This is an extremely short chapter but I just wanted to post something so I can wish Lord Elrond of Hogwarts, Warrior Elf, Nann, Orli's Hot, Arayelle Lynn, Mellaithwen-AngelMaiden, Dimgwrthien, Legolas-Aragorn-r-hot, Deana, Ymmas Sirron, Gwyn, Lady Jaina, Bant, and elfmage a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Oh, and yes, if you look at the reviews I reviewed this chapter myself. Don't ask why, I just wanted to say something before I posted my next chapter even though I could've waited. Sorry, it was a stupid thing to do.

Chapter 7: A Turn for the Worse

Legolas smirked and staggered over to the bed and sat down on the edge, sighing in fatigue. He caught his breath for a moment then looked at Estel happily.

'It was just a dream.'

He smiled at the boy. "You…have no idea, how happy I am, to see you. I was so worried." He said.

Estel grinned back and mocked surprise. "Oh really? I bet I was more worried than you."

"I bet otherwise." Legolas commented, feigning seriousness.

"You could not have been as worried as I, tis impossible," Estel shot back with a smile.

"I find it hard to believe anyone could have been as worried as I was," Legolas alleged.

"Well I think you had us close, leaving like that." Elladan interjected.

Legolas and Estel turned in surprise to see the twins standing in the doorway, a relieved yet slightly annoyed look on their faces at the disappearance of the Mirkwood Prince.

"Sorry," Legolas said sarcastically with a smile.

"'Dan!" Estel cried happily.

Elladan joined Estel at the other side of his bed, hugging him tightly. While desperately searching for Legolas the twins had filled each other in about the past days but he still couldn't wait to actually see his little brother.

"You should get to Elrond," Elrohir said directly to Legolas, Elladan had informed him of the poison.

Estel looked to Legolas worriedly.

'The arm is bad, but that's the worst, isn't it?'

"Are you badly injured?" he questioned nervously.

The elves glanced at each other warily.

"He should really get his arm cleaned and set," Elladan said vaguely.

'It serves no purpose to worry Estel about the poison.'

Legolas looked down at Estel. "I should have my injuries tended to," he said. "But I'll see you soon, alright?"

Estel nodded softly.

Legolas smiled and stood up.

Suddenly the room began to spin and his mind swam. Everything blurred and weariness filled his limbs. He felt like he was burning inside, his head pounded, and his back stung horribly. It was the last thing he remembered before collapsing to the floor.

TBC! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
