Bleed for Me

By Siren

Hey guys! I'm so glad that you liked my last chapter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Astaider, Hodoer and I decided to meet at night in the library. It took some pleading on my part, but I was able to get my maid to get me a black tunic and black leggings. All I needed now was a ski-mask and I could look like some creepy commando. Oh well, since that wasn't possible, I simply gathered some soot from the fireplace in my room and smeared it on my face. Now I look more like some creepy stalker/street urchin. Eh, it'll do. I grab a cloak, wrap it around me, and leave my room. I stick to the shadows, wary of Aragorn's guards. Thankfully none of them are elves, so I won't have to worry about their fantastic hearing or eye-sight.

I walk up to the two oak doors and push them open, cringing when it makes a creaking sound. Please don't let the guards hear me! Let them go and get drunk and compare the lengths of their swords or something! Hearing nothing, I walk into the library and shut the doors behind me. When I hear the doors click shut, I turn around. The library is dimly lit by torches, a fireplace, and some lanters. All in all, very creepy. "Astaider? Hodoer?" I whisper their names into the creepy library and hear my voice echo off the walls.

"Siren, over here!"

I jump at Hodoer's voice, and make my way to the back. Sure enough, my two friends are seated at the long wooden table, a map spread out in front of them. I lift an eyebrow and sit down. "What's with the map?" Hodoer places a lantern on the table, shedding some meager light on the parchment. "It's a map of the castle. Astaider managed to get it from one of Aragorn's council members." I lift an eyebrow and smirk at Astaider. "You flirtatious blonde," I tease. The elf in front of me simply smiles and tosses her blonde hair over her shoulder. " 'Twas nothing." Yeah, I bet. Hodoer clears her throat in annoyance and my attention snaps back to her.

"As I was saying, the advisors' chambers are on the second floor in the west wing. It doesn't specify which room belongs to which advisor, so we'll have to check them all. Once we find Olos, we'll have to get him back to this library. The doors are thick enough so that if he should shout, it wouldn't be as loud. Now, about the security. There are usually ten guards patrolling each wing, and there could be more depending on if Olos has personal security of his own. Because the guards are human, we should be able to get to Olos's chambers with ease as long as we are quiet."

I grin and clap. "You are too good at this, you know that?" Hodoer smiles and shrugs. "It's a gift." I pick up a torch and start to move back to the door. "What are you doing?" Hodoer hisses. I blink and turn around. "I'm going to interrogate an evil elf." The brunette rolls her eyes and takes the torch from me. "If you bring this torch you'll basically become a huge signal for the guards. Astaider and I will lead you through the darkness if your human eyes cannot." My mouth forms a small 'o'. "Oh. Thanks." Hodoer rolls her eyes again, and mutters something along the lines of 'silly teenagers'.

Now that my nice torch was taken away, I follow the elves out of the library and back to the main hall. "Um, guys? How are we going to lead Olos to the library?" Astaider is the one to answer. "I shall simply ask him to escort me to the library." I nod. So she's basically going to to play the 'damsel in distress' routine. Nice. Hodoer stops walking and presses against the wall. I frown and look at her, but she presses a finger to her lips and shakes her head. After a moment, a guard passes by our hallway, not even stopping to look. Gah, the security hear is terrible! I'll have to tell Aragorn about it after this.

Once the guard is out of hearing range, Hodoer leads the way to the stairs. The elves' footsteps don't make a sound, the lucky ducks. I try to be as silent as possible, even to the point of holding my breath. When we reach the second floor, I'm amazed to see the many different hallways branching out from this one spot. "Where do we go? Hallway number one, two, or three?" I whisper. Hodoer frowns and puts her hands on her hips. "Try to be silent," she whispers. My eyes widen and I nod. "Right, sorry." Astaider smiles and tries to hold back a giggle. We end up going down hallways number two, Hodoer leading the way.

After a few minutes, the theme to 'Mission: Impossible' starts playing in my head. "Bum, bum, bum, bump bump," I hum. hodoer shushes me again, and I can't help but pount. That theme song can be very inspiring you know! Soon I begin to see the outlines of several doors, each beautifully crafted out of mahagony. Wow, the advisors seem to get some nice treatment. Hodoer points to me, and than to a door, and does the same to Astaider before moving to a door of her own. Ah, that must be code for 'look in the room'. I turn the knob and push the door open softly before poking my head into the room. Hmm...nice.

There are several dressers and armoirs, a balcony, and a huge four-post bed in the center. Note to self- when I graduate high school, become an advisor. Seeing the form snuggled up in the bed, I bite my bottom lip to keep from giggling. Once I'm certain that he's asleep, I step into the room. I make my way over to the bed and stand over him. The covers are covering his face, and I take the satin material in my hand. Biting my bottom lip again, I start to pull it back slowly and carefully. The man in the bed lets out a snort and I yelp and jump back about ten feet.

