Chapter 2
Legolas awoke gagged and bound. His head was spinning and hurt badly. He didn't remember right away what happen, but as his memory came back he began to struggle. His movements had drawn the attention of his guard, an extremely ugly looking orc with only one eye. The orc smiled evilly at the captured elf.
"Well so the little elf awakens. What shall we do with him?" he said taunting Legolas, who glared at the disgusting orc. He wished he wasn't gagged so he could reply to the foul creature. The orc smiled at his prey. It would be fun torturing the elf. "The head orc wanted the pleaser of torturing you first, so I guess you're lucky for now Elf." The orc spat out the last part. He then turned and went back to his post, waiting for the head orc.
'How am I going to get out of this.' he thought looking around the cave. He could see two tunnels. One led up and probably outside, the other led down deeper into the cave. He hoped that he could escape before the head orc returned.
The semi-conscious twins were thrown roughly to the ground. Neither the orcs nor the twins were aware that Estel was nearby watching and waiting for a chance to free his brothers. "Hold on I will save you." he whispered to himself.
It had taken a day to reach the cave and was now near dusk again. Estel moved around a little. 'I'll have to wait till dawn to free them' he thought. He saw a gruesome orc walk toward Ellrohir. He picked up the injured elf by his hair and laughed at his prey.
"Well looky here boys. Twins. What fun we can have with them." He laughed as he threw Ellrohir against the cave wall, rendering him unconscious again. The orcs continued to laugh as the brute walked towards Elladan. 'I have to help them," Estel thought, but there was to many orcs for him to slay.
The orc picked up Elladan in the same manor. "And look at this one." He sneered. " Don't you feel well?" he said smiling evilly at Elladan, who looked really bad. Blood was matting his hair and only a dirty cloth covered it and the elder twin's eyes were closed. The orc then threw Elladan on top of Ellrohir and continued to laugh at the elves.
"Let's hope the other one will be even more fun then these two," he said, still laughing as he went down further into the tunnel.
'What other elf could he be talking about. Could they have captured Legolas?' Estel thought, but at the moment he was more worried about his brothers.
After Estel could here no more noise from the tunnel, he took out a dagger and took at one of the three remaining orcs, who were fighting over who got to torture his brothers first. He then shot at the one facing him. Hitting him in the stomach. The orcs thought that the other one had killed him and fought. They ended up killing each other.
He ran silently to his brothers. "Dan... Ro... Can you here me?" he whispered. Ro groaned and said weakly,
"Estel." But neither of them moved or opened their eyes. He picked up Elladan. "Ro, I'll be right back. He ran outside and hide Elladan in a small cave he had found, then raced back to Ellrohir and took him to the cave as well. "I'll be back soon," he told them, though they did not respond. Estel crept back into the cave and down the tunnel.
He came close to a small group of orcs, who were talking quietly and did not notice him. "Yes, that blond elf looks like a lot of fun. I cannot wait to get a turn at torturing him." Said one of them. "Yeah, but not all of the fun will got to you." said a slightly bigger orc. Before another one could speak their heads had been cut off and the slumped to the floor dead.
Estell could help but wonder why there was so few orcs in the cave. He soon got his answer as he neared a lit chamber. He peered inside and saw that same gruesome orc and a lot of others in the room. The brute was kicking something. Estel looked closer and to his horror realized he was kicking Legolas.
Legolas had been tied and gagged for at least a day, probably more since he had been unconscious for a while. He had just woken up and his guard looked extremely happy about something. When his guard turned and saw that Legolas was awake he ran over to him. "Do you know who is coming elf. The head orc. Finally some fun." he said almost jumping for joy at the prospect of watching the elf suffer. "He has some business first, but will be here any moment." Legolas sat there, not really knowing what to do. His guard had never gotten close enough for the prince to reach him and no other had entered in here, at least while he was conscious.
In a few moments the ugliest orc Legolas had ever seen entered the room. He was grinning wickedly at his prey. "So this is the other elf." He said. 'Other elf' Legolas thought 'but I traveled alone. Who has been captured.'
He did not get long to think before the orc moved towards him, his breath almost causing Legolas to throw up. " Would you like to die quickly or slowly?" he said teasing the elf. " Slowly it is." He laughed with the others. "There are too many here. Most of you leave so I can have room to torture him slowly." All but 5 orcs left down the opposite passage that Estel was on.
"Now where were we, oh yes." he said tearing off Legolas' gag. He then grabbed Legolas by the hair and threw him into a wall. His back hit it and Legolas tried to muffle the scream that came from his lips. The orc smiled and began to kick the elf in the stomach. Legolas curled into o ball to try to stop some of the pain, but the brute simple walked behind him and began to kick his back. Legolas was in some much pain the he prayed for it soon to be over.
Estel saw the orc move behind his friend and watched in horror as he began to kicked him. He noticed that the big group of orcs he had heard had left and only a few orcs remained. Estel quickly took his dagger, which he had taken from the dead orc and threw it at one of the orcs. He happened to hit Legolas' guard. he then took his bow and shot the brute who was still kicking Legolas. The orc fell dead and landed on top of the hurt elf.
The others seeing two of their friends' death ran towards the tunnel Estel was in. He drew his sword and quickly slayed the small group. He ran over to Legolas and moved the dead orc off of him.
"Mellon-nin." He whispered. Legolas looked up to see a man standing over him. "Legolas, it's me Estel." "Estel" he whispered and then fell once more into unconsciousness.
Ellrohir woke to find himself in a small cave. 'Where am I' he wondered and rubbed his head. "I'm not bound at least." He thought. He turned and saw Elladan next to him. "Dan!" he said concerned. "Dan, are you alright?" He went to his brother's side. Dan groaned but said nothing and stayed still. Through their connection Ro could feel that Dan was in a lot of pain. Ro picked his brothers head up and placed it on his lap. The blood was finally dried, but Dan was pale and feverous. "I wonder where Estel is and if he's alright." he wondered out loud.
"I'm fine Ro." Estel said. Ro turned and saw his brother standing in the doorway of the cave. He noticed that he was carefully holding something. Estel set his burden by Ro, Who gasped. "Legolas?!" he said confused and worried. "What happen Estel?" He asked.
Estel told him what had happen after they had been captured. "And then I brought him here. How is Dan?" He asked looking at the elder twin. "He is not good Estel. We must leave soon."
"Yes as soon as it is dawn," he told his brother as the sun began to rise.
