Chapter Thirty-Six
Payment for your transgressions (Revenge for Dummies)
~~~POV-LEGOLAS GREENLEAF~~~
Reyna and I slipped through the broken window. Bent on finding him, Reyna drew her bow back and walked silently down the corridor. Her steps were inaudible as she furtively snuck through the never-ending corridors. Paintings and tapestries covered the royal blue walls of the building. Whoever lived here when this place was alive had a lot of money. Mahogany and chestnut desks sat against the walls every so often and the doors all had golden handles. Most were single doors but there were one or two doorways that had twin doors covering their vast space. I walked up behind her, "Uma lle sinta manke ro naa?" {Do you know where he is?}
The huntress before me let out a heavy breath, "N'uma." Her black leather boots slipped lightly as we walked onto marble tile. She turned, "Dina." {Shh!} Stealthily, we both snuck past three elven guards and down the largest corridor. They wore silver armor that was much cheaper than that of the Fae or any elven armor. We continued down the hall, past several more doors. At the end were two large doors with golden handles. Reyna shivered as we opened one of the doors.
The room inside was colored with redwood furniture and the bed had salmon colored bedding on it. Together they looked terrible but as Reyna's eyes surveyed the room they filled with terror. The room itself could not be causing this. I grabbed her hand, "Mani naa ta?" {What is it?} I tried to voice my concerns with as much emotion in my tone as possible. I knew something was bothering her and I did not want her to just ignore my worry.
She bit her lip, "Ro oblete amin sinome." {He imprisoned me here.} My brow furrowed, this did not look like the most horrible place to be imprisoned. I could not truly understand why this was so horrible because nothing like this had ever happened to me. I recalled the whip marks and wondered if this was where they were inflicted. Whimpers came from her voice but she continued through another door. We passed a small room that was open. She glanced in and gasped. I walked in and saw manacles on the ground and wall. Now I knew where he whipped her, and I grew angry. I was angry with him but more importantly angry with myself for not protecting her from this.
I turned, "Mani naa tyarien lle gorg?" {What is causing you to fear?} Reyna backed away from the room frightfully. Reyna was not one to fear anything and this worried me deeply.
"Sina naa manke ro naigre amin." {This is where he raped me.} Her voice was wavering and angry. I gasped, 'Raped her? This fiend had no right! How dare he!' Anger fueled me, 'How am I ever going to get Reyna to trust me if I cannot save her from beasts like Rauko who mutilate her sense of security?' I realized that blaming myself was pointless but I did it anyway. She strode down the hall, hostility lingering in the air behind her. Her shoulder was still lightly bleeding and I followed hastily.
"Manke naa lle autien?" {Where are you going?} I was not nearly as familiar with this place as Reyna so I had follow her but I did not like feeling lost.
Her voice was ice, "Tel mani ro yeste." {To finish what he began.} I continued to follow her to the last doorway of the hall. It was a massive doorway and one door was slightly ajar. She grinned, "Quel. Ro qualmuva sii'." {Good. He will die now.} She slipped in and I slipped in right behind her.
I grabbed her hand, "Tampa!" {Stop!} She glared at me through her frosted grey eyes. Rage boiled in her tempestuous eyes as she stared at me.
"Mani?" {What?} Her voice was very curt, and it hurt me to hear her speak to me like that when I love her so much.
I sighed. I was worn out emotionally from all the brutal attacks from her but I remained loyal. "Amin mela lle. Uuma aute awra!" {I love you. Do not get hurt!} She nodded and fiercely and walked towards Lindele's sleeping form.
He woke as she approached him. Malice glowed in his blue eyes. "A! Huanamin, sut naa lle?" {Ah! My dog, how are you?} I grew angrier every time that he spoke. This insult to all elves was treating my beloved Reyna like scum.
It took almost all of my emotional strength not to shoot him. Reyna trudged forward, clutching her shoulder. "Amin delotha lle." {I hate you.} Her voice was filled with enough ice to freeze the treacherous elf where he stood.
Rauko sighed, "You always were feisty!" Reyna snarled loudly. My bow was drawn and I held that position with my bow aimed straight at his heart, if he had one.
"Say what you wish, it is your deathbed."
Cold grey eyes started straight into calm blue ones. "Such anger, it's quite the contrary to the willing girl who begged me to make love to her..."
