CHAPTER 12
Elrond's eyes widened. He knew Erestor would sacrifice himself to save him, Celeborn, and Haldir. Elrond watched in horror as Erestor turned to Baethoriel and lowered his head.
" I will give myself to you."
Elrond shook his head frantically.
" Erestor, no. You do not have to do this."
Brethiel laughed.
" If he does not, then Lord Andro will have you."
Erestor shook his head.
" Lord Andro may have me instead."
A evil laugh was heard from behind Baethoriel.
" Erestor, such a noble elf. You would allow such harm to come to you to save those you love, those you care for?"
Erestor turned to face the elf that had stepped out from behind Baethoriel.
" Yes Hadereth, I would."
Hadereth shook his head as he looked at Elrond, then Celeborn.
" Such a noble and stupid elf."
" Now now Hadereth, that is enough."
Andro stepped into view. He grabbed Erestor and pulled him to his side.
" Since Erestor has made his decision, you are all free to go."
Andro turned to Hadereth.
" Go with Brethiel and take Lords Celeborn and Elrond as well as Haldir back to Lord Celeborn's talan."
Hadereth nodded and aided Brethiel in gathering the elves. Erestor was guided away by Andro and Baethoriel, hearing his name being screamed repeatedly. Erestor felt the tears fall from his eyes. Once this was over, when ever it was over, he could never look Elrond in the eyes again. Erestor knew this would be more than just being taken unvoluntarily, it would be much more. Andro noticed Erestor was deep in thought and grinned.
" Worry not Erestor. In only a days time, you will be just like us."
