Chapter 15

Elrond stirred now. How long had he drifted off? "Where is Estel?" His mind raced trying to waken. He jumped from the chair and flung open the door. The next thing he heard was a loud snap, and something else. "ESTEL!" he yelled realizing what he would find.

Elrohir and Elladan burst through the door alerted by their father's yell. All three converged on the kitchen. Before Baran could raise the strap again, Elladan had him around the throat. Estel, finally free, fell to the floor. His back was bleeding profusely as he laid there. Elrond ran to him. Tears stained Estel's face. He cradled the boy in his arms rocking him. Estel cried out from the pain and then fell limp in Elrond's arms. Elrond looked up at Baran fury and rage building.

"Father, I will hold him here if you wish to seek justice for Estel." Elladan said, gripping Baran tighter.

Elrond came nearer to Baran. Baran flinched at what he saw in his eyes. "My son means more to me than you ever will."

"So you have chosen him over our friendship then?" Baran asked. Baran's head reeled from the slap from Elrond.

"Friendship! How dare you speak this word!" He was yelling now. "Never again do I wish to lay eyes on you!" Elrond spat.

"Elladan, Elrohir come we are leaving NOW!" The twins ran quickly to the door, Elladan throwing Baran down and going to scoop up Estel. "If I ever lay eyes on you again Baran, I will kill you." Elrond said with one final glare as he left Baran, mouth wide open.

Once outside Elrond mounted and Elladan handed Estel up to him. He was silently glad that the child had fell unconscious, as not to be in pain. The three sped off home with a sense of urgency.

Baran still sat contemplating on how he could kill the child.