Seeing him shift on the bed, I do the first thing that comes to mind. I dive under the bed and start praying. Go back to sleep! I shut my eyes tightly, praying that he doesn't wake up. "Come back Margie...don't run away from your shmoopy-poo..." I clap my hands over my mouth to keep in a laugh, and snort instead. 'Shmoopy-poo'? What the hell? I hear the bed creak as he settles and goes back to sleep. I slide out from under the bed, and stand up. Well, he's certainly not an elf, which means he's not Olos. Damn. Letting out a soft sigh of disappointment, I walk over to his dressers. "Bored, bored, bored," I whisper. I pull one draw open, and glance inside.

...what the fuck? I pull out black, lacey thong and hold it up to the moonlight. Tell me that I'm not holding a black thong. I didn't even know that they made thongs in Middle Earth! Lifting an eyebrow, I glance over at the bed. "Shmoopy-poo, you are one fucked up guy," I say and drop the thong. What else does Shmoopy have in here? I pull out a few more thongs, and frown when my hand comes in contact with something. I pull it out, and my eyes widen. It's a back corset and garter belt. What in the world...? I drop the item of clothing and open up the next draw. I pull out a pair of shackles, leather restraints, and a coiled up whip. Holy shit. "Shmoopy, you are one kinky bastard," I whisper.

"Siren!"

I turn around at the harsh whisper, and see Hodoer at the door. I hold up the items and grin. "This guy's into kinky stuff," I say. Hodoer frowns in disgust. "We must leave! Astaider is leading Olos to the library as we speak!" I drop the stuff, and hurry over to the door. I close it behind me, and follow Hodoer down the long hallways and stairs. When we come to the library, Hodoer pushes it open and we peek inside. Sure enough, I can hear two voices coming from the back. One is definitely Astaider's, and the male one must be the cretin. "Olos..." I whisper. Hodoer and I walk inside and close the doors behind us. We make our way to the back, and I see my blonde friend sitting with a raven-haired elf.

Astaider looks up and smiles. "Hello friends. How good of you to come." Olos turns around, and looks at us in surprise. "Hello. Are you friends of Astaider?" I supress my anger, and throw a meaningful look at the blonde. Astaider's smile vanishes and she nods. "As a matter of fact, we are," I answer. I watch as Astaider pulls out a coil of rope and starts to scoot closer to him. Hodoer takes care of distracting him. "Are you Olos?" she asks. The elf nods. "Indeed I am. And what is your name, lovely maiden?" The brunette smiles. "I am Hodoer of Rivendell, my lord." He looks over to me. "And you are?" I grin coldly. "I'm Siren of another realm. And you are mine." Olos frowns, ande lets out a cry when Astaider binds his hands together behind his back. Her moves are too quick for my human eyes to follow.

"What is the meaning of this?!?" he yells, struggling against the bonds. I grin and pull a chair in front of him. "I wouldn't bother struggling. That's elvish rope from Rivendell. And as an elf, you should know that trying to break that rope is futile." Olos growls and glares at me, and for the first time, I'm able to clearly see his face. His skin is pale and smooth, like porcelain. His eyes are a deep shade of green, almost electrifying in a way. Like all elves, he was beautiful to look at. But underneathe that beautiful exterior was a monster. "I'm going to ask you some questions, and you are going to answer them truthfully." Olos looks at me defiantly. "And if I don't?" Oh, I was hoping he'd say that. "I'll gauge your pretty eyes out, and I'll force you to eat them." His green eyes widen. "Y-you wouldn't!" My grin widens. "I'm a crazy person, Olos. Didn't you mother ever tell you not to piss off a crazy person?"

Olos looks at Hodoer and Astaider. "You two are elves! We are kin! You must help me!" Astaider stands up from behind him and stands beside me. "You are not my kin. These two," she looks at Hodoer and I, "are my kin." I smile and lean forward in my chair. "So what's it gonna be Olos? Will you cooperate, you are you going to lose your sight?" Olos growls again. "Fine. What do you want to know?" I lean back and rest my arms on the chair. "Avarier. You know of him?" Olos nods. "Yes, he's the mortal that attacked me." I nod. "And you know why he did, don't you." Olos pales a bit, but shakes his head. "I know nothing, except that he is insane." Hm, no wonder I find Avarier so attractive.

"Now, now, Olos. I thought you agreed to answer truthfully." He frowns. "I am answering truthfully. I know nothing!" Bullshit. "I know what you did to his mother. You deserved that beating and so much more you little shit," I hiss. His eyes widen, than narrow. "I did nothing to his mother." I lean foward so that my face is only inches away from his. "It's no use lying to me, Olos. His mother was fascinated with the elves and you knew that. You took advantage of her and violated her. You raped her, didn't you?" Olos sputters before denying it again. "Of course not! I, I would never do such a thing!" I stand up, kick my chair away, and slam my hands on either side of his arms. "I'm getting tired of this bullshit. I know what you did, Olos. Now you will either tell me, or you'll be the first elf to learn brail."

