Chapter 7
Two hours later Estel tossed and turned. The burning in his stomach was getting worse, and his whole body was drenched in sweat. Everytime he tried to lift his head up from the pillow the room spun, until it made him feel sick. The small amount of light coming from the lamp beside his bed, felt as if he were staring directly into the sun. With a groan he rolled over, and hoped to Valar this passed soon. He could see his Ada keeping him in bed till he was forty. He did not have to wait long as he heard bickering outside his door.
"What if he is asleep? Ada will kill is if we wake him" Elladan said.
"Dan, we will not know unless we open the door, now hurry up I am starving."
When they opened the door they saw Estel curled into a ball and thought him asleep. As they turned to exit the room the soft moaning caught their attention. "Estel are you alright?" Elladan said nearing the bed. When he got there he went to place a hand on Estel head, but he quickly pulled it back. "Ro go get Ada NOW!" Elladan yelled. He yanked back the covers, and saw Estel shivering as if cold. His whole body burned with fever, and yet he was as pale as death. "Estel can you hear me?" he whispered. The only response he got was another moan, as Estel let a single tear slip from his eye. Elladan was relieved when he saw his father come running through the door followed by Elrohir and Legolas.
"Elladan what is it!"
"I do not know" Elladan said, his voice wavering on the verge of tears. "He was fine earlier, and now he looks so bad Ada, please help him." Elladan said the torrent of tears falling now.
Elrond went to his son's side and spoke his name softly. "Estel" he said hoping to get him to open his eyes. When Estel did open them, the light from the room was like staring into the sun. He quickly shut them again. "Estel can you show me what hurts?" Elrond prodded his son. He watched as Estel placed his hand on his head and his stomach.
"This is very alarming, Estel was fine before. Did any of you give him anything, besides his broth?" "Nay" they all spoke. "Legolas could you go and tell Teriel I request a glass of juice for Estel, and be quick."
Legolas ran from the room, before they could see the horde of tears trying to spill from his eyes. How was it that Estel seemed to be fine, only to lapse back into his state now. Not bothering to slow, he ran all the way to the kitchen, and almost ran right into Teriel. "Teriel please forgive me! Lord Elrond asks for a glass of juice for Estel. He has fallen ill again."
"Oh Valar, I shall get him one quickly. Please wait here I shall return with it in just a moment. Teriel went into her room, and was going to her bag. "He should have had enough to kill him, but why take chances," she muttered to herself."
Legolas getting impatient, and wanting to return to Estel slowly opened the door to check on Teriel. He watched in amazement as she poured something from a vial into his juice. Without making a sound he entered the room and grabbed the elf by the throat. "What was that? What have you put in Estel's drink?"
"I shall not reveal that to you or anyone else" Teriel said upset with herself for being caught.
"Then you shall answer to Lord Elrond!" Legolas said dragging the she elf behind him.
Glorfindel being brought from his study because of the racket, saw Legolas dragging a Teriel kicking and pulling up the stairs. "Legolas Thranduilion. What in Arda's name are you doing to Teriel?"
"She was putting something in Estel's drink! She would not tell me what it was!, and I am taking her to Lord Elrond!" Glorfindel's eyebrows shot up. He then turned on the she elf. "If you have harmed him in any way Valar save you!"
Elrond sat on the bed, wiping Estel's brow with a cool cloth, when the door was flung open and in marched Legolas and Glorfindel, dragging Teriel behind them. "What is the meaning of this!" he said jumping up from the bed. Elladan and Elrohir were at his side, wondering why they would drag Teriel like she was a common thief.
"Perhaps Teriel can explain herself. It seems mellon nin that she was putting something in Estel's drink, and Legolas caught her."
Elrond rounded on the cook, a look of terror and confusion in his eyes. He was however pulled from this as Elladan lunged for Teriel. "What have you done to Estel! You will die for your treason of my family!"
Teriel spoke as Elladan was caught by his father. "My master commanded his death, and he shall have his will. No one can stop the poison now, he will be dead within a week!" she spat the words out.
Elrond could see the fear in her eyes. She was just a pawn in her master's game, and he had used her well. "Whom is your master? I would seek him out!" He saw Teriel's strong will begin to crumble, as she looked at the elves staring back at her with hatred. "I know not his name, but I do know where I am to meet him when my task is done. Only he can provide you with an antidote for Estel.
Elrond turned to look as his son who laid on perhaps his death bed. He went over and whispered into his ear. "Please Estel hold on until your Ada gets back. Do not die and leave me yet my son." he said wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Ada I will try" came the weak reply, and Elrond leaned over and kissed his son's head, before turning to Elladan.
"You will try everything necessary to keep your brother well until I return. All of you please keep him from the Halls of Mandos. I could not bear it."
Legolas saw something he had never seen in all his centuries in Middle Earth, he saw the Lord of Imladris crying. It made him well up with a sense of sorrow. "I will keep him from death's door milord, but do please hurry and return."
As Elrond turned he saw four very determined faces staring back at him. He then grabbed the she elf by the arm, and pulled her out the door. On the way to the stables he turned to her. "If my son dies you will pay for it with your life." Teriel nodded in understanding, and both mounted up on Elrond's horse and were off.
