Do You See What I See
Chapter Ten
………..
A/N
I did mean to put Kings foot. My friend gave me the idea. I how ever like the Kings-foil better so I went back and changed it. I do not remember that in the book or movie. I do remember it being called Athelas and asea. Why I did not think of it before I do not know. So now I have changed it.
Thank you Nelarun you're the best you get full credit for this.

Two Weeks Earlier In Rivendell
Silaerin gasped as she sat up. She placed her hand over her heart and stumbled as she jumped out of the bed. She hit the floor and staggered to the door. She flung it open and ran out it not even grabbing her robe. She ran out into the cold night heading for the main house. She ran past the guards not stopping at their commands.
"You stop now." She heard them but did not have time for their question or delays.
She ran straight to the house and right in through the side door. She ran down the hall and pounded on a door.
"Lord Elladan please wake now." She shouted, "Please, please." She screamed now frantic. She struggled as she was grabbed from behind thrashing about. "Let me go, I need to see Lord Elladan." She cried
All around her doors were opening and elves were moving towards her cries. Elladan's door flew open as he came out sword in hand. He looked at Silaerin in a guards arm struggling to get away. There was panic, and fear in her eyes.
"Let her go at once you fool. Can you not see there is something wrong." Elladan said raising his voice. He stepped close to Silaerin holding a hand out to her.
"Silaerin what has happened?" He asked taking in her full appearance and noticing she was with out a robe.
"Please." She said frantic "You must leave now, take your brother and Haldir's brothers and ride out at once. They are in danger you must go at once hurry." She was now pulling at him and her words were pleading direly.
"Silaerin please calm your self, you're not making any sense." He pulled her into his room and quickly grabbed a blanket covering her.
"Please hurry." She shouted
Elladan looked behind the frightened she-elf as his grandfather and brother entered his room.
"Elladan" Celeborn called out "Is all well?"
"I do not know she is frantic." Silaerin turned and ran towards Celeborn.
"My Lord please they are in danger."
"Who is in danger?" He asked her taking a hold of her and gliding her over to the bed and setting her down.
"Lord Glorfindel and the others, I had a vision."
"What is this vision of?" He calmly asked.
"They are in a village it is going to be attacked by Orc's there are not enough men in the village to help. Please you must send help now, it is the only way to save them. If not I have seen their death." She placed her hands over her face.
Celeborn sat next to her and gently and fatherly took her in his arms.
"Go now take Haldir's brothers and several guards. You must ride with all haste. Take the shortest path you know and let nothing stop you. Her visions have never failed her." The twins looked at each other and took off out of the room and down the hall.
Celeborn closed his eyes and held Silaerin. He said a silent prayer and hoped help would reach the others in time.

Back To The Present At The Inn
Sapphire sat in front of the huge fireplace in the common room brushing out Draugrin's coat. The huge she-wolf sat calmly every once licking Sapphire's hand.
"You like this don't you." Sapphire said
Draugrin wagged her tail and gave a small bark. Sapphire giggled and continued to brush the wolf. Her grandmother watched her and smiled as she did so.
"She is loving is she not?" The old woman said
"Yes she is."
"Her coat is lovely when it is brushed out is it not?"
"Yes grandmother it is. Do you see the hints of blue in it?"
"Yes child I do." The old woman said as she crossed the room and stood next to her granddaughter. "They show brilliantly in the fire light." She said patting the wolf on her head.
The door opened and caused both grandmother and granddaughter to turn their heads. Three rather large men walked in or should I say staggered in. The men looked around and finally their eyes fell on the pair.
"We need a room for the night old woman." The larger of the three said with his speech slurred.
"I have two rooms there is a bed in each, your friend may stay down here by the fire I can find a cot for him."
"Fine" He said
"I am Laurel and you are?"
"No one of importance old woman. We are passing through and nothing more." He said sharply.
"I can share her bed." The smallest of the three said as he walked towards Sapphire.
"Chane." Laurel yelled, "Get away from my Granddaughter and get out all of you." She yelled.
"Shut up you old hag." The larger one said as he closed the distance between Laurel and him. His friend moving towards Sapphire.
Sapphire took a stop back and shrieked in fear as the man came towards her. Draugrin lunged towards the man cutting off his path to Sapphire. The man stared at the huge wolf in front of him and took a step back.
Laurel took a step back from the huge man coming at her and screamed for her husband once more.
