As Aeweth entered the camp, Haldir quickly making his way to her. She stopped, looking up at the older Elf. "Where is your brother?" He asked her. "He is just a short distance from here. He just needs some time to himself." She said softly. A short moment later, the sound of a scream sounded. Aeweth froze as she glanced in the direction that it had come from. Haldir was quick to push her behind him and she did not protest.
He turned suddenly, pulling her along with him. She was forced to walk quickly in order to prevent him from dragging her along. She immediately realized where he was taking her. They reached Valaina's tent rather quickly. Entering, Haldir released her. She turned her gaze to him as he spoke. "The two of you are to stay here." The Princess nodded in understanding. She would do as he wished. "Pippin, watch over them." The Hobbit soon was by her side. "Of course." He said to the male Elf.
Aeweth suddenly took hold of Haldir's hand, forcing him to look at her. "Haldir, please..be careful." Worry was written clearly upon her. She suddenly turned, making her way over to Pippin and Valaina. She sat down next to Valaina. There was little else that they could do. The three of them...together they all had little experience in war. Suddenly two howls sounded rather close by. Aeweth felt Pippin sudden pressing closer to her side. It was easy to see that he was frightened.
Gently, she slid a arm about his shoulders. "Do not fear. Haldir will protect us. He is a very skilled warrior and will allow nothing to get into the tent. You will see Master Hobbit." Valaina was ignoring the two that were in the tent with her. She was still rather upset about the day's earlier events. As it were, she was eyeing Legolas's sister and the Hobbit. Pippin looked at Aeweth, trying to smile. "You would think that I would be used to all of this. But..I'm not very brave. Merry was always the brave one. How I wish he was here." "But you have me now. We will look after each other. Help to make sure that we do not back out of our Oath."
Aeweth was unsure what was happening outside of the tent. All she knew was that by the sound of it, something had found them. She feared for Haldir. She wanted nothing more than to help him. Though, she knew that there was little that she could do.
Shortly after Aeweth had left him, he heard Sérëdhiel's scream. He quickly rose from his seat and then turned in the direction that he'd heard her. He flew through the forest, running quickly but quietly. It did not take him long before he found the Elf. He came to a stop only a few paces from where she was. He took in the scene before him. Sérëdhiel stood, un-moving as a fearsome creature slowly neared her. It was not something he'd ever seen before. It looked to be some sort of strange cross of a Goblin and a Wolf.
He was quick to notch an arrow upon his bow, aiming at the creature. It was at that moment that Aragorn arrived as well, though closer to the female Elf. "Sérëdhiel?" The Mortal called to the Elf. She did not seem to react at all. Aragorn continued to try to reach the female. The creature was growling, the sounds coming from him low and threatening. It was easy to see that it wanted to kill. It moved, trying to get near the female Elf. Legolas reacted, the arrow flying. However it missed. Aragorn moved then as well. Together, they attempted to keep the creature away from the female.
Legolas finally became fed up with Sérëdhiel. He could not understand what was wrong with her. He spoke in their language, trying to reach her quickly. "Sérëdhiel, please. We need you..I need you!" He did not like this one bit. Already they'd run into trouble. The sudden sounds of a few more howls came from the direction of the camp. Legolas suddenly felt his heart drop. He, however, could do nothing in that moment. He would have to trust that Haldir would take care of his sister.
Suddenly, there was another of the creatures. This one cut Legolas off from the other two. He paid little attention to this. The creature moved slowly as it neared the Elf. Legolas kept his gaze on the creature. It radiated hatred and evil. It suddenly lunged at him and he dropped his bow, quickly pulling out his twin blades. He slashed at the creature as it attempted to rip him apart. He could not pay attention to Sérëdhiel or Aragorn. His focus completely on the creature before him.
Once Haldir had taken care of getting Legolas's sister and Pippin into the tent, the man excused himself. He knew that it had been Sérëdhiel who had screamed. He ran. So fast he ran that he reached the two Elves moments after Legolas had joined Sérëdhiel. He took in the sight before him. The creature that stood near the female was terrible looking and clearly something that should not be. "Sérëdhiel?" He called to her. Nothing. Aragorn continued to try to get through to her. He tried everything that he knew of though nothing seemed to help.
The creature lunged, Legolas loosing his arrow. It missed. Aragorn moved, then, making his way quickly to place himself in front of Sérëdhiel, attempting to keep her out of harms way. The Human simply swung at the creature, watching as it would back up and then move forward again. This went on for some time before Legolas yelled to Sérëdhiel though Aragorn had no clue what was said.
The sound of more howls came from the camp. Aragorn knew then that they were in trouble. These beasts were clearly built for war. A moment later, another creature joined them. It cut Legolas off from the female Elf and Aragorn. Aragorn fought hard, trying to get their small group back together. If something didn't change soon, they would not survive. That much was clear. It was amazing how agile the creatures were. They seemed to be just out of reach of their weapons. Something that Aragorn could honestly say...he'd never experienced before.
