Aragorn gasped as Legolas doubled over in pain and cought the elf before he crashed to the ground. Legolas passed out in the ranger's arms.

" Legolas!"

Aragorn lay his friend onto the ground and pulling his shirt off he rolled it up and slid it under his friend's head making use of what he had to use as a pillow. Then he gently lifted the elf's shirt and paled when he saw the knife wounds. One of the wounds was low on Legolas' stomache and the other was higher up. Aragorn bit his lip to keep his feelings in check and started cleaning the wounds.

Legolas had been standing outside by the gate when severl guards came and tied ropes around his arms in front of Aragorn's other friends. The elf asked why they were doing this and the guards slammed him into the ground without answering him.

Aragorn startled at the sound of his friend groaning. Legolas opened his eyes and his orbs were dark with pain.

" Mellon nin, are you well?"

The elf shook his head and Aragorn rubbed his cheek.

" They overdosed me and they beat me."

Aragorn stared at his friend in shock.

" They stabbed you too. Did you know that?"

Legolas nodded and closed his eyes again. The ranger sighed seeing the terror on his friend's fair face and added herbs to the cloth he was using to clean his friend.

" Oh God!"

" I am so sorry, mellon nin. I have got to get these cleaned. They are all red!"

Legolas could not hold back the tears he had pushed back since his inprisonment, Aragorn stopped what he was doing and pulled the elf close. They didn't speak but held each other close as the ranger wept with his friend.

The end
