Disclaimer:: I OWN LEGOLAS MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!ok…I don't own anything…apart from a few bucks and half a brain…whatever…

Darkness.

All darkness.

Nothing can be seen.

Nothing can be heard.

All senses gone.

Only the wind, and the bittersweet smell remains.

The smell of blood.

Blood.

Suddenly, a ring of warmth sprang up all around me.

It grew hotter.

I could feel it creeping nearer and nearer.

Warmth turned into hot, hot turned into burning.

Trapped, in a circle of fire, I felt I was going to melt.

More and more sweat dripped down my back.

All I could see through the blindfold is glowing red.

With my hands tied behind my back, I have no chance of escaping, let alone defend.

I hear footsteps, then a clang as a sword was picked up.

He walked nearer and nearer and kneeled down beside me.

He bent towards my ear, so close that his rough lips touched my delicate skin, and whispered "Legolas…my dear prince…where are your strength now? Where is that warrior who is going to defeat the dark lord? You're useless now, aren't you?"

Suddenly, a sword cut into my neck. Blood, bittersweet blood leaked out of the cut, onto my back, down my thigh. The cut was burning, he must have heated the sword in the fire. But I remained calm, fighting back the pain and tears that were flooding my eyes.

Drip, drip, drop by drop the blood fell onto the stone sold floor.

He got up, and walked around me.

"Your friends aren't here to save you now, you don't want to end up like them, do you?"

I remembered first Marry and Pippin, then Aragorn, then Gimili being dragged out of the dark dungeon, never coming back. They must have went through this too, I thought. But I'll never tell him. Never.

"Where is the ring? Where is the ring-bearer?"

I remained silent.

"There's no use in keeping quiet. If you do you'll only be tortured slowly and painfully to death."

Another cut was made in my neck.

"But if you are wise, prince, which I'm sure you are, you will tell me what I want to know and I shall reward you. You shall have power. You shall have anything and everything you want. But, if you do choose the other path, I won't be easy on you."

I remained silent. I shall never betray my friends. Middle Earth's fate now lies in my hands. I'm willing to sacrifice my life for Middle Earth now. I'll sacrifice anything.

"This is your last chance prince, be wise, come to the darkness, be powerful."

I still said nothing.

"Is that what you want? Death? Death does not come easily my prince, I'll make you wish that you weren't even born. I'll torture you until you are half living and half dead, slowly, painfully."

Another cut was made, I felt weak, the pain was unbearable.

The ring of heat suddenly disappeared.

"I have no patience for you today, prince. I have more important things to do now. I shall torture you another time. Send him away."

Several Orcs dragged me back to that cold dark dungeon and chained me up again. I made no attempt to escape, knowing too well that there is absolutely no chance and I'll only be tortured more, harder, more painfully.
