A Slave Named Amy
BY Jade Limill

Chapter 7

Lindir walked over to Amy's room, taking his harp with him. Amy had commented on how she would like to hear him play for her, and he had agreed. Only he didn't expect to find what he did in her room.

Amy was on her bed, sobbing noisely. He put down his harp by the door and walked over and sat down on her bed. He wrapped his arms around her and held her. She leaned into his embrace and sobbed into his shoulder.

"What is wrong?" He asked quietly when her tears had subsided a bit.

"They hate me. Everyone hates me. I am tainted. Unclean," she cried.

"Who said that? And why?" Lindir asked.

"Lord Derrick. He said no one could ever love me, for I am a whore!"

"Don't trust anything he sayd. It is a lie. I don't hate you, and niether does Stormwing or the twins or Glorfindel. and you're not a whore,"Lindir said sharply.

"But I am! He called me and I came everytime!" She protested.

"Did you want to go everytime?" Lindir asked, exasperated.

"No, but he made me!"

"Then you're not a whore. A whore would go willingly. Just because you went does not mean you are a whore. The fact you were forced says in itself that he used you. Never think you're a whore. Never," Lindir said softly.

"But--" Amy started, until Lindir cut her off with a kiss. This was the gentlest kiss she had ever had. While Lord Derrick's kisses were rough and painful, Lindir's kiss was gentle and sweet.

"Never," Lindir repeated when they broke.



"She was raped," Glorfindel said, repeating everything Stormwing had told him to Lord Elrond.

"Then we have but one choice. We must keep Lord Derrick away from her and keep him from doing this to others," Elrond decided.

"I shall send out guards immediatly," Glorfindel said and went to do about it.

"Elladan and Elrohir came into their father's study soon after.

"Ada, the stables are cleaned. May we see Amy now?" Elrohir asked.

"Unfortunately, you may not. I have things to take care of concerning her, and it would be best if she were left alone."

"Of course, Ada," Elladan said.

"Oh, and I need you two to go hunting. Be careful, for Lord Derrick is still out there. Don't leave the other alone for a moment," Lord Elrond said.

"Yes, Ada," they said at the same time.

A/N: A little short, I know. The next chapter will be up soon. There will be a sequel to this, in case anyone was wondering. I strongly suggest you all read my other stories.

Replies:

M.A.D.- I have a comp. in my own room w/ intertnet access. So I could still sneak on. It was hard because I had to wait until my parents went to sleep, and then there was always the chance that they would wake up. I'm off now, but it's only a matter of time before they kick me off for some other reason again. Sequel coming after this one is finished.

lexi22- No, this is an R romance between Lindir and Amy. E/E are just her friends, and the tension breakers in the fic. Glorfindel also plays a big part. Sorry for the mix-up.
