A/N: Hey! So, I don't think a lot of you were too pleased with how my last drabble ended XD so here's a part 2!
Fell Creatures
Glorfindel's eyes slowly opened.
His blue eyes looked around, taking in all his surroundings. He seemed to be lying on something comfortable, there was a pillow beneath his head, and his tunic, weapons and boots had been removed, likely to make him more comfortable.
He remembered what had happened the last time he'd woken up, so decided not to move his head too much, instead bringing his hand to his chest and fingering the many bandages covering his torso.
"Glorfindel! You're awake!"
He turned his head slightly at the excited whisper coming from behind him.
He smiled faintly as Elladan came into view. "No, I am still asleep," he said groggily, and the older twin chuckled.
"You gave us quite a scare. Eleniel has been in tears for the past few hours and Ada has only just persuaded her to sleep."
Glorfindel averted his eyes, catching sight of Elrond sitting by a tree with Eleniel curled up under a blanket on his lap, idly stroking his sleeping daughter's hair as his eyes slowly shut with his own tiredness.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About eleven hours. Ada, Feredir and I arrived back not two hours ago. Thankfully we are not too far away from home, so we should be able to get a move on tomorrow."
"Why were these fell creatures so close to our borders?" the warrior asked with a frown, groaning in pain as he shifted.
Elladan placed a hand on Glorfindel's before replying. "None of us know. But please, do not worry about that now. You must rest and regain your strength."
Glorfindel scoffed. "Surely eleven hours is enough sleep?"
The Peredhel laughed before standing up. "Sleep. Or you will have an angry lord on your tail tomorrow."
"I can deal with him," was the indignant reply, but Elladan could clearly see his eyes beginning to droop as he walked away with a smile.
