Hatred and Revenge
At first I want to apologize that it took me so long but I had a blockade in my head. I couldn't write further because I had absolutely no idea. Finally the muse came back to me and the chapter is finished.
Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers:
LegolasLover2003: Thanks!
Imbefaniel: I hope you are better now.
Luthien Tinuviel: And there will be another...
Marshmallowz: sorry that it took me so long...
Elladan: Thanks for reviewing!!!
X Moonchik: I hope that too.
Ice Demon: Gwann-Agar wanted to rape him.
Shauna: I think the story will end soon. The bad thing is that you have to choose a title before you write the story and I have no idea why I have used this title...
Earendilstar: Thanks for all that reviews... Sorry for your loss...
Pure luck: There is much from Legolas in it this time...
Imbefaniel: That's good to hear...
Shea: ...
Cowgirl: Is the snow still there or is spring slowly coming??? Here it is really nice. Today the sun was shining and it was really warm.
Andmetwen: Thaaaaaaaaanks! That is what I like to hear.
Pippin-n-Legolas: Where are you going???
Celesta Hellewise Harman: Thanks for these compliments... I'm blushing already...
Tenshiamanda: Thanks!
Emerald Queen: This chapter is full of them.
Judy Greenleaf: that's good... then it was right what he had done... I wasn't sure if he should kill them but then again if they are dead I can't use them for an other story... ;)
Aragorn-is-the-coolest: Thanks! And sorry that it took so long...
Trinitytheshedevil: Nooooo... don't believe that. I swear I will write it to the end.

Part 23
---------------------------------
The sun was standing high above the thick roof of leaves. Asfaloth still rode fast along the small paths without missing a step. Glorfindel hoped that they would be soon out of Mirkwood in that pace. He feared not only for Elrohir but for Aragorn too. Glorfindel knew that humans were strong but then again much less strong than elves. He didn't think of his own wound but the weakness crept slowly into his body.
Glorfindels head shot up and he noticed that the sun was already vanished from the sky and darkness fell over the wood. Glorfindel dazed off again until a faint voice tore him out of his daydreams.
It was Aragorn who shifted dangerously from side to side. Glorfindel tried to shook him out of his dreams before he would fall from the horse. Illness had taken over his friend and the elf knew how deadly this could end.
"Noro lim Asfaloth!" Glorfindel was wide-awake with the turn of event and tried to reach the end of the forest until the next morning would come.

Legolas woke up, again in the white chamber. He could only remember pieces of his visit by Elladan. He couldn't remember how he came back into this room and that worried him. The pain was barely noticeable because of the healing herbs. Legolas had no idea how long he was out but another worry came into his mind. What happened to Aragorn and Elrohir? Legolas had had nor the time to ask Elladan such a question neither the mind. He didn't even know if they could escape this dark place. A shudder ran through his body and he tried to forget the things that floated his mind.
A faint knock ripped him out off his thoughts. Thankful for this distraction Legolas sat up. The elf didn't wait for an answer what told Legolas that he wasn't the first time in his room and that the knock was only that Legolas knew that he would come in.
Legolas didn't know this elf but he had seen him before. His mind couldn't say him where. "Mae govannen! I'm glad to see you awake again. We feared that you would leave us but your spirit is strong." - "Were my wounds that serious?" The other elf closed the door and sat on a chair near the bed. "Yes they were serious but there was something else running through your body. Our healers had problems to find what illness claimed you. Finally after one day you started speaking in your dreams. We could hear a few names. They were elvish but dark names. Gwann-Agar, Gwaith and Dînnaeg; we searched in our library but we found nothing."
The elf made a pause. "The only person who could help us was Galadriel. She was there when the blood of Feanor was strong. Morgoth used exactly this strength. She couldn't tell us what happened but she told us about a beverage that could turn elves from good to evil. That was exactly what you had in your body." Legolas could only stare in front of him. There was so much he couldn't understand. It was like a puzzle and the main pieces were lost. A memory shot in his mind. Dînnaeg had forced him and Aragorn to drink. "It is a rare substance remaining from Morgoth. One of the components is orc blood but we don't know what else is in it." - "I can remember it. We were forced to drink something and it tasted like blood."
"Who else?" - "Aragorn but if it is only bad for elves than it wouldn't harm a human." The elf looked at the floor and then back at Legolas. His eyes showed the answer and it wasn't a good one. "To be honest I don't know. It could be much less strong or it could be much more stronger I don't know. We have to less experience with this thing." - "How is Elladan?" Legolas wanted to change the theme. He didn't want to think at a dying Aragorn.
"He is much more better. Thanks to the fast healing abilities of elves his blood is nearly regenerated. He was awake this morning but he is still exhausted."
Legolas had still one question that had no answer yet. "How long was I out?" He didn't want to hear it. "Two days and a half." Legolas had the urgent feeling to stand up and walk around. He felt so weak lying all the time in bed.
"Can I walk around?" - "Yes but not long. Your legs are still healing. Your clothes are lying on the table, together with a little bit food and water." The elf stood up, he could feel how much Legolas wanted to stand up. "I'm glad I met you prince Legolas." - "Only Legolas..." Legolas looked up but the elf was already gone.
Legolas thought about the information he got. Suddenly another memory came into his mind. The day they were rescued. The elf, he was there, fighting against the orcs. Legolas felt stupid not to have remembered earlier. He hadn't even thanked the other elf.
Legolas had finished dressing and limped out of the door. No one was there. He remembered in which room Elladan lay and limped the corridor along.
* * *
Glorfindel could see the Misty Mountains. They seemed so near. Asfaloth crossed the Great River. Glorfindels vision got blurred the last thing he saw before he blacked out were three riders coming in a fast pace in their direction. Then he slipped off his horse and landed on the earth. Asfaloth stopped, stepping between Glorfindel and the riders.
* * * Legolas opened the door and entered the room. Elladan was awake and sat upright in his bed. Legolas limped as fast as he could and accepted the outstretched arms from his friend. They shared the embrace for a long time until Legolas loosened it. "I feared that you might die." - "I had the same fears. They only told me how you were but every time it wasn't good. I never lost hope because I know how strong you are."
Legolas looked back to Elladan. "Could they escape?" Legolas asked this question the first time. Elladan looked away, his eyes full of pain and sadness. "I don't know. They said that I should take you and run. I could here them cry to each other that they should run off but... I don't know. I think they are still alive. I know that Elrohir is still alive."
Legolas felt relief. He knew how strong the bond between the twins was and he knew that Elladans feeling was right when it was about his brother. "I hope they are all right."
