Chapter 24
As Renmiel and her men settled down by a warm fire to sleep, there were three figures still huddled together for warmth in the small cage. Every word seemed to echo off the endless cave walls so they spoke in whispers only.
Legolas and Estel laid upon Elladan; their heads resting on his shoulders. The hopes of escape were now just vague memories somewhere in the back of their minds. They had given up, even the smallest one who's name meant hope had none left. Elladan's mind wondered back to the past; the past where there was no pain.
Legolas ever the warrior at heart was now like a child, he had withdrawn and only stared into space. The only time he broke from his reviere was when Estel moved. Estel although only sixteen was unbelievably still alive. His body should have failed him long ago but his will was strong. He shifted around trying to get warm, he should have been warm with the fever which raged inside him but he was not. Legolas noticed his movements and at once dragged himself to be next to him.
"Estel are you in pain?" he said as he rubbed his back trying to ease him from his torment. The look in Estel's eyes caused him to shudder. It was the look of acceptance of death and this scared Legolas. Estel was to young to leave from this earth. He had much to do, much to see. The child could only moan the pain inside consumed all rational thought. His body was riddled with gashes and bled freely still. The sight of him brought tears to Legolas' eyes. No one should have to suffer this much. He had all but forgotten his own injuries but they were numerous as well.
They all three were close to death's door and they all knew this in their hearts. The poison coursed through Legolas' and Estel's veins slowly driving them closer to the Halls of Mandos. The despair of it all driving Elladan to join them. With each passing moment the dreams in Estel's mind grew more vivid. They taunted him telling him he was human and had no place with elves. He screamed out and began to bash his head once again.
"Estel stop it!" Elladan said almost yelling he quickly quietened down he did not wish for Renmiel to return. His words were lost on his brother, for all he heard was the voice in his head which told him he didn't deserve to live. As another wave of pain passed over him he halted in banging is head to moan again and that is when he saw his brother staring at him with the same sad look he had seen before. It was the look Elladan had on his face the time he had fallen from the tree and almost died.
Estel's mind flashed back to that day. He had been dared to climb the tree by the other elves and not wanting to seem a coward had done it. Once he had gotten to the top he was estatic. That was when Elladan had called for him and when he noticed where Estel was he had panicked and climbed up to get him. Estel had been appaled that his brother was going to drag him down in front of the others. He had fought against Elladan and Elladan had lost his grip and he had fell. The next thing he remembered was waking up with Elladan sitting by his bed with the same look he had now, as if he expected him not to ever waken again. Estel gripped Elladan's hand and whispered to him.
"I am not frightened it will be alright."
Elladan's eyes filled with tears and they spilled over in torrents down his face. A shiver ran down his back as he knew the truth in Estel's statement and he held him close.
And now I run from you before you choke me heehee
