Something Is Not Right
Elrond immediately rushed forward. Gandalf debated in his head whether or not to tell Elrond what would happen if they did not heal Elrohir and Feanariel correctly. At the moment he shook this out of his head when the Feanariel and Elrohir got up off the floor and looked around with strangely dark eyes.
"Do not worry, we are not harmed," said Elrohir in an expressionless voice. Gandalf stepped forward and touched Feanariel's arm. As he expected, it was deadly cold. They both looked as though a shadow had passed their faces. Elrond had a mixture of relief and confusion at seeing them get up regularly, but something was not correct about this. They both seemed…different. Legolas did not know what to do about this. There was something wrong about the way they looked. They both seemed paler, and they had darker eyes.
"Why do you stare at us as if you had never seen us before?" Asked Feanariel with a voice that sounded almost normal, were it not for the ice that covered it.
"You do not seem well, may escort you to the healing areas so that you may be checked poisoning?" for Asked Elrond cautiously. He did not know why he used this caution though.
Elrohir and Feanariel both screamed no at the same
time. All eyes turned to them
suspiciously at this sudden raise of voices.
"We are not in need of your healing, we have already said that we are unscathed," replied Feanariel in a softer, but still strangely contained voice. Gandalf knew they were being Affected. They were in the stages of Change. Yet Gandalf kept his voice and did not reveal his knowledge of the poison.
"I am weary, may I go to my chamber please…father," said Feanariel. She said the last word in a very strained voice. Gandalf did not want to let them go, but he knew Elrond would not take the information easily. Legolas was very confused. He looked closely at both of them, looking for some kind of reaction to anything. They were not doing a thing. Gandalf noticed that Legolas seemed suspicious also. Elrond also had a peculiar expression. Elrond thought for a moment and decided that it would be no good keeping them form sleeping and decided to let them off. It would be straightened out in the morning. They might only be tired after all. But he did want to know why they had no fatal reaction to the poison.
"The Death Biters are still there. I want all of you to have different accommodations tonight. Yes, you too Legolas. You were in the same wing as they were, and if only one of them is not killed, I am sure it would find it's way to you. I do not know much about Death Biters, but I am sure that Gandalf would enlighten you about them. I will have Elebdil show you to new accommodations." Elrond signaled to a young elf that stepped forward.
"Trouble seem to follow you, does it not Legolas? I know what your question is; I was listening to this conversation because I have Master Elrond's trust. Come, all of you! Let us depart now so that you may sleep peacefully tonight. Or as peaceful as you can, considering that there are dangerous creatures loose," said Elebdil cheerfully. Legolas was somewhat unnerved at the cheerfulness of Elebdil. Surely this was not a time for merriment? Elladan and Arwen linked arms with Elrohir and Feanariel, who looked as though they would rather be anywhere than in the arms of their kin. Elebdil led them to another wing where they would be settling that night.

Elebdil cursed to himself in his head. His plan had not worked! The Death Biters had been planted in the beds of the kin of Elrond. He had only captured two of them instead of the four of them. Something stirred in his mind, something that reminded him that he was possessed. He shook off the weak Elebdil whose body he had possessed. It was true; he had been looking for an elf so that he could spy on Elrond and his children. He had found Elebdil, who was still young and weak. Well, he would try again, though not tonight, some were already suspicious. He looked over at Legolas who was staring stonily ahead. He would have to be cautious around this one. He had helped with the destroying of the ring. He was enemy. Elebdil pondered whether or not to attempt getting rid of him also. Master would like that. Again Elebdil felt the body of the person he was in fighting against him. Curse it!! This one was stronger than he thought. Well, it would be done soon enough. At least he had two of them. They would here the master's call and depart tonight probably.
***********************************************************************************************
When Arwen, Elladan, Feanariel, Elrohir, and Legolas were situated in different accommodations, they all had a small council in Arwen and Feanariel's room. Arwen was very worried about the health of her brother and sister. They seemed to be different. Their skin was so cold and their eyes were dark. The council lasted for 30 minutes until Legolas noticed that Elrohir and Feanariel were not present.
"Where are Feanariel and Elrohir?" Asked Legolas in a concerned voice. Everyone rushed to the nearest window and looked out. They all heard an eerie whistle and then another in response to it. They saw the figures of Feanariel and Elrohir walking as if in a trance. They were surrounded by a dark shadow. Both of them drifted towards the forest in their trance like walk.
"Arwen, get Gandalf! Legolas and I will follow them and bring them back! Please hurry! I do not like the look of that Shadow," said Elladan quickly. "Come Legolas!"
Legolas and Elladan went to the window and sprang out nimbly, landing soundlessly. They raced as fast as they could to the dimming shapes of Feanariel and Elrohir.
Author's Notes: Do you like my chapter? I know, a little boring. I will try to get some romance in as soon as I can. I do have to have a plot though. Please be patient and review! If I get more reviews, I will be more encouraged that people want me to go on!
