Legolas blinked in confusion, whirling around warily in his darkly lit surroundings, his hands on the verge of drawing his bow at any horrors that might materialize.
To his immense surprise, his lover unexpectedly apparated before his eyes.
His eyes lighting up, Legolas could feel an irresistible smile quirking up the sides of his lips as pure relief spread through his body merely at the sight of his beloved.
However, as a look of anguish shadowed Aragorn's face, Legolas could feel the warmth of relief slowly seeping away.
"Aragorn?" Legolas mouthed the name, shocked at the absence of sound emerging from his lips.
"Do not leave me," Aragorn pleaded with Legolas as he held out a lonely hand, his eyes glimmering with desperate fear.
"I would never leave you," Legolas mouthed, gritting his teeth in frustration at his failure to vocalize what his thoughts, his inability to reassure Aragorn of his undying love.
Trying to lift a hand to join Aragorn's trembling hand, Legolas's heart filled with dread as his hand too refused to obey his commands, hanging limply by his side instead.
Staring desolately at Aragorn, Legolas could only stand motionlessly, helplessly as Aragorn's eyes clouded over with despair.
Legolas was trapped in his own muted agony as Aragorn turned away despondently, his bowed head a mark of his utter defeat.
Completely powerless, Legolas witnessed his lover disappear from his sight, his life.

"It appears Legolas has been drugged," Gandalf replied thoughtfully, his hand unconsciously stroking his trailing beard.
Caressing Legolas's face tenderly, Aragorn tried in vain to soothe his lover who seemed to be caught in the thrones of a nightmare, his entire body shuddering as though shockwaves were electrifying his body.
"It is all right," Aragorn whispered softly.
Switching his attention to a silent, solemn Gandalf, Aragorn was suddenly struck by the significance of Gandalf's words, and his suspicion of Faramir renewed itself vigorously.
However, he asked the more pressing question, the question that was making fear chill the very marrows of his bones.
"Will Legolas be all right?" He asked, trying to prevent his voice from shaking.
A kind, benign smile appeared on Gandalf's wizened face as he nodded affirmatively. "He will be fine once he regains consciousness," he reassured Aragorn.

Faramir was meandering through the lonely, numerous mazes of Helm's, rapt in contemplation about the object of his desires, his every thought.
He was not worried about the drug's effect on the elf as he had been assured by the vendor, a straggly haired, beaked nose hunchback that the drug would have no ill effects after the victim had regained consciousness.
However, Faramir could not help the need to see, to feel the elf. His every thought was consumed with images of the elf and he felt once again, a twinge of regret at not possessing the elf when he had the chance.
He was rudely snapped out of his reverie when an enraged figure suddenly slammed him against the painfully hard wall.
"Wha-" Faramir's attempt to protest against this unprovoked attack was interrupted when he was once again hurled against the wall.
His entire body throbbing with pain as inky black spots appeared in his vision, Faramir groaned as an unrelenting arm pressed against his windpipe, trapping him in a vastly uncomfortable position.
Choking for breath, Faramir collapsed to his knees as the hand was finally released.
He attempted feebly to dodge a vicious kick but was caught in the ribs, causing bolts of pain to rip through him.
Aragorn's flashing, livid eyes suddenly filled his entire span of vision as his attacker knelt down next to him.
"I know what you did to Legolas," Aragorn said menacingly, in such an agitated frame of mind that even his breathing was hitched and irregular.
"I did not-"
Faramir's attempt to protest his innocence was met with a stinging blow from Aragorn.
"Do not try to deny it!" Aragorn spat out in disgust, his eyes filled with pure revulsion.
Feeling the tangy blood in his mouth, Faramir wisely remained silent.
He gasped as a dagger suddenly materialized in Aragorn's hand.
"Legolas gave this to me as a token of his love," Aragorn said almost conversationally, his eyes ominously dark.
Leisurely dangling the dagger from his hand, he suddenly moved it towards Faramir's eyes in a stabbing motion.
"No!" Faramir shrieked, trying to swerve his head.
However, Aragorn grabbed his hair roughly and forced his eyes to fall onto the dagger.
Even in the midst of his terror, Faramir was struck by the intricate beauty of the dagger.
The pearly handle gleamed in the dim light, lustrous and untainted while the shining hilt was engraved with elaborate and striking runes.
Light reflected off the shimmering metal blade, creating a beautifully woven play of light against the grimy, gritty walls.
"If you go near Legolas again," Aragorn said slowly, warningly, emphasizing each word. "The next time you see this dagger, it will be in your heart."
