A/N: Yes, I'm still alive. For all who wish to know what happened, well one
thing is a MAJOR case of writer's block. Second is a trip to Roswell, New
Mexico (It ROCKED!!!!). Third is a bizarre occurrence of family problems.
But without further ado I'd like to give you chapter 7!
This chapter is dedicated to Rhonda, for her VERY persuasive efforts in getting me to write. *hands her a plate of brownies with chocolate frosting* Thanx!!!!!!!!
Oh, and one more thing! For everyone who has asked if Forgive and Forget is over, yes it is. 'Owari' is Japanese for 'The End'. (I think) Sorry for the confusion! And thank you for giving Forgive and Forget 50 reviews!

[Chapter 7]
From his spot under the log, Estel awoke from the loud, sharp clings and clangs of a battle behind him. In his current state, all he could see were the blurry outlines of plants, soil, and little pebbles. He tried to stand up but the fever that ravaged his body and the venom that seared his leg made all but impossible for him to so.
But Estel was not one who gave up so easily. Using all the strength he could muster, he pulled got up to his feet, using the log to steady himself, and saw an elf. Dan? No, Ro. It was Ro, lying on his back with nothing to protect him and a blurry figure standing over him with a drawn bow. Once again blinking out the blurriness he looked.
.and saw his nightmare
It was what had littered the battlefield with its sickening corpse. It was what had given off that rotten stench that he would always remember. It was what had made him terrified in his dreams and reality. It was what continued to haunt him to this day. It was what killed his mommy and daddy. It was what he hated. It was pure evil sent from the depths of hell.
And it was about to kill his beloved brother.
Running on pure adrenaline, Estel quickly grabbed the dagger in his boot and called out to the orc. "Hey! Ugly! Over here!"
Surprised, the orc turned to Estel only to receive six inches of metal through his jugular vein. The lifeless body then collapsed onto the ground. Estel was smiling broadly, happy to kill his parents' murderer.
Unfortunately, his adrenaline rush had dissipated, leaving his body even weaker than before. His last sight was of Ro, holding his shoulder, and running toward him. But he could've sworn that in the background he saw a bright light.
~*~
"Estel! Estel!" Elrohir called out to his unconscious brother. "Estel! Wake up, please!" He felt for a pulse and found one. It was very faint, almost unnoticeable, but it was still there. Elrohir also check the snakebite and saw it had manifested itself into a swollen mass of puss, blood, and gore. Estel had to get to Rivendell, and fast.
However, it wasn't easy to pick up Estel with only one arm. It took nearly ten minutes before Elrohir could successfully hold Estel without dropping him in one arm. By then the boy was in deep unconsciousness with a complexion that could rival snow and a body temperature that could outdo the sun.
So, the tired twin raced as fast as he could toward Rivendell before it was too late.
~*~
"Thank the Valar! I'm finally home." Elladan muttered as Rivendell came into view. Right now his right leg was throbbing madly and his left leg was spasming like crazy from all the weight he had put on it. All he wanted now was to curl up in bed and sleep for millennia. But despite his wish, he knew he had to tell his father about what happened. So he kept limping forwards.
~*~
Lord Elrond couldn't take much more of this. It had been too long since Glorfindel and his scouts had left. He was just about to leave and go search for Estel himself when he caught sight of his eldest son outside, limping towards the house. More surprising to the elf lord than the fact Elladan was not due until two weeks from now was his appearance. Other than his right ankle-which had swelled up to three times its normal size-he had blood, sweat, and grime all over his once-clean clothes, several cuts, and a few bruises.
He raced down and met Elladan one foot from the door before he collapsed. "Elladan! What has happened? Where is your brother?" Elrond asked.
Before he passed out from exhaustion, he muttered, "W-With Estel. Y-You must h-help him. I'm afraid he...will not last much.longer." Then he passed out and left Elrond in suspense, for he did not know if he meant Estel or Elrohir.
~*~
'Just a little further. Just a little further. Just a little further.' was the mantra Elrohir kept telling himself as he trudged onward. Every so often he would stop and check Estel's pulse to make sure he was still alive. But due to the elf's dismay every time he checked it seemed to get weaker and weaker, just like him. His left shoulder was hurting because of his smashed collar bone, and his right arm was hurting because of Estel. His back, neck and head were also hurting because the painful fall he took when the orc tripped him.
Just when he thought he could take no more, he heard a horse. Looking towards the source he saw a beautiful white stallion. But it wasn't the horse he cared about; it was the rider on it.
"Glorfindel!" he cried out.
Glorfindel galloped towards him and dismounted once he was close enough. "Elrohir! What happened? You're supposed to be long gone from here. Where is Elladan." Glorfindel then caught sight of Estel. "Valar! Estel! What happened to him?!"
"He was bitten, by a snake." Elrohir replied.
"Take my horse. Go to Rivendell."
Elrohir obeyed. As he was leaving, Glorfindel silently prayed the young boy would survive.
