Ok so I finally finished chapter 7! YAY! I'm so happy!

Ok so it's as long as my other chapters and I don't know if this ending is considered a cliffie. So enough of me talking here is the chapter!

Chapter 7

Abandoned

"Hello elf." Saruman said walking down the stairs. Legolas and Estel both glared at him. "You'll be coming with me." He opened the door. Two orcs entered the cell while the other two waited at the door.

Legolas got up and backed against the wall. The two orcs came closer to him, until they were in front of him. One orc grabbed his arm and Legolas hit him in the stomach. Legolas fist contacted with his chin and nose again and again, until the other orc hit him in the stomach and he doubled over. The orcs grabbed his hands so that he was restrained, and started out the cell.

Estel just watched as Legolas struggled against the orcs hold. He wanted to do something but his legs wouldn't move, in fact his whole body wouldn't move. Legolas… I have to help him, he thought trying once again to move his legs. He stopped when he saw Legolas double over. No! He tried even harder to move Why cant I… he thought and then saw Saruman out of the corner of his eye. A spell, he realized suddenly, I can't defeat it but I have to help my friend! He tried to break the spell as he saw the orcs taking Legolas out of the cell, and as they disappeared up the stairs.

The spell finally wore off and Estel fell to the ground. I couldn't help him he thought trying to catch his breath. but I can't give up, one of us has to keep hope, or both of us will die.

Legolas struggled against the orcs as they dragged him out of the cell. He saw Estel standing by the bars, Help me Estel! he thought but just couldn't get the words out. His heart sank when his 'friend' just stood there not even looking at him. He really doesn't care for me; I really am alone. He didn't want to believe it but seeing Estel standing there just backed up the thought and made it easer to believe.
Legolas was taken up many flights of stairs until the orcs halted in front of a big wooden door.

Memory after memory flooded Legolas's mind, and he couldn't tell what was reality and what was just another forgotten memory. He realized he was now in the room it had plain walls if you ignored all the weapons covering it and the floor was stained with blood, and even more memories came. The room began to spin and he felt like he was going to fall.

"So you remember the place." said Saruman and Legolas's eyes tried to focus on him, but everything was blurry. Saruman began to laugh, or at least Legolas thought he did, he couldn't tell if it was a memory or happening right now.

Every aspect of the room and everything that was happening made memories fly before his eyes. None of them seemed to fit together it was like sections of a puzzle just randomly put together. They were all just scattered into little sections that continued to pop up.

Through all this Legolas managed to hear Saruman say something like "do…. Kill … don't" he couldn't put it in order but he got the main point, he was to be tortured but not killed. Then he heard the wood door slam and all the memories seemed to go together.

Flashback

"…don't kill him" said Saruman as he left the room. Legolas had no idea what to do or what was going to happen to him. He looked at all the torture devices lining the wall and to the orcs that were still in the room with him.

"One… two…three…" he counted them silently Wait weren't there 4? But the thought came too late for before he knew it a wooden club came down on his back. His back ached in pain and he could feel the splinters that now were covering the spot that was hit. He tried to get up but a whip came down on the same spot, pushing the pieces of wood deeper into his skin. The whip came down again and again, tattering his cloths and pushing the splinters deeper drawing blood…

End Flashback

Legolas was brought back to reality when one of the orcs punched him in his stomach. He once again doubled over and the orcs knee came into contact with his chin. He stumbled backward until he hit the wall. He felt his jaw; it was broken but not badly and he popped it back into place.

He watched as the orc's got weapons off the walls; a three headed whip with poisoned ends, a club with small spikes covering it, a rusted and blood-stained knife, and a small device that looked like a sharpened stick made of metal.

Legolas wished, prayed, that this was just another one of his dreams, that at anytime now he would wake up in his room, and he would be ok. Everything would be normal, but he knew in the back of his mind that that wasn't going to happen.

He looked for some way to escape but he knew there was none. He hoped that everything would be ok, but his hope was slowly leaking away, and was replaced with doubt.

The orc with the whip came to him. He tried to get away but the whip wrapped around his ankle and tripped him. He fell to the floor and the whip came down on his back. He felt a sharp pain on his leg where the whip got him on the ankle and he saw the spot covered in blood.

"Don't think you can escape, elf," said one orc. He held the knife to his neck, and made a small cut.

"Don't think you can stop me," said Legolas, getting up off the ground. The whip came down on him along with the club but he ignored it and kept getting up.

When he finally got up his fist came in contact with the orc carrying the whip. The orc came at him with the whip but Legolas grabbed it and pulled it from the orc's grip. Legolas picked it up and ran for the door.

Saruman wanted the human to witness what was happening to his friend, to make him talk like that. He knew the elf would never talk if he was the one in danger, and the human would have him promise not to tell if he was tortured. The only other option was to have him see the elf's torture and have him try to stop it. But he needed the elf to believe that his friend no longer cared for him, so he couldn't have him witness it.

That's it! He thought That's how I'll do it! And he turned and went to the dungeon.

Legolas was only two feet from the door, he only had to reach it and he might be free. He would remember this time, he would tell everyone of Saruman's treason, and he could go home. What about Estel? A voice in his head asked.

What about him? Another voice asked.

Aren't you going to save him?

The voices in his mind were silenced when he felt a sharp pain go through his leg he fell to the ground only inches away from the door. He looked at his leg and he saw the sharpened peace of metal in it. His hand went to pull it out but he found his hand had stopped responding, in fact his whole body refused to move. Orc poison!

Estel walked back and forth in his cell. He wanted to know what was happening to Legolas, but a part of him didn't. He knew he wouldn't be able to handle seeing his friend in pain; he would talk to save his life.

Estel wanted to do something to help, but he felt so helpless. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Saruman's voice. He looked to the direction of the voice, and there through the bars stood Saruman.

"I've brought something for you," he said, throwing a mirror on the floor.

Estel hesitated to go up to it but when he saw what was in it he ran to it and sat looking into the glass.

No he thought looking up to where Saruman has been, but he was gone. Estel looked down at the mirror, horrified at what he saw.
