Before anything I just want to warn you about the fact that English is not my main language, and I am sorry for any horrible mistake I might do
Summary:
When Legolas arrives at Rivendell badly beaten, what will his friends do? And when he starts attacking Estel both verbally and physically what will happen?
Characters: Estel/Aragorn, Elrohir and Elladan
Disclaimer: Must we do this before every chapter? Well if I did own LoTR we would have a lot of shirtless elves walking around to say it like that.
Omygod! I am so so so sorry for the long wait I have absolutely no reason for it except school and that one is too much used already…..
OoOoOoOoOoO
~"You are a curse to mankind. The same weakness that found place I Isildurs veins also rest in yours." Legolas said his voice full of malice.
"No Mellon nin, this is not you. What happened to you?"
"Mellon Nin?! Do not call me such, a man is no friend of mine. Especially not the man who is the living reason for Mirkvoods desperation."
Despite being very weak and not actually able to go out of bed this was exactly what Legolas did. And suddenly the world seemed to fall around him.
Estel saw his friend stumble and fall and rushed over to help him.
"NO! Do not come near me filthy man!" Legolas shouted and kicked out as hard as he could at the man he used to call friend. Estel heard a sickening crunch and piercing pain in the chest…
Suddenly the dream shifted
He was in the water trying to swim up but he could not. He saw the faces staring at him, the faces of his father, brothers, best friend and even his mother but when he reached out to them their faces twisted in pain as their fair features darkened and bloody welts appeared all over their bodies.
"Do you see what you have done with your weakness, heir of Isildur? The only thing you can ever cause your family is pain and misery. If you were to stay with them any longer they will all die, every single one of them your father, brother and even your beloved…~
"Nooooo!" Estel awoke with a start sitting up a bit to quick something he got a painful remainder of as his side suddenly exploded in pain and everything that had happened the day before came back to him.
"Dan! Ro! Estel lokked wildly around him needing to know that the horrible things he just saw were just a dream and nothing else.
"Estel? What is wrong did something happen to Dan?" Elrohir was suddenly wide awake and heading over to his twin when he saw the expression on his foster brother's face. Estel had gone completely pale as if he had seen something horrible.
Estel started shaking his head back and forth in silent denial.
"No. No! It can not be. They would never leave, no matter what!" Estel shouted, then he added with a thin voice
"They promised they would not leave, they promised." And then he suddenly started crying. Elrohir quickly ran over to his brother and held the man in to his chest hoping to bring him some comfort to the horror world he was now trapped in.
OoOoOoOoOoO
They had been sitting there for a while Estel`s crying gradually lessening when Elrohir suddenly heard a noise.
"Yrch!" he shouted and dragged Estel to his feet.
"Estel, gwador I know you are scared but you must listen to me! There are about fifteen orcs heading towards our camp and if we are to get away without a fight we have to go now!" These words seemed to drag the man back from where ever he was lost and he looked at his brother a new seriousness in his eyes.
"If you get Dan I will run and fetch the horses" he told his brother then ran of towards the forest.
After Estel came back with the horses he helped Elrohir getting up on Adlanniel and holding him while Elrohir mounted behind his twin he, himself mounted his beloved Faelwen and then they were off.
Estel could barely see the path in front of him because of the mad speed they were going at, but he trusted his brother and Faelwen blindly to get them to a safe place hidden away from orcs. Suddenly he could feel his mount stumbling beneath him from tiredness and shouted at his brother.
"Ro! We have to stop. Faelwen can not go any longer and it is about time we check on Dan as well." His brother nodded finding it perfect because he had just seen a cave that would be completely perfect: just out of view for the orcs and yet not to far from the road, so that if anyone came to look for them they would not be to hard to find. He reined in Adlanniel and dismounted before starting to walk in towards the cave, not willing to risk his horse's legs in the treacherous terrain just for the speed.
OoOoOoOoOoO
After having helped his brother make a fire and checked on Elladans wounds, Estel now felt so tired that he could drop. Wich was exactly what he did. The ranger literally fell to the ground in exhaustion, both from the wound and all the emotions going through him. He thought he might get some peace in his dreams, og gow wrong he was.
~"It is your kinds fault you filthy human!"
"Yes you weakness is the reason for the darkness now spreading!"
"Why can you not go and die you round eared edain!" Estel was sitting on the ground terrified of the elflings that were dancing around him, taunting him and pulling his ears.
"I wonder what is wrong with Lord Elrond for taking in something so filthy?" One of them said out loud.
"He must be really stupid indeed." Another answered. All of this made it boil over for Estel and without warning he launched himself at the biggest of the elflings bringing them both down. After the initial shock the others started screaming.
"Get him!"
"Beat him up!"
"Do not let him get away!" As they screamed all of the elflings teamed up, against Estel, beating him up. It was really no fair six elves against one human but they did not seem to care because they kept on beating him until the whimpers could no longer be heard.~
OoOoOoOoOoO
Elrohir had been frightened when he saw his foster brother fall to the floor of the cave. But he had done his best, picking him up and lying him right next to the fire so that the fever he could clearly feel radiating from the human would not get any worse and also covered him in cloaks. Estel had been lying still for some time occasionally whimpering, but suddenly he started convulsing having troubles breathing as if someone was beating him to the brink of death.
OoOoOoOoOoO
