BROTHERS FOREVER
CHAPTER TWO
WORRY
"Estel!" Elrohir yelled as he rushed to his brother's side and caught him before his head hit the ground.
"Elladan! Get in here quick!" Elrohir yelled through the door that
joined his twin brother's room with his own.
Estel seemed to be unconscious he's breathing coming in short gasps. He was covered in sweat which made his whole body shiver.
Elladan was in the room in half a second, knowing the only time his brother yelled like that someone was in danger, that person most of the time being Estel.
"What happened?" asked Elladan seeing Estel in Elrohir's arms.
"He just collapsed Elladan, it is hard for him to breath and he burns with a fever." Said Elrohir looking worriedly at his twin.
Elladan came over and place his hand on his brother's forehead, he winced when he felt the heat that came from there.
"Elrohir you stay with him, I'm going to go and wake Ada," Said Elladan standing up.
"Hurry Elladan, his breathing seems to be getting worse." Said Elrohir brushing a ringlet out of Estel's face.
"Don't worry I'll hurry," Elladan said as he turned to go.
Elrohir turned back to Estel, stroking his hair he said. "Don't worry tithen gwador, Ada is coming."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Elladan ran down the hall as fast as he could without waking anyone else up.
It seemed like an eternity to Elladan but he finally reached the last door at the end of the hall.
Elladan didn't hesitate, he grasped the door handle and let the door fall open, there was his father sleeping very peacefully, he didn't even think about not waking him and ran over to the side of the bed.
Elrond lord of Rivendell was in the middle of a very pleasant dream when a soft but firm shake on the shoulder woke him from his slumber. He turned to come face to face with his oldest son.
"Elladan? It's a bit early to be waking people, don't you think son?" said Elrond giving his son a half smile.
"I'm…sorry…Ada…but…you…need…to…come…Elrohir's…room…quick,"
Elladan blurted out trying to catch his breath.
"Why?" asked Elrond now fully awake. "Estel…he…he collapsed." Said Elladan.
"What! What is wrong with him? What illness has struck him? Why is he in Elrohir's room?" said Elrond his words all in a jumble, grasping his firstborn's hands tightly.
"Ada! Slow down, let me explain, Estel managed to get to Elrohir's room before he collapsed, Ada, he's having trouble breathing, and he burns with a fever," said Elladan being able to breath again.
"Alright, I'll go to him, you go to the kitchen and get a bowl of water and some rags," said Elrond eyes wide with worry.
"Alright, please hurry Adar," said Elladan running out the door.
"Elrond ran out the door down the hall and was at Elrohir's door in less then a minute.
"Ada, help me please!" Elrohir pleaded Estel was twitching violently in his arms.
"Let him go! But hold on to his head," said Elrond kneeling beside his middle and youngest sons.
All of a sudden Estel went limp…no Elrond was not seeing this, but there it was in front of him, Estel had just stopped breathing.
