He never sensed the figures behind him, was caught totally unaware. Just as his fingers brushed the windows casing, the hand closed over his mouth, crushing him into silence, strong hands roughly gripping his arms to his side. He struggled momentarily but knew it was in vain. He was caught. His heart beat wildly, his muscles tensed as the hand on his mouth relaxed.
Seizing his opportunity he clamped his teeth on the gloved flesh and ground then together, a startled oath sounding behind him. In elvish. He recognized the voice and relief flooded him, accepting the rough smack to the back of his head as no less then his due for biting his dearest friend. "C'mon, then. Let's get out of here." the words were a bare breath of sound and his heart swelled at the confirmation.
The hand left his mouth and he turned to see Kailin, his eyes bright in the moonlight, his entire body clad in black. Legolas smiled and he briefly clasped his friend forearm before turning his attention back to the window. He felt his friends hands on his shoulders, but shrugged him off.
"We have to go, Legolas." Kailin whispered, his voice urgent, again grasping the prince's shoulders. He roughly shrugged the hands off, reaching for the window, focused only on his goal. "Legolas, c'mon!" again he tugged at his friend, surprised at the sheer strength he felt in the other elfs shoulders. Whatever they had done to him here, his body was none the worse for wear.
Legolas spun, his eyes blazing. Kailin involuntarily took a step backwards, startled by the intensity of his friends gaze. When Legolas spoke his voice was a low growl, nearly feral in its tone. "I won't go without her, Kailin."
Kailin held his hand in a warding gesture, his eyes wide in his pale face. "We have her, Legolas. She is waiting with the others." He watched as his friend shook his head, his eyes losing the feral glint and his lips curving into a slow smile. Only by comparison did he realize the earlier smile had never touched Legolas' eyes.
Without a word they turned and began to slink through the shadows, two others joining them as they moved away from the palace. Legolas moved with a new grace, his long strides kept in check as he followed. They moved across his training grounds and he felt a weight lift form his heart. He knew that this would be the last he saw of this place. Now that he was no longer alone, they would have to kill him to get him to lift those stones again. As they moved again into the trees he looked back over the area. His eyes flicked to the shaded pavilion where his mistr- where Driza sat. An unexpected sadness fell over him, and his brow furrowed in puzzlement.
Before he could explore this strange surge of emotion he heard low voices, caught the scent of horses. They emerged into a clearing and he saw a small contingent of elves, perhaps fifty strong. He recognized many of his own troops, saw a few he knew to be the Quel. Even as they moved his eyes scanned the faces, finally seeing her, astride a pure white horse, her eyes locked with his in an instant.
He heard a familiar voice, saw the large elf mounted next to her leaning in to speak. Without so much as acknowledging his presence she slid from the horse, running towards Legolas, her feet silent in the fallen leaves. And then he was holding her, her scent in his nostrils, her warmth on his skin. Almost immediately their mouths met, months of close separation culminating in a kiss of pure love.
A throat cleared loudly behind them, but they took no notice, clinging to each other as though the world were about to end. Reluctantly Kailin reached out and tapped Legolas' shoulder, a small wry smile on his face. Legolas broke the kiss and turned his face towards his friend, his eyes very bright.
"As much as we are enjoying the show, it's time to go now, Legolas. This is no place to. reacquaint with each other." Said Kailin, running a hand though his short, dark locks as he did so, an uncomfortable smile upon his face. Legolas nodded, his face serious, and they shared one more, brief kiss.
Without another word they separated and swung onto their mounts, following Kailin as he weaved through the trees, darkness shrouding their escape.
