Hello again. I forgot a disclaimer so please don't sue me and here you go:

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise

If you can think of a better title or summary please let me know. I know the chapters are short, sorry but it is a good place to end. I'm rubbish at medical stuff so I'm not going to write any. This could be interesting also later on I am going to use flashbacks rather than anyone telling anyone anything in the past tense cos I'm not good at that either. Anyway on with the show.

As soon as he heard this Elrond hurried into the Last Homely house, the runner, refreshed by the short break, headed back to join his patrol again. Legolas quickly cared for his horse and then followed Elrond inside.

As he had expected Legolas found Elrond standing on the balcony of what was normally Estel's room.

'Something is wrong. What is it?'

'I'm just worried about him.'

'And the rest?'

Elrond nearly swore. Why did Legolas have to be so perceptive? 'We had a disagreement before he left I don't know what he thinks but if he has shut himself away from us because of it I will blame myself.'

From the phrasing Legolas guessed it had been about Arwen. So that had been why Estel had seemed uncomfortable whenever his family had been mentioned and had avoided Rivendell for so long.

'The twins don't know. I haven't told them and they haven't tried to kill me over it so I don't believe Estel has either.' Elrond said wryly.

Legolas caught the hint and knew not to tell them.

Elrond watched as the hunting party rode into the courtyard. Elrohir was supporting Estel against him while Elladan's horse carried His twins pack as well as his own. As he dismounted and Elrohir passed the unconscious Estel down to him, Elrond walked to the healing rooms. Everything he would need to treat Estel would be there. As he had been told the edan looked in a bad way even while wrapped in someone's cloak.

Not long after he arrived the twins came in carrying Estel between them and put him on the bed.

'Elrohir, Will you find Legolas? I do not know where he is and he will want to know what happened.' Elrond turned back to his other two sons knowing that Elrohir would do as he asked.

Elladan had taken the cloak away from Estel and Elrond could now see the extent of the damage done to him.

Even as Elrond opened his mouth to ask Elladan said one word that told Elrond nearly all he needed to know 'Yrch .We think he was caught by them nearly a week ago' At the last sentence Elrond nodded, although he hated to think of anyone let alone his son in the hands of the orcs for so long it was nearly the only thing that could account for the extent of these injuries.
