Left in the Darkness
Chapter eight
A quick choice
Elrond grabbed a bag of healing supplies in case Elrohir was close by and hurt and ran out the door but as he turn the corner that led to the stairs Elrond nearly collided with Glorfindel.
"My Lord Elrond were are you going in such a hurry?" asked Glorfindel, he had not seen Elrohir's horse ride up.
"The courtyard Glorfindel, Elrohir's horse just rode in, but-," Elrond began but didn't get to finish his sentence.
"Oh say no more, that is why you are running around Rivendell with healing herbs in your hand," said Glorfindel pointing at the bag in Elrond's hand.
"No you don't understand, Elrohir's horse is down there, but Elrohir is not," said Elrond trying to explain.
"Oh, then were-oh," said Glorfindel finally understanding. "I will come with you."
They hurried down the stairs and into the courtyard, there was Elrohir's horse munching happily on some loose hay by the stables.
Elrond grabbed the horse by its bridle and looked it over. It looked fine. No marks on him, no blood, no nothing. Elrond did notice that the horse had throne a shoe but Elrohir would not let his beloved horse go for that reason.
Elrond was about to call someone to take care of the horse when he heard another horse on the other side of the stables. He went around and there was Kingly, Estel's horse nibbling on a post.
This could only mean one thing; his sons were in trouble-again.
"Glorfindel!!" Elrond yelled, he had forgotten that Glorfindel had come with him.
Glorfindel winced then said. "You don't have to yell my lord, I am right here."
"Oh I'm sorry Glorfindel, I forgot you were already with me, would you—," Elrond started but didn't get to finish the sentence.
"Go saddle the horse and get a group together, we ride as soon as they are ready--, am I right?" Glorfindel said smiling at his long time friend.
"Yes, you always seam to know what I am going to say when it comes to the twins and Estel," Elrond said with a half smile.
Within ten minutes they were on the main road that lead to Mirkwood, the road that Elrond knew the twins and Estel would take, twenty minutes later they came to the main bridge, it was broken.
"Now what my lord," asked Glorfindel. For he knew the only other way to Mirkwood was over the Misty Mountains.
"We go over the Misty Mountains, my sons are out there and I'm going to find them." Said Elrond as he turned horse back towards Rivendell and then the Misty Mountains.
Sorry I know it is a little short but I need to get this on so I can work on a new story that I'm working on: A Hobbit Switch, and the next chapter for this one; A Twin Bond. Oh and by the way about sickness in the Wilderness, we are still working on it, but we are both having extreme writers block, so please bear with us.
Until next time. Happy Reading. Frodo's Sweetheart
