Vero reached down and jerked Elrond up sending Legolas sprawling into the ground.
" bad people do bad things, right?" Vero said
" right" Elrond said
" well we will just have to see what bad things I can do to you then, wont we?" Vero said with a smirk.
" yes" Elrond said
" Vero!" a voice called out.
" what!" Vero snapped at the voice
" they're here!" the voice called out
" well, it looks like I'll have to have my fun later." vero said. He threw Elrond against the wall and stalked off.
" who?" Legolas asked as he moved closer to Elrond
" I don't know who is here" Elrond said craning his neck to see over everyone else.
" bring him back here" a voice that sounded like Vero's commanded.
Elrond gasped as he saw what his captors where dragging to the back of the cave
Beraid was bleeding and was half way unconscious
" put the girl over there with the other two." a voice said sharply.
" you're a healer, right" vero said
" yes" Elrond said never taking his eyes off of Beraid
" heal him then" vero said as he bent down and roughly cut off the rope that held Elrond's arms behind his back.
Beraid was shoved into Elrond's arms along with a bag.
" fix him up. He better be conscious by dinner time. Or you and your daughter will get no food " vero demanded.
Elrond said nothing. He gently laid Beraid down on the cold stone floor. By quickly looking over him Elrond could tell that he had a deep gash on his forehead his arm seemed broken and his leggings and tunic were torn. Elrond could see many cuts and bruises. Especially around beraid's wrists.
Beraid moaned as Elrond touched his wrists .
" shush mellon-nin. Its alright now" Elrond said soothing as he gently pulled beraid's shirt off.
Elrond sighed. It looked like the elves had beaten Beraid also. By the looks of it Beraid only had one broken rib an a whole lot of cuts and bruises. Most weren't serious but a few were. Elrond tore his gave away and looked around for the bag that on of the elves had given him and also for Legolas.
" its okay Legolas. Come over here and sit next to me" Elrond said as he reached out his hand to the little elfling in the shadows.
Legolas slowly inched his way over to Elrond. When he got next to him Elrond gently untied to too tight ropes that held Legolas's hands behind his back.
" sit right there" Elrond said as he reached behind Legolas for the bag.
Elrond first tended to the gash on beraid's forehead. It was wasn't as deep as it looked. It was dirty and dried blood made it look worse.
Legolas sniffled as he looked at his friend.
Elrond put a hand on his shoulder.
" I'll make him better, n'dela no'ta Legolas," Elrond said with a squeeze on Legolas's shoulder.{ don't worry about it}
Legolas nodded his head.
Elrond opened the bag that had been given to him. Inside were a good Varity of healing herbs, bandages, salve, and a needle and thread for stitching. Elrond gently but thoroughly cleaned the gash. He stitched it up and put salve and herbs and some bandages. He gently took off beraid's tunic. Beraid's chest was covered in bruises. He had a cracked rib and one broken one. Elrond gently cleaned up and put herbs on the many cuts and bruises. He stitched up the worse of them and bound them. Once Elrond was done with beraid's chest he moved down to his arms. On beraid's right forearm a deep purple bruise ran down it. The wrist wasn't broken but was very tender due to the deep bruise and the cuts that a rope must have caused. Elrond gently cleaned and bound beraid's right wrists packing it with herbs. Beraid's left forearm had a deep cut that ran almost down his entire arm. Elrond cleaned that and bound it also. He found that the left wrist had been twisted until it broke. Sighing, Elrond quickly tended to the rest of Beraid's injuries. His legs were bruised but nothing else was broken. He had several cut on his Legolas but other than that there was nothing major.
" Beraid?" Elrond softly called to the Mirkwood healer.
Beraid moaned as he opened his eyes.
" I need you to eat these.": Elrond said as he handed a couple of herbs to Beraid. "they will help numb the pain" Elrond said not mentioning that they would also keep him awake.
Beraid nodded as he took the herbs from Elrond and swallowed them.
" where are we?" Beraid croaked
" in a cave somewhere" Elrond replied
" Legolas.." Beraid said " where is he, Saes, don't tell me he is here with us."
" Legolas is sitting right here" Elrond said as he gently scooted Legolas into beraid's line of vision.
" oh no" beraid said " Legolas I'm so sorry"
Legolas said nothing.
" who else is here?" Beraid asked as he tried to sit up
" me Arwen Glorfindel and however came with you. A girl I think" Elrond replied as he helped Beraid into a sitting position.
" nienna" beraid said
" do you remember how they captured you? Elrond asked
" no… the last thing I remember is seeing Amras's horse and then ….nothing" beraid said.
" where did you see the horse?" Elrond questioned
" somewhere in the forest.. I was going to an old friend of mine… I don't remember anything after that" beraid said.
Elrond nodded his head " you have a pretty bad gash on your head."
Beraid nodded slowly " I can feel it"
" Beraid?" a little voice called
" uma Legolas?" beraid said as he turned his head to look at the scared elfling
Legolas gently touched on of the bandages on beraid left arm.
" I'll be fine.. Come here and give me a hug to make it feel better" beraid said as he opened his arms out to the elfling.
Carefully Legolas climbed up into beraid lap and laid his head down on beraid shoulder.
" ada" he whispered in beraid's ear
" you'll see him soon. He wont let you go missing for long" beraid said as he drew soothing circles on Legolas's back
" stop" Legolas gasped as Beraid touched his back
" what? What's wrong?" beraid asked concerned for his prince
" Vero beat him last night and his back is very sore." Elrond said as he gently took Legolas out of Beraid's arms and laid him across his lap " now that I have some medical supplies I can make it feel better" Elrond said as he gently took off Legolas's sleeping tunic. He and Beraid put salve and herbs on his red back. Once Legolas's back was cleaned up and bandaged Beraid took him in his arms once more.
" I'm sorry that they did this to you" beraid said as he cuddled with the elfling.
Legolas said nothing, he just laid in Beraid's arms.
" bad people do bad things, right?" Vero said
" right" Elrond said
" well we will just have to see what bad things I can do to you then, wont we?" Vero said with a smirk.
