For The Princess's Heart

Chapter 5

Threatening Letters

Legolas sank heavily into a chair in the library, in his hands was a piece of paper with a letter addressed to him on it. He stared at the letter but did not see it, his hands were shaking.

"Ada?" Lothvain questioned peeking around one of the many bookcases. When he did not answer her she became worried. Silently she came over to him and kneeled, her hand rested on his. Her eyes widened when she felt his hands shaking.

"Loth…where's Líndal?" Legolas asked his voice was barely over a whisper.

"Líndal? Well…I believe he's with father…but why?" She asked. Without answering he handed her the letter. At first she didn't look at it but seeing the look in his eyes she looked down at the paper and started reading.

"Dear Legolas, whore of Elessar. You should watch yourself and your loved ones. If you are not careful the young one will be lost to you. It would be advised that you left and let the king find a proper Queen. If you do not heed my words you or should I say the little one will pay. We will take the little one and you will never see him again. If you do see him you will not recognize him.

Lothvain gasped and dropped the letter to the floor. This was awful! Whoever had written this letter was threatening to take Líndal if Legolas did not leave.

"Ada…you stay right here alright? I'm going to go get father," She told him. Legolas didn't reply as she stood and walked quickly from the room. Her thoughts were racing, she tried to remember where her father was right now. "His study!" She thought and made a right turn.

Aragorn looked up as a knock came at his study door. Líndal and Eldarion looked up from their spot on the floor, they all knew each other's knocks and this did not match any of them.

"Enter!" Aragorn called. Lothvain opened the door and sighed when she saw Líndal on the floor with Eldarion.

"Oh Líndal…thank goodness you're here," She said hugging him to her.

"Aw Loth! Come on! Not in front of others!" He cried trying to move away.

"Loth? What's the matter?" Eldarion asked, he knew his sisters better than anyone and could tell something was bothering her.

"Father…a letter was delivered to Legolas. I think you and Eldarion should go to him in the library," She told him. Eldarion and Aragorn shared a glance and then stood and headed for the library.

"Loth? What's wrong?" Líndal questioned, he could tell something was wrong to.

"Don't you worry about it little one. Father and Eldarion will take care of everyone. I just want you to promise me one thing," She started kneeling down in front of him.

"What?" He asked.

"If anyone you don't know ever comes up to you and tries to take you somewhere I want you to scream your lungs out. Kick and cry like there is no tomorrow. Do you understand?" She told him.

"Loth…you're scaring me…" Líndal said in a small voice. Lothvain smiled at him and hugged him once again.

Aragorn and Eldarion entered the library and saw Legolas sitting just as Lothvain had left him, the letter still at his feet where Lothvain had dropped it.

"Legolas?" Aragorn questioned kneeling beside him.

"Estel…I'm scared…" Legolas whispered.

"Why ada?" Eldarion asked.

"The letter," Legolas replied leaning into Aragorn, who accepted him with open arms.

"What does it say?" Aragorn demanded, wanting to know what had upset his family so badly. Eldarion read the letter and then waded it up.

"Whoever wrote this is threatening to take Líndal away from us…if Legolas doesn't leave you so you can find a real queen," Eldarion told him, his voice tight. Aragorn tightened his arms around Legolas.

"You will not leave and they whoever they are will not take him from us," Aragorn said.

"I hope you are right Estel," Legolas answered.

"Do you have it?" A voice asked from an empty stall.

"Of course sir. Are you sure we want to do this?" The solider questioned a bit nervous. The other fixed his hard eyes on him. The small package handed to him held the only thing they would need to get rid of the elf.

"Yes you idiot. The princess will be mine…even if I must get rid of the king's whore for it to be so," He replied.

"It will be good to have a true queen again," The solider said. The other laughed and started to leave.

"Indeed it will," He thought to himself heading towards the kitchen.

"Remember small doses! We don't want him to die to quickly!" The solider called.
