Some time later, the men arrived at their camp with the elves. They looked around the place, a bad feeling in both of their guts when they were forced to stop.

"I do not like the looks of this place Lego," she whispered to him. "I fear something will go wrong. Maybe Arwen was right."

"We'll discuss that later," Legolas quietly replied. "Right now is not the time."

They were soon led to a tent with a post standing outside. Legolas figured it belonged to Althar and he wasn't surprised when he ordered the men to chain them to the post. Their arms were now above their heads and they were being forced to sit on the hard ground.

"This is where you're going to be during the remainder of your stay. Don't try and escape for it is futile. I'm sure the king won't want to see two of his faithful servants killed because they were having some forbidden 'fun'," Althar told them in a quiet voice.

Nanaylia gulped as Legolas stared at the man with a fire in his eyes.

"Poor little elf. All alone in a strange place and there's nothing you can do about it," Althar snickered.

"You will not get away with this," Legolas retorted. "Once the king what happened to us..."

"And there's nothing he can do to rescue you. He will never know that you are here. I doubt that he will miss you at all. He can easily get someone else to work in his home. Servants are expendable. You have them and then you get rid of them once they have no more use," Althar replied.

Nanaylia didn't like what the man was saying: she had been from her father and brother for far too long. Legolas could sense her fear.

"I will be back," Althar told them before turning around and leaving them with the other men.

Legolas turned towards Nanaylia, who had begun to cry.

"There, there. Father will find us. I just hope that the twins were nearby and heard what was going on," Legolas quietly said to his sister.

###

Elladan and Elrohir peeked out from above the bushes to look at the camp sitting before them. Men were milling about the place. Some were drinking and eating while others were keeping watch. Elrohir thought that there might be some sleeping. But what took his notice was the man named Athar walking out of the darkness from across the camp.

"My best guess is that the two are close to that tent, where that man came from. Over there," Elrohir told his brother, pointing in the direction of the building.

Elladan nodded, having seen the man as well.

"What do you think we should do now? Wait or get them out now?" Elladan wondered.

"I had been thinking wait until it gets dark and most of them are asleep. Then we try and get Legolas and Nanaylia out of there," replied Elrohir.

###

A few of the men walked up to the two elves. One of them soon looked over Nanaylia and knelt down beside her. He ran a hand through her hair and she was disgusted by it.

"You will listen to us, elf," the man told her as the dog waked up behind the men. "Bite them."

The dog appeared to understand what the men was saying because it growled as it was walking up to the elves. It bit Legolas in the abdomen and he cried out, unable to do anything to stop. Nanaylia soon had a look of horror on her face. The dog sensed her fear as it stared at her with wild eyes. It soon bit her underneath the arm and she cried out in pain. It nipped at them several times before the man ordered it to stop.

"If you do not cooperate with us, the dog will do much worse," the man told them. "And as a smll gift from us..."

The man didn't need to finish his sentence as the two siblings saw the buckets of water.

"We know how much the two of you like water," the man said as the others dumped the water on the two elves.

Legolas and Nanaylia sputtered. Their injuries were soon hurting from the combination and they couldn't do anything to stop the pain. They were just starting to become dry but now they were soaked all over again.

The men walked away, laughter in their voices. Nanaylia looked over at her brother.

"Legolas," she whispered to him.

"Nanaylia, I'll be fine," he replied.

"So will I. I just hope the twins find us," she said as they looked out into the woods.

###

Legolas watched the sun as it was setting behind the trees. He knew that his father and the others would soon be wondering where they were, if not by now. He looked over at Nanaylia, who was carefully watching the men walking around them. Legolas already knew that she was a prime target if any of these men suddenly decided to listen to their sexual urges.

"Maybe we should have listened to Arwen," suggested Nanaylia.

"Maybe. But how were we supposed to know men were roaming around Mirkwood?" Legolas agreed.

They watched as Athar decided to walk up to the two.

"Hello my dear," he said to Nanaylia with a smile.

She appeared to be disgusted and so did Legolas by the man's behavior. Legolas had a bad feeling he knew what Althar was going to be doing real soon.

"I meant what I said earlier. You are beautiful," Althar told her as he placed a hand on her thigh.

She kicked his hand away and growled at him, indicating that she was not to be touched.

"Leave her alone!" cried Legolas, struggling in the chains.

Athar looked over at the male elf and walked over to him. He was angry and he punched Legolas in the face. Repeatedly. The man even went as far as punching the elf in the stomach and chest area. It ended with a punch to the stomach.

"You will do as I say or else she will suffer greatly. I will have my fun with her all during her stay. And it won't be pretty either. I would have her bearing my children if need be," Althar quietly said to Legolas. "She is, after all, a servant, just like yourself. And I would have you delivering her children."

