CHAPTER 12
Haldir watched as Erestor emerged from his rooms, looking a bit pale. Haldir saw that Erestor did not seem stable on his feet and began to approach him. He broke into a run when he saw that Erestor was near falling. Haldir caught him before he hit the floor.
" Erestor? Are you well?"
Erestor looked at Haldir through glassy eyes.
" I am fine Haldir."
Haldir touched Erestor's face. He pulled his hand away as though he had been burned. Erestor's skin was unusually cold.
" You are cold."
Erestor nodded, but did not reply. He allowed Haldir to help him to his feet.
" Thank you mellon nin."
Haldir felt hurt in his heart. Mellon nin? Had they not confessed their love for one another? Haldir watched Erestor walk away from him and decided to follow behind him just in case he were to fall again. Erestor stopped suddenly. He was in front of the door to his rooms. Haldir's eyes widened in horror as Erestor wretched violently on the ground in front of him. Haldir ran to Erestor's side, patting his back. He opened the door to Erestor's rooms and rushed Erestor to the bathing chamber. Erestor continued to wretch. Erestor stopped for a moment ands looked at Haldir.
" Leave me be."
Haldir shook his head.
" You are ill Erestor. I will not leave you."
Erestor attempted to scoff, but ended up coughing instead. He got control of himself and shook his head.
" I am not ill, Haldir. I am fading because of Hadereth and Brethiel."
TBC...