I lost control, "You sick fiend! How dare you accuse this moral lady of such horrendous acts! She would never make love to you!"
A cocky smirked crossed his face, "What? Jealous, Prince? She was good but a little too easy for my taste." Reyna shifted and her hand fell from her shoulder. Something about her seemed to surrender. I ran at him, full of anger.
As I started to run past Reyna, she threw her hand out, "Tampa. Uuma cronha ro. Amin mela ro." {Stop. Do not attack him. I love him.}
Confusion and pain filled my eyes, "MANI?" {What?} I froze and stared at her. "Naa lle nyarien i' ilrisa?" {Are you telling the truth?}
Rauko smiled, "Reyna, you have decided to marry me?"
A smile crossed Reyna's moist lips, "Uma." {Yes.}
My brow furrowed, "What are you saying Reyna?" Her grey eyes were misty and faded. I bit my lip and glared at Rauko; "What kind of witchery is this?"
Rauko laughed, "She agrees with the idea of marriage, this is not witchcraft. It is your vixen who is the witch anyway, not I."
I snarled, "She is not going to marry you because you are not going to survive my wrath!" As I yelled at him Aragorn and Elrohir stormed in.
Elrohir's brows furrowed, "What is going on?"
Rauko smiled slyly, "Reyna has decided to marry me."
Aragorn and Elrohir looked at Reyna, "Is this true?"
Reyna's misty grey eyes looked at them, "En rant." {Of course.}
I looked at Aragorn, "He has bewitched her! A minute ago she was talking of his destruction!"
Aragorn grimaced, "There is nothing we can do to prove that. We must allow them to wed, and if Rauko is marrying Reyna then we cannot kill him."
Anger boiled inside me and Elrohir saw it. I lashed out and shot an arrow straight into the air. It flew up and embedded itself in the ceiling directly above Rauko. I shivered, "I will never allow this as long as I live." I fled from the room, trying to stay calm.
When I stopped at the edge of a balcony a voice behind me spoke, "Legolas..." The voice was a hushed whisper, so silent that even my elven ears could not tell who spoke my name.
I turned to tell Aragorn to leave and saw it was Reyna. "Cathelle..." I stared at her, "Mankoi?" {Why?}
Her eyes filled with sorrow and the clouds over her eyes lifted, "Mankoi mani?" {Why what?}
I sighed, "Why did you say you would marry him?"
"Ya?" {Who?}
"Rauko. You said you would marry Rauko..."
Reyna gasped, "Are you being truthful! Oh no! Please get me out of here Legolas, before Rauko bewitches me again!"
Aragorn walked around the corner, "So you are correct Legolas. Good. Reyna must leave this place."
Reyna's eyes filled with anguish, "I need to slay that bastard first!"
I winced at her foul tongue, "I will do this for you Reyna. Please, it was my heart he toyed with also."
She considered, "I suppose. Aragorn, please help me out of here." She turned and fled with Aragorn in close pursuit. I saw Rauko run past the doorway and I ran after him.
"Tampa!" {Stop!} He did not stop, and neither did I.
~~~POV CHANGE-REYNA LINDELE~~~
I turned to look for Aragorn and the only person behind me was Rauko. He smiled, "Cathamin." {My cat.}
I struggled to resist him but fog covered my vision, "Melamin." {My love.} He kissed me.
"Lle mela amin?" {Do you love me?}
I nodded unwillingly, "Uma. Lle mela amin?" {Yes. Do you love me?}
He smiled, "En rant." {Of course.} He murmured High Elven under his breath, it was the bonding spell. Suddenly I broke free of his trance.
"N'uma!" I wrenched my arm out of his grasp and ran. He grabbed my hair and stopped me. I clawed at him, "I will never bond with you."
His deep blue eyes stared at me, "Nan' lle mela amin." {But you love me.}
I hissed, "Go kiss an orc!"
He kissed me warmly, "I would rather kiss you."
I bit his lip, "Too bad that isn't an option." Behind him I saw Legolas turn the corner. I wrapped my arms around Rauko in a passionate embrace and undid his leather armor. Legolas nodded as I kissed Rauko. Rauko smiled.
"Reyna, I am glad you are finally starting to agree with me." He tried to unfasten my armor and pushed me into a room to the left. Rauko closed the door and I bit my lip. It wasn't locked though, and Legolas could still get through.
