Hey guys! Sorry I'm a little late with this chapter (A little, six days is a little, six weeks is NOT!) I have been going to camp, then recovering from camp, then going again, then recovering, ect... Anyhoo, I only got dehydrated three times, which is pretty good considering I went to two camps, lol. But then my dad surprised me and said we were going the Flordia keys for my birthday, very big surprise. So I wasn't able to update on my b- day as planed. Now I am back, but still recovering from shock. The keys were very hot! I have a song from Toby Mac stuck in my head, so if you see anything about wanting to know what you were thinking, that's why. In fact, I think I'll just name the chapter that and get over with it. I am NOT Tolkin. You can call me that, but it really doesn't work, since I am a teenage girl and he is a dead, old guy.
Oh yeah, I wasn't able to get this one betaed because I needed it to be posted so y'all wouldn't think I was abandoning it. I should be able to post more as soon as school starts. I have more time then. (How backwards.)
Replies to reviews will be at bottom this time.
chapter 11 -Want to know-
Aragorn dodged the creature's pounce, but it caused a sharp pain to shoot up his leg.
'This is not good,' he thought.
The being leapt again, and this time when the ranger dodged it the creature came into the sparse light from the barred door, and for a second Aragorn could see what it looked like. It was a wolfish like animal with long, matted fur and wild eyes. The creature had a sort of intelligents to him that Aragorn hadn't seen in wolves before, but was common in their evil brethren, the wargs. It puzzled Aragorn that he sensed no evil in this animal. The dark beast leapt again and again. Aragorn could feel his leg giving out as the beast attacked. The animal soon had him cornered. It was getting harder and harder to stand against his attack. Aragorn fell. The beast loomed over him, to Estel it looked like he had a grin on his face. Saliva dripped from the dog's teeth. Aragorn struggled to get up, but the pain was too great.
The animal watched his prey struggle up. He could smell the humans fear and it fueled him, but there was also something else the dog could not decipher, a sort of Elven sense about him. The human was almost on his feet when he fell again, pain contorting his face. This was his chance.
The animal jumped at the helpless human, his fangs barred. Aragorn could do nothing as the black form approached him.

Lord Elrond woke with a start. He had had a dream that his sons were in trouble, again, and that great grief had entered the hearts of his two oldest. He would have ignored it, but this was not the first time he had had this dream. He wondered what it could mean. Since he knew he would not be able to get back to bed, Elrond decided to get dressed and make himself some tea. After that he would see his advisors about his dreams and maybe get together a group to search for his errant sons and friend. Walking down the hall he wondered why the Valar had seen fit to give him twin boys and then the human. I seemed between the three and their friends they got in more trouble than a hobbit in the kitchen. The elf laughed at the thought of when a certain hobbit had come and make a mess of the kitchens, Celeboil almost went crazy trying to keep enough food in stock, and with Estel's broken arm at the time everything was in chaos.
"Up early milord?"
Elrond was pulled from his thoughts with his advisor's question.
"Oh, yes, Glorfindel, just thinking about old times."
"Did you have a good night's rest?"
Elrond sighed. "Yes."
Glorfindell had known Elrond since he was young and knew that it was a lie instantly.
"Did you dream about your sons again?"
"You know me better than I know myself sometimes," The elf lord sighed again. "Yes, my dreams of late have been troubled. I see the twins, they have the same look on their face as when Celebrain sailed, and Aragorn is facing great evil alone."
"What about prince Legolas?" Elrond's head advisor asked.
"I could not see him." Elrond stared into space.
"We'll find them. I shall get some of our best trackers to find your sons and Legolas. We will get them all home safe, I promise."
Elrond smiled. "I know you will, mellon nin, I know you will."

Elladan found his brother sleeping. "The fire is out," he whispered.
"Back already?" Came the sleepy question.
"Yeah, you told me to come back if the fire was out."
"Yes, but I didn't actually expect you to do it," The younger twin sat up. "So, can we go exploring now?" He asked.
"You are not well enough to get out of bed, nerveless go exploring," Elladan went into his older brother mode.
"I'm well enough," Elrohir got up, "See, I can stand and walk a little. I will not allow my brother to go with out me." At the last sentence there seemed to be a hint of sadness, but it disappeared as soon as it came. "To leave me you would have to tie me to a tree, and even then I would escape it to go with you." Elrohir looked at his brother.
"I bet," mumbled Elladan. "Ok, you can go with me, but if you feel the slightest bit sick we are coming straight back."
"Deal." Elrohir started out the cave.
"Um, Elrohir, you are forgetting something."
"What?"
"Water, maybe some lembas, and some extra bandages."
"I already packed it, except the water, we need to find some of that." Elrohir smirked at his brother.
"Ok, ok," Elladan held up his hands, "Lets go then."

Legolas was in pain. His still healing arm had been hurt badly when he tried to get away. The elf wondered how Estel was doing. He berated himself for letting them take him even though it was not in his power to stop them. The helplessness wore on him. He hated it with every fiber of his being.
It had been the same way every time the human got hurt. Legolas wondered what they had in store for the two of them, whatever it was, he knew it couldn't be good. Soft footsteps resounded in the hallway. Legolas wondered if he would get to see what was happening now. He straightened up and listened to see if the person was coming to his cell.
He saw the shadows from a flickering torchlight on the opposite wall. The human walked pass Legolas was surprised. It was a small form of a girl that walked pass, not the bulky form of one of the men. Legolas felt sorry for her as he watched, the slump of her solders was not common for a girl so young. The elven prince wished he could do something for her, but she was freer than he at the moment. Soon the footsteps faded once again and Legolas was left to his own thoughts.
They drifted to Elladan and Elrohir. He wondered where they were and what they were doing right now. The fire was out, they had most likely found the hole that the two had fallen into and wondered what happened to them. He wished he could know what they were thinking when they did not join them wherever they were. He wondered if they were even still alive. Legolas prayed that they were well.

Elladan rushed through the woods with Elrohir in his arms. He wondered what had happened. He had been all right a few hours ago. They had found the place where Estel had disappeared, and it looked as if there was a trap there that was set off. Elladan hoped that his brother and the prince of Mirkwood were okay. Then Elrohir had come to him saying he did not feel well. His twin did look pale, so Elladan told him to sit down on the ground. Elrohir eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed, Elladan was just in time to catch him. He checked his brothers wound. The skin around it had turned a fiery red with infection, and the skin past that was black, a sign of poisoning. 'I thought it wasn't poisoned.' He murmured, putting his face in his hands. He knew that if he did not get his brother to Rivindell soon, he would surely die.
Elrohir was hot with fever in his arms. He mumbled incoherent things. There was only one thing he could understand, "Estel." He was two days from Imladris, but going night and day he could probably get there in a day. He prayed that this would be enough time.

Gozilla: Is this soon? Didn't think so. Hopefully next chapter will be up sooner.
Celebrean: Yup, wildfires can be dangerous things. Especially in the hands of crazy writers.
Beling: I thought about it. But I couldn't help but put another animal in here. That "He was my hope" part will be explained in the coming chapters.
A Sly Fan: Who Varawiel? Nope.
grumpy: Yes, that would be bad. How would I explain it when Frodo came up to my door asking for strider. Or the crazy fan girls Shudders But, it might be worth it.
Hyperactive Forever: I will try to fit something in for Elladan, but it will probably come later, I have to get Elrohir well first. Elrond has informed my that having three sons sick at the same time causes mental breakdowns.
I wanna know, wanna know whatcha' thinkin', about this story, so review!
