"Aragorn, what are you doing at my computer? Did I give you permission?"
Aragorn turned around slowly in his chair, knowing he had been caught. "I was.I was.I was just trying to uhh.uhhh..um.send you an ecard. Yea that's it, I wanted to send you a turkey card!"
"Like I am actually going to believe you!" Pearl roared back at the now cowering Aragorn. "You are supposed to be my muse, not the annoying person that is always on the computer or in the bathroom. And just what exactly do you do in there?"
"I uhhh.primp myself" Aragorn replied sheepishly.
"Well fine fine, you are forgiven. Now away from the computer and DON'T do it again!"
Aragorn stepped away from the computer, beaten.again. He went back to his little corner of the room and picked up his copy of Woman' Day and began to read from were he had left off.

To Save A Friend!
Chapter Seven:
Healing
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Run and retrieve Lord Elrond immediately!" Shouted a guard at seeing the two riders approach at an unreasonably fast pace.
A few minutes later Lord Elrond was standing waiting for the riders to reach the gates. He was unsure of what he would find when they reached, but all he knew was that the two people were none other than Aragorn and Legolas. He silently thanked the Valars for letting Legolas be returned to them.
10 MINUTES LATER
The horse was being put in the stables and they were rushing to the healing room. Aragorn gently put down Legolas on a bed and Elrond went to work, with Strider assisting. They worked for hours, setting bones, attending to wounds, and cleaning infections. As they worked, Aragorn filled Elrond in on what had transpired.
THAT EVENING
Lord Elrond and Strider were found in the eating hall when Gimlet and Vandal walked in. They all said there hello's and sat down to get a bite to eat and talk of the recent journey.
"What did you do with the girl?" Aragorn questioned Gandalf.
"We took her to the healing room, we checked on Legolas while we were there too. He seems to look better, the great healing power of the elves at work. Although, I fear how his mind and heart are, but alas we shall not know until he awakes again." Gandalf replied.
"What girl?" Elrond questioned.
"Sorry Elrond, how could I have forgotten to mention the girl!" Strider answered.
"Well do tell, do tell!" Elrond demanded. Strider told of how and where he found the girl; he told what knowledge he had of her. Gandalf also told what he had found out about her, but did not tell what he knew of her last name.
Elrond was completely interested in the girl and her name.
"You say she was a prisoner there?" Elrond asked expectantly.
"Yes." Gimli replied.
"Well, you all have told me of what you know of her, but now it is my turn." Elrond retorted.
The three looked at each other puzzled and then turned their questioning looks towards Elrond.
"What do you mean Elrond?" Asked a very confused Gimli.
"Well I will tell you what I mean. This is no ordinary girl! Her mother, Ielenia, lived here for a long time, she was on of our healers. Well, the girl was born here and was raised for only a few years here, but the father came and kidnapped her. There were tons of search parties, but the ones that made it back had found nothing. The searches went on for two years, at the mother's request, but still nothing was found. It is a sad tail actually. Two and a half years later, there was attempt made upon her life, we caught the one that had tried to kill her and he was severely punished." Elrond paused for a moment with a far off look, and then continued. "Her life was saved but that did not stop her from dying. She was so saddened at the lost of her child that she eventually faded away. Despite all I tried, I could not heal her broken heart." Elrond finished with much sadness in his voice and a tear in his eye.
The four sat there for an hour, with silence as their friend, reflecting on what they had just learned. There thoughts were only interrupted when an elf with long flowing robes ran into the room and up to Elrond.
"My Lord, he is awake!" The elf all most shouted.
They all leapt to there feet and ran after the elf towards the healing rooms.
Outside his room Elrond motioned for them all to wait outside. He entered the room and quickly went to the bed. He sat gently on the edge of the bed and took hold of the elf's hand. Legolas looked into the direction of the person who was holding his hand, but could not see who it was.
"Who is there?" Legolas questioned. He knew he was safe, he could just feel it in his hear, but where he was he did not know. For some reason his eyes refused to see, he would open them, but there was only darkness.
"It is I, Elrond, and you are safe!"
Legolas began to cry. He let out all the pain and frustration he had held in through his whole last few days. "Why can I not see?" He questioned between sobs.
"We are not exactly sure yet, but we will figure it out. Calm down now lad. You have visitors, if you wish to see them."
