Chapter 8
All that day they rode without so much as a word between them. When needing to direct the elf lord in direction, Tereil would merely point instead of speaking. This seemed to be fine with Elrond for he did not wish her to speak anyway. He had trusted her, and she had taken that trust and shattered it by harming his son. "Are we getting near?" Elrond said finally getting angered by not knowing the destination. Tereil seemed to think for a minute before opening her mouth. "We shall arrive by mornings first light."
"You mean we still have a good ways to go, for it is not yet even sundown."
"Aye, yes we do." Teriel said then lowered her gaze. She knew she had let down both her master and Lord Elrond. He could not understand her guilt, but he would soon. She could not even look the elf in the face, it was just too hard.
Back in Imladris the three elves were keeping a vigil watch over Estel. His fever rose and nothing they seemed to do would calm him. After many hours all of them were exhausted. Gathering chairs they encircled the bed to watch over him, but soon all of them fell into a troubled sleep. They were all awakened as Estel screamed out in his sleep. "Ada!" his screams pierced the air. "Ada please help me, I can not see!"
Elladan jumped up from his chair, knocking it over and rushed to Estel's side. "Gwador nin, What ails you?" All he got in response was Estel thrashing about the bed. What frightened Elladan more than every orc he had encountered, was when Estel began to convulse on the bed. Elladan and Elrohir normally the most skilled healers besides their father were too stunned to move. Legolas the only other elf in the room snapped out of his stupor, and did the only thing he could, he began to yell for help.
Erestor being the one walking in the hall broke out in a run, hearing what seemed to him as screams of despair. "What is it!" he yelled entering into the room. What he saw however made him react swiftly. He quickly ran to Estel on the bed, and held the young man down to keep him from thrashing. Estel moaned and groaned against his strength and finally settled down, and his eyes started to flutter to open. "Ada" he said looking into Erestor's eyes.
Erestor heard the gasps from the others behind him, but he also knew Estel was delirious and had no idea of whom he really was. In Estel's eyes he was Elrond. "Yes Estel I am here now rest ion nin." he whispered. Estel seemed to relax, and soon he was back to his troubled sleep again. Erestor turned to explain to the others.
"He knows not what he speaks. The fever is too high. We must try to lower it, if only a little."
All three nodded their heads, but each blinked back the unshed tears forming. Elrohir went to collect a fresh bowl of cool water, and Elladan spoke to Legolas. "Could you possibly hold him while I change the sheets on his bed?" Legolas nodded, and he gently swept up the human in his arms and sat down with him in the chair. Within only a minute or so Legolas felt hot. It was the heat radiating off Estel. Whispering in elvish he rocked Estel, as he had remembered his amme rocking him as an elfling. Elladan stopped tucking in the sheets for a second and watched Legolas. He knew then and there that Legolas would give his life for his brother.
Having ridden until night started to approach Elrond called a halt. "We shall camp here for the night" he said motioning to the clearing. "Will we arrive tomorrow?" he said glaring at Teriel.
"Yes, We will be there quickly for it is just over that ridge" she said pointing to the nearby hill.
"Why did you not say so! Get back on the horse. If we are that close we shall proceed on. I will not have Estel needlessly suffer more than possible." Lead on!"
Tereil gulped down the sob entering her throat. She was afraid of her master and his wrath, and she was afraid of what Lord Elrond would do upon laying eyes on on him. She vowed to try to escape after getting there.
For over two hours they rode, until the outline of a house could be seen off in the distance. Elrond turned to look at Teriel, and she merely nodded that he was correct in his assumptions. Elrond galloped ahead, not really seeing the look of terror glaze over on Teriel's face. Dismounting as he reached the door he went over and snatched Teriel from his mount.
"You will knock and bring the traitor out in the open. If you so much as tip him off you will taste death all the more quickly."
Teriel nodded that she understood and knocked. In a flash the door swung open and Elrond notched an arrow. When the person stepped out though Elrond's mouth dropped open as he whispered "Elros.... it can not be."
had to do it Sauron made me honest!
