Fading light
(A/N: I want to start out by saying THANK U ALL FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! You are all wonderful!)
Legolas was shivering, talking, moaning, and screaming in his sleep. Aragorn set him down gently and woke him up. "Legolas! Legolas! It was a nightmare! Just a nightmare." Aragorn said. Legolas opened his eyes. His Elven eyes held fear. "No. I was reliving a nightmare. Not just having a nightmare itself." Legolas said. Aragorn held back the angry-at-everyone- who-did-this-to-my-friend tears. He was going to say something but didn't want to upset himself further. He hid his sadness from Legolas.
"I need to re-bandage you're shoulder. The wound has given too much blood, the bandage is weak." Aragorn said, dropping to his knees by Legolas. He took his pack off from his shoulders and started rampaging through it. "Here it is." He said. Legolas' dirty face scrunched up a bit. "Aragorn?" Legolas asked, unsurely. "Hmm?" Aragorn asked distractedly as he bandaged the wound. "Can I ask you a question? A Man to Man question?" Legolas asked.
"You mean Elf to Man question? Yeah, go ahead. Shoot." Aragorn said, still bandaging the shoulder wound. "How did you find me?" Legolas asked. Aragorn nearly missed cutting the extra off the bandage, and hitting Legolas' wound instead. Legolas didn't flinch because he trusted his friend. Aragorn blinked hard and then cut the bandage remains off.
"I followed the Orcs tracks. It took me months, about 4, to find the actual tracks and then I followed them. No, it didn't take me 14 months to get here, but it took me 5 months to figure out who had captured you. Then 4 months to find the tracks. The tracks were impossible to follow so I followed them for another 3 months and tried to figure that out. Then I find you there. But of course, by time we actually looked for you...you had already been missing for 6 months. We tried hard right after you went missing but it never worked." Aragorn explained, carrying Legolas to some grass.
"Did my father even try to look for me?" Legolas asked sadly. "Oh yes he did! And Elladan and me and Elrond." Aragorn said. "What about Elrohir?" Legolas asked. "Yeah him too. I guess I forgot to mention him. He actually spotted the Orc tracks, not me. I was with him though and he pointed them out." Aragorn told Legolas, going over to pick him up out of the grass. "We need to get to Rivendell. Rest, mellon nin." Aragorn carried Legolas down the path once more.
Aragorn wondered if Legolas thought his Father hadn't even looked for him, but he hoped more that Legolas wouldn't want to know more of why he had been captured.
