chapter 14
Ataria came in to say goodnight before going to bed as she usually did. SHe leaned down and went to kiss Legolas on the head. He flinched away and she looked saddened by it. She then turned to Estel and leaned in to give him a kiss. As she kissed his forehead she came up and looked, "Lothen you do feel warm. Do you feel well?"
"I am fine honestly. I am just tired."
"No matter come here and let me see you in the light."
Estel groaned but he stood. Gritting his teeth he willed himself not to fall flat on his face for the headaches had become more frequent and the feeling of nausea was returning.
"Lothen you look as white as a ghost" she said then looking at Legolas she gasped. "Dernen you do not look well either. Have you both eaten something that did not agree with you?"
"Nay we have not. I think we are just tired, we just need some rest."
"Very well then off to bed with you two, but if you look no better in the morning I will make you something to make you feel better. "
Estel started to back away. He knew they must leave tonight. He did not trust anything Ataria fixed since she had drugged him that day, that was why he ate very little now. As fast as he could he got back into to bed and laid down, and pretended to drift off to sleep. There they both laid until each was sure Ataria was not coming back. Legolas was the first out of the bed and he helped Estel out.
"Steady yourself Estel. Can you make it?"
Estel nodded his head and slowly made his way over to stand by Legolas. Together they lifted the boards from the floor and Legolas climbed in first. He crawled on his stomach, it being a tight squeeze until he reached the other end. As his head popped out of the hole he breathed in the fresh air and felt revived.
"Come Estel hurry!" he whispered and Estel climbed down into the hole. He had no problem getting through as he had lost alot of weight over the year. He poked his head out the other end and gasped as the cold night air blew past him. He climbed out and for a few minutes both could not move. They stood after not seeing the outside for more than a year. Estel was in awe. He did not stand too long as he turned to Legolas. "Let's go home mellon nin."
Legolas put his hand on his shoulder and they both took off walking towards the House of Elrond. As they neared it Estel wondered where the guards were. Normally they would have long been caught and brung to a halt before entering. Fear crept up in Estel's heart.
"Legolas what if no one is here? What if someone else lives here now, and Ada has gone."
Legolas did not like to admit it but he also felt something was wrong. His own father had told him many times that he was the only reason he still remained in Middle Earth. Since he had been gone for so long, had his father sailed to the Undying Lands without him . "Come Estel let us hasten our pace a little."
Inside Imaldris the elves and Ishtari had finally drifted off to sleep. Each one hoping to dream of the ones that were gone one last time. Elrond had taken forever to fall asleep. He had went about the room placing his hands on each of Estel's things. At last he had crawled into the bed with a few of his toys and the tunic and ribbon and fallen into a fitful sleep.
Outside Legolas and Estel made their way till at last they were at the stables. Finally Legolas saw someone. It was an elf, but he saw him preparing as if to leave. Legolas did not recognize this elf and the only thought really in his head was getting inside. He pulled Estel behind a tree until the elf was gone and they waited. It was not long before the elf went back into the stable and the two were off again as fast as they could go. Legolas' normally excellent sight was beginning to blur, but he would not tell Estel. He did not wish to frigthen him. They made it to the stairs and slowly opened the door. Each turned to each other and Estel gasped. The normal hangings on the wall were gone. The house looked empty and his heart begin to fill with fear. With a look of horror he sank to his knees, the fear finally overtaking him. A mournful wail escaped his lips as he fell. Legolas could not help him as he to had sank down, not wanting to believe the obvious.
"He left me Legolas, he left me here alone. I have no one left" Estel sobbed. Each strangled word falling from him made his fever spike higher and higher. His head was beginning to spin and he saw Legolas out of the corner of his eye. Legolas was beside him on the floor and opened his mouth. What happened next was like nothing Estel had ever heard. Out of the elf's mouth came the most sorrowful sound Estel had ever heard. Legolas laid down upon the floor and waited for death. He had fought so hard, went through so much only to find them all gone. He could not take the grief and even though he wished not to leave Estel alone he could not help it.
until next time!
