Promises (A LOTR/Legolas Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter 19: They're taking the Hobbits to Isenguard

Estelwen (Alastegiel) POV

We have been running for a few days now. I am starting to get back to my normal self. We rarely ever stop to take a brake. Aragorn stops and gets down on the ground to listen to see how far away the Uruk-hai are.

"Their pace has quickened" Aragorn informs us. He starts to get up, "They must have caught our scent. Hurry!"

"Come on, Gimli!" Legolas says to him.

"Three days and nights pursuit. No food. No rest. And no sign of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell." Gimli mutters to himself.

I sure do hope we find Merry and Pippin. I hope nothing bad has happened to them. I hope we will be able to save them in time. Aragorn all of the sudden stops and bee's down to pick up something. I immediately recognize what it is.

"Not idly the leaves of Lórien fall." Aragorn says.

Legolas then looks at it, "They may yet be alive."

"Less than a day ahead of us. Come." Aragorn says with a new sense of hope. I am so relieved to find out that they are most likely still alive.

"Come, Gimli! We're gaining on them!" Legolas says to him, trying to keep him going.

"I'm wasted on cross-country. We Dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances." Gimli shouts to Legolas.

We all stop when we see Rohan. Aragorn speaks, "Rohan. Home of the Horse-lords. There's something strange at work here. Some evil gives speed to these creatures. Sets its will against us."

Legolas moves up ahead more to see if he can see any clues as to where the Uruk-hais are taking the Hobbits. "Legolas! What do your Elf-eyes see?" Aragorn shouts to Legolas.

"The Uruks turn northeast. They're taking the Hobbits to Isenguard!!!"

I'm sorry, I meant to make it longer :'( but I have to finish packing. I will make a lot of updates when I get back. :)
