Chapter 17
Baran held a sword in his hand, a mad glint in his eye.
Estel, having heard Baran's voice through the open door, woke up screaming. Elrond's once calm demeanor turned into pure hatred. He rushed for Baran sword in his hand. He never reached the man however. Baran fell mid scream an arrow protruding from his throat. Elrond and Glorfindel, who was on his heels, stopped in their tracks. They looked left, but were only met by the twins, who were standing mouths gaped open, pointing. Elrond turned around and saw Erestor, bow at his side with a look of satisfaction on his face. When he noticed everyone staring he spoke.
"Never again will he harm your son, milord. I have avenged the House of Elrond." Elrond nodded a silent thank you.
"I must return to Estel. Who will remove the body?"
"Worry not, for the dead shall be taken care of." Erestor said.
"Go to Estel, for he will need his father."
Elrond turned, and with great speed ran up to the still screaming child.
"ADA! ADA! Do not let him hurt me," He was yelling over and over.
Elrond came to the room and rushed to Estel. He pulled the child into his lap and stroked his hair until the sobs eased up. He looked down on his son, and lifted Estel's chin to meet his gaze.
"Fear not my son, he will never hurt you again, for he is dead."
"But how, Ada?" Estel said, through the waterfall of tears.
"Erestor killed him before he could reach you."
"Ada, am I bad?"
"No Estel, he had no right to hurt you, and I am sorry I was not there to protect you." Elrond looked to his son and wiped the tears away that still fell. He got up to leave, but Estel clung to him.
"Ada do not leave me tonight, for the dreams still haunt me." Elrond moved back to the bed, he slid the boy over and placed Estel's head on his chest. The two of them fell asleep. Estel slept peacefully for the first time in awhile, for he knew he was safe in his father's arms.
As the sun's early rays peaked into the room, Erestor entered with breakfast for the two. They looked so peaceful asleep, it was a shame to wake them, but Estel had not eaten anything the day before. Elrond stirred and opened his eyes. He shook Estel awake.
"Arise little one, and eat some breakfast."
Estel pried his eyes open and saw his father and Erestor smiling at him. Estel then got up from the bed, walked past the tray and right up to Erestor. Erestor looked at the boy in confusion. Estel flung his arms around the elf and hugged him. Erestor stood there in shock then kneeled down to the boy.
"Hannon le," Estel whispered in his ear. Erestor, the usually prim and proper elf, hugged and kissed Estel.
"You are welcome Estel, now off to eat with you." Estel laughed and went back to his father and climbed into his lap to eat. Erestor left the room before anyone could see the tears of joy which streamed down his face. The House of Elrond was once again complete, as the faint sounds of laughter rang through it.
Thanks again to all who have stuck with this fic!
