a lot going on and I had writer's block. I still sort of do but it's a bit better now. I'm sorry this chapter is so short! I will update when I can but it won't be as often as before since I have a lot going on. I'm going to try to finish this story though possibly before my other ones, so sorry if you're reading one of those as well. I hope you like this chapter, there are only a few more chapters left!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings.
Chapter 16:
The sight that greeted me was not a pleasant one. The men had been backed into a perfect circle, completely surrounded by the armies of Mordor. I willed my horse to go faster. I needed to get there in time. It was a suicide mission to be sure but at least I would get to see Legolas, I reasoned. I would die without him anyways; not being able to go on with a heart that would be as shattered as mine. I sped towards my certain death, feeling no fear, just worry for my new friends.
I allowed my horse to go just before I reached the group. I arrived just as we charged and I plunged myself straight into battle. I would not allow Mordor to win, at least not without taking down as many of their vile creatures as I was capable of. I slashed and cut and stabbed as many Orcs as I could. They fell around me but more just kept coming. I slit one's throat as I punched another in the face. I kicked one that had come up behind me and then twisted its neck with all the strength I had, breaking it. I was actually making progress when I heard the scream.
It came from above and it was unlike anything I had ever heard before. It entered my mind through my ears and developed into an excruciating pain worse than anything I had ever experienced in the past. I fell to the ground, unable to think about the battle around me, unable to focus on anything other than the pain. It tore into me and ripped away my senses one by one, causing me to bleed from my eyes and ears.
My hearing was the first to go, the only thing left being a high pitched ringing that made my head throb uncontrollably. After that, it was my sight, reduced to a blinding white as if I lived in nothingness, as if I lived in an empty world devoid of colour. My taste and smell went together and last of all my touch. Blood flowed freely from my eyes and ears, my lips and nose as I felt an incredible numbness. I slid into an unconscious state that left me neither living nor dead, just forever trapped in this odd universe of oblivion.
Love it? Hate it? PLEASE REVIEW! It would mean a lot to me! Reviews mean more chapters! I hope you enjoyed it and sorry again for the shortness and long wait! Until next time!
