Thanks for all the reviews and wonderful help that has been given.

"Elladan." Elrohir called to his brother.

"Yes."

"Glorfindel said Nathya is afraid of the dark. Do you know why?"

"Well yes, you do not know?"

"If I knew I would not be asking you now would I?"

"Well I guess not. She was attacked as an elf-ling by two orc's"

"When?"

"Do you remember the summer Arwen turned ten?"

"Yes, it was the summer Ada had to go to the Havens with Grandfather and Glorfindel."

"Yes, that was the same summer the havens was attacked by Orc's. Do you remember that?"

"No. I know the Havens received an attack but do not remember all the details."

"Nathya was pulled from her bed by two Orc's they attacked her and her mother. Nathya was too young and scared to try and fight them off. They were pawing at her when Grandfather and Haldir found them. Nathya has never gotten over the fear of the dark and being in it. She still to this day sleeps with the lantern lit in her room."

"How do you know this story?"

"Do you remember when Nathya first came here?"

"Yes."

"Well one evening she was upset and crying in the gardens. I over heard Ada and Glorfindel speaking with her. Later the next day I asked Ada and he told me what I told you."

"Ada could not help her with her fear?"

"He tried but it is with in her too deeply, not even grandmother was able to help her. Grandmother and Ada said that when she finds her mate the fear and dreams would end."

"Does Nathya speak about it with anyone?"

"Perhaps to Glorfindel."

Elrohir sighed and stood from where he had been sitting. He walked over to the cell door and stood facing it.

"What do you think Grandfather is going to do to Nathya." He asked his brother his voice sounding unsure and scared.

"I do not know, but I do believe with in my heart all will be well. Grandfather is fair in his judgment. Nathya was pushed into this by years of miss-treatment Grandfather will not over look that."

"No, but I do not think it will sit well with Himwen's father."

"You might be right, but Grandfather will not be swayed from his decision so easily."

Elrohir nodded and turned and looked at Nathya his eyes widened as he realized she was waking. Nathya moaned and let out a small gasp. She slowly and groggily opened her eyes. She tried to sit up and discovered her hands were bound. She looked around and stared at the twins who were looking at her quit worried. Her breathing quickened as she realized where she was. Elladan walked over to her and knelt down.

"Are you ok?"

"No" She snapped

"Let me see your face Nathya." He asked

"No. Go away."

"I can not do that. We were told to stay with you till Glorfindel returns."

"Why I can not go anywhere my hands are bound and the cell is locked."

"While this is true we were told to remain with you."

"Do you know what is to be done with me My Lord." she said trying to change the subject from her face to her fate.

"I do not know you fate. That is not my decision nor right to know. I believe Grandfather will be just in his decision."

"I will not say I am sorry for my actions or words if he asks me to do so."

"I will not say your action or words were right, but I do understand why you did and said what you did."

She sighed and turned so he could look at her face. He studied it and smiled.

"I will send my brother for some ointment that will take away the color and the pain. In a few days the burse will be gone."

"No thank-you My Lord"

"I just want to help."

"I do not want it, now please leave me be."

"Nathya, not all around you are against you please let me help you."

"Forgive me." She lowered her head and tried to hold back the tears she knew were coming.

"There is nothing to forgive just let me help you."

She gave a nod and Elrohir turned to leave and paused as he heard someone. He smiled as two guards appeared.

"Nirorn, Pelinlas good evening why are you here?"

"Good evening My Lords your Grandfather asked us to come down here and for you both to come to him right away." Pelinlas said

"Why are we needed?" Elladan asked

"That is not for me to know My Lord. I was told to come here and stay with the girl."

"Grandfather asked us to remain here till Glorfindel returns. Why would he change his mind."

"Perhaps he needs your insight or something else. Who am I to question his words or decisions? He asked us to stay here and to tell you both to come to him right away."

"Very well." Elladan said, he turned to Nathya and smiled.

"I will be right back, and I will bring the ointment. Listen to them and do as they say."

"I shall." She whispered.

The twins turned and left. Nathya looked down at her feet and shivered. She had a sudden since of dread. She did not know the two guards but she knew they did not like her. She could feel it in the air all around her. He fear quickened as she could hear their whispers but not make out their words.

"Been a naughty little Peredhil." Pelinlas said walking towards her. "Could not keep your nasty comments or hands to your self" He stopped in front of her and reached down for her. She jerked away from him turning her head from him.

"Leave me alone."

"What if I say no."

She said nothing just looked at the cell door and closed her eyes. Pelinlas reached down and pulled her to her feet.

"Come and see what we do to those who hurt those above them." He pulled her along as Nirorn opened the cell door. She felt the dread creep so deep with in her. She gasped and tried to squirm away, but his grip was a death grip.

She turned and called out hoping her cries would be heard.

"Help me, Lord Elladan please help me." No answer came to her.

They pulled her down and darkened hall and unlocked a huge door. They opened the door and moved in closing it behind them and locking it. Darkness was all around her and they moved her down a winding path. It led down deep under Rivendell.

They unlocked another door and led her in. The stench was overpowering and overwhelming.

