Chapter 9
Estel was awoken from his light slumber as they passed the Bruinen.
The thought of getting home made a smile dance across his face.
Within moments they rode in thorough the gates and up to the door.
Elrond helped Estel down, and they were greeted by the twins and
Glorfindel. Elladan hugged his father and then turned to Estel.
"We have missed the little mischief maker," he said as he grabbed
Estel up in a big hug. Estel fought the urge to scream out. Tears
fell freely from his eyes. Elladan let him go quickly.
"Estel, are you okay?" He asked, worry creeping into his voice.
"He is fine, probably just hungry and tired." Elrond said. He smiled
down at Estel who smiled back.
"Well come then, Erestor has dinner waiting." Elrohir said, fondly
messing his brother's hair as he passed by.
As they entered the dining hall, Erestor came in from the other room.
Tears glistened in his eyes at the sight of Elrond and Estel.
"Erestor be careful, or Estel might think you have missed him."
Elladan chuckled catching the tears in Erestor's eyes.
"Nonsense!" Erestor said clearing his face. "It was just too quiet
here."
Elrond laughed at the pair, "Come let us eat, for I am famished."
They all sat down and began to fill their plates. Estel had only
taken one small piece of meat and a slice of bread. Thankfully no one
noticed as Elrond was telling them the story of the spiders in
Mirkwood. Estel had thought nothing tasted better than this meat and
he savored each bite. All too soon his stomach was full. Everyone
finished their meals and sat talking and catching up.
Estel, without much thought got up and began to clear the dishes from
the table. Everyone's conversation stopped and all stared at him.
Erestor was shocked. Never had he seen a member of the lord's family
perform servant work. Elladan was the first to speak up.
"Estel, what are you doing?"
Estel stopped what he was doing, and looked at all the other's
sitting with mouths open. "I was just clearing the table," Estel
said, cringing from their stares.
"Leave that to the servants," Erestor said, "You are an Elrondion,
not a maid."
Elrond stood from his chair and Estel flinched instinctively. The
plate in his hand dropped and shattered to the floor. Estel
gasped. "I'm so sorry," he said, backing away as he said it. Estel
waited for the blow, but it did not come. Instead Elrond wrapped his
arms around the boy and pulled him into an embrace. Estel whimpered
as his ribs and back blazed again.
"Come I think you have had enough for one day," Elrond said as he
picked the child up and began to carry him up the stairs. He entered
Estel's room and saw that the child had fallen asleep already. He
would just let him sleep in his clothes. Changing him into a
nightshirt may wake him up. He leaned over and pulled the covers up,
placing a kiss on the boy's cheek. "It is good to have you home. I
love you, Estel." He blew out the lamp and was headed for the door
when he heard a murmur.
"I love you too, Ada."
Elrond smiled as he closed the door behind him. Estel bolted upright
in the bed in the middle of the night. He had seen Baran's evil face
as he approached to kill him and had woken up. He now sat on his bed
afraid to go back to sleep. He wanted Elhare, but he did not know
where his bag was. As his eyes adjusted to the dark he spotted it on
the dresser. He quickly got off the bed, grabbed Elhare and snuggled
back in under the covers.
"I must never tell or else." Estel said as he spoke to the bunny.
Hugging Elhare tightly he drifted back to sleep.
*Goes away till next time!*
Now that being said on with the fic!
