For The Princess's Heart
Chapter 11
In the Eye of the Storm
Finrod stood slowly and went to the door holding his shoulder. His eyes were almost black with hate.
"I may pay for my actions Sirien... but so will your ada. My revenge will be made."
He limped out to the back of the cabin and slowly made his way up onto his horse, he knew he would die from these wounds if they weren't treated but at the moment he had other things that needed to be finished.

2 Days later…
Sirien smiled tiredly but with great relief as the Tower of Ecthelion came into view. It's white stone gleaming in the sunlight.
"Home!" Líndal cheered. Eldarion smiled down at his little brother.
The guards, which had been increased since Líndal's disappearance, met them with their bows held loosely but ready to fire if the need arose.
"P-princes Eldarion and Líndal…princess Sirien…" Gernil, the head of Aragorn's guard, stammered as he stared at them in surprise.
"Gernil, my sister has been hurt and needs to be taken to the healers. Inform my father that we have gotten Líndal back," Eldarion told him. Gernil nodded and they all turned around headed back for the city quickly.
"The princes and princess have returned!" Someone yelled as they entered the main gates. At first many were confused but then they ran to the small party that was surrounded by the guards on their way up to the main floor.
"Welcome home!"
o-o
Legolas sat up. He heard people running and yelling happily in the halls.
"What is going on?" He thought throwing the covers back. He was just about to get up when someone fell over the railing. Legolas jumped not expecting such an intrusion. Slowly he stood and walked over to the balcony his senses alert.
A person stood suddenly covered in blood. Legolas cursed Sírien for taking his daggers.
"Hello Legolas. The others got away from me but at least I can complete my revenge with you," the person said. Legolas backed up away from the person.
"Who are you!" He demanded. The person's eyes danced with something he couldn't understand. They also looked familiar.
"Nor-Northiden? But… you died…" He said quietly taking a step back. The figure laughed and it sent chills down Legolas's spine.
"I'm pleased that you think I am that much like my father. I will now be able to finish what he started."
"Finrod." Legolas realized.
"Very good. I must say it is going to be sweet. Sirien should have finished me when she had the chance but I must also thank her. She felt something you might recognize behind. Does this look familiar?" Finrod questioned pulling out Legolas's dagger.
"How dare you have one of my daggers," Legolas growled, they had been a joint gift from his father, Lord Elrond, the twins and Estel on his 2000th birthday. Finrod only smiled and started his attack.
o-o
"My king! Lord Aragorn! The princes and princess have returned!" Gernil exclaimed running into Aragorn's study. Aragorn jumped up and followed him back to the fellowship hall.
"Adar!" Lindal exclaimed and threw himself into Aragorn's arms. Aragorn went to his knees, tears slipping from his eyes.
"Ion nin… oh my tithen ion nin…" He whispered hugging him tightly. Aragorn looked up at his family, minus Legolas of course, his eyes finally landed on Sírien, who was being supported by Eldarion. "Hannon le, both of you."
Both just smiled and nodded. Elladan and Elrohir took their turns hugging the children and then went to Sírien and started looking at her wounds.
"Where's ada?" Lindal asked.
"He's in his room," Aragorn answered.
"I'm going to go see him," Lindal told him. Aragorn nodded and put him down from where he had stood with his son in his arms.
"I'll be up in a moment." Lindal nodded before running out of the room towards Legolas's rooms.
o-o
"Ironic that you should die by your own dagger isn't it Legolas?" Finrod sneered as Legolas took a couple of steps back, his hand going to the hilt of the silver dagger that was buried in his stomach.
"Ada!" Líndal cried out. Legolas spared a glance at him but then turned his attention back to Finrod. He swiftly pulled the dagger from his stomach with a mere grimace of pain.
"Then I guess it will be worse for you knowing that my daughter almost killed you and now I am going to finish the job," Legolas replied. He moved swiftly, to swiftly for Finrod to follow him. Finrod only managed a short cry before Legolas brought the dagger across his throat. He fell to the ground twitching for a moment before he went still, blood pooling around him. Unseeing eyes staring up.
Legolas dropped his dagger then and stumbled back to the wall where he slid down, his hand pressed tightly to his wound although blood seeped through his fingers. Líndal gasped and ran over to him.
"Ada! Oh Ada! I shouldn't have stopped Sírien! I'm so sorry!" He exclaimed tears running down his cheeks.
"Lín…get you're adar…and uncles…" Legolas whispered through clenched teeth. He raised a hand and wiped his tears away with his thumb. "Hurry ion nin."
Líndal nodded and quickly ran to the door but dared not to go any further for fear that something else would happen to his ada.
"ADAR! HURRY! ADA'S HURT!" He screamed. Pounding footfalls were soon heard as Aragorn, Elladan, Elrohir and the rest of the family ran to his room.
"Legolas!" Aragorn exclaimed and ran to his side. Elladan and Elrohir quickly followed, they gently moved him to the bed.
"Eldarion! Go get Daeron and hurry!" Elrohir yelled. "Sirien, take everyone out. Now!"
She nodded and quickly herded her brother and sisters to Aragorn's study until someone came for them.
"Estel…the child…" Legolas whispered. Aragorn looked at his brother's and then at the gaping wound in Legolas's stomach.
o-o
"Sirien? Will ada be alright?" Líndal asked through his tears and he sat in her lap. Sirien stared into his eyes as hers filled up with tears. She only bowed her head holding him close as they fell. Why hadn't she killed Finrod when she had the chance? Would Legolas be alright?
