Chapter 10
As the morning sun appeared over the horizon Celeborn stirred from his perch in the tree. He had stood watch over the other three making sure nothing disturbed them. All was quiet in the woods except for the soft scampering of animals out searching for their morning meal. No sign yet had come from his grandson Elrohir, and it weighed heavy on his mind; but all blissful silence of the morning came to a crashing halt as Elrohir screamed.
"NO! Elladan... stop them they must not!"
Elrond was awake in moments having slept by his son's side; the ever watchful healer, and father.
"Elrohir speak to me ion nin. Who did this to you?"
Elrohir's body shuddered but all he could manage was one word "Renmiel" then his eyes fluttered closed again.
All three elven lords stood in shock. Renmiel's sons had fought side by side with them during the Last Alliance; however all had fallen in battle. Renmiel had been filled with grief and hatred but they never thought she would do something like this.
"Renmiel but how....why" Thranduil asked looking to Elrond for the answers. Elrond stared blankly lost in the memory on Renmiel's face when she found her son's bodies. Celeborn knowing that Elrond could not or would not answer spoke for him.
"She blamed men for her son's deaths and Elrond and myself for joining with them. She said it had brought the untimely deaths of many elves. She swore revenge, but we never heard from her again.
Thranduil stood for a moment gathering his thoughts before he spoke.
"But we are not men and neither are our sons, why does she want to harm them?"
To late he realized his mistake as Elrond's eyes filled with tears.
"Estel" he choked out. "She will take Estel from me and the others will die trying to protect him."
Celeborn waited and then spoke. "Elrond she blames you and I for her sons and she will see them all die before this is all over; if we do not stop her." He chose to reveal no more of what he knew but now it gnawed at his very soul.
Elrond went to sit beside his son again., hoping he would awaken and tell them somehow where his brothers and Legolas were. The foreboding sense of urgency to find them was overwhelming him. Thranduil came over and placed a hand upon his shoulder.
"I am sorry mellon nin I did not think before I spoke. Estel will be okay he is a strong young man his brothers and Legolas will see to it."
"Thank you for your kind words, but I feel they will all protect each other but at what cost he said as his eyes fell upon his one son who laid as still as death itself next to him. He then scooped Elrohir up in his arms and sang to him a song that Celebrian had sang to him long ago hoping that it would soothe his restless sleep.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Elladan sighed as his arms began to ache with the added weight of Legolas' head. He slowly pulled Legolas as close as the chains which bound them allowed. How were they going to get out of this he thought. It must be soon before Renmiel succeeded in her plan. Estel moaned with every movement his body made so Elladan tried to keep him as still as possible. He looked to the child before him. Where had the little toddler gone that had clung to him in fear in the night. Now he was older but Elladan would protect him no less. He vowed and he meant to keep that vow. Should he die all of Middle Earth would fall someday to Sauron's hate.
He then looked the the still elf beside him. Legolas was the friend that Estel needed. He was always his defender when the twins were not there. Now he laid crumpled upon a cold hard floor. His usually silken blond hair marred with blood. His features that had smiled so many times in fun and play now held a look of pain.
"Legolas" Elldan called but the only response he got was a soft whimper. Legolas tried to pick his head up but the world swayed with nauseating spots. He laid there and tried to wake himself up from this horrifying dream, but when he opened his eyes he realized it was not a dream and they were indeed held captive.
