Hi everyone, sorry this took so long but I caught a nasty cold and I was real sick and in no mood to write, but I feel better now. Had a great trip too!
Chapter 29--Sweet Freedom
Finally Elrohir and Legolas could see light ahead of them and they emerged into sunlight. They paused to rest.
"Which way do we go from here?" Elrohir asked.
Legolas glanced around them. "South would be the fastest though not the safest," Legolas said.
"Why is that?" Elrohir asked.
"It is not heavily patrolled, so there are spiders. We would have to be very careful," Legolas said.
"Especially since neither of us have so much as a dagger," Elrohir said.
Legolas frowned at that. "That is a problem, but perhaps we can do something about it," he said.
"What do you propose we do?" Elrohir asked.
"We could try to slip into the armory and get some weapons or steal them from a sentry," Legolas said.
"I think we would be better off steeling them from a sentry. The armory might be to well guarded for us to sneak in," Elrohir said.
Legolas nodded in agreement and led the way into the trees. After almost an hour of cautious hour of stalking through the woods they saw a lone sentry. They stopped and hid out of sight.
Legolas leaned close to Elrohir and began whispering his plan in the Half-Elf's ear.
Meanwhile
It had been a tiring ride, but finally Aragorn and Elladan reached Imladris. They charged into the courtyard and their weary horses stopped.
Stable hands came running up and took the horses as they swung off. They rushed off to find their father and Thranduil.
Both Elrond and Thranduil were startled when Aragorn and Elladan charged into the study without bothering to knock and both panting from their run. "What in Arda is wrong with you two?" Elrond asked.
"Guards from Mirkwood took Legolas and Elrohir," Elladan panted.
Elrond stood up so fast his chair tipped over with a loud clatter. "WHAT?" he demanded.
Thranduil stood too. "Easy, Elrond, they will not be harmed. None of my folk will dare," he said.
"I am afraid that is not quite true, sire," Aragorn said and told Thranduil what Elrohir had told his twin through the link.
"That traitorous bastard! I will have his head if my son and Elrohir are so much as scratched. My escort and I will ride to Mirkwood at once!" Thranduil said.
"Glorfindel and I are going to accompany you. I must see for myself that my youngest son is well," Elrond said. They strode away together.
Aragorn and Elladan could hear both of them shouting orders at their men. Aragorn looked at his brother. "This could get very ugly quickly," he said.
Elladan nodded in grim agreement the they hurried after the elder Elves. They were not going to be left behind.
It took nearly an hour for everything to be made ready, but at last it was and the small army of Elves galloped from Imladris. They were led by one very angry Wood Elf and an even angrier Elven Lord.
I think Zion is going to be the one executed after Thranduil gives him a good arse kicking. Don't you agree? R/R please. Thank You!
