A/N: sorry I haven't posted for a while. I was kinda busy and had a mild
case of writer's block. Oh well though 'cause here's the next chapter.
Chapter 6-
Legolas awoke to someone yelling,' Get down here elf.' Surprised, Legolas jumped down from the tree and stood up. As he stood two men came from behind him and roughly pulled each of his arms back. He silently gasped and fell forward as another man kicked his stomach. Another kick came and another until Legolas felt something pouring down his throat. He had no choice but to swallow the nasty substance. Then two voices started talking, both yelling and Legolas could barely tell what they were saying.
' I.you do not..Kain told me.' ' Leave him alone..no he didn't'
Black spots danced in Legolas' vision. He slumped over and before going unconscious he heard one of the voices say,' Hold on mellon nin.' Legolas tried to respond but the liquid the man gave him took effect and he saw only darkness.

Aragorn heard Legolas moan and turned from the window to look at his best friend. The bed sheets were all scattered and it looked like Legolas had been tossing and turning. Aragron winced, he was supposed to be watching Legolas and to an outsider it would look as if Aragorn was doing a poor job. He walked over there and gently shook Legolas' shoulder. Legolas continued to moan and didn't wake up. Aragorn shook his shoulder a bit more forcefully and Legolas jerked awake. ' Its okay mellon nin, it's safe, it was a dream.'
Legolas sat up, panting, and confused. Aragorn noticed this and sat beside him. ' Arwen helped you. See Amon said that I wanted you drugged and put in a cell and of course it is not true.'
Legolas nodded in understanding. He then asked,' What was the substance he gave me.' Aragorn sighed. ' From your actions I say it was a sleeping root, but until then I check you over it's safe to say that.' Legolas nodded again and moved to get off the bed.
As he stood up, a wave of dizziness struck him hard and he bent over resting his hands on his knees. Aragorn grabbed an arm and Legolas grabbed back. When it passed Legolas stood back up straight. ' Thank you mellon nin.' ' Anytime.'

They headed toward the library to talk. As they made their way Aragorn couldn't resist giving Legolas a concerned glance. Looking through the eyes of a healer, Aragorn could see paleness, exhaustion, and worry in Legolas. Please, Valar help me,he thought. Legolas turned to him and smiled reassuringly. Legolas opened the library door and entered. Aragorn followed him and they sat in chairs across from each other.
' I didn't do it Aragorn. The reason I was outside in the garden was because I couldn't find sleep and I needed to breathe fresh air. I don't know how Kain was hurt but I..'
Aragorn cut him off. ' A Mirkwood arrow was found imbedded in Kain's shoulder. Since Mirkwood and its people was destroyed by Kain, then you wanting revenge and being the only Mirkwood elf alive then of course your innocent.'
Legolas stared at the king, too stunned to move or talk. Aragorn sat there surprised, too. Finally Legolas cleared his throat and said, 'Well you are the king and if you believe it was me then punish me as you see fit.'
Aragorn groaned and said, 'Legolas, I do not believe it was you. I'm just so frustrated and this mystery we're involved in doesn't make any sense. All clues point to you and that argument we had yesterday about revenge doesn't help things either. I don't know what to do anymore.'
Legolas closed his eyes and said, 'Until this is solved you will have to do like you would in any other case. Put me in prison until it is solved and I can go free.'
Legolas opened his eyes and gave Aragorn a you-don't-have-a-choice look. Aragorn sighed and stood up. Legolas copied his movements and gave the king a swift hug in which Aragorn returned more forcefully.
They broke apart and Aragorn could see unshed tears in Legolas' eyes for about a second until they disappeared. Aragorn sighed and yelled for the guards. Before the guards came in here Aragorn said,' I'm sorry, I have to do it this way mellon nin, I'm so sorry.' Legolas nodded and the library doors slammed open.
Aragorn gave Legolas one last sad look before commanding, ' Guards take him down to the prison. Do not hurt him or you will die by my hands.'
The guards nodded and both of them took one of Legolas' arms in their hands. Legolas gave Aragorn a small smile, which broke Aragorns' heart. He turned away from his friend in tears. Legolas understood and he could feel his own tears coming.
The guards led him down to the prison and put him in a cell near the back. The cell had a bed and it was filthy. Their was dirt and grime everywhere and cobwebs hung in the corners. Legolas lay on the bed and cried himself to sleep.
There is chapter 6. Hope you liked it!!! ; D
