Estel woke up several hours later confused as to why he was still dressed. Then it came back to him the disastrous hunting trip. Ada is going to be furious thought Estel. Then suddenly the door slammed open and an unfamiliar Elf stormed in his face contorted with fury. "It is entirely your fault you stupid human" spat the Elf with loathing in his voice. "Why Lord Elrond adopted you is beyond me".
Estel sat there shocked at the wrath in the Elf's voice.
"What is my fault?" stammered Estel. "He is dead. Dead because he cared for a human child." "Do you know what it is like for an immortal..." The Elf paused and seems to gather his thoughts and said in a voice that would freeze the fires of Mordor said, "You should have died instead of him, Lord Elrond should never have taken you in. You are a disgrace to this House and to Lord Elrond. "I am sorry," whimpered Estel finally recognising the Elf as a friend of his brothers. The Elf laughed bitterly "you can not apologise enough, I will never forgive you now get out of my sight before I hurt you" the Elf threatened. Estel was so distressed and terrified that he grabbed his cloak and ran sobbing from the room.
"It is all my fault Elrohir is dead. My fault he is dead." These thoughts ran through his head as he ran out of the buildings in to the forest surrounding Imladris.
(A/N I could be evil and leave you there but I am not that evil)
"How is Elrohir? Ada" asked Elladan. He will be fine, you should go and talk t o to Estel he is probably worried about Elrohir" replied Lord Elrond. "First I am escorting you to bed" Elladan held up his hand before Lord Elrond could protest and said, "You are exhausted you have working hard healing Elrohir and Tinor you need to rest. "I do feel tired I will follow my wise son request." With a laugh Elladan escorted Elrond escorted Elrond to his rooms.
"How is Lord Elrond?" asked Glorfindel. He is exhausted he worked hard trying to heal Tinor but his wounds where to extensive for Father to heal, he left for the halls of Mandos a few hours ago. "I hope he finds peace, how is Elrohir?" "He is getting better Father expects him to awaken soon." "That is good does Tynor know about Tinor?" "Yes Glorfindel he does he did not take his brothers death well not that I expected him to be overjoyed," replied Elladan. "It is hard to lose a friend immortal or otherwise" said Glorfindel "Maybe you go talk to him" "I will but first I will talk to Estel" "Yes that is a very good idea Lord Elrond was a little hard on him earlier he will need reassurance that Elrohir is well." "Thank you Glorfindel I will seek them out immediately."
"Estel" called Elladan while knocking on the door to Estel rooms "can I come in little brother? No reply. Maybe he is asleep it has been a long and tiring day thought Elladan. I will go and talk to Tynor and come back later
"Father you have awoken" "Yes Elladan have you talked Estel yet?" "No Father I went to his rooms I believe he was asleep. So I sought Tynor out nobody has seen him since he was told of his brother's death. He will seek out company when he is ready we should check on your brother he is probably waking up.
"How are you feeling Elrohir?" "Much better Father" replied Elrohir. "How is Estel he was not injured was he?" asked Elrohir looking around for his little brother. "No I do not believe that he was," replied Lord Elrond with a thoughtful look on his face. You do not believe asked an incredulous Elrohir. Lord Elrond had the grace to look chagrined at his son's statement. "I was worried about you and I was a little has on him. I will ask Glorfindel." Ask me what? Lord Elrond. "Ah Glorfindel did you notice any injuries on Estel when you put him to bed?" "I am afraid I do not know I was called away before I could check". "I am sure he is fine Elladan called upon him earlier and said he was resting. "Glorfindel could you ask a servant to bring some food and fetch Estel he is probably worried a great deal about you and will be very happy to see you awake." "We certainly are" said Elladan.
"Where is Estel? I am sorry Lord Elrond was not in his rooms. "What" cried Glorfindel "I specifically told him to wait till one of us collected him." "We should start a search for him," commanded Elrond.
"Is there any sign of him?" Lord Elrond asked worriedly. Feawen replied by saying, " we have searched the buildings and the gardens and there is no sigh of Estel. "Where is he then this is not like him to disappear especially with one of his brothers injured" exclaimed Lord Elrond.
