Elrohir couldn't believe it. Legolas was moving to safety and the dwarves are not even looking. He watched as Alca walked over behind some rocks, right next Legolas and heard the brothers talk lowly. He saw it all. Alca talking to Legolas, Legolas smiling, knowing he was being rescued. One thing that caught his eye was the dwarves. One of them reached for his ax, telling his friends to be quiet.
"Feaelen, come here," Elorhir whispered. He hoped he wasn't going to be to late.
"Yeah."
"I need you to pull Alca and Legolas away as I attack the dwarves. I think they have been spotted." The moment he said that, a dwarf stood up, ax in the air, and running towards Alca.
"Elves have gotten in the cave!" he yelled. He stopped inches from Alca and brought his ax down.
Elrohir and Feaelen ran as fast as they could to help. They saw Alca cover Legolas up to protect him, and Alca pulled out his own dagger. He was going to die to protect Legolas and Elrohir would not have that. As planed, Feaelen grabbed Alca by the shoulders and pulled him back, just as the ax flew down, missing Legolas foot by inches.
"Thank you," Alca said. He watched as Elrohir and Runya pulled out their bows and aim their arrows at the dwarves. He stood up and looked at Legolas. He was bruised all over.
"You elves are not allowed to be on our land. Anything and anyone in our land is ours. Including elves," Tror said.
"I think not," Elrohir said. "If you and your friends follow us outside, we will show you why we entered your land."
"I'm not taking orders from an elf!" Lorin yelled.
"Same here," the others said. They raised their axes to their shoulders, ready to fight.
"I say we kill them," Runya suggested. He never liked dwarves and when he saw what they did to Legolas and Estel, he wanted to kill them right there. Permission or not.
"No, Runya," Alca said. He walked up to the dwarves and smiled. "Adar and Lord Elrond would love to see the dwarves."
"I am not going to see Thranduil," Tror yelled. "I will die than see him."
"So be it," Runya said. He raised his arrow up and was about to let it go, when a voice stopped him.
"What do you think you will learn from that?" the voice said. Runya stopped what he was doing and a look of shook crossed his face.
Everyone in the cave, including the dwarves, turned to look at the person who spoke.
"Who dares to enter my home?" Tror asked. He had about enough of these surprise guests.
"Why Tror, you still are a demanding dwarf," a new voice said.
Tror's eyes went wide. There, standing next to Elladan and Estel was Lord Elrond and King Thranduil.
"Adar?" asked Elrohir. "When did you get home? I thought you would be home in two days?"
"So did we," Elrond said. He eyed Legolas and frowned. He saw Estel and Elladan outside. "We came home early but we will be leave again soon."
"Now, are these the dwarves that took my son and Estel?" Thranduil asked.
"Yes they are," Alca said. "They beat Legolas and hurt Estel."
"We saw."
"We had a deal, Lord Elrond," Tror said. He wanted these elves out of his cave and fast. "This is my cave. It's on my land."
"Tror," Elrond said. "Come outside with me and bring the dwarves that took the kids. We will deal with this outside." Lord Elrond turned around and walked out. Elladan handed Estel to him and followed his father, as did Elrohir.
Alca handed Legolas over to Thranduil. He was glad they showed up. If not, then these dwarves would not be here. He watched as Legolas tightly held Thranduil's neck, afraid his father would leave.
"Runya. Feaelen, come on. The dwarves will come out when ready," Alca said. HE walked after his father, his brothers right on his heels.
Tror looked his friends and nodded them to follow. He was going to get this over with so he could go back to digging up gold and gems. Once the dwarves got outside, Elrond was looking over Estel and Elladan looked over Legolas. He couldn't see much since the moon was blocked out by the trees. The wind picked up and he looked around, expecting more elves. It was only the eight elves and a human.
"I don't think tonight will be a good night to go over land," Elrond said. "I would suggest we talk to more morning. I will come and get you."
"I do not take comands from an elf. We had a deal. Do not come near this waterfall or we will kill you," Tror said in an angry tone.
"Tror," Thranduil said. "If you do not follow Lord Elronds orders, I will be force to come and get you myself."
"We will kill you then," Lorin said.
"I will see you tomorrow morning," Elrond said. He got on his horse, Estel in his arms and looked at the other elves. "Thranduil, I will have a room ready for to and your sons for tonight."
"Thank you," Thranduil said. He got on his horse, holding Legolas close to his chest. The other elves did the samething, and soon, they rode away from the waterfalls and towards home.
"Feaelen, come here," Elorhir whispered. He hoped he wasn't going to be to late.
"Yeah."
"I need you to pull Alca and Legolas away as I attack the dwarves. I think they have been spotted." The moment he said that, a dwarf stood up, ax in the air, and running towards Alca.
