Chapter 2
Forgotten memories
Legolas couldn't hide the fear in his eyes as he looked around the dark and damp dungeon. He knew this place, the walls, the torture devices and the blood that covered the floor. "No!" he screamed in his head "not here, not again, I can't…" his thought were interrupted by a groaning sound coming from a dark corner of the cell. He looked over afraid of what he might find. He let his eyes adjust to the corners light, (it was the darkest part of the prison) and laying there was his best Friend, Estel.
Estel woke up and everything was dark. He tried to move but his back was hurting him badly. He closed his eyes in pain, and slowly opened them again. He was startled when he saw two silvery-blue eyes staring down at him. "Legolas?" He asked with a confused look on his face.
"Why did you follow me?" Legolas asked trying to help his friend up "you were supposed to stay in Rivendall."
"I'm sorry" he said "I was just worried about you"
"You shouldn't have come!" he shouted "now we are both in danger."
Estel looked around, his eyes still adjusting to the light "where are we." He asked trying to get off the subject of him following Legolas.
Legolas also looked around, memories came flooding back to him, terrible memories of torture and fear for the next day hoping that his life would end soon.
Flash Back
"Get up elf" said an orc and Legolas tried to stand but collapsed again to the ground. He could hear the orcs laughing but he didn't care. He just wished they would end his life soon. He was roughly pulled up and was healed off the ground. An orc pulled out his whip and it fell upon his already scared and tattered skin.
He closed his eyes trying to stop the pain, but it never worked. The whip once again fell upon his skin and this time he wasn't ready, he let out a scream and tears and blood began to run down his face. "Why me?" he thought "why me?"
End Flash Back
Yes He knew this place, but he couldn't let Estel know he had been here before; he couldn't let Estel know of the suffering and torment he went through. "Legolas?" came a sudden voice that brought him back to reality. He looked to his side and into Estel's eyes. "Are you ok?"
"Im triw Estel, Ceru u fuio nia anim!" ("I'm fine Estel do not worry about me!" it was supposed to be "I'm fine Estel, quit worrying!" but I couldn't find that.)
"sorry." Said Estel, calmer than Legolas expected "I just worry for, you ever since…"
"don't!" Legolas cut in and walked away.
"sorry." Said Estel under his breath, not wanting to upset the elf any more. He had never seen Legolas like this. He was hiding something, Estel knew it, and he was going to find out what that thing was.
They sat there for what seemed like hours. Legolas lost in thought, and Estel watching him. Estel was getting mad; they were locked in a cell probably going
to die, and Legolas was sitting there like nothing was wrong!
Estel wiggled around uncomfortably and Legolas watched as the ranger walked beck and forth looking for something. "You're wasting your time," said Legolas under his breath
"What?" asked Estel in a voice meaner then what he wanted?
"Nothing." Said Legolas, in an equally mean voice. They stared at each other for a while with mad faces then they both turned away determined not to look at each other again.
"Well, well, well." Came a voice from behind the bars of there prison. Both Legolas and Estel looked to where the voice came and there standing in the shadows was a white cloaked figure. "You're awake. I was beginning to think you were dead. You've been out for weeks."
"Saruman?!" said Legolas in a surprised and mad voice.
Saruman looked at Legolas and smiled "well, I wasn't expecting to see you back so soon." This took Estel by surprise and looked at Legolas who sat still with a mad and confused look.
Saruman began to Laugh and Estel's gaze came back to him. "I see you don't remember, Prince." Said Saruman with a smile, "let me help you remember!" he lifted his staff and Legolas rose off the floor. He tried to struggle free from his hold but to no avail. "Legolas!" Shouted Estel, as he saw his Friend rise off the ground. Legolas fell with a large "bang" to the stone floor. Saruman's gaze fell upon Estel with a wicked smile.
"And who are you?" said Saruman "I haven't seen you before, what is your name?"
"My name is none of your concern!" said Estel to Saruman his face now holding rage. Saruman's smile disappeared in an instant.
Legolas picked him self off the floor and looked at Saruman. "Traitor!" He spat, and tried to hit him. Then his whole body froze and he couldn't move an inch.
Saruman was growing tired of this and finally asked "why are you here?"
"Why do you think?!" commented Legolas "you brought us here!" Saruman, mad at this comment, launched Legolas against the back wall tearing the shin on his head.
"You know what I mean!" he shouted, but Legolas and Estel stayed quiet. "Answer me!" he screamed but he still got no response. "Fine," he said in a calm voice "I will just have to get the answer out of you." He began to walk away and up the stairs to the dungeons "enjoy your stay at Isengard," he said as he disappeared up the stairs.
Estel tried helping Legolas up, only to fall to the floor again. He knelt next to him, His head was bleeding but not to bad, yet "Legolas?" he said but there was no response "Legolas!" he said louder and tried to pick up his friends face to look at him, he noticed tears falling from his face and stopped.
"You shouldn't have followed me." Said Legolas turning away from him.
"And left you to be tortured" said Estel putting his arm around him.
"You don't understand!" shouted Legolas Pushing him away and standing up. He looked at Estel tears flowing down his face, he tried to stop them from falling but he couldn't. All the memories of his torture played through his mind. "You don't understand what I went through down here!"
Estel didn't know what to say he couldn't take his eyes off the elves eyes; there was something different about them. They almost seemed to be changing color. Finally he got the nerve to say something just as the elf leaned against the wall and sat down.
"So you were here before" he said quietly and Legolas nodded. Suddenly he realized something: Saruman was a traitor, but Legolas didn't say anything to Gandalf or Elrond, at least not when he was around.
"Did you tell Gandalf of Saruman's treason?" he asked as the elf shook his head in a 'no'. This shocked Estel why would Legolas keep something so important to himself. "Why?" he dared to ask. When Legolas didn't respond he said it louder "why didn't you tell Gandalf!"
"Because I didn't remember!" Shouted Legolas while turning to Estel. "I just…just didn't remember" he said once again quietly returning his gaze to the floor.
Estel stared at him confused, how could he forget something so important. He was about to ask him but decided not to ask, the elf was apparently beating himself up about it already and he didn't want to make it any worse.
How could I forget?
How could I forget something so important?
I remember the torture, the pain, the orcs,
But then everything goes blank.
And his next memory is in Rivendall.
Why? Why?
Legolas' thought were cut off by a screaming coming from the staircase. He looked to Estel; he had heard the noise too and was watching the stairs intensely.
Two orcs appeared at the stair way dragging someone. They picked up the screaming and wriggling figure and chained the person to the wall.
Legolas and Estel stood up in horror as they saw the young Elven girl who was dangling from the wall.