Rauko wasted no time in removing my armor and pushing me down onto the bed. I began to tense up as I led him on. Legolas had better hurry. Rauko shoved his tongue into my mouth. I closed my eyes, out of fear not out of passion. 'Legolas, hurry up!' I began to shake as he let his hands roam over my body. "Slow down, make love to me slowly."
He raised an eyebrow; "You want me to make love to you again?"
A lump swelled in my throat, "Yes."
Quickly, he removed his pants and smiled, "Gladly."
I masked my fear as he pulled down my underwear and entered me. I cringed at the pain.
He smiled as he started thrusting in and out, "You like that?"
It took all of my strength not to vomit. "Yes." He began to moan. Suddenly I heard the soft sound of footfalls. The door was open and Aragorn, Legolas and Elrohir stood before me. Utter relief washed over me and Rauko smiled.
"Are you finished already my love?" My stomach lurched. I leaned over the bed and became violently sick. Legolas shot an arrow at Rauko and it embedded itself his arm.
Legolas's elvish voice was soothing, "Lle naa varna sii'. Amin naa sinome." {You are safe now. I am here.} Warm silky blood slipped through my fingers. I wrenched the arrow out of Rauko's arm with a twist. Pain shone in Legolas's eyes, and I was shamed that he saw me like that. Rauko lunged at me.
I snarled and pulled the wounded elf up by his hair, "Amin delotha lle. Lle ikotane irva." {I hate you. You are so sick.} I spat in his eyes and started to bring my dagger to his throat.
Elrohir grabbed my arm, "Tampa!" {Stop!}
I glared at him, "Mani?" {What?}
Elrohir took out a scroll, "Elrond requested he be brought to him alive."
Growling rose from my throat, "Too bad, Elrond does not know what this bastard has done to me!" Legolas wrapped the sheet around me and picked me up in his arms.
"Cathelle, you will kill him when we get to Rivendell."
My eyes lit with anger, "N'uma! Amin merna qualm ro sii'!" {No! I want to kill him now!} Legolas would not let go of me, he carried me out of the fortress, through the forest and laid be down on a cot.
"Let me heal your shoulder and we will ride to Rivendell. This war is over." I saw piles of dead Uruk-hai being burned and dozens of wounded being healed.
"Legolas, allow me to heal some of the seriously wounded before we go. I haven't used any magic lately and the other healers are running low I am sure."
He nodded, "En rant Tariamin." {Of course my queen.} He healed me quickly and I started healing the injured. I stood next to Arwen.
A question loomed over us, "Where is Lirawen?"
Arwen sighed, "Haldir left for Lorien with her right after the last Uruk- hai was slain. She was stabbed in the stomach thrice and it is likely she will make it there alive. She refused treatment here and said she was fine. She healed herself somewhat and Haldir tried to heal her but he is not the best. He decided she needed to see Galadriel so they set off about three hours ago."
I gasped, "It's been three hours since you killed the last Uruk-hai?"
She nodded, "We were all worried when we could not find Legolas or you. Some thought you both dead but Aragorn and Elrohir wouldn't hear it. They went in search of you, and obviously found you."
I nodded and fastened my armor over my chest again. I had already pulled on my leggings and a camisole. "Rauko is still alive. We are going to take him to Rivendell supposedly."
Arwen sighed, "I heard." She looked at my blood-covered hands, "What happened in there?"
Legolas approached, "I have saddled Kemi, so we will depart whenever you are ready..."
I turned to Arwen as I mounted Kemi, "I did what I had to in order to contain him." Arwen bit her lip with a knowing expression on her face. I hung my head in shame as we rode away.
Arwen waved, "Vanya sulie tenna ento lye omenta astalder." {Fair winds until next we meet valiant one.}
A smile graced my face, "Diola lle mellonamin." {Thank you my friend.} Elrohir and Elladan rode in front of us with Rauko on a horse between them. His hands were bound behind him and blood still leaked from arm.
I looked bravely forward and ignored the concerned look in Legolas's eyes. As he rode closer to me he whispered, "Amin lava a' lle sal'." {I yield to you still.}
He looked me in the eye and I sighed. "Amin sinta, diola lle mela en' coiamin." {I know, thank you love of my life.} He blushed and we rode towards Rivendell in comfortable silence.