Glorfindel and Haldir bolted out the door and down the hall. Cane flung open his door and was about to step out when he saw Glorfindel's hand came out stopping him.
"Behind us and do not make a sound." Glorfindel said quietly.
Draugrin gave a harsh battle cay and lunged at the man her jaws snapping and saliva dripping from them. She was in full battle mode and nothing would stop her from protecting what she deemed as hers. The huge man turned and pulled a dagger from his hip and went to lung at the wolf.
"I would not recommend that she is faster than you think human." Glorfindel's voice rang out in the room. "She will rip your heart out of your chest if you try." The huge man looked at the elf before him and took three rather large steps back.
Glorfindel closed the distance between him and the man holding his sword out in front of him.
"Leave now human and take your friends with you." Glorfindel hissed
Haldir closed in on the man near the door who decided he would pull his dagger and move towards his friend. Haldir flung his dagger at the man and it landed near the mans head in the wall. The man turned and looked at it and took a step towards Haldir.
"You're joking." Haldir said his voice sounded more amused than angry. "You are a fool man." Haldir quickly lunged at the man and caught him by his throat forcing him back into the wall. Haldir pulled his dagger from the wall and held it to the mans neck. "Would you like to leave now?"
The man said nothing just gave a slight nod. Haldir slightly lifted the man off the ground. Looking him in his eyes. The look told the man one thing. Who ever these elves were they were not to be toyed with. Haldir held the man and looked over his shoulder at Glorfindel.
Glorfindel's tip of his sword touched the man's heart. The large man froze and looked down at where the blade was. He took a deep breath and took a slow step back. He slightly looked over at his friend pined to the wall and then the other who had an enraged wolf sitting on his chest. He looked back at Glorfindel.
"We will leave." He said his voice in a whisper of fear.
"Then go." Glorfindel hissed
The man turned and quickly moved to the door not even looking back to see if his friends had followed. Moments later the three men were out of the inn and in the streets. Haldir and Glorfindel walked out and stood at the door.
"Leave this village now and do not return." Glorfindel said crossing his arms over his chest.
The men mounted their horses and took off into the night. The two elves walked back into the inn shut the door and latched it. They smiled at the three humans standing tougher. Sapphire in the arms of her grandmother with Draugrin at her side. Glorfindel smiled glad the danger was out the door and down the rode.
"Are you ok Sapphire? Glorfindel asked.
"Yes."
"And you Laurel are you ok?"
"Yes I am fine Glorfindel thanks to you and Haldir." Draugrin placed her nose against Laurel hand. "And thanks to you Draugrin too." She said patting her on her head.
Glorfindel walked across the room and looked at the window. He looked back at Haldir and Haldir gave a nod. The two elves checked the windows and the other doors. After they found them all locked they returned to bed and Nathya.
Nathya was curled up in the bed fast asleep. Her pain had lessened in the past day, but she was still crying out often. Haldir sat on the other bed and flopped back.
"Humans." He said with a huff.
"Not all of them are bad Haldir."
"I know that Glorfindel." Haldir hissed. Glorfindel laughed and smiled at his friend. Haldir shook his head rolled over on his side. "Good night." He said
"Good night." Glorfindel said
Glorfindel sat on the bed next to Nathya. He and Haldir had been taking turns watching over Nathya. He would watch over her for the next several hours then wake Haldir. He looked down at her and watched her with caring eyes. He tucked the covers around her tighter and gently brushed her cheek with his hand.
She gave a slight sigh and turned on her side towards his touch. She slowly opened her eyes and then closed them. She grunted and then tried to move herself towards Glorfindel. Glorfindel placed a hand on her and gently rubbed her side.
"Nathya." He said
"Yes." She said her voice so low he almost did not hear her.
"Are you in pain?"
"Yes but it is not bad." She said finally opening her eyes.
She shivered as she looked up at him. He watched her expression and he knew beyond any doubts what she wanted. He tenderly ran his hand along her arm and up through her hair. She closed her eyes and melted into his touch.
"Glorfindel" She whispered
"Yes"
"Hold me." The words were so low and came so fast he almost did not understand her.
She closed her eyes tightly holding her breath not believing she had said the words. Glorfindel smiled as he slid him self next to her. Nathya felt the bed moved beneath her as he slid next to her. She felt the warmth as he reached out and took her into his arms and held her tightly.
