DISCLAIMER- Not mine. Tolkien's. I would *like* to own it, but I'm afraid
that happens only in my dreams...
Yes my dears, I have returned! I hope my going away didn't upset you all too much... =D Well, just so you know, not only have I finished writing all my ongoing fanfics now (So they'll be getting posted pretty regularly) I have come up with at least 4 new ones I'll definitely do! So I'll start posting them soon... hope to see you there! Also, I have decided to make this a series. Yes, my very own Estel and Legolas series! So I'll stick up a prequel and many many more...

~*~*~*~
"Glorfindel!!!" cried Elrond. The blond Elf raced up the hill to where the voice of his friend was calling from, and was met with the sight of the valley. Elrond was upon his knees, his head held in his hands.
Elrond felt the weight of a hand press on his shoulder. He looked upwards to see his friend, sympathy and compassion evident in his eyes, along with something else...
Fear.
"They are gone, aren't they." he whispered. The dark haired Elf-lord could only nod. "Taken?" asked Glorfindel. Another nod. Glorfindel closed his eyes and sighed hard. Opening his glittering orbs, he turned and gazed down the ravine. A large log lay broken in two at the bottom, and a cloud of dust lay like a carpet along the ground.
"They must have fallen," he thought. "That would make them vulnerable to an attempt of abduction by Marethiel."
Elrond blinked back the biting, stinging tears that assaulted his eyes. They had been taken...
~*~*~*~
"Elfling... Elfling...?"
Someone whispered to him, calling him with a melodic voice. It sounded soothing and warm.
~*~*~*~
"Elfling..."
Marethiel smiled wickedly as the young Elf lying on the bed groaned slightly and turned his head towards her voice. His eyelids flickered for a moment, and then his large blue eyes were unveiled from underneath. He looked about incoherently for a moment, then mumbled; "Where am I?"
~*~*~*~
"You are in my home, young Elfling. You have been asleep for an awfully long time."
Legolas looked to where the voice had come from and beheld the old woman that seemed so strange up at the gorge, yet seemed more akin to Lord Elrond now. Her cloudy grey eyes twinkled merrily, as though hiding some secret. Immediately his thoughts strayed to Estel.
"Where is Estel?!" he cried frantically, sitting up hastily. Marethiel quietened him with a wave of her hand.
"He still sleeps," she soothed. Inside her head, the cogs of her mind creaked and turned with this new information. "Estel..." she thought. "So that is the boy's name..." Her twisted mind turned back to her plan.
"Are you... friends, with this Estel?" she inquired.
Legolas frowned at the question. "I believe so," he replied. "But I'm unsure."
It was Marethiel's turn to frown. "Why?" she asked.
"He doesn't seem all that friendly," replied Legolas. "He shouts and always seems very tense. But he claims he is my best friend and that we've known each other for years."
"And you do not know if that is true?" said Marethiel.
"No," said Legolas. "He said that I fell and hit my head. According to Estel, I don't remember a thing. And I think that he might just be right."
Marethiel fought hard to keep back a wide grin; this had just been made so much easier! She felt as though she wanted to whoop with delight, but knew that if she did, the youngster's suspicions would be raised. She would begin with phase two instead...
"You do not seriously think that he is your friend, do you?" she hissed, letting her sultry voice float on the air to poison the Elf's vulnerable mind. "Yes, he was there when you woke up, but he is not someone to trust. He shouts because he is not a nice person." She moved closer to Legolas.
"I am your friend though. I have known you many long years, young Elf. Since you were but an infant, I have been in your life, and I know everything you wish to remember."
Legolas looked at her with scrutiny. "Then what is my name?" he asked.
Marethiel thought for barely a second, taking the first name that came into her head. "You are called Dertrúor," she said, looking into the Elf's eyes.
Legolas looked confused. "But Estel said-"
"It does not matter what Estel said!" interrupted Marethiel furiously. "Do you not see?! He has told you lies, Dertrúor. This boy is extremely dangerous. You are not to trust him." She moved her face closer towards Legolas', until her nose almost touched his. She stared deeply into those bright blue orbs, and whispered softly...
"I am your only friend..."

I think that maybe this chapter was a little short, but I liked it!
Just so you know, there aren't many chapters left now, around 2-4 left to upload. I hope to see you all at the ending! Please R+R and tell me what you think!
