Song For Nought

"Waenmetiel, there's something we want you to explain to us." Elrond sat Waenmetiel down in a chair and he and Glorfindel stood in front of her, blocking escape.
"What, would that be?" Waenmetiel's eyes flicked to any exits and both Glorfindel and Elrond caught this.
"Is there something you're hiding Waenmetiel?" Elrond leaned in close to her.
"What do you mean?" Waenmetiel could feel her hear pulsing and she was beginning to feel very frightened.
"Let's just make it easier for you, we know that you have been causing a lot of the problems around here lately." Glorfindel said, sounding very annoyed with her.
"I did no such thing!" Waenmetiel wasn't ready to give in yet.
"What about Nuquer and that nice spell you put on her to make her stop liking Legolas? Now why would you want to do that?" Elrond questioned.
Waenmetiel froze with fear.
"We know about that Waenmetiel!" Glorfindel was starting to feel very agitated.
"Tell us everything Waenmetiel and we might let you off easier." Elrond bargained with her.
"No!" Waenmetiel would rather die than give herself away.
"Tell is now!" Glorfindel slammed his hand down on the chair and glared into Waenmetiel's eyes, "You've been playing with to many elves here, you tell us now or we'll be forced to make you tell us!"
Waenmetiel was very frightened, never had she seen Glorfindel quite this mad, she began to wonder what the Balrog was feeling when he slayed it, if Glorfindel had the same look of utter hatred and anger in his eyes.
Elrond only stood and watched Glorfindel, not even wanting to stop him. He was glad Glorfindel was doing what he could not.
Waenmetiel took one more look around the room and bolted to the right in an attempt to escape.
Glorfindel had seen her eyes flick to the right and had predicted this action and grabbed Waenmetiel's leg as she flew over the chair.
"Nooo!" Waenmetiel screamed as Glorfindel dragged her back to the chair and threw her down in it.
"You've just proven yourself guilty!" Glorfindel raged at her.

"I'm so glad this whole thing is over with!" Maik chirped happily as she and Elladan headed towards their rooms to change for dinner. "Do you think Legolas and Nuquer will stay together?"
"I hope so. Though, they are both pretty young." Elladan smiled back at Maik and wrapped his arm around her.
"True, though some elves find their love early." Maik leaned against Elladan and beamed with happiness.
"Hey, you two love birds, where are you guys going?" Nuquer called to the two.
"We were going to change-"
"I hope not together!" Nuquer joked at Maik and ducked as Maik aimed a hand at her shoulder.
"Nuquer! Where's Legolas?" Maik asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Changing as well."
"Are you two.well, you know?" Maik was positive things were okay between the two but wanted to hear it stated by one of the two.
"Yes!" Nuquer smiled and the two girls hugged.
"I'm so glad!" Maik grinned, "Do you think Elrond caught Waenmetiel?"
"I hope so! That witch has some serious explaining to do!" Nuquer exclaimed.
Just then the three heard Waenmetiel's scream from Elrond's study.
"Guess, Glorfindel got to her." Elladan said, "He was furious about her and Haldir."
Nuquer and Maik just stood trying to see if they could hear anything else from the study.
"What are you three doing dripping wet in the hallway?" Haldir had just turned the corner.
"Um, just talking." Elladan explained. The three weren't sure what to say to him.
"Where's Glorfindel? He said he wanted to speak with me?" Haldir asked.
"He's in the study with Elrond and-"
"In the study." Maik cut off Elladan before he could say Waenmetiel, she was unsure of what Haldir knew so far.
"Thank you." Haldir smiled and left the three.
"Poor guy, he's going to be upset by this." Maik frowned.
"I'm sure he'll be ok, he only knew her for a few days." Nuquer patted Maik's shoulder and headed off towards her room, smiling the whole way.
