I do not own any of The Lord o the rings characters just my own characters I am sorry if this story starts out slow and boring this is my first fan fiction and wanted to try to write one and I kneo this chapter is short but the begining is just an introduction on how everything has started.

Elrond's POV

I was by the door when I decided that I could not leave my niece alone I knew my sister would send someone soon to find out what's happening with her daughter as I turned around and moved closer to sit next to her I saw she was barely breathing I knew there was nothing left that I could do to save her just making the passing easier by making sure she does not die alone and in pain. After her last breath was took I prayed for a peaceful journey and that she rest in peace. I held her hand when I heard someone quietly come in as I turned to look at him we both got are questions answered with just the look in each other's eyes, he wanted to know how the child was doing and I wanted to know why he was here. The stranger was the first to brake the silence " I will inform the parents" " no I will for she is my sister" "I understand" " please close the door on your way out for I wish no other to know until my sister and her husband know their child's fate" "yes Lord Elrond" I quickly and silently moved by him and prepared my self for the horrors to come."

JoCole POV

I leaned against the railing and made myself think of only the good things that could happen to my daughter but as time progressed I lost a little more hope that I would ever seen my daughter alive again. When I was deep in thought I heard Higord the captain of are warriors coming closer he was the first to speak for he usually had the right words to say when comfort was needed " Queen Laurin had sent me to get word from Elrond about Jadis, and Nicholai will be arriving shortly he passed Rivendell's borders merely five minutes ago." "Thank you Higord I appreciate you traveling with us I know you have other duties to attend to rather then to sit and wait in Rivendell" "my lord since the child was born and I have protected her and my wife has made sure she was always content with the situations she was faced with, I believe my wife would be disappointed if I had not come to make sure she was protected for we are not the only ones to become attached to the child." " I believe your right Higord but I fear that we would not be celebrating tonight" "I hope your wrong milord" I saw a messenger come rushing up to is but when he talked he talked with pure serenity "Lord JoCole your son and other are in Rivendell for they all wish to see you and your wife immediately" "thank you messenger" I turned and I saw King Thranduil of the Woodland Realm walking to me for it was the first time in days I finally felt peace for he was an old friend "JoCole for it is good to see you for I hoped we would see each other on better terms then this" "Thranduil it's good to see you also surprised you left your realm, I know you do not like to travel far beyond your borders" "yes I do not but I heard of your daughters illness for I know not much comfort will come to you here in Rivendell for they are not of your true kin, but your wife's" " you may be right Thranduil but she may need more comfort then me" "JoCole do you want to have a waver?" "depends Thranduil what on" "your daughter, I waver she lives" "why such a thing? what could you get out of my daughter if she lives, and what if she doesn't?" " I can see it in your eyes JoCole that you think your daughter will not live so it's a harmless bet no doubt" "yes it is but what do you get out of my daughter if she lives" "an arranged marriage" "what no, I always said that my children will not have an arranged marriage" "it's harmless for you, for you think she is dead, and if you win you can have anything I can provide for you." I thought for I do not believe my daughter will live but what if she does for a second I caught a glimpse of Elrond and my wife stood and left for I knew also what was about to be said. "Deal Thranduil, look here comes Elrond."
