MirkWood

CHAPTER 1

| Legolas' POV |

We don't know where they're coming from, the spiders who now inhabit Mirkwood. My father, King Thranduil, sends out some of us daily to kill them and finish them off, but they seem to be descending from the north, and come down in great numbers. We were hunting the spiders, when we encountered dwarves. Dwarves? They dare enter our forest, our realm? We caught them and rounded them up.

"Do not think I will not kill you dwarf," I said, as I had an arrow poised in my bow. "It will be my pleasure."

I said this to who looked like the leader of the company, and I knew who it was. Thorin Oakenshield.

| Tauriel's POV |

I sighed; I had lost the group.

"Legolas? Legolas!" I called into the darkness of the wood. The trees creaked above my head, and the soft rustle of the leaves whispered through the forest. I heard cries coming from a dell in the forest, and ran over to find more than a few spiders crawling through, but Legolas and some of the hunters were defending themselves and fighting against the foul creatures. The rest of the elves were gathered around other people, although they were very small; and hairy.

'Dwarves.' I thought.

They were attempting to kill the spiders, too, and weren't doing badly, (for dwarves, anyway).

I tensed, then sprinted down, piercing spiders with arrows on my way. We all held together, fighting off the creatures, but when they were almost gone, I spotted a young dwarf with a spider approaching him.

"Give me a weapon!" He shouted, but I finished torturing the spider I was with and killed the other before it killed the dwarf.

I relaxed, and after we had checked the dwarves for weapons, we headed back to the palace.

I wonder why these dwarves are here, and what are they doing?

And there is the first chapter! Sorry it's quite short, but I hope you enjoyed it :) ~ xx
