Chapter 3: a glass of wine

He led me to the room where we were supposed to stay in. I saw a nice room with a table, some chairs and two beds. I was lucky, I thought. The thought of sleeping on the grund again wasn't amusing at all. Before I went to bed, he offered me a glass of wine. As naïve as I was, I took it and drank it, I didn't even taste the strange drug he had put in it. "Sleep well!", he said with an evil grin on his face. Although it was dark, I could see him smile by the light of the moon. It scared me. I obbeyed immediately and went to bed and fell asleep. I didn't even hear him going downstairs to have another drink. It was a pity it wasn't one with some kind of drug in it like he used on me, that bastard.

The next morning I woke up, The drug had done its work. I didn't remember a single thing exept that my name was Legolas and that I had to listen to that man who was sleeping on the other bed on my left, but that was about it. Ofcourse I was asking myself what was going on here, but there was something that said to me that I could better wait and see, and the answer would come by itself. So I didn't do anything and just left my thoughts alone.

I suddenly felt really hungry, probably it was that thing he gave me. I went downstairs as silent as I could so I wouldn't wake him up, you'd never know what could happen. When I was there, I asked the keeper for some food. I was suddenly asking myself if I was allowed to do this, but again, it didn't see as if I couldn't, so I just asked for it. There weren't so many people, I had it soon served in front of me and ate it hungrily.

Then, I saw another man coming towards my table and he settled himself in front of me. He had a gray cloak on, with a lot of dirt on it. And his face, it was barely visible. From the small bit I saw, it seemed as if I had seen him before. He spoke to me in a low voice: "What is an elf as you doing in a place like this? You don't belong here. And what is your name?" I responded with the thruth: "I don't know how I got here, my memory is like a fog, I can't remember anything that happened to me before. But my name is Legolas, that is one of the few things I can tell you." I heared him mutter something like: "How dared he to poison an elf like that." I didn't know if I understood correctly, but if I did, I was wondering why he said a thing like that. I didn't even know him.

You have to know, I was quite curious at that age, but then again, all elfs are curious when they are young. So I asked him what his name was, and why he was so interested in me. "My name is Strider. I have others, but it's the one I use around here, but you can call me Estel. And I am interested in you because it is unusual to find an elf in this place, like I've said before."

At that time, I heared someone coming downstairs and I looked around to find out who it was. It seemed to be my kidnapper (although I didn't remember he was 'my kidnapper'). He wanted to have breakfast, so he came to sit across me and again slapped me in the face. I then remembered me why I had to obbey him. He then yelled the following words to me, not bothered if other people could hear them: "Don't you dare to run away like that again. You'll stay in that room until I say you can go out!" The only thing I could do was nodding, and that was what I did while I hold my hand on my cheek. It was burning and it turned red.

I then remembered that Estel sat on my table, but when I looked around, I didn't see him. Maybe it was better like that, I thought.