"Do you know what is down here? Pelinlas asked

"No"

"Lord Celeborn's and Lord Glorfindel's prisoners. There are two of them; they have been here for some time now. Never to leave till death takes them. Did you know the Elf you love so dearly tortures them?"

She shook her head no and tried to control her fear. He looked at her and smiled. She saw such hate in his eyes and she feared she would never see the dawn.

He shoved her down a small hall and towards a cell. He shoved her in front of the cell. The huge Orc slammed into the door and reached its hand out of the tiny opening. Nathya screamed and tried to pull away. Pelinlas held her tightly and held her face so she had no choice but to look at the creature. She screamed over and over. Fear creeping into like it had once before. Her mind played that night over and over and she saw her death in front of her.

"I am going to unlock his door and leave you here." He yelled tossing her aside.

She hit the ground and tried to get to her feet. She could not get her footing and fell once more. She looked up and realized Pelinlas and Nirorn were gone.

"Noooooooooo……….." She screamed. Realizing she was alone with the creatures she feared the most. "Please" She whispered "Someone please help me."

…………………..

Elladan paused and turned looking back the way he had just come from. He stood and turned heading back towards the cells.

"Where are you going Elladan Grandfather sent for us?"

"Something is not right Elrohir. You go and if I am wrong I will answer to Grandfather. I feel something is not right, I must go back." He yelled over his shoulder and he took off with blinding speed towards the cells.

Haldir looked up from the book he was reading as he heard Elladan call to him. He jumped up and took off towards his friend. Something in Elladan's voice told Haldir something was dearly wrong. Elladan threw open the door that led to the cells and he could hear Nathya's cries. He flew down the hall and stairs straight to her cell. He looked around and he suddenly realized what had been done.

Nathya had backed her self into a corner. She gasped as she realized the corner was near another cell containing the second orc. She screamed and jumped to her feet. She took a step and crashed to the ground. Her dress had gotten caught and caused her to fall. She screamed as she could hear the two Orc's slamming themselves into the cell doors.

Haldir flung Pelinlas into the wall with great force.

"You fool what have you done." He yelled

Elladan flung the door open and ran in looking around for Nathya. He saw her in a corner she was on the ground curled in a tight ball crying. He moved quickly to her side but suddenly paused. She was in shock, and he knew if her grabbed her he could make things much worse. He turned and gave a sigh of relief as he saw Glorfindel and his grandfather.

"Nathya." Glorfindel's soft voice called "Avo osto nad" "Nathya come to me"

She looked up and suddenly leaped into his arms.

"Please, please do not let it get me."

"It can not get you Nathya it can not get out of its cell. Not a thousand Orc's could break that door."

"Its unlocked, Pelinlas unlocked it." She yelled.

"He can not unlock that door Nathya. Only Lord Celeborn him self has the keys to those doors."

He picked her up and felt her tiny frame cringe with pain. He walked out and glared at Pelinlas as he handed Nathya to Elladan.

"Take her to the southern pass, I will be there as soon as I can. Haldir and his brothers will follow with food and supplies. Do not stop for anything and no one do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Go swiftly" Celeborn said as he gently placed a hand on Nathya. "Your safe little one." He said to her.

She gave no reply and made no sound. She was pale and her eyes had a fixed glare of sure terror in them.

"I do not know how to help her?" Elladan quickly added.

"Keep her calm and keep a fire lit it is all we can do for now." Celeborn said looking his grandson in the eyes.

Elladan turned and headed for the stables his brother close behind him.

"Elrohir" Glorfindel called

"Yes."

"Go to the healing ward and take some sleeping herbs. Give them to Elladan and tell him to make his fathers sleeping draft. He will know what to do."

"I will" He turned and quickly left.

Glorfindel turned and glared at the two elves in front of him and Celeborn. He watched the two slouch with fear. He studied them and turned and looked at Celeborn.

"What do you wish me to do with them My Lord?"

"I do not know. My anger is too great to deal with them, and they do not need to face you wrath yet. Lock them down here, no food or water for three days. I will decide then what I shall do with them. Till them they can listen to the Orc's cries and smell their filth." He turned and walked over to them. "If what you have done to her can not be undone, you will pay dearly. That girl was brutally attacked as an elf-ling by two orc's. You do not even want to know where their filthy hands were when Haldir and I found her. She has never gotten over that night." He had to turn away from them before he did something he knew he should not do.

Glorfindel watched as Celeborn walked out of the cells. He turned and looked at Pelinlas. He shoved him and Nirorn into an empty cell next to one of the orc's. He quickly pulled his dagger and sliced along Pelinlas's arm. The cut tore through the elf's tunic and caused a great gash in his arm. Glorfindel grabbed the wound and squeezed with great force. Pelinlas cried out in pain. Glorfindel waited till the blood socked the torn part of the tunic. He tore the blood-socked part off and tossed it into the orc's cell. The orc went crazy and it sounds were enough to drive one mad.

"I have not feed them in over a week, and I lied to Nathya. They can break those doors. It's the main doors they cannot get through. I hope their hunger is not the end of either of you. But perhaps it would be better to die their way then to face my wrath and Celeborn's." He turned and walked away shutting the cell door behind him.
