Chapter Twenty Seven: Found
Galadriel looked over her Uruk-hai army, inspecting them.
"Breed! Multiply! Do you call yourself Uruk-Hai, yet stay the same pitiful number?!"
Her eyes flashed dangerously. There was a whine from a few of the monsters.
"The breeding grounds and females are that way! Now! Rivendell has been destroyed, it is only a matter of time before we take Rohan and Gondor"
The Uruk-Hai army obediently stripped themselves of all their armor to Galadriel's disgust, and marched away to the area she had pointed to. She wrinkled her nose. Horrible smell they emitted. She would have to find new troops soon, the Uruk-Hai soiled everything, if only the elves were more towards her cause. Everything would have been so much simpler.
She tilted her head to the side for a moment. Something felt out of balance.
"Legolas" she snarled.
He was up to something. She went to find him.
"Ahh yes, Aragorn was a most troublesome boy. Once he got into my chambers, wanting to see what I kept in my private cabinet. The chaos he caused in Rivendell was truly-"
Elrond was cut off as the door was blown open from the outside and Galadriel came in. She knocked Elrond into the wall. He let out a gutteral sound, then slid down. The wall had a deep indentation in it.
"Legolas! You traitor!"
"Did you think I would ever succumb to you?" he spat.
Now that his cover was blown, what did he have left? He might as well make his sentiment clear to her.
"You are too obvious Legolas. First the visits to Elrond, then you committing yourself to me. Elrond becomes your manservant, and suddenly the two of you spend so much time together"
"You are losing your grip on reality Galadriel. Do you not hear yourself slipping between the halves you've created?"
"I am not a half of anything! I am wholly the darkness!"
"I don't believe you"
"Then don't" she said with a nasty smirk. "I might as well kill this bastard-"
"Do not call the Lord Elrond a bastard! He was not abandoned by Earendil and Elwing! But captured!"
"That is what you may think Legolas, but I was there during that Age. I think I would know better"
She hauled up Elrond and slammed him against the wall again, with her hand around his neck.
"Gala-driel" he hacked out.
"Silence!"
Elrond struggled against her, managing to pry her hand away from his neck.
"You can try Elrond, try" she set her gaze intently on the Elf Lord, and thrust her hand harder around his neck.
His thumbs slipped and he lashed out with his feet, landing a few blows on her, but not accomplishing anything.
"No! Do not kill him!" shouted Legolas, trying to stop Galadriel.
"Why shouldn't I?" she growled, averting her gaze to Legolas.
Elrond's eyes started to glaze over.
"Don't kill him Galadriel!"
Legolas lunged and grabbed her arm, finding it surprising strong.
"You are a weakling" she hissed and threw him off.
He skidded on the floor, then got up, taking her from behind and getting a headlock.
"This is too much" she said, annoyed and grabbed Legolas' arm with one hand.
He cried out. Burning. His arm was being put to a brand, but he would not let go. He could see Elrond's legs stop their kicking and his jaw start to slack. 'NO!' he thought forcefully and fought to hold onto Galadriel, pulling her back.
"Ahhrhaa!"
She threw him off and he slammed into the wall. She turned to face him, leaving Elrond to slump to the ground.
"Pray to Manwe Legolas, you are not about to be forgiven this time"
Legolas grit his teeth and charged, tackling Galadriel around the middle. He let out a warcry and she yelled in pure rage. He suddenly saw a flash in his eyes, then an intense pain over his backside and ribcage. Her eyes were filled with illuminating wrath as she fired lightning into Legolas. They slammed into the opposite wall. Legolas was determined to end this now if needed. He stepped back and tried to slam Galadriel into the wall again, but was tossed off. He pulled out one of Galadriel's legs from under her. She fell to the floor and Legolas tried to find sheets to bind her with. But she had already gotten up and retrieved a thin dagger from her boot. She held it at Legolas' throat. He stared at her with hate blazing in his eyes.
"Do it" he challenged. She thought for a second.
"No...I have something worse for you"
A minute later, he found himself in a cell. Galadriel later came, kicking Elrond's body down the spiral stairs. He watched her malevolently as Elrond's body clunked down the stairs.
"What?" she asked placidly, then casually dragged the body to another cell.
She left, and Legolas leaned against the wall of his cell.
"I will find a way out of this spidersweb..."
