The blood of my friend

Legolas felt a searing pain erupt in his side. He shut his eyes tighter, unwilling to wake up and face more pain. "AI! WAKE UP, SCUM! I have two new trainees here and they want to test their skills in beating victims." The familiar voice said, kicking Legolas in the side. Two hooded Men stood beside their new boss. Legolas opened his eyes and saw this. "I'll come back in an hour to see what you have done to the Elf. Do not kill him, but have fun!" The Boss said and turned to the bar door. One of the hooded Men stopped him. "Clear the Guards away, for we don't want our techniques to be revealed to anyone else." One of the Hooded Men said, although Legolas couldn't tell which had said it.

Their new boss nodded. "Very well, but an hour is only as long as I can promise to keep them cleared." He said. One Hooded Man nodded. "That is good enough." The Man said. The Boss left and five minutes later the area was cleared. Legolas was too weak to move or curl up so he just closed his eyes. After he felt no pain, he opened them cautiously. The figures were moving toward him and then they kneeled by him. They drew back their hoods. "Ai, Legolas, these are bad! We have to get you out of here!" One said. It was Elrohir. The other figure was Elladan. Legolas relaxed upon seeing his friends.

Legolas flinched a little as Elladan picked him up. "We have horses waiting about five minutes from here. We found a suitable hiding place to rest for the night and clean you up." Elrohir said, walking with his brother. They walked through the halls unseen and finally slipped out. "Orcs and Men will be all over this area soon." Elladan whispered as he entered the woods. Elrohir nodded. Legolas nestled against his friend. "Thank you..." He whispered before darkness took him.

Elladan and Elrohir kept walking. "While I tend to his wounds, I need you to keep watch. Then I will let you watch Legolas and I will keep watch." Elladan said. Elrohir nodded. They walked to a small dugout, where their horses were stored safely, and set up a small camp.

Elladan lie Legolas on the small carry-bed. He covered his friend in a blanket and used any (and all) pillows they had to make his friend comfortable. He gathered his med-kit and sat by his friend. Elrohir was on the branch of a tree, watching out for danger. He saw the scouts, but decided they weren't close enough to find the three Elves.

Legolas woke as Elladan gently bandaged his wounds. "Elrohir?" Legolas asked, his vision was blurred and he couldn't tell. "Nay, it is Elladan. You need rest." The older twin said. "Sorry...I cannot...see well enough to tell..." Legolas said. Elladan shook his head. "Do I ever get mad if someone confuses this? No, I do not, and you are injured and can't see well...so, that is an excuse for the mistake." Elladan said softly and he smiled slightly. Legolas nodded. "Get some rest, mellon nin." Elladan said soothingly.

Legolas tried for about 11 minutes to get to sleep. The pain was too much. It was so bad that nothing (or no one) could EVER describe it. "You cannot sleep? Want a painkiller?" Elladan asked, seeing his friend wasn't getting to sleep that easily. "A painkiller?...do you have something...that will put me to sleep and out of the misery?" Legolas asked miserably. Elladan frowned. The pain was so bad that his friend WANTED Elladan to drug him into sleep! It broke the very heart of him to know it caused his friend this much pain. Elladan wanted to go back to that awful place and slaughter every one of them who hurt Legolas.

"Yes...yes...I do have something. Just a second." He said and went to his pack and rummaged through. He found it and made it into tea and then gave it to his friend. "This should help you sleep." Elladan said, lifting Legolas' head gently so his friend could drink. When his friend finished, Elladan put the cup down and sat by his friend until the drug kicked in.