Legolas did as he was told and calmed down. "I do not wish to see.talk to anyone just now. Please Elrond, how is the girl?"
"Oh she is fine, she is a wild one she is. She has been up for hours, and attacking everyone with questions. She will be fine, she is requesting to see you though."
A small smile came over the sick elves face. "Elrond, how long do I have to stay in this bed? I want to be up and free again! That is something I never thought I would have again." He turned his face away, towards where he knew the window should be.
"My dear friend, you are not completely healed. You have several broken bones and many bruises. We got rid of all the infections, but it will still take a while to be fully healed, even for an elf!"
"Fine, is Strider around? I need to thank him, and to tell him sorry."
"Sorry for what Legolas?"
"Uhh.don't worry about it, it is something of my own demise." Legolas said in a small voice, as if he was a child.
"I will send him in, but then you must rest again. Understand me?"
"Yes Elrond, I will rest, but please, I must speak with him!" Legolas said pleadingly.
Elrond gave the fragile hand one last squeeze and then got up and left the room. As soon as the door was shut behind him he was bombarded with questions of Legolas's health. He quickly quieted the waiting friends and filled them in on how he was doing. He told them that Legolas was healing fine and that he would be able to get out of bed tomorrow, proving that his wounds were almost healed. He also told them about Legolas being blind, which only started up more questions. He again quieted them and explained that he had an idea of why, but it would have to wait until the elf was feeling better to find out. He continued to explain that the elf was at a very fragile state of mind right now and that he could not handle being poked and prodded right now. Elrond turned to Aragorn and told him that Legolas wishes to speak with him, but to make it quick because Legolas need to sleep.
The three left Aragorn standing outside the sick elf's door and turned to go visit there other new guest, Vina.
Inside the room, he stilled his shaking hands, afraid of giving away how he truly felt. Strider walked closer to the bed and sat on the edge. Legolas didn't even turn his head to face him when he gently grabbed the others hand.
"Legolas, how do you fair?"
"I think I will be fine, if everyone would quite fussing over me that is." Legolas responded with sadness in his voice.
"Why do you look so down my friend, you are safe now, and I am not leaving you side until I am sure you are fully recovered. I will always be close enough to help you if you need."
Legolas had tears streaking down his pale face. He spoke softly, "I. I .I thought that you were not coming for me. I thought that you had left me to die, you don't understand!" He screamed now, "I prayed for death! There was not a minute that did not pass that I didn't believe that I should die!" He quieted down now, soft sobs coming from his throat. "I am not worth the time that you give me now!" He had begun to get all hysterical again. "I deserve to die!"
"Okay now Legolas, calm down." Aragorn said sternly. "I have no idea when you gave up, but I will not let you give in. You are my friend and I will not let you fade!"
"But Arag."
"No buts! You will listen to me and you will listen good" Aragorn grabbed a hold of Legolas's chin and pulled it towards him, to face him.
"NO!" Screamed Legolas. He pulled away and tried to scrunch up into a little ball, not caring if he injured himself again. He couldn't do it again; he couldn't look into anyone's face ever again. No one should ever touch him that way!
"Woa! Legolas, what did I do? Please calm down my friend. It is me!" Aragorn reached out a hand and gently touched his shoulder. When he did not shy away, he pulled him to himself and held him there. Hugging Legolas to his chest, letting him cry until he was done. Legolas cried himself to sleep and Aragorn gently laid him down on the bed and exited the room.
The three found the room they were looking for and Gimli knocked lightly.
"Come in", said a soft voice from inside.
They opened the door to reveal a beautiful girl sitting on her bed, brushing her shimmering hair. She smiled at them as they entered. They all could tell that she had her defenses up, though.
"Hello Vina, my name is Elrond. I think that we should have a talk, I have some things to tell you about your past."
She looked at him very confused, "What are you talking about? What does the Lord of Rivendell know of a simpleton like me?" She questioned.
"Come child, let us go for a walk."
Gandalf and Gimli both told the girl their hellos and then went off into their own directions.
Elrond and Vina walked all around Rivendell until his story was complete. She was speechless and wanted to be alone for a while. They parted and she went to here room to sleep for the night. Not knowing, who or what to believe, and not knowing where she would go now with her life.
