A Brother's Safety

Chapter Six: Intruder

If Eleiden hadn't cried earlier Legolas wouldn't have been awake and able to stop Delon from killing him. Legolas just grabbed the knife with his bare hand and took the human by surprise. Delon would've cursed himself for releasing the knife if he had gotten time for that. Everything went so fast that Delon was unable to wipe the smile off his face before he felt his own knife entering his throat.

He clutched his throat and uttered something that sounded like: "How?" and then collapsed on top of Legolas, who groaned and tried to push the burden off but didn't succeed.

"Legolas?" He heard somebody else call his name. It was definitely one of the twins, but which one; Delon was blocking his view. "Get him off of me," he said frustrated.

On the second attempt of pushing Delon off, his dead body decided the floor was his new home. Elrohir smiled satisfied. "I don't even want to know what the two of you were doing."

Legolas rolled his eyes in reply. "Hannon le."

"You're welcome," Elrohir answered. "Are you all right?"

"I think so."

Elrohir eyed him suspiciously, "I don't, your hand's bleeding."

llllllllllllllllllllllllll

Elrond was not pleased at all when he arrived at the stables.

"Why was I called?" He asked Erynion, one of his loyal warriors who had just finished extinguishing the fire.

Erynion frowned. "You were not called my lord, we have the fire under control."

Elrond turned to face the servant that had called him. "Why?"

"Someone ran past me and ordered me to warn you, he added it concerned the fire so I did as I was told."

"Legolas," was the only thing Elrond said before running back as fast as possible.

lllllllllllllllllllllll

Elrond breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the room Legolas was staying in.

"Adar!" Elrohir greeted his father. "That human tried to ki-"

"I know, he started a fire and lured me out of this room." Elrond walked quickly to the other side of the bed where Delon had fallen. "Looks like you've already taken care of him," he said matter-of-factly when he saw the knife still embedded in the human's throat.

"Erynion is down at the stables,-"

"I'll get him adar," Elrohir immediately replied knowing Legolas was in good care now if he left.

Elrond sat down on the bed beside Legolas. "Let me see your hand penneth." It was not a request so Legolas quietly obeyed.

"Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Legolas shook his head, "no, he didn't get the chance."

Elrond smiled slightly. 'Thank the Valar for that.'

He carefully undid the bandage his son had already quickly wrapped around Legolas hand, checked the injury and found the knife hadn't cut too deep.

"No need for stitches."

Legolas relaxed a little at Elrond's words.

It didn't take Erynion too long to reach Legolas' temporary room, worry written all over his face.

"My lord, what happened? Your son told me it was very important."

Elrond rolled his eyes as he thought of his youngest son.

"I want you to get his body out of this room," Elrond stated and indicated Delon with his eyes.

"Of course my lord, I'll take care of it."

Elrond turned his attention towards Legolas again and saw the younger elf had fallen asleep. He silently replaced Legolas' hand on the bed and stood while a sad smile made its way to his lips.

"You're safe now," he whispered and walked out of the room. He had wanted to give Legolas some more of his famous tea but decided he would wait until the prince was awake again; after all, Legolas needed his rest. The only thing that disturbed him was the fact that he was still sleeping with his eyes closed.

Although Elrond didn't expect or know it, somebody else entered Legolas' room later that night, who quickly went to the bed. Nobody had noticed the lone figure and Legolas was still too deeply asleep, to stop him.
