Song For None
~
Elladan, Elrohir, and Maik ran all through the night into late into the following day before taking a brief break.
~
Nuquer was taken into a nicely furnished room which its only window was bared and impossible to escape from, even if one did break through the bars they would have an immensely long drop to the bottom of a chasm laced with razor sharp rocks.
The men unbound Nuquer's feet and ankles and left her alone in the room, sitting on the large bed.
"This is not good." Nuquer slammed her fist into the bed and strolled over to see for herself what was out the window.
"Go figure." Nuquer sighed when she saw the chasm and it's not so friendly rocks outside.

Brea settled down, once again, into his usual chair by the dim fire. His first hand man, Umym, was seated across from him.
"Captain, what's the point of having the girl in that room?" Umym asked slightly puzzled.
"The elf-boy, Dimlond, will tell us anything to save her. I saw his concern for her both times I had them together." Brea answered as he threw another piece of wood into the fire, which ignited instantly, filling the room with a warm glow.
"Why do all that?" Umym was still not getting the full idea behind Brea's master plan.
"You idiot! I have the girl, who the boy obviously cares about. I keep the girl away from the boy and the boy gets worried about her. He hears her screaming every now and then he gets even more worried. He soon breaks and tells us who and where the princes are!" Brea got excited every time he talked or thought about his plan, it was genius!
"Why not just torture the boy-elf?" Umym was still confused.
"Elfes are trained to withstand the pain and never tell information to captors, he'd die before he gave out that kind of information, but we get to him through the she-elf." Brea explained to Umym.
"I still don't get it." Umym was extremely thick-headed.
"Nevermind, just go give our prisoners there food." Brea shook his head and waved Umym off.

Legolas sat in his cell worrying about Nuquer. He couldn't imagine what the men were doing to her right now.
He felt the anger rising up in him again from not being able to do anything about his situation.
Just then the little slot under the door opened.
Legolas raced over to the door and grabbed the hand of them man pushing his food in.
"Where is she?!" Legolas demanded yanking the hand farther into the slot.
The man outside let out a small gasp of pain and pulled against Legolas's grip.
"Tell me and I'll let you go!" Legolas hissed at the man pulling the man's hand farther into the door. The man's flesh was being scrapped off by the sharp edge of the frame.
"On the first floor, next to the dining room, the door with the iron on the outside!" The man whispered in a hurry.
"What are they doing to her!?" Legolas pulled again at his hand and the man yelped, "I don't know!"
Legolas let go of the man realizing there was nothing more he could really gain from the questions. The man slide the food in and left in a hurry.
That's when Legolas realized he should have asked the man what he, Nuquer, and Ven were wanted for.

Elrond's guards and messengers were out and searching only the women and a few others were left in Rivendell.
Vebor and Elrond were standing out on one of Elrond's many balconies when Elrond spotted three young elfes coming towards his house in the distance.
"Is that my sons?" Elrond asked Vebor to make certain.
"I believe so, lord." Vebor turned and ran down the steps to greet the elfes.
"Vebor!" Elrohir shouted glad to see someone who could help.
"Young princes, where have you been?! And where are Nuquer and Legolas?!" Vebor ran aside the elfes as they ran towards Elrond.
"They were captured, we think it's the same man that took Ven!" Elladan said.
"We need to gather some guards and go help them!" Maik stopped running when Elrond greeted them at the bottom of the stairs.
"Father!" Elladan hugged Elrond and stood back, "We need to help our friends as soon as possible!"
"We will, we need to retrieve some guards though! I sent them all to search!" Elrond said, worriedly.
"The men are in the Misty Mountains we believe!" Elrohir added.
"Alright, we'll find some of my men and they will find them, you three go rest and regain your energy and we can talk later." Elrond ordered to the three.
Elladan was about to protest but a look from Vebor warned against it.
