The elf's hands were cold against his own, the young elf's body fell heavy on the man's body. Queer movements in every direction, Aragorn's gaze fell behind to look for Gimli who was failing to catch up with them.

All his thoughts were suddenly led to the warm blood dripping on his hand from the wound inflicted on the elf prince, he held it tight to clog the bleeding, but the wound was too deep, it was placed on the elf's lower waist. He knew he had to get them out and get Legolas to safety before the Orcs pick up their scent.

Aragorn couldn't get a proper look at Legolas' condition but he was barely even awake and that scared the Ranger, not waiting but looking back again at the Dwarf and shouting rather aggressively. "Come Gimli, hurry!" As the Ranger then disappeared into a thick forest with tall dark trees that veiled the sun.

Gimli struggling to catch his breath but worried for his friend he dared not stop, he could almost hear the Orcs charge upon them. He knew once the Orcs found out that they hurt Legolas this bad they'll be back to finish the job.

The Ranger dodged branches and fallen trees, placing his free hand on the elf's head to cover his face from getting scratched by stray twigs, he could feel Legolas slow down as his legs were failing him, soon the prince passed out and fell heavier in the Ranger's arms. "Echuio**wake up**" He whispered softly in his ear feeling the elf's body go numb.

Finally he ran far enough into the forest insuring the Orcs wouldn't find them. Legolas could not go any further and at this point his was limp and unconscious in the man's arms. He lay the elf down against a large tree, taking off his cloak and placing it under the elf's head for support, as he waited for Gillmil to arrive he cautiously scanned his friend's state, what he saw shocked him as he was more hurt than he thought.

Placing his hand on the elf's chest and quietly uttering an elvish prayer then in a way he kissed the elf's head for comfort. "You will heal. " Aragorn said softly and stood to his feet hearing Gimli's approach. "Stay with him while I fetch some herbs, let no harm come to him. " Gimli nodded and Aragorn set out.

"Let them come, I'll send my axe through their chests if they dared venture here!" The dwarf snarled as he stood beside Legolas holding up the axe and scanning the area canny and vigilant as a dwarf could.

A few short minutes had passed but it felt like a lifetime when all Aragorn could think of was Legolas. The Ranger greeted Gimli briefly then tended to the elf's wounds, both the man and Dwarf accepted that Merry and Pippin would have to wait, they needed Legolas' help to rescue them, they can't do it without him.

Three days passed. Legolas sat by the fire with Aragorn's cloak wrapped around his body, it gave him comfort and the scent of him made the young elf feel safe. He often doesn't see the ranger since he was always away, he missed him and often wished he'd stay around longer.