Olos blinks. "Brail? I know nothing of what you speak of!" I growl and stand up straight. He's not going to talk. I put a hand on my forehead and try to think. What could make him talk? A smile slowly spreads across my face. I have the perfect idea.

(2 Hours Later)

"I love you! You love me! We're a happy family! With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you! Won't you say you love me too!" I sing out the Barney song, and look at the elf in front of me. He's started twitching a little, which is a good sign. Two hours of nothing but the barney song and anyone is sure to crack. "Still not willing to confess? Okay. I love you, you love me----"

"ALRIGHT!"

I stop singing, hop onto the table and look at him. "Ready to talk?" Olos nods, beads of sweat slipping down his forehead. "Yes, yes! Just stop singing that blasted song!" I nod and cross my arms over my chest. "Talk." Olos nods again. "Yes, I admit, I did violate her." I hear Astaider and Hodoer gasp, but ignore them. "Continue," I say. Olos sighs and does so.

"She came to me to learn the elvish language and culture. She was deeply fascinated with our kind. At first it was innocent. I taught her our language and she was a quick study. After a few months, I started teaching her of our culture. After a while, I couldn't get her out of my head. Those dark eyes...I wanted her. I had to have her! I told her of my feelings, and she rejected me. She had lost her husband during the War of the Ring, and was still loyal to him. Such folly, being loyal to a dead man. So I asked her to meet me in the gardens at night. Like a good little pupil she came, and I took her there and than. She was finally mine."

I stare at him for a few minutes after he was finished. "So you did it. You raped her." Olos nods, strands of dark hair falling in front of his eyes. I get off the table, and kneel in front of him so that we're eye to eye. "You will say this before the king and my friends, including Avarier and his mother. I'll leave your punishment up to them." I stand up and look down at him. At this monster that had ruined Avarier's life. I clench my fists, wanting badly to strike him; to make him suffer as Avarier's mother did. But I restrain myself. Aragorn will deal with him. I turn to my friends, and see that they both have tears slipping down their cheeks. My face softens, and I try to smile. "Thank you for your help tonight," I say softly. Hodoer shakes her head and pulls me into a hug. "You were right. Forgive me, mellon-nin." "There's nothing to forgive," I say. I look over at Astaider, and see her eyes welling with more tears. I grab her hand and pull her into the group hug. "Everything will be okay now."

The Next Day

"Olos, you have confessed to the crime of raping Darnia, mother of Avarier. Normally, I would sentence someone like you to death, but after what Avarier and Darnia went through, I leave your fate to them. Avarier, Darnia, please step forward," Aragorn commands. Avarier and his mother stand before the king, their heads held high, tears in Darnia's eyes. "Milady, you and your son have been wronged in many ways. You have my deepest sympathies and apologies. Olos's fate is in your hands." Darnia looks over at the raven-haired elf, and pain flashes in her eyes. "I have wished for his death many times." She looks down for a moment before continuing. "Sauron has been defeated, and peace is returning to Middle Earth. Enough blood has been shed. I simply wish never to see him again."

Aragorn nods. "You are both wise and compassionate, milady. Olos, I hereby banish you from Gondor, never to return. I shall also send word to the kingdom which you hail from, and shall inform them of your crimes. If they decide to take further action, than so be it. Avarier, as you are now reinstated as a member of my person security, please escort this monster out of my kingdom." I watch Avarier grin before grabbing Olos roughly and dragging him away. Ah, justice is sweet.

"Lady Siren, Hodoer and Astaider, please step forward." My friends and I step forward, and Aragorn and Arwen rise from their throne. "You have each shown extreme courage, wisdom, and friendship. I have never been so honored to have such ladies in my kingdom." Arwen nudges his arm. "Uh, except for my lovely wife of course." I grin and hear Astaider giggle. "My ladies, you will always be welcome in my kingdom. Thank you for showing us the truth. Gondor is in your debt." I grin brightly, and look over at my friends. "Well, we helped to clear Avarier's name. Olos is gone for good. I say we party!" Hodoer gives me a high-five, and Astaider hugs me tightly.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around to see Legolas looking at me sheepishly. "Well, if it isn't mister 'I have a giant sitck jammed up my cute ass'." Legolas cocks an eyebrow and I sigh. "What is it?" I ask. The elf frowns. "I wanted to apologize. I should never have doubted you. Please forgive me, mellon-nin." I cross my arms over my chest. "Why should I? You've been mean, called me currupted, and you were a stupid asshole." His face falls, and I smile a little. "But you can't help it that you're a guy, so all is forgiven." His face lights up, and I find myself being squished in a hug. "Thank you mellon-nin!" I squeak, my face turning blue. "Mortals need air to survive!" Legolas lets me go, and he's grinning like an idiot.

I feel someone drape their arm over my shoulder, and look up to see Astaider and Hodoer at my side. "Let's go get some dinner, shall we?" I grin as we start walking. The group is back together.

"...did you guys know that there's a really kinky guy upstairs by the name of shmoopy-poo?"
