CHAPTER 11
Celeborn had sent Haldir and his brothers to Mirkwood with a message. It had seemed odd to him and Elrond that they had not received word From Erestor. At first they had thought that perhaps they had been too busied, but when Elladan and Elrohir had returned with those that had escorted Erestor, they knew immediately that something had happened. Elrohir confirmed their fears when informed them of what had happened to Saelbeth. That had been nearly a week ago.
**FLASHBACK**
Elrohir had to leave after he had given the message to Erestor and the King. Elladan had been waiting for him, urging him to make haste. They had ridden for a while, stopping to set up camp. Elrohir had felt horrible about leaving Erestor behind, but he had insisted. Legolas promised Elrohir he would use their farspeaking bond if anything should happen. Elladan and Elrohir, along with the rest of the Imladris envoy rode on. Elrohir looked to the sky and saw that the 12 hours were up. He prayed silently to the Valar that Thranduil and Erestor had found Saelbeth. His heart filled with dread as he could hear Legolas in his mind.
~Elrohir nin?~
~I am here seron vell. Did they find him?~
He could hear the heartbreak in his beloved's voice.
~They...got there too late. Those horrible elves harmed him greatly..They know not if he was taken or not..~
~ Oh, Legolas. Do not cry meleth nin. Should I come back?~
~No Elrohir, continue home. I will assist my Ada and Erestor.~
Elrohir could feel the tears streaming down his face as Legolas left his mind. He felt his brother's hand on his shoulder. Elladan looked at Elrohir and knew right then that something had happened to Saelbeth.
**END FLASHBACK**
XXXXXXXX
Haldir and Rumil walked into the Healing Halls of Mirkwood, while Orophin spoke with Legolas. Thranduil and Erestor sat there holding each of Saelbeth's hands. Thranduil had been spared having to discuss what had happened with Saelbeth, for Legolas had informed them. Haldir and Rumil lowered their heads, trying not to cry as they saw how broken Saelbeth looked. Erestor held Saelbeth's hand tightly.
"You will not leave us meleth nin."
