Consequences

Chapter 10

Glorfindel decided to ride to Mirkwood himself. He didn't think anyone deserved to witness the anger of Thranduil, especially someone who didn't know what was going on. He informed Elrond of his decision and left. It would take a few days to get to his destination, and he hoped when he returned with Mirkwood's king they would receive some good news.

************************************************************************

"Gandalf, my sons have to be found" "they will be, but it has to be as soon as possible." Elrond had sent out six search parties and so far five had returned with nothing but ill reports. He only hoped the last one would not be the same.

He would not have to wait long for the last one was coming up to the gate. Elrond and Gandalf quickly left the foyer window and went to meet them.

"What information have you acquired?" the lord of Imladris asked Kementari, the leader of the search party. "We found footprints my lord. They were not on the original path we were supposed to be looking, but we'd been having no luck so we decided to go farther." "Where do they lead?" "To a camp milord, we can't be sure whose footprints they are, but definitely not an elf." the elf concluded. "Estel." Elrond said to himself. "Send out more people to scan the area" "Right away, lord Elrond."

"Finally, some good news" Gandalf sighed. "I just hope it belongs to Estel" said Elrond. "Me to, my friend, me to".

Elrond and the wizard went back into the palace to see Kementari giving orders to the people that were going to be part of the search. "Kementari, may I have a word with you?" "Of course my lord, what is it?" "Well you see, Gandalf would like to help with the search, I hope that will not be a problem." Elrond stated. "No of course not, it would be an honour to have one of the istari accompanying us."

The company was about to leave when they were interrupted by Elrond. "Search everywhere in that camp, follow every lead no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Also it has come to my attention that Prince Legolas of Mirkwood has also went missing. Look for any leads to him as well. Good luck and all speed to you." With that the companions left.

Thartel heard Aragorn's screams and went to see him. He and Laeander made their way to the Torment Area.

"Well it looks like the imp isn't as strong as the other elf" Thartel said to Aragorn. "Take him back to his cell" he ordered to the guards who had followed him. "What about him?" Laeander asked motioning to Legolas' limp form. "Get rid of it". The guards had already forced Aragorn out of the room. "But milord, he still breathes." Those words outraged Thartel.

"What, how, he should have lost to much blood by now, he should be dead" "The pulse is very weak, but there." Laeander looked worried to have to be the one to tell his boss of this news. "Fine then leave him here until he is dead."

Aragorn hadn't heard Laeander's words, so he thought that Legolas was really dead. Going back to his cell didn't help the cold feeling in his heart, for there he saw Elladan suffering. He thought that too was because of him.

**************************************************************************

"This is the camp Gandalf." Kementari had led the grey wizard and the rest of the company that consisted of about thirty individuals, to where the camp was located.

"Spread out and try to find anything that can be of assistance to us" Gandalf ordered getting nods from all the elves. They had been searching for almost an hour, when Gandalf heard Kementari call his name.

"Gandalf, look of this tree, it has blood on it and at the stump. Human blood. It also looks like there is a trail that leads that way." He pointed in the direction he was talking about." "Good job, Kementari, everyone go that way" Gandalf commanded. Everybody obeyed his order.

They all mounted their horses and made haste. "I hope we are not to late to be of assistance" Kementari commented to Gandalf. "I'm sure we won't be. I can still sense life, but it won't be there for long.

**************************************************************************

"Elrohir can you hear me" Elrond prayed that his son could. "Return to me, it is not your time to go. You are needed here, do not go to the darkness" Elrond called in hopes that Elrohir could sense someone calling him.

"Ada" came the groggy voice. "Is that you?" he asked. "Yes it is I, how do you feel?" "My heart hurts, and I feel like my blood is boiling. Am I dying?" "No my son you will be fine." Elrond hoped he wasn't lying to his son, but he couldn't tell him the truth. He couldn't tell Elrohir that his twin brother felt the same way."

Sorry its short, but I have been having writers block. R and R pleaze!!
