Rivendell
(A/N: "LuLu bell" this chapter is for you! Thanks for just about reading and reviewing EVERY single one of my stories (about) that was totally cool! Tell me what you think about a prequel for this story, okay?)
"We're there, Legolas!" Aragorn said to his injured friend. There was no response from the Elf. He was in yet another fever/poison induced sleep. Aragorn knew the plant, but he didn't know the name of the plant that caused the poison. Aragorn rode up closer and gently took Legolas off the horse, and the sudden (but gentle) movement made Legolas moan.
Aragorn carried Legolas into the entrance and yelled for his father. Lord Elrond came on his third call. "In Elbereth's name, Aragorn! What is it? Why...Oh Valar...What happened to him? Where was he?" Lord Elrond questioned. "I'll tell you later. He is injured badly...he was injected with that poison...the black one...made by some plant in Fangorn. His ribs are shattered. His shoulder...stomach...whip marks...help him, Ada!" Aragorn cried.
Lord Elrond took Legolas away and Aragorn didn't hear or see either one until 5 hours later. "May I see him, Ada? Will he be alright?" Aragorn asked. "Sit, Aragorn. The poison is getting worse. Much worse. Which plant did you say it was from?" Lord Elrond said. "I do not know the name. It grows in Fangorn Forest on its eastern boarder, I believe. It makes a thick and black poison. He was injected more than 7 times. 4 times is deadly." Aragorn said, tears forming on his last 2 sentences.
Lord Elrond nodded. "I will look it up. You may go see Legolas. He doesn't look any better but he is not in pain right now. I managed to slow just a tiny bit of the poison, but that's not enough." Elrond said, going to his shelves to find a book.
Aragorn left and went to The Houses of Healing, where Legolas was. He pulled up a chair next to his friend. Legolas didn't look any better, as he had been informed. There were still the dark circles around his eyes. He was pale, but the best part for his friend was that he wasn't in any pain. In fact, he looked peaceful.
"I have to tell my father, Legolas. I have to tell him what your father did. I have to. I will return shortly." Aragorn said, getting up. He walked out and back to where he had left his father to study. He knocked. "Come in." Lord Elrond said. Aragorn opened the door and walked in. Elrond looked up from the book. "Ada, I have something to tell you." Aragorn said.
Elrond gestured for him to sit. Aragorn complied. "What is it about?" Lord Elrond asked. "Legolas' father did something...unheard of...I need to tell you before everyone is in trouble." Aragorn said. "Thranduil did something unheard of? I should very much like to know what it was he did." Lord Elrond said.
"He...um...he let a dark-cloaked figure take Legolas so he could keep his land and palace." Aragorn tested his words. If that didn't just explain everything...what would?! "He...WHAT?!" Lord Elrond nearly screamed...it was actually more of a yell.
"You heard me. It's true, also. I heard it with my own ears." Aragorn said.
"Well, we'll see if Legolas is EVER going back there again! I will take him in if I have to! THERE IS NO WAY THRANDUIL WILL HARM HIS SON EVER AGAIN! He did it for land and his palace?!" Lord Elrond yelled protectively. "Ada, that Dark-cloaked figure knows that Legolas is gone. He knows that Legolas is in Rivendell. Legolas isn't safe here." Aragorn said calmly.
"He isn't going back to Mirkwood. We will go to war if we have to." Lord Elrond said.