Legolas was shocked to hear that. He couldn't believe that this man would actually do to Nanaylia.

"You're crazy!" Legolas spat at him, now tasting the blood that was in his mouth.

"Try me," Althar replied with a smirk. "Speaking of children, I think I just might have some fun now and hope it results in a child."

He knelt down beside Nanyalia and began to rub her face. He held her chin in his hand before it headed further down her body. He soon began to kiss her on the neck. She writhed under his touch, not liking it one bit. Legolas was not liking it either. He lowered his head, knowing that a part of his sister would be gone that night and he couldn't do anything to prevent it.

###

Elladan watched the scene from his hiding spot. Luckily, none of the men decided to search for any intruders or anything else. He saw the man trying pretty much forcing himself on the female elf.

"Elrohir!" Elladan almost cried out.

Elrohir, who had been resting nearby, jumped to a sitting position.

"What is it?" Elrohir wanted to know, hurrying over to his brother's side.

"That!" replied Elladan, pointing the way.

"Oh no. That's not good. If I'm not mistaken, Nanaylia's still untouched, even after her time with Manlin," Elrohir said, grabbing his bow.

"And it should stay that way until she's ready," Elladan put in.

"That as well. Elladan, looks likes we do this sooner than expected," Elrohir agreed as he aimed his bow.

Elladan smiled as he grabbed his own bow.

###

Screams were heard and Althar had to stop what he was doing to see what was happening. He left the brother and sister and looked around to see that his men were scrambling. Some were already dead, arrows sticking out of their bodies and more were falling by each passing moment.

"What is going on here?" Althar demanded to know, rasing his fists into the air.

An arrow passed by him but he managed to dodge out of the way and he laughed.

"Whoever did that is a bad aim. It missed me!" he cried.

"Maybe it didn't, "came a voice from behind him.

Athar turned to see Elladan standing there, the keys to Legolas' and Nanaylia's chains in his hand. He turned to see Elrohir with a bow in his hands. He snickered.

"Two elves? Creating all this trouble for two servants? That is funny!" Althar said with a laugh.

"It's not funny to us," Elladan replied.

Athar looked between the two elves. He glanced over at the two blonde elves still chained to the post. Seeing that he had enough time to get there, he ran over to the two and placed a knife to Nanaylia's throat.

"I am certain the reason you attack my camp is for these two. If you don't want these two to get hurt, you will give m back those keys," Althar yelled at them.

Elrohir aimed his bow right at the man but Elladan placed a hand on the bow and aimed it down. Elrohir was surprised as his brother threw the keys back to the man, who subsequently unchained Nanaylia. He lifted her to her feet and placed the dagger on her stomach, his other hand on her mouth.

"Now go before I decide to end her child bearing days right now!" Athar threatened.

The twins didn't appear to be going anywhere so Althar began to make his point by slowly pressing the blade into the female elf's skin. She appeared to be almost to screaming as blood began to seep through her dress from the wound. The man was inflicting a long one just to prove his point.

"Is it worth it?" Elladan asked his brother.

"No, it is not worth it if Nanaylia loses her ability to bear children. Especially if she finds that someone she really cares about," Elrohir replied, lowering his bow.

Elladan and Elrohir looked at each other before nodding. They turned around and began to walk away. Althar laughed, believing he was home free. He took the dagger away from the elf. But that was until the twins suddenly twirled around and each released an arrow at the man. The arrows caught the man's clothes and pulled him to the ground. Nanaylia fell in a heap to the ground, curling up into a ball and clutching the wound. Elladan hurried over to her as Elrohir ran over to the fallen man. He grabbed the keys and released Legolas.

"Come on, let's get out of here!" Elrohir cried to his brother as he helped Legolas to his feet.

He soon found that the elf needed little help to move.

"I am fine for now," Legolas told Elrohir as they hurried over to Elladan and Nanaylia.

She was shivering as Elladan placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Nanaylia?" he said. "She's very cold."

"Carry her if you have to. We'll take care of the injuries after," Elrohir replied.

Elladan nodded before gently scooping Nanaylia into his arms. Athar could do nothing but watch as the four elves ran away.

Legolas was running behind Elrohir and his vision was blurring slightly. He didn't see the rock that he steadily heading towards. He tripped over the rock and fell to the ground. Elrohir and Elladan turned once they heard the sound behind him. Elrohir hurried for Legolas and helped him to his feet. Now, the elf had a limp so Elrohir placed a hand around Legolas' torso and began to help him into the woods.

Althar managed to free himself and he climbed to his feet, watching the elves disappear into the forest. He growled.

"Those two will pay for that," he muttered to himself. "I will get that female elf back and she will bear my children."
