Ok, I am so please with the amount of reviews I have received so far. I never expected to get this many and I have only done two chapters. Here the next and I hope you all enjoy it as much as you have enjoyed the previous two.

Legolas was surrounded by darkness. He could see nothing. Pain encircled his body. His chest was tight and he couldn't breathe without a shooting pain through his back. Lifting his legs hurt, as did the rest of his body. He had never experienced any pain as bad as this one before. It felt like someone was stretching him from the inside.

Legolas lay in the dark until finally sleep released him from his painful state. His dreams were dark. What was wrong with him? What had happened? He was afraid and wanted someone one to tell him that everything was going to be all right. All his life he had tried not to be frightened by anything and this had brought him great respect. Now he broke that rule. He was more afraid now than he had ever been before.

*~*~*~*~*

Aragorn had been sitting by Legolas' side all through the night. I was now very early morning. He had sent Novavar to her room during the night, as she was in shock and very tired from the journey. There was nothing anyone could do for Legolas apart from looking through the many books in library to find the name of the poison. There were several elves, which had been doing this during the night, but no one had yet found any poison that resembled the one Legolas had been affected by.

It was almost morning when Legolas took a turn for the worst. He had stopped shaking but his breathing had become very fast as if he couldn't get enough air. Aragorn ran for Elrond straight away. He was there within seconds.

Lord Elrond took one look at Legolas and knew it wasn't good. At the back of his mind he thought that maybe this was it for Legolas. He placed a hand on Legolas' chest. Legolas let out a stifled cry. His body now began shaking even worse than it was before. Novavar sat beside him running her hands through his long blonde hair. He was wet with sweet and a few strands of hair were stuck to his face. She wiped them back talking softly to him. Telling him not to panic and that he would ok. It was almost one hour before Legolas' breathing calmed down and he was at last breathing normally again.

Elrond once again left the three friends alone and sent a hand full more elves to the library. He knew that they didn't have much time and there were a lot of books to be read. They couldn't afford to miss any and yet even if they read every word in the library they may never find what they were looking for.

*~*~*~*~*

A sharp pain in his chest woke Legolas. His head was blurred and there were smears of colour running past his eyes. He felt dizzy and although he couldn't see anything but darkness he felt like he spinning. He needed air. Needed it now. He gasped taking a deep breath, which never came. It felt like he was enclosed in a dark box and that with every breath he took he was slowly running out of air. He was going to die, he was convinced of it. All he could think about were his friends, Aragorn and Novavar, who he hadn't even had the chance to say goodbye to.

His head was growing light and he was finding it difficult to stay awake. He cried out to the darkness yet no sounds came from his dry lips. He tried once more to breathe and to his surprise he felt the cold relief of air run down his throat. He could breathe again. The coloured swirls disappeared from in front of his eyes and he could at last relax.

*~*~*~*~*

Aragorn and Novavar refused to leave Legolas' side until morning came. Only then did they take it in turns to go for something to eat before hurrying back again. Novavar brought with her a glass of water. She carefully let some of the cool liquid fall onto Legolas' lips. They were so dry.

It was hours before Aragorn could bring himself to leave Legolas again. Many times he called for people to tell him how the research was going and each time the same reply came; nothing has yet been found.

Aragorn had had enough. He had to do something and, although it meant leaving Legolas, he had to go to the library to have a look himself. He trusted Novavar to watch Legolas and to fetch him if there was any change.

As he walked down the beautifully crafted elvish corridors he noticed that everyone was very quiet. The news of Legolas' state had effected everyone in the halls very badly and they all thought about him whilst they were trying to carry on.

Aragorn headed straight for the library. As he entered, the group of elves searching the books looked up at him and gave him a smile that made him feel better. He knew that they wouldn't give up on Legolas if there was still a hope that he could be saved.

Aragorn took a pile of books off one of the shelves and sat looking through them.

Third chapter finished. Please let me know what you think of it. I appreciate any review, good or bad. Good reviews make me feel so happy and help me to continue writing; bad reviews (as long as they are constructive) help me to improve on my mistakes. Please review. Luv LegyLuva xxx
