Finally here it is…the Faramir and Legolas fic! (loud cheers) Yay! It will be a song fic, to the song Blurry by Puddle of Mud. (My absolute favorite song, I get tears in my eyes every time I hear it.) Please review cause I worked hard on this and I want to know if you like it. The prologue will have no slash, but the first chapter will have A/L slash, (sigh). I tried as hard as possible to not have any but it didn't work. Enjoy!

"Are you sure he's here Haldir?" asked Gimli, as he drew his hood further over his head.

"Positive," murmured the tall elf, as they entered the smoke filled bar.

"Welcome to the Gray Dragon," said the fat bartender upon seeing the two enter. "What can I get for ye?"

"You can answer a few questions," said Gimli roughly, but Haldir held him back. "He won't tell us anything if we attack him Gimli." The dwarf nodded and Haldir ordered two ales.

"We haven't had too many strangers here for awhile," said the bartender. "And for that I am grateful." There was a murmur of assent from the rest of the people sitting at the bar. "Speaking of which, what brings you here anyway?"

"We're looking for a friend. His name is Legolas. Have any of you seen him?"

There was an uproar at his words. "You mean that deranged elf! Damn him and his kind. Bringing these bad times…"

Now it was Haldir's turn to loose his temper. "Care to say that again?" he hissed, pressing his sword to the bartenders throat. His hood fell back and everyone gasped at the blonde elf. "Now where exactly is my friend?"

"In the gate house," choked the man. Sheathing his sword, Haldir walked out, Gimli following.

"And you said attacking them wouldn't work…" muttered Gimli under his breath.

*************************************************************

Everything's so blurry,

And everyone's so fake,

And everyone's so empty,

And everything is so messed up,

Pre-occupied without you,

I can not live at all,

My whole world surrounds you,

I stumble then I crawl…

*************************************************************

"Stop it!" Legolas screamed as blows fell on his face. He tried to free his arms to protect himself, but he found they were chained over his head.

"You will pay for that," snarled the drunken gatekeeper unlooping a whip from over his arm.

"Please…" Legolas thought silently as the man raised the whip and brought it down on his already heavily scared back. Legolas tried to ignore the searing pain coursing through him. Gritting his teeth to keep from crying out he thought of his lover and all what they had promised each other…

*************************************************************

You can be my someone,

You could be my scene,

You know that I'd protect you,

From all of the obscene…

*************************************************************

Yes he could remember all those promises, but where was he now? Was he imprisoned, being beaten too? Legolas couldn't bear to think about that.

*************************************************************

I wonder what you're doing,

Imagine where you are,

This oceans in between us,

But that's not very far…

*************************************************************

"Good elf," said the gatekeeper. "I think I'm finally breaking you…"

And in response Leoglas's foot lashed out. Blood leaked from his nose. "How far are you gonna push me today?" he said. Legolas didn't say anything. "When I ask you a question I expect you to answer!" the man yelled and he lashed out with the whip again. There was more force behind these blows and even thinking about his lover didn't keep him from crying out. "Help! Anyone!"

And as if in answer to him, two figures rushed in, the short one knocking the gatekeeper out with the butt of his ax.

"Ax?" thought Legolas vaguely. There was only one person he knew that carried and ax. "Gimli," he said hoarsely.

"Yes it's me crazy elf," said Gimli stroking Legolas dirty blonde hair. "Don't worry Legolas. You'll be safe, I'm here. Haldir's here."

"Haldir?" asked Legolas.

"I'm here my friend," said Haldir, looking at Legolas's skinny bruised form. But after getting over the shock of seeing his friend in this state he remembered the one who had put the gentle blonde elf in this hell. "Wait till I get my hands on…" he began but at this tears and wracking sobs took over the younger elf.

"My god Legolas," whispered Gimli. "You're crying." His face fell. You had to hurt an elf pretty bad to make him cry and someone had obviously hurt Legolas. "I swear that that man will pay for…" Gimli began but he didn't want to say it in fear of making the elf more upset.

But Legolas's mind wasn't on the toruture, it was on the person who had placed him here. The person who he loved, who then fell in love with another. The person who tore him apart from his lover. The person he hated above all others….

"Legolas, what happened?" asked Haldir. "We can't help you until you tell us, what happened. We can't make Aragorn pay until you talk to us."

"Please don't say that name," whispered Legolas, but Haldir grabbed his shoulders roughly.

"Tell us how he hurt you,"

"Leave him alone Haldir!" yelled Gimli. "He's upset and confused. Who knows how long he's been here? Leave this till later!"

"No! He won't get over anything unless he tells us!"

"Stop!" yelled Legolas, and they both stared at him. "I'll tell you."

"Good," said Haldir, ripping off the hem of his shirt to treat the wounds on his friends' back.

Sighing gratefully at the cool felling that Haldir's touch brought he remembered that night all those years ago…
