Celebrindal- Yup, but as you've seen nothing' can keep Glorfie. Nothin'!
Firniswin- Anyway Here is the next chapter.
Chapter 11
True Love waits
Silvery- blue sleep bleared orbs opened and connected with dim fire light. Glorfindel turned his head to see a small stack of fire wood and a bucket of water. He smiled and brought the blanket closer around his shoulders as if to stave off the cold.
Thoughts from the night before rushed through his mind, but one stuck and the words echoed through his head.
"But we think you should stay here……..here….here." Adenen's voice ran softly until it was completely masked by the chirping crickets.
The fair haired elf sat up swiftly and threw the blanket off, he stood wobbly to his feet and looked about. He was in his tent still, but near the tent flap two shadows stood on each side as if guarding something.
He practically slapped himself, they were guarding him, keeping him from escaping.
Perfect, he had endangered Adenen's and his life just to be captured again.
'Well this time will be easy.' he sneered.
Quietly he placed all the pillows from his bed underneath the blanket, making a replica of himself sleeping. Then he packed a few things into a bag and slung it over his shoulder.
Glorfindel them without moving the tent to much squeezed beneath the earth and tent. The problem was the noise it made, the scuffling of the leathery tent against the dirt and the leaves he pushed on.
But without anyone noticing him, he made himself absent from the camp grounds, the moon catching on his hair and eyes as he went.
~~~~~~
Don't push me- I'll fight it
Never gonna give in
Never gonna give it up no
~~~~~~
Glorfindel looked up at the shimmering stars. It had been two days since he had left the camp, he was weary and hungry, but he would not stop.
The tracks that he had found and followed proved that he was only an hour away from the elven soldiers. Luckily for him, no rain had come, and he was only about two hours away from his destination
His sharp eyes spotting a glinting movement on the ground, he looked closer and found it to be water.
His eyes lighted and he dove to the ground gulping down the delightful drink. It had been days since he had had ANY water. Ever since he left his tent he had been without drink and now his throat was aching and burning.
When he was done he arose from the stream, his whole face and his hair was dripping with water. He shook slightly then began to walk again.
He pushed his aching legs to go further, so he kept walking under the stars. The twinkled offering hope and reminders of freedom.

The sight before his eyes was a horrible one, he never wanted to see it again. He would rather go to Mandos's Halls again and never be allowed back.
Before him the fortress burned with a new fury, Elves stood their ground fighting against the wicked men and setting the enslaved elves free. It was a mess.
Bodies littered the once hard ground, some moaning in pain, some taking their last fateful breaths. Others already departed.
Glorfindel looked down at the plains below in horror. His eyes spotted specific friends like Elrond, Adenen, and the two generals. He smiled as he watched Adenen, he twirled his sword with expertise that made the edain look grotesque.
And Elrond looked trained, for a healer he was doing quite well. In fact better than most of his own elves.
The blonde elf started down the cliff face, his tired aching legs slipping and his good arm doing most of the work. He managed to get down to the battle field, but his arm screamed in pain. He paid it no heed.
Unsheathing his knife he ran towards the fortress, the door had been opened and now he could get in quite easily, it was getting out that might be difficult. But he would do it, and Tuilin would be right beside him.
He ran through the gate and into the building. All was going haywire, but no one even seemed to notice him. He ran right through only needing to stop and check directions a few times.
He stopped at a wooden door, it was locked. This was the room they kept the female slaves in, he knew because before he had been taken to the awful branding room, Tuilin had showed him her area in the room and had introduced him to the other elven maidens. He had then deemed her the most beautiful in the fortress. But she did not know that.
Glorfindel backed up to the wall, eyes flaring with anger. He was going to get her out! And he was going to do so NOW!
With all the rage and adrenaline he had left, the elf let it all loose. He charged the old wood door, he wasn't sure what happened but right when he hit the door, pain exploded in his arm and head. He felt himself reeling backwards, eyes closed and one hand over them to stave off the pain.
He had forgotten about his broken bones, and not to mention that he was not keenly aware of the fact that wooden doors were so strong and hurt so much when one was slammed into them.
He felt himself fall onto his rump and back against the wall, breathing fiercely.
A crash echoed in his ears but it was of no matter to him, at the moment all that he could do was sit and rub his aching head and bite down on his lip from screaming.
He was barely aware of the soft hand that grabbed his own and put it against something else soft, it was being caressed gently and his leaned his head against the wall as he let go of the pain.
Glorfindel opened his eyes and looked into the deep ones that he had been in love with ever sense that day he had come to this evil place. He smiled and gently squeezed the hand that held his.
"Tuilin." he whispered
She put a finger to her lip and spoke softly. "Shhh."
She leaned down and pressed her lips against his, and Glorfindel felt moved over with love for Tuilin. He held her with his good hand and she put an arm around his neck.
The two elves were reunited once again in the everlasting bonds of love.
