delays here's chapter four.

Elladan looked over at Elrohir's horror filled dark blue eyes that matched his own.
"What does he mean Elladan, why can't he see?" asked Elrohir his elven voice much higher then normal.
Elladan did not answer, instead he started to feel Estel's head looking for something.
Elrohir knew what his brother was doing and immediately hobbled over to search thru their packs for some more bandages.
Elladan slowly and gently felt Estel's head and then felt what he feared.
The lump on Estel's forehead was the least of his worries now, for on the back of Estel's head there was a big lump the size of a small orange, blood flowing freely from the gash that ran from the top of his head to the middle.
"Oh Estel," Elladan gasped.
He gently rolled Estel over on his stomach careful not to jar his broken arm.
"Elrohir, will you—"Elladan began but stopped in mid sentence when his twin hobbled up with Estel's canteen and some bandages in his hands.
"Wanting this," asked Elrohir his eyes searching Elladan's to see if it was what he feared.
Elladan took the water and some of the bandages from Elrohir and motioned for him to come and look at Estel's head.
Elrohir nearly had to crawl over to Estel. When he saw Estel's head he gasped. He looked at Elladan. Elladan nodded.
"You're not going to do what I think you are going to do. Are you?" Elrohir asked his eyes full of horror.
"If we don't get him to Ada within seventy two hours I'll have no choice but to try," said Elladan tightening the bandage on Estel's head.
"How would you do it Dan? We have no surgical supplies for such an operation," said Elrohir his voice going high again.
"I don't know how I would do it, but we need to leave as soon as it is light enough, if we go slow but steady we should be able to get him back to Ada by mid afternoon tomorrow," said Elladan brushing a strand of long black hair out of his eyes.
Movement caught Elrohir's eyes. He looked at Estel noticing he was coming to again.
Elrohir moved to go sit by Estel, big mistake. Elrohir almost cried out in pain when he stepped on his ankle and would have fallen if Elladan had not caught him.
"I'll see if I can find a branch good enough for a crutch for you," said Elladan gently laying his twin by their brother.
"Dan, Ro, were are you?" asked Estel a hint of fear in his voice.
"It's ok Estel we are both right here," said Elrohir stroking his hair.
"What's wrong with me, why can't I see?" asked Estel. He tried to get up but the gentle hand of Elladan pushed him back down. Just then Estel's hand went to his head; it felt like it was going to explode.
"Easy, you and Elrohir were in a rockslide, you took two cracks to the head, which is what is causing your blindness." Said Elladan straitening Elrohir's ankle earning him a wince and an evil glare from his twin.
"I'm so tired Dan," said Estel his eye's closing.
"No Estel, stay with us tithen gwador, stay with us," the twins said together.
But it was too late Estel had welcomed the depth of a coma.
