Welcome to my newest reviewer, D-Angel 16! The plot bunnies say hi too!!! Thanks for your kind words! Here is the next part….
Chapter 8--Unknown Location
When Legolas woke up he feared he was blind for a moment then he realized it was just dark. He sat up, relieved to find that he wasn't bound and waited for his eyes to adjust. Finally they did and he could see he was locked in a small room. All that was in it was the cot he was sitting on, a rickety table and a chair. There was a single window, but it was covered with wooden shutters. He went to the door and tried it, not surprised to find it locked.
(LEGOLAS!!) Jaisia mind voice thundered.
Legolas jumped. (Ah, Jaisia!! Do not do that!! ) he said.
(Thank the heavens you are safe!! I was so worried. We have guards looking for you everywhere. Can you tell us where you are? ) Jaisia asked.
Legolas looked around. (In a room) he replied.
(That is not much help) Jaisia said.
(I know, but I was drugged when I was brought here) Legolas replied. (Can this mind link lead you to me?)
(No, but we will find you--be brave little brother). Jaisia said. Her mind voice faded away.
Legolas returned to the bed and stretched out on it, hands folded on his chest and waited. Someone would show up sooner or later. He had almost dozed off when he heard a key in the lock. He turned his head toward the door, but didn't get up.
Two people entered the room; one carried a candle. They wore long, loose robes and their faces were masked. "So you have finally awoken," a man said.
Legolas blinked his eyes until he was used to the light. "Why have you brought me here?" he asked coldly.
"Arrogant like all your kind, I will soon fix that," the man said.
"Better men than you have said that, now why have you brought me here?" Legolas demanded.
"You are worth a lot of money, the king will pay well for your safe return," the man said.
Legolas stared at him for a long minute then surprised both his captors by bursting out laughing. I was certain it was that bastard Darrin, but it is only a kidnapping, he thought.
Both his captors were staring at him like he'd lost his mind. "What is so damned funny, elf? You do understand your position, we will kill you if the money is not paid," the man said. "This is no laughing matter."
Legolas just laughed all the harder. Somehow the comment made it seem all the funnier. "Depends on your point of view, human," he gasped.
The man decided to ignore him. "We have sent the note to the castle with the centaur charm you were wearing as proof, hope that Elessar cooperates or you will die," he warned grimly and they left, taking the candle.
Finally Legolas regained his composure. (Jaisia? Can you hear me?) he said.
(I hear you, what is wrong?) Jaisia asked.
(Nothing, I have just met my captors, they want ransom) Legolas said.
(Is that all?) Jaisia asked stunned. (Hey, did you get a look at then?)
(Nay, both wore long robes and masks, he said they had sent a note to the castle with my amulet as proof) Legolas replied. (How much time has passed since I was abducted?)
(Three hours, I will go back to the castle and check to be certain the note was sent) Jaisia said.
Legolas laid down again. There was nothing else to do. He had to wait to see what would happen. Perhaps he would think of a way to escape before the ransom was to be delivered. He knew Aragorn would pay, but he didn't want him to have too if he could help it…..
All done, more to come soon!! Thanks for reviewing!!! Keep doing it, please? R/R!!!!
