Bait for the heir of Gondor

by YukitoK

not l/a slash AT ALL! Pip and Legolas are taken capture by Saruman. Takes place durring Two towers. Some mild Legolas torture. Saruman is trying to lure Aragorn to him, hence the title. But again not a L/A buy you can take it that way if you want

3. Chapter 3

Hey chapter 3 is ready! Am I good or what? Rock on. Anyway, I don't own Lord of the Rings and yeah so that's all I have to tell you, except I may just have to kill Legolas in this one (not perminatly of course) and "Legolas' Song" will hopefully get up here soon (that's my other lotr story).

So here goes nothin'

"Saruman? You are Saruman?"

"Yes I am. And who are you?"

"Peregrin Took."

"Pippin, say no more," Legolas said. "We cannot trust him, he is now a fell creature." Legolas cried in pain and his back arched.

"Stop!" Cried Pippin, "Please stop! You are killing him!"

"No I am not. I need him."

Legolas screamed. Saruman waved his hand and the elf relaxed back into the bed with a groan.

Pippin sped to his side and ran a hand over the elf's fair forehead.

"He has a fever. What have you done to him?"

The Istari smiled madly at him, "Nothing that will kill him any time soon. He is to act as a lure. I need him for now, at least, ill and in pain. Both of you would draw him quicker so I would advise you to hold your tongue Peregrin Took. You have come to Isengard. This is Orthanc and I would caution you against any hope of escape for I could fell you with a thought. I know all that goes on within these walls."

"Why are we here?" Pippin asked, "What value or porpoise could we possibly serve for you?"

"If you think that your pathetic lives hold any worth to me, you are sadly mistaken. You are only a means to an end. Bait, as it were."

"Bait? Bait for who?" Pippin asked.

"The heir to the throne of Gondor," Saruman said in a deep, grim voice.

"Who?" Pippin asked.

"He will not come," Said Legolas serenely, staring at the ceiling.

"I think he will," said Saruman.

"If he comes, he will come with a whole host of men. And though Pippin and myself maybe destroyed so will you. And you will have no one to cast blame upon, save yourself," Legolas said.

"I am not afraid of men," said Saruman.

"Then possibly you would like to know that Mithrandir is alive and with Aragorn. He is no longer Grey, he is White, and far more powerful than you, as he always was," said Legolas.

"How could you know these things?"

"I can feel his the presence of his Maiar, and see it in my minds eye. Olorin [that's Gandalf's real name] has returned and you WILL fall."

"Silence!"
