Title: Hope and Despair
Rating: ummm about PG-13 for violence and angst.
Disclaimer: Eh, don't feel like it!
A/N: Well this a first. Rhonda's first fic and my first co-authored fic. Hope everyone enjoys, feedback is always welcome!
Please Note: Much like Cassia and Sio, we feel that when Tolkien said that Aragorn was "raised in the house of Lord Elrond" he meant that Estel grew up in Rivendell with Elrond as his father and the twins as his brothers. Also in this fic (again like Cassia and Sio) we feel that Aragorn's mother died along with Arathorn, and she has no place in this fic.

Chapter 6
~*~*~*~*~*~*
The broken elf lord placed his hand over his youngest son's heart in despair. How would he deal with the loss of his youngest son? Especially so early in life?
Then Elrond felt something under his fingers that made his heart soar with hope. A heartbeat, Estel's heartbeat to be more specific.
It was weak and erratic, but it was there, perhaps there was still hope for them all.
Elrond then turned to the twins and stated, "He still lives, but only just. We must make with all speed back to Imaldris, there I have the proper herbs to heal him. Bring Thaynes with us Elladan, and be swift, Estel's life hangs in the balance, Noro!"
With that Elrond scooped up the ruined body of his youngest son and dashed out of the shack with all the speed he dared. He could not run for fear that he would hurt the boy further.
Elrohir rushed after his father keeping his eyes on his little brother the whole time.
Elladan glared down at Thaynes with a look of utter disgust. He then picked up the unconscious elfling, taking no time to be gentle about it, and raced after his father and his brother, silently vowing that Thaynes would pay for all the pain he put Estel through, and that he would truly suffer if Estel..... No he wouldn't even think that! Estel would make it!
All of the elves sent their own silent prayers to the Valar to keep Estel with them. They all knew that this return home would be one of the longest of their lives.
~*~*~*~*~
All Elrond could think of was getting Estel back to Imaldris. His entire mind was filled with Estel, monitoring his condition and thinking of what he could do for him once he got him back to Imaldris.
One small part of his mind registered that both of his sons were following him and that Elladan had done as he asked and brought Thaynes with them. Thaynes.. Elronds countenance darkened at the thought of the elfling. That young one was in for it as soon as Estel was on the mend. Elrond sighed, he hated to cause Thaynes' parents the heart break of losing their child to banishment but Thaynes deserved no less, his actions defied elf laws and the code of decency that all elves lived by.
Lord Elrond was thrown out of these thoughts by a soft moan from Estel. He looked down at the boy. 'How could he be conscious?' Elrond wondered to himself.
Just then Estel arched up and began twitching and convulsing, all the while moaning in pain. Elrond was forced to stop and set Estel on the ground. "Ada what is wrong with him?" Elrohir questioned fearfully as he and Elladan both froze in their tracks. Fear for their little brother shone in their grey eyes.
"I know not my sons." Elrond stated. Just as he finished his sentence Estel went limp. All three elves paled and Elrond's hand flew to his son's chest to check for his heart beat. He found none. Estel was not breathing and his heart had stopped.
The twins read this in their fathers eyes, and their fear escalated. In his concern for Estel Elladan completely forgot what he was doing and dropped Thaynes. The elf landed with a *thud* on the hard forest floor, but the twins payed no attention. All their focus was on their little brother who was trying to leave them.
They both knelt beside the young boy ready to aid their father in any way they could.
Elrond closed his eyes and concentrated completely on his youngest. The little one was still not breathing and his heart was still. Elrond began calling for him, calling him back to the light silently. Telling him that it was not yet his time to leave them.
This got no response from Estel. One minute passed, nothing.
The twins were holding their breath as well, both praying for their father's succeed, for they knew what he was trying to do.
Two minutes, still nothing.
Elrond began to become frustrated. It wasn't working. Tears poured down the mighty elf lord's face. Estel could not leave them, he didn't think he could handle that.
Three minutes, Estel was still limp and lifeless.
Elrond would not give up, he could not give up. He continued to call Estel back to the light. He put everything that he had into trying to heal Estel.
Four minutes, still nothing.
Tears ran down Elladan and Elrohir's faces. It just couldn't be true! Estel could not be dead!
Five minutes, Estel still did not stir.
All the elves closed their eyes in defeat.
*gasp* Estel took a huge breath of air.
The twins sagged leaning on each other to keep from falling on their backs on the ground.
Elrond sighed in relief. Estel had come back to them, now how long he stayed depended on how quickly they made it to Imaldris. Elrond's face set itself in grim determination, they would make it in time. He quickly picked up his precious burden and set out for Imaldris once more, the twins on his heels, with Elladan having to run back quickly and pick up a forgotten Thaynes.
TBC.........
Well see, that wasn't too bad a cliffie was it!! Ok, so it wasn't exactly not a cliffie it wasn't too bad.
*looks around at angry crowd*
ok, so maybe you think so
*once again grabs Rhonda's hand and flees*
is it safe to come out?
Well here we are again!!! Hope you guys like this chapter!!! Don't kill us!!! Hehe,
